villa-revolution

Just to further add that it also works both ways. You're not going to like this, but FSW deliberately allowed both our full backs the freedom to roam high up the park so that Chelski could exploit the huge space behind them in the nightmare of Stamford Bridge.

Apart from getting very drunk, choosing to drive on the motorway, crashing his car and and then leaving the scene. I'd rather give him abuse about that over any of his shit performances wearing a villa shirt. Not the first time he's been cornered!

Correct CI - On a scale of 1 to 10 Heskey's hold up play was minus 50 ( Completely Off The Scale)

Hev................Here's a couple of tips for you, watch out for Gordon Jackson in Finefare's & it's not true, it isn't all at the Co-op! Also, you'll never find a nice little tea house anywhere near small heath because they haven't got any cups!

It's all about psychology tomorrow & losing one team from the survival fight. All our rivals can do nothing but await the outcome tomorrow practically knowing that the victor will be safe & in the full knowledge that a draw gives both teams an extra point. We know ourselves how frustrating it is when sitting on the sidelines & knowing the above scenario is going to give one or both of our rivals precious points.

This is a first class post & provide's great insight into the thorougness of preparation by Lambo, Karsa & the rest of the management/coaching team. The bottom line is though.............and all managers will tell you this...............it's ultimately down to the players on the pitch to bring it off!

Let's put it this way, if Alpay had been defending at Gallipoli in World War 1 in 1915 then the great war would have ended 3 years earlier than the record books show!

Good News Sikhin Trinity - Lambo want's you to check into Carrow Rd tomorrow.......................Bring your boots

Sorry Maqroll................That would lead to Scumbag Hodge demanding appearance money!

I've had a lot of fun following the Villa over the years & there once was a time many many moons ago when I would follow the Villa home & away religeously. In the seventies & early/mid 80's & in the immortal words of Danny Dyer a visit to a rival pub at an away ground really could be "pwoper Naughty" & I'm sure many of us have our own nightmare experiences instantly recountable. Fortunately the good news now though is that times have changed & many Villa fans I speak to these days regale me with tales of welcoming hospitality from trips to Newcastle where the locals are happy to entertain away fans in all the local haunts & Night Clubs in & around the Metro Centre. Believe you me that was definitely not the case when a handful of Villa fans (who bravely sneaked away from an escort of about 50) braved the Strawberry right outside St James' Park in 1977 & were only saved from a good kickin' from the welcoming committee by .PC 99 & his friendly Alsations. Coventry was also a bit tasty too, with no segregation & a pub whose name escapes me now that stood right outside the top part of the open end where fights would often kick off on it's Car Park much to the fascination & amusement of those observers safely ensconced inside the ground. And so to my point, what is the best/worst pub that you have ever visited whilst following The mighty Villa? For me, one of the worst pub experiences was at The Milestone Inn (supposed to be exactly 1 mile from The Hawthorns) in 1980- 81, ( Not sure if it still remains there today at all?) We drew 0-0. Anyway, the reason being that before the game 2 lads (Villa fans) were having an all day drinking competition here (both upto 18pts each) when one of them became extremely ill & threw up on my trousers when I & another lad we're trying to help him stand up after he had drunkenly fallen over & was lying all over the shop. The smell was horrendous & I stood in the Smethwick End absolutely reeking & constantly felt like heaving myself. My favourite Pub would have to be The Greyhound. Many of you should be familiar with it because it lies about 500 yds from Wembley Stadium & I have many happy memories of loads of Villa drinking & singing there before the Chelsea Villa Cup Final in 2000. So, cutting to the chase, where's the best away day boozer's ever for a great experience & where the natives are friendly & where are the one's to avoid like the plague for whatever reason's you so deem fit?.

'report' is a bit strong - I think we all know we could go down with 40 points - but only 3 teams in the last 10 years have. A Villa win or a wigan loss on saturday and in all probability we are safe. Youve got to remember that teams at the bottom are there because they have difficulty winning games - I doubt any teams at the bottom will win all there remaining games. "Rehearse" would be better phrase, I agree. In any case, the scenarios I played on the Predictor didn't involve Reading or QPR doing anything other than drawing the rest of their matches. I guess what I was trying to illustrate is that it was surprisingly, scarily, frustratingly easy to create Predictor scenarios where AV goes down even with a Norwich win. I wasn't making up ridiculous results. The thing is, you can also obviously use the Predictor to make positive outcomes. What is this urge, anyway, to imagine painful outcomes? I guess it's a kind of defense mechanism. If I can "imagine" AV relegated in a tragically unfair way on the Predictor, I feel weirdly inoculated against the actual possibility of that happening. Can anyone relate to this kind of craziness lol? Problem is, as you claim & I believe you, you wasn't making up ridiculous results. You can now guarantee that that is exactly what those results will be.........Totally Ridiculous. Also, not so long back I seem to remember Joe Royle winning the last 3 fixtures of the season to keep bloody Oldham in the Premier League & they were matches against Man Utd, Liverpool (When they were great) & Arsenal IIRC. Scary.....................

Okay guys, here's the deal, on further consideration I am now giving in to the mass consensus so here's the new 11. (Still 4: 4:2) Scumbag Hodge clearing in the woods Hodge greedy basket Hodge rocket polisher hodge lying toad hodge Glory hunting Bastard Hodge prick Hodge Mrs Hodge Hodge's Agent Up David Pleat's Arse Hodge Judas Hodge Manager: Jock McGinger Hodge

The bad news is we could still be facing potato head next season but not sure in which division. This relegation shit really drives you to Hull & back!

He'd play for a 9 all. To achieve this he would play Benteke up front on his own, drop Guzan & play Bannan in goal only coming out to take the corners.

I'm still brickin' it!

I totally disagree with Con 100% but I do admire & respect him for all his research. More importantly Con loves "The Villa" like we all do & that for me is the bottom line. PS - Con, if I am invited to your community can I have weetabix for breakfast, minus the peanuts ofcourse!

Can just imagine Yaya Toure shitting himself before having to face Bannan in midfield & turning to Gareth Barry & saying, "Bet they;ve had they;re weetabix!"

That team isn't worth tuppence!

Well, yes its mathematicly possible. Realistically possible? I'll suck a tramps dick if any team with 40 points goes down. Karren Brady doesn't have a dick!...............................Oh! Sorry! I forgot about Pescisolido

The son of London Bookmakers Fred Binns is a staunch Villa fan & I spent many a happy hour with him here in Brum in the early 80's. He was even fortunate enough to be on the plane with our heroes when they returned home from Rotterdam with our famous trophy. Not sure if he posts on here but he would be a great find for the rest of you guys to team up with if you can locate him? Also, I have it on good authority from the above that a Villa fan lives in whichever house it is that that finds itself nearest to Upton Park? Might be worth a knock......................As long as it doesn't belong to Alf Garnett!

I would definitely....................however, i think there will be many suitors for there services should they become available.

Swansea are the team that worry me. Since winning our cup they have been building sand castles for fun. Not sure how they view Martinez as he is the one who is credited with creating their current pass & move philosophy & set the foundations. Smell a rat here!

Problem is we've had a lot of very good keepers playing in this league. Enckleman was the worst of that lot though, and if a player is classified as a "Blues Legend", I'm afraid they've really got to be in the mix. Hodge saved by the Premier League requirements of this thread I see Yes! You are quite right about Hodge! I would have made him ball boy had he been available & placed him directly behind the goal at the Holte End so that he would have got Dogs. I would also have specially instructed him to go directly into this great stand to retrieve the ball from Bannon's corners & Heskey's shots . Scum Hodge.............Definitely the most hated Villa player of all time. Lower than a snakes arse! Fortunately, as you state, there was no Premiership formed when that clearing in the woods was takin' the piss!

After reviewing my initial selection I am now replacing Boulding with De La Cruz as, as one poster has correctly pointed out Boulding did not actually make a Premiership appearance. Plus, R Bear has also convinced me that with absolutely no goals to offer whatsoever from Balaban, in the annals of shitness he must surely now be included & therefore replaces Harewood in this shocking house of horrors. Also, to confirm & justify my original selection Lee Hendrie stays in the team. Reason being, he can't shoot, he can't dribble, he can't tackle, he can't get from box to box & he can't head the ball either. I am trying to weigh up in my mind whose most miserable performances of all these total imbeciles should be made captain & have decided that total dishonour goes to crappo Barry Bannan & this only because at least Hendrie may possibly be able to take a corner kick.............Just! So, to confirm, the team now reads: Enckelman Beye Scimeca Alpay Warnock Djemba-Djemba Hendrie Bannan © De La Cruz Heskey Balaban Manager: McGinger Bollocks I am still open to persuasion, but please, please, for Godsake tell me that there are no more. :bang:

I'm worried that your not worried!
