That's possibly true.
I don't see how you can view sturridge moving to chelsea as anything other than a step up.
They're the 2nd best (possibly the best) team in the country right now.
I can't be bothered arguing about Barry, we exhausted it over the summer. As far as I'm aware though, most decent villa fans (the silent majority) still respect Barry, I think that's important before City fans start labelling all villa fans pathetic or stupid or classless.
read my above post wishing barry well.

Nice counter punching AVFC, personally having lived in Brum for 10 years before i came out here, i find the fans somewhat hypocritical, i remember them getting 50 odd thousand against Liverpool on the Saturday and then under 20,000 the following Wednesday against Wimbledon, that said i have some good friends who are "Villa" thru and thru who were disgusted at the vile directed at Barry last Monday. After all he left for more money and more ambitious club right now (thru the investment i grant you) which is what each and everyone of us have (or will do in the future) done in our work lives, so whats the difference here?
I still think we both have an excellent chance of breaking into the so-called "Big-4" this season, with The Arse and the scousers being most vulnerable. If, like us no doubt, you spend wisely in January, i see no reason why we should both be in the Champions League next season - best of luck pal!

We're not interested how your boo boys treated Yorke, he's not one of ours. Barry is though and as I said previously I bet he's pretty glad he is now.
You obviously didn't go to the game.
A vocal minority booed, at the end of the game a majority of real fans applauded Barry who applauded back.
I can there is no changing your mind, I knew that anyway but I'm hoping to appeal to more sensible city fans who will realise that it's just a few morons.
We had a crowd of 37,000, probably less than 1,000 booed. Yeah, we have a majority of morons....
Barry will always be Villa. I know friends of Gareth who know he's still villa. The booing was pantomine stuff, and everyone including Barry knwos this. He's still Villa.

So I'm not a sensible City fan because I'm daring to disagree with you?
No, I didn't go to the game (this year) however, I know countless people who did and all have the same opinion/argument as I do. You say less than 1,000 booed? Well, if that's the case they must have extremely loud voices, because from what I could tell it was pretty damn deafening.
You need to tell one or two of your fans that it was pantomime stuff. Your mate who got his 15mins of fame was frothing at the mouth or was that all tongue in cheek too?
You know friends of Gareths do you? Well, I know his mothers cousins daughters boyfriend who says he hates Villa now after all that booing ;@)

You can think Barry is 'yours' all you like, just as much as you probbaly think Adebayor is a blue or whatever.
Barry knew he'd get a few boos, from some idiots, but from his own mouth he's 'villa for life'.
Do you think a few pantomine boos, then a massive round of applause from the holte end at the end of the game will change that?
I know most of you just can't put club bias aside for a moment, but hey, I'm sure there are a few sensible people on here.

I live around the corner from where he used to live.
That was one 'fan' by the way, and he was pretty cringeworthy.
And I'm not saying you're not sensible becauseyou don't agree with me,more because you're letting club bias cloud your opinion. Every club boos players, in some eyes Barry deserves it for numerous (already explained) reasons, whereas Dunne was never going to get booed because he didn't ask for a transfer, never wanted to go etc.
They're not comparable.
