Mud wrestling > shootouts

Any good Villa fan knows one of the highlights of the season is watching our boys crush Birmingham City...if the Blues are even in the Premiership, that is. But it looks like we have more reasons to enjoy the Second City Derby - our American owners. Forget the standards of British decency, General Charles Krulak has referred to Blues' chairman David Gold as a 'pig in mud' and is not apologizing for it. He said he wouldn't wrestle with the pig in the mud but I'm all for owner mud wrestling. While it might not have the same appeal as watching two drunk 19-year-olds go at it, there's something to be said for grumpy old men. With that in mind, here's my dream owner mud wrestling matchup (cue the announcer):


In the baby blue corner, hailing from Manchester via Thai exile, weighing in at 138 pounds, the man who puts the 'Bang' in Bangkok, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra!

and his opponent...




In the red corner, from Columbia, Missouri, weighing in at 165 pounds, a man who really knows how to strap it on, new Arsenal owner Enos Stanley Kroenke!

Let's get it on, indeed.
