We'll buy Ben Foster, I reckon.

Don't see the problem, personally. They buy decent players, they play decent football. I'd sooner them in the top flight than the abortion which is Stoke City, for example.

Absolute carnage in the Brum end there like. Yup ha ha ha ha ha

What a hideous season, but what an utterly fucking delicious finish that was. Hasta la vista, you knuckledragging neanderthals, you won't be missed.

I've been watching football since 1974, and since then, can confirm that Liverpool are the most consistently lucky side on the planet.

He's got an exceptionally punchable face. I'd like to punch it, with my big fist.

I see your Chamakh and Nasri and raise you a Rosicky and a Arshavin. I can barely get to the fridge and back without my blood pressure going over 180/120, but I feel confident I could batter all four of those, no fucking problem.

I like Arsenal, but Christ, what a team of fucking fannies they are. Chamakh and Nasri must weigh 15 stone between them.

Smallest cheer ever from a home crowd when Arsenal scored then.

Bent is fucking brilliant.

After a season of utter, utter shiteness, from week two to today, I have a feeling next weekend could very well redeem a good part of it. Please God, please.

Damn straight.

Yep, their 9-0-1 formation can fuck right off. Incidentally, I can't watch our match. My nerves are utterly fucking shot after this season. Surely though, despite it not being a good season, the pressure is somewhat off now? Should be, but I can't take any more of it. I shake like a shitting puppy every time we kick off. I just want the summer. Maybe we'll do better without me in attendance or watching? Maybe that's it.

Giles Coren on Twitter is dropping some interesting hints about a money grabbing fat bastard playing for Man City today.

Heskey back to Leicester apparently. PLEASEGODPLEASEGODMAKEITHAPPEN

Wembley is fine, really. It's very stark and unemotional, and the middle layer kills the atmosphere, but to say it is a tip is incredibly wide of the mark.

There's no way we'll be loaning Ireland out for an entire season. Some mugs will buy him.

He'd be a good appointment. I think.

The only thing Houllier is going to be selling is his right hand drive car, as he moves back to France.

Injured for a large chunk of the season. He's looked alright, but Houllier has been playing him out of position stuck out wide a lot.

You sure about that? Speak your mind mate. I saw him on the sky website the other day, being interviewed. He looks suspiciously like he's had a hair transplant.

True, but it is a self fulfilling prophecy. In the past to enter the Big Cup, you had to win your league. One of the main reasons you and we will never win the league again - and, let's face it, unless something Man Cityish happens to us, we won't - is because of the influence of television money on football, and the subsequent financial divides between a small group of clubs and the rest, and the Champions League, with its creation of a small group of clubs which is now so entrenched it hardly ever changes, is a major factor in that. So, basically, the CL format now means you've got more of a chance of getting into Europe, but it also means you've got absolutely zero chance of winning the league, and that's the shame when you look at the bigger picture.

So, to recap, that's a no.

I'm genuinely not some nu-football fan who started watching the game because it was on the telly all the time, so don't want to sound like I'm one, with all the short termist, SUCCESS NOW traits they have - I have been going to Villa Park since 1973, and have seen in that time some fantastic times, and some truly dreadful ones, so I am under no illusions about what we did under O'Neill, but I can honestly say, I struggle to think of another Aston Villa employee who ultimately treated us as shittily as he did. And that includes Billy McFuckingNeill and Doug Ellis.
