England...looking good


Just got back from webbly.

been to the germany, israel and russia games.

gotta be honest, the stadium is awesome, and we played some good footy at times in the two competitive games.

refreshing to see england putting teams to the sword.

in the ballot for the croatia game, bring it on!!

How dare you praise England on this board! I'm in the ballot too so we'll have to meet up next time if we are both successful.

yeh good displays by all concerned except Rio Ferdinand who should be dropped. His goal doesn't paper over the cracks of how poorly he played.
Gareth Barry had a couple of really good games - isn't he related to Dick Knight?

Nah, that's Michael Standing (nephew) who was thieved from us by Villa at the same time. Now plays lower league somewhere.

Re: England...looking good


John Gregory once famously said "The chairman of Brighton wouldn't recognize Gareth Barry if he was stood on Brighton beach in the team strip, with a seagull on his head and a ball in his hand."

To be fair it was original but I still give him stick for that.

Heres a few more Gegory quotes (siht manager, funny man)

On A Question Of Sport. He had a picture to identify of a bloke posing with his foot on a football (turned out to be Rubens Barrichello). Quote JG: "Not one of mine then, he's got control of the ball..."

Taylor is so important to us and is Villa through and through, so I don't foresee any problems. But if he rejects it (a new contract offer), I'll throw him in the Holte End and they'll get him to sign.

"Perhaps I should put ?50,000 in the bank, give the FA my credit details and then they can direct debit me over the course of the season.?

"I personally think referees should be wired up to a couple of electrodes and they should be allowed to make three mistakes before you run 50,000 volts through their genitals."


"We paid Stan two million pounds in two years and we got seven Premier League goals in return. I tried everything but I am the third manager in four years who has ended up pulling his hair out. We paid for him to spend months in a clinic for depression, then the day after the season finished he checked out and went on holiday."

On being asked about a strain which was expected to keep Collymore out of action: "It's quite a bad one. It will probably keep him out for a couple of weeks - it's located just between his ears."

Interviewed on Sky: "Well, we're still top of the Premiership," [turns and looks to camera]. "I do apologise for that."

"I've got no time for the usual manager's claptrap you hear. They often say "Well, so and so was very disappointing", but I'd rather say, 'He played crap'."

Gregory was quick to put Merson at ease: "I know Paul has had his problems but we have people here who like wearing dresses and having their bottoms spanked, so I think he should fit in quite well."

Question at AGM: "You said that every player has his price and Dwight Yorke's was 16 mill, how come you only accepted 12 million?" - Gregory: "It was all I could get out of the Scottish Git."

On Yorke: 'If I'd had a gun I could have shot him.'


"The door may be open, but the chairman's wallet has been closed for a while".

"Ten thousand? I gave out more than that. I was up all night printing twenty thousand" - commenting on the Villa fans holding up '?' signs to remind Deadly Doug what his wallet is for against Spurs

"I don't like Chelsea and I've never liked Chelsea"

"He wanted to know who had won the 3:30" - on why Paul Merson had a conversation with him on the dugout phone against Sunderland.

"I'll take that son" - after Paul Merson was given a bottle of champagne for being chosen as man of the match.

"They [pundits] make me laugh, I'm afraid. They had a panel of four on Sky the other day all telling us what we should do and where we were going wrong as Premiership managers. I looked at them and all four had had a bloody nightmare when they had tried management."

"I got hold of Stan Collymore a couple of minutes before the kick-off and told him not to get into trouble. After 30 seconds of the game he got himself booked."

Gregory confirmed that he expects Bosnich to leave the club at the end of the season, even if Villa finish in the top two. Why? Gregory said nothing, just pulled out a roll of banknotes from his trouser pocket.

Gregory was asked had he thought of omitting Bosnich at Hillsborough: "No, we have been having some contract talks as you know and I told him this morning I'd like to TIE him up for 5 years". And, "I know what Bosnich has for breakfast: instant WHIP." He then added that the mystery third man on the Yorke home movie was his chairman, Doug Ellis.
