    You should do a helicopter tour to feast your eyes on the enormity of the L.A. basin.

    Live Cuban music is always a good option there. Plenty of swanky hotel bars if that's your thing. If the Dolphins are playing, you could catch some live gridiron. The Hurricanes are the local college team as well.

    Proudly flying the Villa flag in America since 1994.

    Yes, it's quite likely this. And to be fair to Heck, who is presently facing a brewing storm of hostility, his fundamental remit with Villa is to work every angle he can to save and pump more cash into the club's coffers. If people are displeased with Heck so far, and I'm one of them, perhaps more scrutiny should fall upon Wes Edens, who is apparently the one who pushed for the hire, and Sawiris, who signed off on it. If the owners are willing to let the new commercial guy blow up the new badge that supporters just voted for, only to be replaced by the previous **** badge, what else will they let this guy get away with? It's the badge that represents our lowest point in decades. And we want to return to that image? If the club values a cohesive and coherent "brand identity" as an important initiative as Villa reasserts itself on the world stage, then the last few months have been an abject failure in that regard, and because it's happening in conjunction with the positive and exciting results on the pitch, it makes it all the more frustrating, and a reminder of embarrassing episodes we've had to endure with incompetent regimes in the past. From a marketing perspective, this badge calamity is making Villa look like rank amateurs. Edit: And then there's the whole stadium redevelopment reversal. Really flimsy stuff from the owners.

    Excellent post, and I have to say "Muller Yogurt Long Sleever" might just be the best handle on Villa Talk.

    I'm inclined to agree with the first sentence. Not sure if you can say his decisions are "very American" unless you think arrogance and poor judgment are uniquely American. Your last sentence is not accurate. Baseball and gridiron were both first played mid 19th century. Ice hockey since early 20th, and basketball mid century. If any country's sporting history rivals Britain, it is the U.S.

    I wish we'd just kept Archer.

    i know, thats what i meant to convey, but i worded it in a way that could be interpreted differently

    Pfft, I thought we might see Stewart Downing today, the clearing in the woods

    Would be a good signing, but I doubt Brighton want to sell him.

    Good result. Now get on the bus and get the f*ck out of there. I've never minded Boro, despite them poaching players from us over the years. Would rather see them back in the PL than Leeds or West Brom, etc.

    Just power that first time dougie

    These Boro players look like they also play for the local rugby side.

    I honestly can't bring myself to vote on this. They're all mediocre at best, fully crap at worst, depending on my mood. Middlesborough have had their current badge for about 15 years or so I think, and it's a well-crafted design. Doesn't get the blood racing but it's a tidy look.

    Sunderland

    maqroll replied to Richard's topic in Other Football

    This Sunderland story is unbelievable. It beggars belief that it actually happened!

    Introduced to a new generation on the silver screen-

    YES!!!

    There's a young South African striker who has been scouted by a number of Dutch sides who we could probably get for dirt cheap. Luke "Sky" Walker from Moss Eisley F.C. One for the future, anyway.
  22. maqroll
    That was the idea, I'm glad it worked.
  23. maqroll
    I'd take Wayne Rooney as a third striker option..

    The window doesn't open until the 33rd (A waitress at a restaurant I worked at once said "I'll be back from vacation on the 33rd....and she was serious)

    If Barca or Arsenal or Man City come in for Douglas, I worry...
