"Not Alan **** Curbishley, as some tit said on another thread." Dear God No.

I never thought the day would come when I would think it would be in the best interests of Aston Villa Football Club that Martin should leave the club. However, we have been preforming badly since the end of last February but he has not been able to turn it around. Over that time there has been a catalogue of poor decisions with team selection and I'm sorry to say I don't see a magic wand that will fix all the problems that has been slowly, but surely building up. It's as if Martin is working with a blue print from the 70's in terms of tactics, man motivation and insisting on running the club his way only. Sounds a bit like Brian Clough? well yes it does and also in my opinion, I believe Martin is now fighting for his professional reputation to remain as a top manager. The thing is how long will it take to turn it around and more importantly can he do it?.......I sincerely hope so but sadly, I fear the worst.

They are the biggest cheats in Europe. Well done lads.

any link to see it?......thanks

What a hypocrite. Clearly it runs right through the club from the boardroom downwards. Was this this not the fat, ugly pig who danced a jig on our pitch when they scored a late goal a couple of seasons ago. Just like the old day's, i can feel my blood starting to boil and it's only Friday night

Sorry General, but i entirely agree with the above comment regarding the press conference.

We are going to the last reserves game against Chelsea on Mon, 16th April at Aldershot (kick off 7pm) . Anyone else going ?

I don't think Keane is worth £8m, yet alone the offer of Angel as well.

Away kit : Round badge on 82 white european cup final style shirt/kit ? Home kit : Current, traditional square badge on a claret shirt with blue sleeves . As always, many thanks for keeping us informed .

Hi General, With regards to the Pre-season tour in America, are there plans to pay a deposit first for the the trip with the outstanding balance to be paid before the departure ? I only ask because i really want to go and i don't think it will be cheap. I also have to pay for my wife and children's holiday this year so you can see where i'm coming from !

Hi General, As American business men are well known to be rather competitive, do you think the Liverpool take-0ver will be good for Aston Villa in the long-term ? I mean this in the sense of the chairmen of each club trying to go that extra mile to be top dog, American owner in the UK. Personally, i think that in the future, there could well be a battle of ego's at Liverpool between the 2 new owners there, but of course i do not wish to draw you on that potential issue ! That makes me greatful that Randy is the sole owner of our great, football club. Carry on with the great work, us older fans have known a lot of heartache over the years and the new optimism from the club and yourself, really puts a spring in my step ! Kind Regards, Derek.

General, As always, many thanks for your contact and answers on this site, indeed any Villa site ! The transparency shown from yourself to talk about Villa matters is so refreshing and something Villa fans need to get use to. If we do tour in America next year, then count me in, i have enjoyed some fantastic times over there and i just need the slightest excuse to visit again so please continue your good work with the information you pass on to us all and i hope to see you in the USA next year ! Up The Villa, Derek.

What about De Niro ( and all the rest of the cast) in Once upon a time in America ? My favourite gangster film

I have been thinking that as well Richard, after all, he can't take it with him when his time is up. Mind you, he could have invested in Cryogenics in order to take over again in the future. On reflection, what a frightening thought !

Viva Las Aston...don't sound right does it :winkold:
