Hallelujah! the whingers are deserting Villa Park now maybe next season it'll be back to being full of passionate supporters who turn up and actually SUPPORT the frigging team amen brother

well wouldn't 'replace' him as such as he's only a squad player. we've now got nine first team midfielders to choose from. only 4 will play at any one time. with a further two maximum on the bench. so even now that leaves 3 per game doing **** all i doubt very much that we'll be bringing in anymore of em or replacing one if one leaves in the summer. there are other areas of the team in far greater need of boosting (IMO)

i'd say no he can have a new two year contract but not an 'improved' one. he can have one of those if he actually improves you can't say fairer than that can you ?

FFS - he isn't going anywhere! nobody wants to buy him out! so why keep going on about it ? your wasting your own lives moaning about something you can do absolutely nothing about. unless you happen to have a spare 80m lying around ? what is the point ?

so would i hardly the point though is it ? i'm sure Forest fans would love to be european champions TWICE again

Dear Drat who exactly did we sign in those years that you'd consider 'great players' ? and i don't mean in hindsight. i mean who were considered great players when we got em ?, that's what the VFC statement said and that's what i'm questioning. NO great players ever jumped through hoops to sign for us whilst Ellis was away. it's as simple as that on the otherhand if your using two years out of the last 131 to claim we haven't always been a bit average it's hard to agree. you have to look at the whole picture. and it's very, very average. no matter what anyone tells you. you'd think we were former world beaters the way some folks go on!

it'll never happen though will it ? 1. the majority of supporters (myself included) would rather be supporting the team from kick off rather than hanging around waiting for a protest whistle 2. the majority realise that nothing will change and therefore don't worry about it anymore we could be a lot better off and we could also be a lot worse off. that's the Villa for you. and you take it or leave it as my old man would say. don't let the VFC convince you that its ever been any different. i'm still waiting to hear who these great players were that would "jump through hoops" to sign for us when Ellis wasn't around the truth is, its just bullshit. unless anyone else can prove me wrong ?

the best idea would surely be to fill VP for every game between now and the end of the season. sing your hearts out, back the lads and help the team get up the table. you can't, and you never will do anything that will change the mind of an 80 year old bloke who's set in his ways. you know it, i know it and deep down we all know it. so just support what we do have. it's an old idea i know but it's one i quite like.
