If he's all that good in the market then why did he just waste a few weeks last month not buying anyone? Rhetorical question? You know what he said and the sort of players he brought in last time. Hopefully he'll have a massive budget and he'll need it too.

Not if we're in the Championship. Fair point although he'd have been sacked by then.

He'll do well in the transfer market - I'm sure of that although I really don't know how he can do much with the mess he's been left by SA.

Not good enough although I doubt we'll see him anymore after the Summer. Though "Big Earl" in Cell Block B might.

How can you say SA would have turned us around when he is the main reason we are in this position. Tactics of "hoof it to Big Kev" might excite you but.....howay!!! That is a succession of monumental f*** ups over ten years - and you know it. Souness didn't arrive 10 years ago.

The way we were playing and how bad Villa were made me foolishly think a win was possible. I will never learn.

Even though it's 99% likely we'll lose to Manure in our next game I hope we can at least show the same kind of atmosphere we did today in terms of the crowd. They were brilliant once again and even though we are thoroughly rotten on the pitch at least the fans do us proud.

It looked like Carr had had a go on the Bong pipe!

We should hopefully do better than 0-6 but I can see no way we'll get anything from that game.

With those 3 fixtures coming up we are going to regret all those early season cock-ups against Derby, Wigan etc.

11 Smiths? We'd never score and have 11 bookings every week.

Was this second half worse than the Man Utd debacle? Can't believe we've been humiliated in the second half again.

Arguably better than the last time, if and it's a big if he can do it.

I might need a calculator to keep up. "There's only one Kevin Keegan" being ironically sung by the Villa fans.

6 second half goals at Manure, 4 today and even Carew scores a hat trick.

4-1.

Carr handball. Carew for the hat trick.

Will there be a game like Leicester away in 1992 where we have to win to stay up? It could happen! Penalty to Villa.

Owen side netting.

Better than Smith unquestionably. At least Mike Ashley is smiling but who knows why.

First attempt of the 2nd half - and miles wide in the 82nd minute.

Wonder when the rest of the board will wake up to it? Did you have us down to get something from this game? People are still expecting us to tank a quality side like Vila away it seems. Being ahead 1-0 and deservedly so at half time to being completely destroyed in an embarrassing way in the second is what it's about. I'm sorry for entering a stating the obvious competition, but he scores goals. About 30 since Smith got his last one. 41 today actually - just over a full league season.

We have to rely on others as we can't win a game for ourselves.
