super centre-back partnership..clarke can be reckless at times as we know but he's showing more and more confidence with each game and should be a permanent fixture in my opinion..leave dunnne on the bench!!!

so happy to see 90mins of attacking football from villa! couldnt believe my eyes! lets hope this is only the start of things and its not just a fluke like stamford bridge last year!

cant remember the last time there was a buzz like that at the end of the match in villa park! and for the first time since MON we asked the manager for a wave!

Lambert's plans are looking to be paying off...didn't know how to feel at the time of all these brave signings but I'm a lot more confident about them now!

Scared I'm getting over-excited though..keep it up guys...UTV

stupid tackle, given always had it. lucky to still have 11 men... arsenal looking very threatening... i am now shitting bricks

great pass by warnock to find van persie

wouldve loved to have albrighton fit...but this is the best team we could possibly field...feeling even more optimistic now! UTV

yup van persies playing

Wenger said today his main focus is the league...hopefully that will mean he'll be resting their one big player RVP... My biggest fear is young Oxdale-Chamberlain...he's really impressed me when iI've seen him of late.. I honestly think we could win this one after the huge morale boost of last weeks win in Molineux...

The most frustrating thing of all is that we have some decent players who are capable of giving the big teams a battle, but it seems AM has got rid of the players desire to win. Last night we were an embarrassment, no flare about us, no passion, just a few lifeless players moping around the pitch.

And I'm not even going to get started on the ridiculous team selection.........

albrighton, n'zogbia, gabby, and bannan are all decent wingers... but instead the plonker put hutton and heskey on the wings??? so frustrating, such negative football

A lot of people are changing their minds about AM already...good to see...we'll have to accept him for the sake of our club.

If he's a success it'll piss of the bluenoses big time

I just had a really horrible thought. Imagine if Moyes left Everton and we got all excited thinking he was coming to us. Then he ends up going to Chelsea...

why did you have to say that!!!

ya randys plane arrived just over an hour ago....

While I still believe that it won't be McLeish I think everyones overreacting.. He got relegated twice because he was managing a shit team. They were impressive in 09/10 and again for about half of 10/11... We cannot argue that he wasn't a success at Rangers and again when he managed Scotland. He won 7 out of 10 games with a very very very average international team. While I feel we definitely can do better..I wouldn't be too disheartened if we do get Mcleish. Who knows what he can do with us...we're completely different from SHA and play completely different football and I think Mcleish understands this and wouldn't implement the negative football that was played by the bluenoses the last 2 seasons. And if Mcleish did happen to succeed at VP I would get great pleasure out of rubbing it in the face of every Bluenose..

However saying all this I don't think it will be Mcleish so i don't know why i even bothered writing all that.

Anybody have a link to the comment on FB??

I refuse to believe it

anyone have any idea of lerners whereabouts? was he on the plane when it left at 5?!

**** Corsica. **** Radio City. **** Sky Bet. Too much speculation, not enough proper information. Can't stay on this anymore I have to go to sleep and stop getting excited over nothing!

Hope to God Lerner is flying in tomorrow and we'll be given some solid facts.

I understand that Mr Lerner will be back in Birmingham tomorrow morning.

Where's he flying in from?

That is as far as I go. Nothing cryptic, but it's not relevant.

legend! tomorrow could be huge!

Don't really understand how Moyes' odds have been slashed so much in the last few hours.. Theres nothing to suggest he's coming to VP. Or is there something we don't know about?! I really hope so....but seriously doubt it.

So SSN say McLeish is on holiday in Corsica...just remind me, where did Randy's plane go last week..?? Hmm...

what??

Really? Please no!

PLEASE say this is a sick joke

Side issue.... rumour Arteta is off to Valencia

not a bad thing for us... moyes wont be happy to see his star player going...could edge him towards a move from the toffees to villa park

Hmm, I can just see Moyes' thought process:

"Sod this, I'm going to Villa; I'm sick of managing a club that sells it's best play... shit".

haha well said! despite ashley young being gone we'll still have two very good wingers in downing and albrighton and an extra £20 million!

if Rijkaard is actually interested it's a no brainer! I'm having trouble believing the one report I have read about Rijkaard being interested in coming! But if he is interested I'd pick him over anyone..even Moyes

Sure going to Villa would be a sideways step for Moyes, nobody in the world is denying that.

However, that is not important at all anymore. Because the top clubs are never going to give him

a job so we can leave that out of the question. The difference with Villa and Everton is of course that he will

have money and new opportunities. He has reached the optimum level at Everton and the squad is slowly declining in ability

without him being able to buy new players. Perhaps not a big reason to change a comfortable life situation, but you never know.

great point.. I feel that moyes would definitely be interested in coming to Villa despite what some people are saying.. However, it might be too good to be sure and we're probably all getting our hopes up
