how could he honestly say to them with a straight face, no lads don't go to a bigger club be loyal to Villa When does that ever, ever happen in football, though? Pretty much never is the answer.

We didn't struggle this season if you judge it on the final table *wink* Young is going to Man United. Nothing is going to change that at all. To be honest, I don't want it to, either.

Fulham have played some good stuff this season. OMFG. I've started turning / changing my tune just in case already His Blackburn were vile. His teams can waste time like no others. Stop it. Please.

Incidentally, Fulham have said Hughes can't go anywhere till his notice period ends at the end of June. I don't think Lerner would go for that. Of course, waving money at Al Fayed might change it, I guess. Someone on the radio said "Mark Hughes has moonwalked out of Fulham" which made me laugh quite a lot.

Yes. I think it was two weeks or so.

I bet O'Neill goes to Fulham. In fact, I AM going to bet he goes there.

I knew (as in, from mouth of a very important horse) last summer that Lerner really rates Moyes and Hughes. This was before MON had left, even. It will be Hughes. What's in it for Moyes? He'd come here, spend lots of money and finish 6th - 8th. He can stay at Everton, not spend much, finish 6th-8th. It's not worth his hassle.

Shame. The season was pretty horrible, although we put together an excellent finish to end up ninth, but you could see some of the good work Houllier did, and hopefully it will be there to build on. MON left the club running like something from the 1980s, it really was a fucking mess, such was the short termism of his time with us, and Houllier has done some very good work to change that. It's easy to say it was a dreadful appointment etc etc, but you have to look deeper to see the real impression he left. At least this time we're looking for a manager at the best time rather than the absolute worst time as that little shit left us in August, and there are some decent candidates around.

I'd be happy to see that go through like. Weakens a rival and probably won't make an astronomical difference to Liverpool i wouldn't have thought. I didn't realise Young was still attracting those sorts of reputed fees. The 'being English' inflation really is ridiculous at times. £50m on Carroll and Young. Wut. Doesn't really worry me. The fact is - and the media keep ignoring this - he has been poor for very nearly two entire years now. Ever since that 93rd minute goal at Everton, you can count his convincing performances on one hand. I think it's best that he goes, and I'd guess that most Villa fans do, too. We still try to base our game on him far too much, and he doesn't deliver enough. I think it is one of those cases where both sides in the marriage feel it has gone stale. I feel pretty much the same way I did about Barry leaving on this, tbh. I was way, way more disappointed when Milner left.

Shit house manager, shit house owners.

Westwood is decent

When we signed Darren Bent: "Why's he going from a top six side to a struggling club?" (ignoring the fact that the top six isn't decided in January, although, in fairness, when you've been in it for about three weeks of the last 25 years, ignorance of this fact is somewhat understandable) "He's going to look a right idiot when we finish above Villa" I can't help but notice the final table shows: 1. Sunderland not troubling the top six. 2. Sunderland below Villa, despite us having a nightmare season. So, basically, bollocks.

The total cost of the Zigic deal for Birmingham is 20 million over four years. Mind boggling

Don't know why we've not put a bid in tbh. I hope you mean for Reina. But you have Gomes? No Freidel. Friedel is finished, mate. Scared shitless of coming off his line, flaps wildly when he does. Past the tipping point in his decline now. Anyone offering him a 2 year deal at age 40 wants their head examining.

Liverpool's away support these days seems to be 60 percent jester hat wearing Scandinavianss, 30 percent wide eyed Irish blokes who previously thought football only existed on television, and 5 percent people their home fans would call "wools", leaving just 5 percent to be proper Sergio Tacchini wearing scrotes.

Our best player by a mile.

Unconvincing in the extreme, Arsene.

His hair is genuinely disgraceful. I'd like to have seen Cloughie's reaction to some gigantic French vagina on legs walking into his dressing room with hair like that.

Everything which is wrong about Arsenal summed up in one blob - Chamakh and his hair "product"

Would they sell to Villa? I wouldn't say no to Johnson from Brum. If Pornodwarf was still in charge there rather than taking West Ham down, no chance, but Yeung is desperate for money. I liked Johnson too, but he's looked more than a bit iffy since Dann got injured.

I reckon they'll get Rapid Decline, Rapid Exit then Inter Administration. You've blatantly nicked that from somewhere. Every Villa forum, about ten times a day since they qualified. I appreciate the honesty. Not that I don't think you're capable of such rapier wit or anything. It's the first time I've found myself in the presence of people I could reasonably estimate not to have heard it. I had to do it.
