It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I agree. If we had more than one full back of any description at the club, I think we could have a decent season. We haven't, though.

It's more amusing for the rest of us if they focus on Spurs though. I understand that. Poor BMJ. He is so toast.

Will Setanta actually mention Villa at all at half time?

Drugs and whores? I would.

Friend of mine has £5 at 40/1 on Spurs 1 - Villa 3 and £5 on Agbonlahor to score in both halves. And she's a girl who knows nothing about football.

Spurs look good coming forward, dangerous even, but at the back, jesus, where to start?

Carson has been awesome this season, mind. Although he does look a bit like a thin Chris Moyles.

Villa fans singing "happy birthday" *snigger* this is a nailed-on draw now, mind. Oh, and there's "you're getting sacked in the morning"

Fucking get in!

How pathetic are the Spurs fans? When we had our European Cup winning team at our place against Sheff Utd last year, the atmosphere was absolutely fucking electric the whole match. This place has been like a morgue since 5 minutes in. What is wrong with them, FFS? I know they're in the shit, but really, you get all your great players paraded on the pitch before kick off, then you shut up, sit back and start grumbling.

Fucking hell, Laursinho is lethal!

They'll still win.

Ha ha ha, Robinson.

Our "performance" against Leicester last week was the worst I've seen from us in a very long time. This ref is going to send one of our players off before the night is out.

Blimey. Didn't take long for the atmosphere to go flat, did it?

still up for that Agbonlahor-Milner swap? Depends which Agbonlahor I'd be swapping. The one who fished that ball out of the air after a 70 yard punt and scored, or the one who alternates between loping around doing nothing on the wing and running around like a headless chicken.

Only scrap of hope is that Gabby is playing in position for a change.

We can't score at the moment, and why the fuck he has let Cahill go on loan and picks that twat Knight every week I know not.

That bloke doing the PA at the ground sounds like Charlie Slater off of Eastenders.

We're going to lose this game. Incidentally, I think it took Setanta about 45 minutes to actually mention Villa. Just had a text from my mate. Most of the official coaches are currently sat on the M25 thanks to that accident.

Very good point, Plus every season there is normally a team who starts very well but then hits a bad run of games, Remember Charlton 2 seasons ago? I remember people raving about Murphy and tipping Charlton for a top 4 finish, Last season Pompey started off well but after their purple patch they were back to their old ways Us last year. 13 or so matches unbeaten, then meltdown, then 10 matches unbeaten.

Sven has bought in a load of expensive foreign players at City, and they're doing well, instant results. However - and this is a cliche, but it is true - it is all very well them coming in to a new club at the start of the season, shirt sleeve weather, decent pitches, but let's see how they're doing at the Reebok or Middlesbrough in December, when it is colder than a witch's tit, pissing it down, or the pitch is rock hard.

Well responding to your question leaves me nicely open for a torrent of abuse but that appeals and is good for further debate so.........given that I think Allardyce is just not cutting the mustard......................and Wenger and Ferguson are not realistic targets.......2 year contract........Mark Hughes...... And why would Mark Hughes, or for that matter any manager whose career is quite clearly on the up, want to join a club which had appointed one of the most respected managers in the league then sacked him after 7 games? What kind of message do you think that would send? Absolutely remarkable some of the comments here, really.

I'm so glad I'm in my (very) late 30s and thus had a good spell before football became about a handful of clubs monopolising everything.
