Yes they know they gave him too much rope and it won't happen again ! Also whilst not privvy obviously to the exact details the contracts we are offering the likes of Hogg / Bannan / Clarke and Herd / Lichah are far more keeping with their progress and the current climate . To think NRC is looking for 50k a week which is at least 12 times what Hogg is probably on makes you think a bit clearer how things have spiralled out of control from average players demanding ridiculous weekly wages everywhere not just Villa ! The whole thing will come tumbling down for a lot of these so so players though . What would be interesting to know is who was responsible for these contracts? Randy or MON? Did MON just say get them signed whatever. Or did he personally decide their wage?

General, Is the North stand still being re-developed? Is there a time frame for this if so when, or does it depend on performance on the pitch?

If he is fit.

Not as easy as you'd think imo. We're at least stronger than when it was originally due to be played, so perhaps a blessing in disguise. Depends which Wigan turn up too. Sometimes they are truly dire, others not bad at all.

You want him sacked now. Wouldn't that do more harm than good?

Indeed, some issues were his others not. Was always worth giving him a go when some players back and some of his own in, Randy seems to agree. If we continue to improve it was worth the gamble.

2 draws and a win against Utd, Chelsea and City aint bad i suppose. Yet some truly awful performances as well mixed in. I'm glad Randy could see that it was not all Houlliers fault and given him time.

Chuffed to bits. Bent touching the ball 23 times and only once in their area

Clarke needs to raining his diving in booked a lot this season. What is it with left backs and diving in?

COME ON VILLA!!!!! Lets keep it up..

Still a tough game even with our signings. Hopefully a debut goal but think we'll lose

Stoke City have bid £4m for Cameron Jerome. They might as well have wanked that up the wall now.

Just quoted this for when its not a flop, not a chance!

Nothing is happening on SSN guys, they chatting shit as usual.

Some folk should take note.

To be fair they pulled out of the deal, probably because he wanted shit loads. Official club photographer arrived at BMH apparently according to SSN.

He said that to this question That's nice to hear from Gabby. Gabby doesn't have a Twitter.

Still all whispers and rumours imo. Something this big as i said before, Villa could **** up.

Are you surprised, Collymore is using Twitter well and the fact he is a Villa fan to generate listeners. 90% of his Tweets are about how you should listen to him on Talksport. Oh Stanley Victor.

Still think this might go tits up, i cannot help it Villa screw things up so often Hopefully come through. People asking why leaving, well fans racially abusing his mother and he gets his car wrecked when he spends time in Newcastle so the guy cannot win.

Eh
