I'd check your facts and recharge your memory cells as that is simply not true. (remember the season he was having under JG then GTMkII inexplicably dropped him for Crouch, he would have finished with 20 or so that season too if GT hadn't been a complete idiot). You can hardly count the GTMkII years when it comes to discussing Angel So Angels carrer at Villa goes like this Has trouble settling in in first half season (due to club giving no support at all - well documented) Second season plays a blinder until GTMkII comes in and drops a Bollock by dropping our leading scorer and breaking up a winning partnership to accomodate his purchase - Peter Crouch DOL's first season Angel is again great Last season, injured pre-season and needed (due to squad siaze) to play far earlier than would normally be expected, has a shit season as a consequence And the costing us £10mil thing is irrelevant, thats about £4-5mil in todays prices Can't see where he's FAILED though, every time he's had a bad run of form, there's been a good reason for it

Hmmmm, must have missed that, when exactly did Angel FAIL as a striker?

Well I've thought all along that in some games DOL wants to play the 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 formation that is currently en vogue. With these three forwards he could easily play this with Baros and Angel being the wide forwards that drop back to midfield when defending and having KP as the central striker. I can only see him using this tactic in certain games though. When its two up front - the two inform / fit strikers

There's only one bar, its not like the Royal Court where there was a bar for each floor, before after whatever, I'm easy, let me know closer to the time and we'll arrange it

I think I was probably at all of those gigs Wish I still had the stubbs though Oh and cheers Blandy, just scored myself a couple of SR tickets, two together in the circle row k - see you there for a pint or six

Sigur Ros at the Phil? shit might have to pay for a gig, when did you buy your ticket blandy (or and where?) Which academy are SFA playing at? (there's two, Carling academy owned by the Mckenzie group and the University one - which is really the Mountford hall)

Won't be going to many more myself unfortunately either, my favourite venue in Liverpool has shut its doors for the last time, no more free gigs at the Royal Court for me (I used to work there for years), its been sold and is being turned into a Comedy Club This means I might actually have to ...........gasp.............pay to go and see a gig, something which to the best of my knowledge I've only done twice in the last 20 years :?

Stand in front of the mixing desk then, best place to stand at any gig, you don't get moshed around and you get the sound as the sound engineer hears it (ie the optimum place to stand accoustically)

Lets hope it's not too small, one can only imagine the moaning your poor missus would have to put up with if it was. Pathetic

avfc1982 you are on record many times on VT as saying you will only be happy this summer if we sign another striker and a central defender (it may have been a left back too can't remember) so in light of that repeated statement, why do you appear to be arguing a contrary opinion on this particular topic? Just curious you know?

Actually signing Baros is just us using the remaining money from the Beattie budget, which if I remember correctly was to last us until the end of next january's window (maybe slightly more but hardly "significant")

Oh, you don't know.............................

I thought swearing was frowned upon here

He refs like he's drunk anyway, whats the problem

Mouthgate because Allan Evans wasn't there

I've gone for Earl Barrett but even that has reservations, I'm not voting for the Earl Barratt that crossed the half way line into the oppositions half. There's no obvious choice in this poll though is there, every one of the options has some negatives against their name

Is that the Warsaw Sausage Works team ?

Well believe it or not his name was Dariusz Kubicki, he was a Polish International and he was right back for us

Stan above Wrighty for me but only for that golden first period when he first arrived from Liverpool thanks to Sourness

There's only one choice out of those isn't there really, Bosnich, regardless of the way he left and any other little quibbles people may have about his behaviour, he was simply the best goalkeeper out of those five options

Actually the away strip should be white shirt, blue shorts and white socks, thats what it always used to be back in the day. What a change strip is I have no idea as with both of those kits, you wouldn't need a third kit

We play in white shorts, simple as that

point taken but I think we all know that he won't be for much longer

All a bit pointless now as neither player is a Villa player

Even if we get a replacement its still a bad deal
