The hilarious thing is they are using MLG type logic to justify why 28k won't be big enough. Its Because they had 4 crowds of 20k plus last time they were in the bottom division in the early 80s and they got nearly 30k for cup games against 'boro and Spurs in the 80s. Yet as recently as 2010 them struggled to sell their FA Cup final allocation of 25,000.

FFS Dubai Phil, when you started talking about Mecca I got all excited and thought it might be a golf and beer story inside Mecca with Ayatollah Khomeini and Justin Poulter. Can you imagine my disappointment it was simply seeing a band at a place with the same name?? Anyway, its now the County of Cortese, where the Cult resides, kind of a cross between the Deep South US of A, Rio and Mecca.

We are reclaiming the land between Southampton and the Isle of Wight and building a new 200000 stadium on what was Southampton water. The Isle of Wight will become a suburb of The county of Cortese and a 4,000 foot statue of Nicola Cortese is going to be built where Cowes was, similar to the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio. Cortese arms out streached, overlooking and embracing the entire new state of the County of Cortese. When the cult of Cortese are free to preach their teachings. One of the new beliefs is that all members of the CoC are given prayer mats and at 3pm every day they pray towards the direction of the statue. It's been dubbed the European Mecca by some.

Is this the right thread to discuss easyjet pricing models too?

LOL @ all you part timers panicking.

Apologies Pekhart is th one third row, second from right. The one you said was Perry. I'm not sure who the one first left second row is, it doesn't really look like Chris Perry but he isn't anywhere else on there. It must be Davenport.

I hope those who made the effort and camped through the night are rewarded.

Next to Tommy forecast is Ron Reynolds, a goalkeeper for Saints and Tottenham in the 50s.

Not that happy it seems. Already their forums are on about back to back promotions and expanding Fratton Park up to 28k, with some saying that wont be big enough.

I see the scousers are trying to make out he was mocking the Boston Bombings.

Thats Kerry Dixon, 2 row, 2nd left. Great signing. Thomas Pekhart same row 1st left.

Stop stamping on Jimmys dreams FFS.

Very fragile, if they get a hiding tonight it could set them back, just like it did at Stamford Bridge, they then went and got hammered at home by Tottenham and Wigan. You wouldn't fancy them having to get a result at Wigan on the last day that is for sure.

It must be double now that 3rd goal has gone in?

People talking incredible amounts of Bol locks actually.

I'm throughly enjoying it too.

Yes, staying in topic, not going off on a tangent with boring and untrue stories about your mum.

He's absolutely useless, a terrible signing from Fergie, rubbish player. The Japanese Tom Cleverly, or something.

What percentage chance do Villa have of winning this now?

Please say in topic or I will report you to the mods for pointless and sarcastic comments.

We are aiming for a top half finish, why does it matter what happens to the team in 17th?

Great thread.

What we need is a manager who is media friendly, has a few well placed mates who can help the cubs profile and who doesn't mind talking to them and cracking a few jokes. I can think of at least one who will be looking for a premier league job soon and he also has unfinished business with us.......

And Billy Sharp.

By using caps I'm simply saying he was already an established international player, don't forget he was top scorer at the ACON before he joined us. I don't disagree that they probably did have one eye on the future and hed be given the chance to develo, but he is also an established international with a decent track record, I expected a bit more than glimpses of ability in a handful of sub appearances. I would have thought given that then he'd be expected to make more of an impact. It just seems strange to me that a player who clearly has ability has had so little game time. If it was just the case under Adkins or Pochettino then I could see how it might be managerial preference but for it to be the case that neither pick him then it suggests either he isn't as good as we'd hoped or something is wrong behind the scenes.
