  1. The way Mat Kendrick is eviscerating Lerner on his Twitter feed suggests to me that he knows Lerner is OUT. Considering he's been an unabashed Lerner apologist up until now says it all.
  2. I think it's safe to assume this is the end for Paul Lambert at Villa. Good guy, a hope he gets another job soon and learns from his experience with Villa.
  3. Dmitri posted about 20 various crest designs on here back before the current one was released, and there were some absolute gems on there.
  4. So, will we get a new crest design? The Telegraph article mentioned a "total rebranding", so let's hope so!
  5. The Dodgers cost 1 billion US...that group could buy Villa without even thinking it through...
  6. Spurs is my guess. Half of them play like they're on crack, the rest like they're wasted on cannabis.
  7. Don't know but it sure worked well! Let Kenny Dalglish throw absurd amounts of cash at players like Charlie Adam and Andy Carroll, realize how stupid it was and then roll the dice on a new manager.
  8. I'd prefer they go with lower profile actors altogether
  9. Two billionaires fronting a consortium of millionaires are apparently interested in buying Aston Villa. To speculate that such an outfit would intend to invest heavily in their new venture seems quite reasonable to me...
  10. James Nursey is milking this on his Twitter account. He can't bring it to copy, but he'll pound the drum on Twitter until the cows come home.
  11. I think Lance Armstrong is busy looking under his sofa cushions for spare nickels.
  12. Unlikely, IMO. I think he likes his California lifestyle and the low pressure job he's currently in. Even if the US don't make it out of the group stage, his job is still secure, in my opinion.
  13. Baseball is played in more countries than cricket. Basketball and ice hockey are played in more countries than rugby. At the end of the day, football is the world's sport, everything else is a niche sport in comparison. Sorry for going so far OT Cricket is a bigger sport worldwide than baseball is.
  14. Basketball was invented in Massachusetts. Ice Hockey is American insofar as the top professional league for the sport has always had a majority of US clubs (Boston, NY, Detroit, Chicago).
  15. The 70's were a LONG time ago...so much has changed since then, it makes your head spin. The infrastructure and demand for football in the US is set in stone at this point. NASL was poorly conceived and poorly executed. It was packaged as a gimmick and always had a short shelf life.

  17. No, actually. I quite like them. As do millions of people around the world.
  18. Considering that 20 years ago there wasn't even a top flight league in the US, it's most likely just a matter of when. MLS is already making the NBA and NHL look nervously over their shoulders. But NFL and MLB will still reign supreme for a good long while still. It will be another 30 years before the USA is good enough to win the World Cup and MLS considered an elite league.
  19. Would probs have to be Birmingham United if you want the whole city to be under one team...
  20. You should read "Clandestine in Chile", peterms. True account of a guerrilla journo in Chile during Pinochet's reign of terror, as told to GGM.
