I wonder what it is about the words "one-off offer" and "all people living close to Villa Park" that posters who run around bleating about "the muslims" don't understand.

Marriage made in heaven.

Yeah, I was about to say something similar. Who cares about the money? He's a class act. If Keegan wants the player and Ashley is willing to stump up and this doesn't have a negative impact on our ability to buy/keep other players, then why not? I'd love to see Deco in a black and white shirt.

They're no bigger than Benfica or Porto.

What did he say when Man U signed Ronaldo?

As you need to be 5th for UEFA qualification, what position should we aiming for that is "nearer to the top 4"? 4.5th?

There's been speculation about us buying Bridge for about the last four managers. I'm bored with the idea and fed up with Chelsea rejects.

I looked at the Premier League Fair Play Table last week. We were way down near the bottom.

There is no UEFA spot for sixth place. A simple enough fact, really.

No.

I think his motivation had gone at the end, I think Souness knocked it out of him. Tbf, I think even SBR struggled at times. He wasn't a very well-motivated player in general. I remember Bobby saying something to the effect that Robert was one of the most difficult players he'd ever worked with – "even more difficult than Romario".

I hoped he was just trying to keep the squad's confidence up.

I don't feel carried away yet, but there's that definite feeling that a corner has been turned. As Winston said, "It is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it may, just may, be the end of the beginning."

Imagine Terry Mac's face if he was told he was booked to go on it. He'd be all right on the Advanced Cone Management module.

OK, Orson never scored 35 from the wing and his temperament was often suspect, but can you imagine Cristiano playing Harry Lime or designing the three-minute opening shot in A Touch of Evil?

Well done Arsenal, Portsmouth! Man City, Blackburn, West Ham – wankers!

He's definitely more Wyn Davies than Jackie Milburn, though.

It was always obvious that he stood a 3-1 chance of ending up in a city that began with an M.

Fulchester Rovers.

Was that before or after they dropped out of the football league?

I'll be happy if we get a draw, amazed if we beat the bastards. In optimistic mode, I'll say 2-2.

Could see him as a Keegan player.
