  1. They even made it to America
  2. Really doubt Bradley uses the word "dude"...
  3. Ya dirty yolk !!!! christ man! Apologies on behalf of the menfolk on here Come on guys, and people wonder why there are so few female posters nowadays...
  4. I admit I'm biased, as an American to want to see Bradley succeed in England, and if it's with Villa, all the more so! It would represent a roll of the dice though. I'd feel better about Moyes if he wasn't on such a massive losing streak. It's a big concern.
  5. I couldn't care less what a manager's personality is like. If he's focused and driven to win, that should be much more of a priority.
  6. He hasn't managed a club in 6 years, and he was shit then. Frankly I haven't forgiven him for claiming he had to leave because the club had no ambition, then going to **** Middlesbrough. Villa man, is he ****. I never faulted him for wanting out. Ellis had no ambition. At least Boro made a couple of UEFA Cup runs, and almost won the thing. League Cup trophy as well, no?
  7. "He's the man, the boss with a capital ‘B’, and something that we've never seen in Norwegian football. He's the best coach that's ever been here. His awareness, his presence on the pitch is just amazing." - Inge Andre Olsen, Stabaek sporting director Read more at http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/fourfourtwos-50-best-football-managers-world-2015-25-21#QF5wu3Wk2vh2ybqb.99
  8. Gareth Southgate, anyone? Good with young players, knows the league, and is a Villa man to boot. He's not an egomaniac, and he's not a screamer. Could do a decent job to right the ship. Then he can go back to the U21 setup in June....
  9. QUIZ! (I scored 25/30, I challenge you) http://www.sporcle.com/games/zeppelinoid/countries_of_the_russian_soviet_empires
  10. Goose looked shaky the whole game against Chelsea, not just that howler. His confidence has clearly been battered, and the proof is in the pudding. Time to see what Bunn can do.
  11. Ha, true. Too much fun and excitement there.
  12. DeGrom will never have experienced the atmosphere he'll encounter at Wrigley for an LCS game. He's very poised for a young pitcher, but we shall see. Wrigley will be electric, they're so desperate for this.
  13. I was thinking of Bradley yesterday actually. I wonder how an American manager would be viewed in England and if he'd be accepted by the players.

    Drugs

    how pure do you think the drugs would be if they was legalised and run by the government. I think you'd get a uniformity of purity and potency, which would make taking them safer than copping on the street from random sources. Most heroin OD's are due to a sudden influx of more pure product, so people shoot the amount they are used to and overdose, unaware that they only had to use half, or whatever.

    Drugs

    Eventually even the staunchest law and order types will have to concede that a) There is no stopping the cycle of supply and demand for illegal drugs, and 2) There is a **** load of money to be made for governments who are trying to raise revenue State governments in the US took over the mafia's numbers racket and turned it into "The Lottery". Only a matter of time...

  17. As long as he doesn't log into his team page, it most certainly is not his year I take no joy in beating him, but still...2-3 coming into the weekend with 2nd most points scored against me aint too shabby.
  18. Nobody 'invests' in a football club, nobody with any sense anyway. You might aswell get your £1000 and chuck it down the drain. Like buying a couple of season tickets then? I like many here HAVE invested tens of £'000's in Aston Villa over the years and didn't see it as chucking money down the drain. If anything the actual fans are the perfect investors. As a contributor to this debate over two years ago I agreed then that it would be extremely difficult for fans to take over a PL club but I still don't think it is impossible. There would be a huge amount of goodwill (and even financial support) from the fans of other clubs (and further afield) should any set of fans ever try to break the stranglehold. Almost universally fans of PL clubs hate the current system that sees the clubs in the thrall of billionaire owners. In what way did you invest, you mean in buying tickets and merchandise? That is not an investment. In a manner of speaking, it is. He's investing money into an operation that (on the rare Saturday) provides a return on said investment in the form of enjoyment. And collectively, supporters who buy tickets and merchandise represent an investment of liquid cash straight into the coffers of the club.
  19. best time of the day the morning is. Where I'm staying right now, there is this family of crows, who seemingly like to sit outside my window at 6AM and caw like ravens from Hell.
  20. I had a job interview with this fancy pants hotel a few weeks ago. I guess I passed the first one, because they called me back in a week or so later. A few days after that, I followed up with an email per their request. Now, ten days later, I haven't heard a word from them. It took me 90 minutes to drive there, twice, and they don't have the courtesy to either let me know they are still deciding, or that I simply did not get the job. Unprofessional words removed.
  21. "What's the plan, boss?" "Erm...express yourselves, innit?"
