Sadly those ^^^ are mock ups and not our new kits, but I wish they were. I would kill for that away kit.

Thanks for making my point. They paid it, he was worth it (to the selling club).

He's worth what someone will pay for him. I personally don't think any footballer is worth more than a set of tracksuits and a few match balls, but that's not the way these things work.

The fact that it clearly isn't, as evidenced by Man City's opening bid, tells you everything you need to know about how wrong you are.

If they want him, they'll get him. Unfortunately. I know. Which is why football is so massively fucked. You try to build something, then some vile, lottery winning, arriviste blaggards come and fuck everything up by preying on human greed.

Good to see Man City being as classy as ever already this transfer window. 20m? That's a joke. We paid 12 for him two years ago, and he's improved by far more than 8m pounds worth.

Here's a nice story, like something from an old skool football comic. Every year we play in the Hong Kong 7s tournament (and we seem to win it most years, too). This year, we got out there and had an injury crisis. Word went out amongst spectators (I kid you not) for someone who could play a bit and fancied a couple of games. In the end a 23 year old Brit (QPR fan, mind) who happens to work in HK but had never played football beyond "village team" level got the call, and ended up playing for Aston Villa against teams like Ajax, Rangers, West Ham and Sunderland We won it, and there he is third from left, unexpectedly waving a trophy around with professional footballers, two of whom have played in the PL this season, and one of whom has scored in it (and in the UEFA Cup). Nice story. I'm assuming the small child at the front was the mascot, before any witty scampster weighs in with that one ;-) GG may recognise the youth with his hands on the mascot's shoulders. Harry Forrester, I thought he had disappeared. http://www.avfc.co.uk/javaImages/2e/51/0,,10265~8802606,00.jpg

Poor Gareth. *world's tiniest, salty tear*

Cattermole and Cana are two of the dirtiest cunts I've ever seen play.

Fulop really should have done better there. I can't watch this. Too nerve wracking.

Yeah. I'm not in the "OMG report him to the police, it's shocking" camp by any stretch of the imagination, but he absolutely lost it. Was doing that continental hand-on-arm, arm-pulled-back thing at us as well. Oh, and before the penalty was trying to kick up the penalty spot (after he'd removed his stupid fat cunt boatrace from the referee's face).

I love Mourinho. That is all.

That sounds like Tony Daley.

Harsh innit? Ha ha ha ha.

On that performance, you will only be a midtable team next season. Thought Birmingham should have won by at least 2 goals. On the performances where we beat Man U at Old Trafford, and beat Chelsea, we're going to win the league next year. Hurrah!

We barely deserved a draw from that, let alone a win. The Dogshit played very well. Harsh. Ha ha. Tough shit, you neanderthal wankers. Six in a row! PS drink has been taken.

He was far better last season than he has been this season. Based on what I've seen of Villa anyway. He's got no business being at Barca. I'd take the likes of Pienaar and Modric over him any day of the week. He's been mediocre since that day he scored in the last minute against you, and MON told him he was a genius. He's nowhere near good enough for Barcelona.

Hull were terrible for the first 15 mins, then started playing it around nicely without (bar one chance) getting even near scoring, then when we scored the second, they absolutely capitulated and stopped even trying to score.

^^^ despite having put in about two convincing performances in the last 3 months.

Assuming Hull don't score twice in the next 60 seconds, if Arsenal beat Man City and Man U beat Spurs this weekend, then we beat the dogshit on Sunday, then that puts us above Man City and on the same points as Spurs. Man City have to play Spurs, and we have to go to Man City, which makes it more interesting. Against all rightful thinking, we may actually have a chance of fourth.

I want Barcelona to win the CL, as I hope it will in some way help them to start to get over their defeat to Aston Villa in the 1983 European Super Cup, where Sid Cowans and Lord Gary Shaw took them apart in the second leg. The only bit of that match i remember with any clarity is Cowans scoring the penalty and the Barca keeper getting up and kicking Cowans into the back of the net (he was retrieving the ball at the time, not from the penalty spot or anything - that would have been quite something).

Funny how Liverpool fans aren't "arrogant" for expecting automatic champs league place, and cups every year (still not enough) and we ARE for expecting to be in the Prem with 50,000 gates ! I agree wholeheartedly. Love to see Liverpool miss out and hear the screams of condemnation, and demands they should be allowed in anyways because they are Liverpool. Even if it means Villa getting in. I couldn't believe it when i heard Villa fans - many of them anyways - were furious at O'Neill and want someone else (they seem to have slunk back in the shadows recently with the disbelief from other clubs fans) You'd have a better chance of understanding it if you went to our matches, week in, week out. Even so - you are quite high, and one final and a semi. Disappointment, yes. At first when I read about it, i thought "Nah. The rags a testing their spite out on Villa fans in preperation for next year with us !" But then several calls on the radio, half were furiously defending the anti-O'Neill view, and half trying to explain it was only a "tiny minority" (wish I had a penny for hearing THAT in all walks of life !!!) but even among Villa fans seem to be divided on the subject, don't they ? But who could Villa get who'd do as well, never mind better ? Or - just thought. Do you think he may be thinking theres a chance of the Liverpool job next season ? And prepare the ground so to speak ? Look at it from my point of view. I'm a season ticket holder, don't get the chance to go to away matches any more, but here's our home record for the last two years. This season: W7 D8 L2 Last season: W7 D9 L3 Last year we only scored 27 goals at home, this season we've scored 28 so far, but 10 came in matches against Burnley and Bolton, leaving just 18 for all the other matches. Whereas we do quite well away from home, we really struggle to break down teams who come to defend, and that was the case for the entirety of last season, too. I know finishing 6th or thereabouts again is good, but you can't look at it in isolation, it is too easy to say "what are they moaning about", but when you're forking out the best part of 600 quid a year and not getting much entertainment, it's not surprising people grumble. He's an infuriating manager. So good in so many ways, but in other ways a bit stuck in the past.
