Penalties with no run up = stupid.

Jesus. If this were Villa in a European semi final, and it went to penalties, I wouldn't be able to watch it. Would genuinely leave the stadium / switch the telly off.

Stopping the known hooligans won't be enough, though. On trips like that, the normally placid have a tendency to get too pissed and drawn into things. The only positive thing is that it isn't Liverpool - Man United. Can you imagine the carnage that would be?

Who cares. I just hope the hotel rooms are incredibly expensive, they can't get flights, and the coppers are nervous and heavy handed. Not really. Well, not entirely.

At least any new fans to either Newcastle or Villa can't be accused of that I know. Death to underachieving football clubs! Allah akbar!!! Oh, hang on a sec ...

I hate Man United more than anyone, but there is absolutely no doubt Liverpool have far, far more plastic gloryhunters. Death to gloryhunters. There is NO excuse for them whatsoever. They're the absolute lowest of the low.

Avram Grant = Tony Barton. I now want them to win it. I like the chap.

Come on Chelsea, I fucking hate Liverpool. I also want Steve Gerrard to get booked and miss the final (if they get through). Same for John Terry. "JT" and "Stevie G" - stick it up your cunts, you cunts.

Now that I do agree with. The Champions League makes me want to vomit, it is everything which is wrong with football. And while they're at it, they can put the UEFA Cup back to its old format, and reinstate the Cup Winners Cup. Although I also think they should go back to doing commentary from games abroad over crackly phone lines, so I'm a bit of a traditionalist.

I think on the surface it would be excellent, although it is easy for me to say this, as we already have loads of English players. However, the concentration it would create of the best English players at the top 4 is a very valid point. So I'm not sure.

Carson is shite. If you'd asked me if I'd have swapped him for Harper for the rest of the season a few months ago, I'd have had your hand off. He also doesn't want to be second fiddle anywhere, so he won't want to stay there. Weren't you during the transfer (winter) window you were hoping for a double swoop (£20m IIRC) for him and Crouch? I said I'd heard there was going to be one, not that i was hoping for it (although Crouch I would). Carson was fine till his England cock up, and since then has been woeful. Robinson style fall from grace.

I love it. I like to think Man United are the nation's second team, almost like a second England. These are certainly the games that unite the entire nation. Come on you reds!!! (obviously, what I mean is it turns my stomach, and I hope these cunts lose so we don't have to listen to another 90 minutes of this rim probing bollocks)

Surely if he was good enough to get them in the top four (at some point) when they appointed him last year, he is good enough to do so now? Shinawatra has lost the plot.

What has it got to do with being foreign. It's more the case, that they don't have a clue, what football is all about... Find me a foreign owner in the Premiership who is in touch with reality. Randy Lerner Absolutely. He has been as close to perfect as possible thus far.

It won't come out if Sven wants his contract paid up. Do you know something I don't? Standard procedure. Get your contract paid up, keep your mouth shut.

mancityfans.net? I was reading threads about Shinawatra on there this morning. That stuff about "I won't be spending big money this summer, but the summer after I will" sounds very dodgy.

Villa didn't spend £50 million on players, then again they also weren't close to relegation last season like Man City were I suppose. I certainly wouldn't say Sven's been a failure at this point but he has made some pretty big mistakes. We were actually closer. We'd finished 16th the season before, Citeh finished 14th last season.

Luke Moore is a slouching, lethargic waster.

Baggies minutes from clinching promotion. I'm happy for them, I'm in the 25 percent of Villa fans who don't hate them.

I wouldn't swap. I think Hleb's great, too, by the way, he's a quality player. I just wouldn't swap Young for him.

Hleb was brilliant at our place this year. Young is fucking mint, though. MINT, i tells ya.

English grounds in the 1980s were frequently scary. Ayresome Park I found particularly primitive and frightening on a few occasions.

I hope we do come back in for Milner. We're desperate for some right side MF strength, and given past events with him, I'm not surprised journo's are putting 2 and 2 together. Still probably groundless, though.

Did you really? That's terrible. He's the greatest footballer I ever saw play for my club, what a legend.
