Villa really don't stand a chance so far.

That is superb.

What a goal!

Can't decide who I want to win the FA cup final.

I totally disagree. Removing Pardew was essential. He was shielding Ashley. Still absolutely delighted that he's gone.

Legend.

Get in

Remi Garde with Vieira as his no.2 would be acceptable.

:lol: Come on man! He sounds very good and I'd be pleased if we get him, just don't share your heaven or hell outlook. Gourvennec vs. Carver is heaven or hell like. True.

Gourvennec seems similar to Galtier, i.e. tactically astute, very good at developing players but somewhat pragmatic. Does anybody here know how Guingamp play? They don't seem to score that many goals. EDIT: Oh.

If there's a statement it'll just be to say "we might actually kind of try to win cup games, and communicate better with fans"

Based on what? (apart from him not being Carver..) I loved him as a player, was obviously a great leader on the pitch. As a coach I think he would take some inspiration from Wenger which can't be bad.

Would be very happy with Vieira like but can't see it.

Vieira? That's a new one. Previous page. Yeah I know, not a rumour per say, just a change in odds.

The only thing about him that would interest Ashley & Charnley is that he never wins anything...

Keane rumour yesterday, Vieira today? Tomorrow it'll be Alf Inge Haaland.

Really? Fuck sake. Love him, would probably be my first choice bar none.

"The likes of Remi Garde, Christophe Galtier and Michael Laudrup, who were all considered in January, are likely to be approached" Eh, Galtier just signed a new contract, didn't he?

He categorically said in January that if he didn't get the manager's job here, he would look to be no 1 somewhere else. If as I expect, we appoint a new manager, he really should p*ss off. Otherwise what was the point in coming up with such guff in the first place? Since then he's said he's going nowhere and that if he doesn't get the head coach job the old contract will kick in.

Would be mint if we sacked him while he's on holiday.

Some ITK said he'll get the job today, apparently there was a meeting at 10.
