Who can forget the fateful day when Agent Dowie the Mad Rocket Scientist was appointed manager of Charlton Athletic.
It would seem, apparently, that history is in fact repeating itself up in the midlands.
The parallels are uncanny. Manager of side valiantly relegated from The Premiership, resigns position for personal/principal reasons. Then rocks up over the road at bitter rivals. Bitter rival supporters are not too happy, ex club serve a writ for breach of contract or tapping up in this case. We all know what could happen next over the ensuing season. (Through bitter experience!) Another similarity is they're both ginger and ugly. (Not that gingerness and ugliness always go hand in hand).
At 25-1 for Villa to get relegated, might be worth a tenner.
The Carling Cup draw was a bit of a dissapointment. I really fancied Palarse in the cup, and the odds were pretty decent with the new regionalised seeding system. But alas, we end up playing a team we play only a couple of weeks earlier. At least it should enable us to concentrate on the league campaign nice and early.
Suggestions from club that the friendly won't go a head. Not sure if they are lining up a replacement.
