http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-rumour-steve-12426526 Given that Norwich were very keen to sign McCormack last summer I actually have a slight bit of hope in this rumour. Would be great business for us and would see McCormack move along quietly forgotten about before he does any more damage to his reputation as a clinical Championship goal scorer. Brady needs a change of scenery, his work rate and ability to cross the ball are enough to justify his move. I think he'd fit in nicely. This swap does seem too good to be true however.

Paul Galvin - throw him in with Lansbury & Jedinak and we would have the beardiest manliest midfield in the league.

Looks like this will be the new sponsorship logo on the kit :/

The content is probably nothing new to most people...but still worth a read as I always enjoy hearing this sort of praise from an impartial source! http://www.whoscored.com/Articles/vdge7ovicki326h2c4dnna/Show/Player-Focus-Could-In-Demand-Grealish-Inspire-Villa-to-FA-Cup-Glory

Same team as the Liverpool game. Hopefully Richardson will be fit. N'Zogbia over Agbonlahor for me.

Everton you clowns That Shalke jersey isn't too bad though!

This Cameroon shocker would be a big hit with the players around Christmas time!

So Scholes is coming out with all this based on the location of Cleverley's house?....and neglecting the fact that his career has been revived under Sherwood and also how Cleverley said to the press after the West Ham game how happy he is at Villa, and how money isn't the main motivator but instead his happiness as a footballer is. I can't see Cleverley playing for any other club than Villa next season and I hope I'm right.

Was only wondering earlier today whatever happened to The Fonz...

Jack should play for England instead of a team who's hopes are usually placed in the hands of a 34 year old player who's well past his best and living in Beverly Hills. I dream of a successful Irish team which includes Grealish...but if I was him I'd play with England where there is a much greater potential for success and a constant inflow of talent to team. On an aside, he's going to score the winner in Wembley

I've previously done a variation of GVT with sets of 6 x 12 instead of 10 x 10....found it to be very effective for gaining mass and the workouts were so intense I was also burning a lot of calories..strength wise I didn't make huge progress though but I would still recommend it. However, currently doing a Push/Pull/Legs routine which includes heavy, medium and light weight exercises and is a 6 day split. It is without a doubt the most effective workout programme I have followed! It's such an ideal programme for maintaining, and even increasing, strength while on a cut. But the medium and light weight exercises also give a full look of mass to the muscles too with Summer on the way!

http://7500toholte.sbnation.com/2015/5/3/8539043/watch-the-moment-jack-grealish-put-everton-on-their-butts Think I'll spend my day watching this on loop.

Feel like it was the same old same old against a top 4 team. The team gave a good effort and didn't make it easy for City, but the silly mistakes led to a bad result.. Seems to happen too often where a good Villa performance is overshadowed by silly errors against a top 4 team. Promising performance all the same and Everton or West Ham will not be looking forward to visiting Villa Park.

I agree completely, I never understood his icing on the cake logic. I guess we probably won't see Gil on the pitch until the Burnley game if we're 100% safe by then!

When Sherwood talks about his "icing on the cake" players Gil is the first name that comes to mind for most of us. Surely he'll at least get in the squad for what can only be described as an "icing on the cake" cup?

At the moment I am most nervous about any injury updates from Friday's pre-match conference. Really hope Gabby is fit...I see this as the perfect game for him. Especially if Liverpool attack us from the off and we have his pace on the counter attack.

After the confusion and mixed emotions which came with the QPR result this feels great! still baffled by that refereeing performance.. great result, great day overall.. delighted Tim got one up on his old club...bring on the scousers

Hard to ignore Downings current form > I think the lads will be fired up after last week...but the Hammers are unbeaten in their last 4...and deservedly so... This isn't going to end well

We performed better than any of the last 5 games and I don't like using this excuse, but we were hard done by.. Frustrating result to say the least, but not as disheartening as the the other losses.

How is he to blame?

was expecting the ref to blow for a goal kick there!

not a red...wouldn't even get a card years ago...joke... cheers for the corner too ref

I get nervous when Cissokho is in possession..

Benteke slowly regaining form...such a relief!

The Irish Times are saying Grealish has committed to Ireland....but this statement seems to be solely based on his tweet after the Germany game?? http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/international/martin-o-neill-gets-his-man-as-jack-grealish-commits-future-to-ireland-1.1966879
