Superb midfield? You're having a laugh there. On the evidence of hte last three games, we don't have one.

Ericz Regards the regards, stop. Regards Brummie

"There's only one David Beckham" sing the crowd. Yes, and he opted for the enormous money and glam lifestyle in LA in return for sacrificing the closing years of his career, something the stupid cunt might want to think about as he sees out his career - hopefully - stuck on 99 caps.

Gareth Barry hasn't had a decent game for Villa since he got back into the England team, and he's looking rubbish tonight.

Motson loves shouting "Rooooneyyy!". I bet he wanks his little cock whilst doing so.

Who are the England subs?

I suspect Villa will line up thus: Carson Mellberg - Davies - Laursen - Bouma Routledge - Reo Coker - Barry - Young Carew - Maloney Although rumour has it Gabby may be fit. He has played Maloney off Carew before and it worked (Chelsea away), so I suspect he may try it again. This assumes Routledge is fit, if not, I suspect he might play Gardner right side midfield.

Why would KK go as far as to say the signs are that he's unhappy? What possible advantage would that have - will it not just stoke the speculation?

Bad news for you lot. Stiliyan Petrov rated doubtful for the game.

Absolutely! I have a bad feeling about this one. In fact, I'd have a bad feeling no matter who we were playing this week, we've been very poor of late.

just standing next to him should suffice, carew is bloody awful What should we station next to Viduka? Inanimate object should be sufficient. PS

Another way of looking at it is that only Arsenal, Man United and Spurs have scored more than us this season. The set pieces thing is overdone. Until a fair way into this season, Villa fans were moaning that we never score from them. We're on a bit of a run now, mind.

However much he gets, he wants to spend some of it on a fucking haircut, the big hairy gyppo.

Hangeland was all over Carew, holding and pulling. Against Carew he got away with it, as refs automatically give fouls against him, because of his sheer size, they assume it is him in the wrong. He won't get away with doing that every week.

It's typical of the media, one minute they build somebody or something up then they set about bringing them down, it's been going on for as long as I can remember, that doesn't change what they are doing now to us although it's nothing that they haven't done before to a lot of clubs/players/managers. That's the point. If it wasn't you, it'd be someone else. There's an awful lot of hours to fill on an awful lot of channels these days. What fucks me off isn't so much that, it is the obssession with talking up London clubs, like Spurs and - laughably - the famed Yo Yo club West Ham, who appear to have been promoted to a colossus of European football of late.

When Keegan got the job, there were days of fawning, blanket coverage of it, almost all of it positive. There have been a few bitchy articles of late, but I do think you're blowing it up out of proportion a little. Every club's fans think the media hates them - witness the "why are we always last on MOTD, the BBC hates us" kind of argument you get everywhere. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter, KK et al just have to do what they think they have to do to sort things out, what other people think really doesn't matter.

Fucking nowhere to be seen. 10m? Rafa's having a fucking laugh. We're just fortunate the other results went the way they did this weekend, but I kind of suspect that we (and you, as it happens) are edging towards a downwards trajectory of late.

I like Fulham, I like their fans, their ground and the feel of the club, and I want them to stay up. I just don't want us to blow a glorious chance (see results yesterday) to cement our position and gift them three points.

Bollocks. Was he suspended today? Yes. Honestly, that is the worst we've looked for fuck knows how long. If Curtis is out next week, Knight will do a decent job. Gabby has looked shit for about a month now, to be honest, so I'm not too bothered about that, but we missed Young so much today, it just isn't true. MON will give them an absolute fucking rocket after that display, that's one thing I am sure of.

We were awful, worst display in a long, long time. Thank fuck Ashley is back next week.

How's that Dawson doing for you these days?

Come on the Villa! If we don't lose today, it will complete one calendar year in which we have lost away once.

Rumour doing the rounds that Delfouneso is travelling to Fulham with the first team squad.

What a truly, utterly magnificent set of results for us. Citeh lose, Everton and Blackburn draw, West Ham lose (was watching them one game in hand and 5 pts behind), Portsmouth only get a point (could have been slightly better, that one). And then, to top it off, the Blueshite denied three points by a last minute equaliser from someone called ..... Villa!

The problem is that everyone can now. Observe the money brandished by Sunderland and Boro. Not to mention Fulham over the summer. Which is why the January window is so hard - nobody needs the money any more.
