1977

Suede - Trash

And very refreshing to see too. There has always been a footballer in Petrov, please let this be the release of it. When he plays well, we play "football" not "hoofball". This was the best passing game that Villa have played for quite a while. He is one of those players that gets lost in certain games, but when he has time in front of the back four and the game ahead of him he is a different player. This formation may not work against stronger teams but MON got it spot on against Bolton.

Yes of course

De Niro in the seventies and eighties made some of the most awsome movies ever made. He has since made some real toilet. Pacino also made some of the best films of the seventies and then after Scarface lost his way a bit with after awful turkey Revolution. However Pacino has without doubt made the better films of recent years. Pacino edges it for me.

What worse than "Were No Angels?"

Can't see how people think Pacino only plays one character. Manic in Dog Day Afternoon, Cold and calculated in Godfather, Nutter in Scarface, Paranoid in Serpico, Cool in Carlitos Way, Warm in Frankie and Johnny, Scene stealing in Dick Tracey, Gullible in Donny Brasco, etc,etc. Pacino is a fantastic actor who plays the stage as much as the movies. Although Pacino has made some fantastic films, De Niro best ones have been better. Godfather II and Heat obviously not included but Taxi Driver, Deerhunter, Once Upon A Time in America,Raging Bull and Goodfellas are all amazing. Therefore the best out of Pacino and De Niro is....................

Dakota - Stereophonics. Simply awsome.

Used to be positive but various things in life have turned me into a cautious moaning minnie. I think that means I might now be negative. Having said that if someone could pay off my mortgage and sort out the various health issues in my family, I think I may be all positive again.

What he said

A blast from the past - Passing Strangers by Ultravox

Just listened to Nobody Knows by 999. Forgot about the rocket at the end. Enjoyed that.

Me too Rob.

I think MON will bring in Two players

Blues 0 Villa 3 (Barry, Petrov, Carew) Half time entertainment boxing match between The General @ Gold the Pig. (A bit like Tyson v Spinks)

Bizarre. Don't know why but I have been singing this in my head for the last couple of days.

Glad to see you go - Ramones

Gabby is much more dangerous and exciting to watch when in full flow. Luke is technically a better player and instinctive finisher. But if I had to say who will become the better and more successful of the two I would say Gabby.

Five is not being optimistic or pessimistic. I think MON wants five and I think he will get five. We will probably have to wait in each and every transfer window so you had better get used to it.

Five

Fantastic stuff NV. Everyone who posts negative stuff on here should read this every morning to remind themselves how lucky we are. Fans have a right to moan if they want but should have the intelligence to see the bigger picture.

Just listened to the Pistols - Submission in the car. Once a punk always a punk

I cannot beleive some of the comments on here. You would think that we were in the Ellis era and the season started at the week end. Chill the **** out. We had let go players who MON knew would not get a game next season. We will bring in players, when the ones he wants are ready.

That made me chuckle. I think the problem lots of people are having here is this. We are "rumoured" to be after a certain player i.e. Sneijder. We then get all excited about the prospect(fair enough).We then have certain people say we are not good enough for him, followed by arguements that we are. Then when that player signs for someone else, we are up in arms why we didn't get him. Unless there is a concrete bid we will never actually know if we went for the man or not. Rumours and facts are completely different things are they not.

i think Villa should sign Richard and Jez and play them up front together. It would be a bit like Cole and Sheringham.
