Frederick

I admire Ashley Cole for not crashing his car when his agent phoned him to say that Arsenal were offering him 55k a week. Surely they were taking the piss!?!

And boy did he start badly. Now, something of a cult hero.

Freddy Bouma in your fantasy team?

Birmingham 1-2 Aston Villa. What a glorious, "proper" derby match with one of the all-time great satisfying conclusions. And Liam Ridgewell, well he's the gift that keeps giving.

We need waaay more Rose.

I just had one of the most boring, senseless football related dreams (and I lose the term loosely) ever: in this "dream", I'm sitting watching Sky Sports News as Robbie Savage is unveiled as a Derby County player. I officially have no imagination.

Cute

I like how they made it about England. "Lets hope Benayoun can do this against the Russians!"

Because.

Haha...Robert...forgot about that. I don't think this thread was greatly affected by the post loss. Just a bunch of reposts. Here's a quick summary of Diane's September to November looks. NY, Berlin, Munich...

I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'll settle for being your second favourite Villa supporting Fred. Unless Freddy Four Fingerz has started posting again.

No, I am and have always been Frederick the Great but I only post here. Do I remind you of a girl that you once knew?

Mid-season? If only. Hutchings was always going to go, the guy is a poor man's John Gregory. And that's really saying something.

Thank you, friend.

The trouble is, there are too many terrible teams. Last season everyone was moaning about how the mid-table stretched to about twelve teams, now its all about which team only loses five of their last six games, instead of all six. Assuming Derby are down and assuming that Gary Megson is still rubbish, it'll be between Wigan and Birmingham for the last spot. Being a Villa fan, I want it to be the latter so so badly.

Nick Nolte is the definition of fierce. Kimora Lee just makes me want to be a socialist.

The only Star Wars picture I still watch is The Phantom Menace, though hell if I know why. Its so bad, its not close to being good, but its fascinating in its terribleness. Jake Lloyd, Jar Jar, nearly every line of dialogue... and then there's Terrence Stamp just standing around looking confused. Darth Maul was cool, though.

Y'all see Newcastle's hilarious defending against Portsmouth? And to think people actually wanted "Big Sam" as England manager. They can't even blame it on Titus Bramble anymore, that ship has sailed...to Wigan. Where it shall soon sink.

Now the last two months have been erased from the record, let my endorse the attacking constitution employed by Avram Grant's Chelsea. So he's some Israeli nobody's had ever heard of, I always knew he'd get that team playing good football.

I didn't forget, Egle. Anyway it's cool, I've been called Robert before by mistake. And Will. And you know the one that I get called a lot? Matt. I don't get that one at all.

Robert?

What's the story with you and Wesley? Did he leave the toilet seat up when he stayed at your house or something?
