Same here. He is as far from the typical skate as you can imagine.

James Pearce tweeted at 10.45 yesterday that tickets were going on sale at 11.00 on Sunday and not 11.00 on Monday as advertised. Chap I was stood next to, watching our nippers play football, logged straight onto the 2012 website at 11.00 and got 4 evening tickets for the athletics. Job done

Would be an excellent signing IMHO.

The Villa fan I share an office with renewed his season ticker as soon as he heard the news. Renewals were down by nearly 40% and it's that that has focused the mind of the owners.

Big difference between players with EPL experience and those of the downward slope.

Post enforced career break, we'd put a small(ish) deposit down on a house just outside Amandola in The Marche but I gotten a decent job offer, Mrs VFTT was expecting child 2 so I stopped the move. Mortgage is paid off in a few years and then we will buy a gaff out there.

When the kit was 1st released they club stated that whilst we'd have 2 new kits for 12/13 the current 2nd kit would become our 3rd kit. Just because you can't remember doesn't make any less accurate.

TBF he did. He's been on about their finances for ages.

We want young and hungry players on the way up, not older players on their way down. We've done that route and it resulted in relegation.

I'm sure they are much less of an issue in the NW. As I said I'd personally opt for Vancouver if I were going to settle over the pond. Couldn't abide being surrounded by yanks 24/7 Instead, once the kids have grown and flown the nest, we will settle in either rural France or Italy.

I can add Philippians to the oriental list, and Indonesian thinking about it. Former paid for, latter due to charm

After many years at sea, many :-)

If you get a chance to live over the pond then to me the only place to go, IMHO, is Canada. I lived in the States and I found the right wing xenophobia and almost fundamental Christianity intolerable.

Plus, if it fu.cks off the Catholic church it must be OK.

This is getting tedious. Marriage isn't important (and it's only civil weddings BTW) however, regardless of the views of the importance of marriage people shouldn't have the CHOICE removed because of their sexuality. Straight/gay should have the CHOICE to get married if they so wish to. It's really not a very hard concept to grasp.

Considering I live up north I think my view is quite accurate. Neither the carrot crunchers or wurzels to the west or east are relevant to this conversation. This is purely a North/South thread.

The Midlands start at the A34/M3 junction and the North starts at the M4. This is FACT.

It's not just my opinion but also the opinion of plenty of economists in The City. Once the Med nations revert to their own currency the northern Europeans will be left with a very robust currency and interlinked economies.

Without a doubt. As usual they've played a blinder.

A currency based out of Frankfurt, run by German bankers and run for the German economy is going to be powerful and strong, as was the Mark and Germany didn't do too badly out of that did they?

It's not important but thats not to say that those, either gay or straight, who feel the need to be married shouldn't be free to do so.

It will work perfectly in northern Europe as all the economies are reliant on Germany. It will become a very powerful currency.

I couldn't give a fu.ck if straight or gay folk want to get married. Seriously, who gives fu.ck?

That's a fair point regarding Spain as they are in a dire position and with their nationalist past it would be a popular and ballsy move.
