There are 289 people who want ancellotti. How many supporters are there in this world and what percentage is 289 of that.

Does anybody really think that Randy is going to listen to 616 votes on this Forum.

It's an expression of preference. Not a diktat to Randy on who he should appoint. Maybe you are new to this internet thing, in which case probably worthwhile sitting back awhile and seeing how the big boys play before joining in.

Ive seen post after post demanding Houllier be removed on this site, including many on the General's thread..Yet if one post goes up that was pro Houllier and showing support, it quickly gets moved away by the moderators..

This is a one sided view which I do not share..

You are smalljob, I claim my 5 pounds.

I haven't seen any action from the mods that you prescribe is true. Utter nonsense.

GH's legacy to Villa will be the loss of Friedel, Young and Downing. When a team loses faith that they are going to progress the players leave. No different to the DOL years. But that GH was quicker.

I don't really want Rafa but I would be behind him 100% if he were appointed. My fear is that he wont have the backing of a lot of fans from the beginning primarily because he managed Liverpool recently, which is a pretty silly reason if you ask me.

My fear would be that people would back 100% an appointment that was wrong and failing and defend it at every point they could regardless of evindece contrary to their spoutings.

Most managers have the majority of the supporters backing them when they get appointed. It tends to be events that are within their (the manager) control that turns fans against them.

I hold my hands up there - a bit hyperbolic - but consider the recent history and you can see the point I'm making, I'm sure.

Hyperbolic? Or mis speak?

On those parameters, mclaren, mcleish have outperformed Villa in that timescale.

I'm not his greatest fan, but you have to consider the 'facts' that he has won more in his career than Aston Villa have in their history. We could do worse, no?

Ps. I didn't even have to mention the FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA cups, etc did I?

Are you sure about that?

On european cups, 1 each

on every other measure? FAIL

read that as cock and ball.

You'll have to excuse me for not going through the 330 page thread, but is there a reason Roy Keane isn't a consideration?

Some Premier League experience, did reasonably at Sunderland, out of the job.

Saw him on the ITV coverage last night and could be an outside bet?

Would you be happy if Harry left for Chelsea and he took over at Spurs?

Of course not, why would Villa even consider him either??

I think you're mistaking him for joey55 (the spurs poster) - though with a suggestion like that it wouldn't be hard to mistake him form trs-t.

are you sure? First, second awful difficult things to work out.

Oh it's a wind up. Sorry.

walking down the beach @ midnight

all the manure lovers and those with their hate glasses on getting shtummied.

Ah cos it's been raining and not much of a match so far.

Much more amusing is worcestershire doing a sounness and hiring the cricketing equivalent of ali dia

They can't use live ammo so it wouldn't take much to overpower them by sheer weight of numbers. Football crowds (do they gather at the stadium to watch away matches?) would make a good protest core and encourage others to stand up.

Viva Espana.

There'll be up to half a million people in that part of Barca tonight to watch the game in the bars and then let off fireworks in the square - that might be the excuse the mossod need to kick off again.

They re-occupied the square as soon as mossod had moved on. The kids aren't happy about this, it's not going to end soon. The protests are ongoing in all the main cities despite the election of a new govt - which re-affirmed the fact that the protest are about the failed system and not just one or other of the two political parties. And with youth unemployment over 40% it's not like they've got anything better to do.

Democracia Real Ya! FTW

We are not just asking for jobs. We are asking for a change in the political system.

We have no option but to vote for the two biggest parties in Spain, who are more or less the same. They are unable to solve any problem, it is just a nest of corruption.

These protests are not only about unemployment.

They are about the unfair political situation that exists in Spain.

We protest against the political situation that allows more than 100 people who are accused of corruption across the country to stand in the next elections.

Moreover, it is about the electoral law in Spain, which has a vote computing system that benefits the big political parties, leaving the small ones without any choice of achieving any success.

Sound familiar?

Here's another

with a bit more cheekiness from the men in black- any idea what the weapon is the mossad is holding @ 2:44?

Of course the bbc have a different take on what's happened in the last couple of days

they're not protesting, they're fingerpainting - how sweet.

I believe it is the same reason that the animal rights folks only throw red paint on old ladies wearing fur coats as opposed to going to the biker bars to throw red paint on people wearing leather jackets.

Nah - I don't accept that comparison. I don't believe the police are scared of one crowd and therefore only go for the other. Arresting the peaceful non-violent people puts people off attending future peaceful non-violent events, whilst letting the undercover operatives lead the non-peaceful on a frenzy of minor damage allows the police to ask for more powers to punish the peaceful with.

The mossod seem to have taken kettling and added a more interactive element to it, whilst maintaining the basics of covering up their faces and removing any numbers from their uniform.

Sell out today too, nice way to finish the season. Brilliant

Sounded like a good loud crowd as well - well done lads.

How many years have we now finished the top Midlands team - 20?

Well Done villa

errrr 8. (GT Mk II)

Helpful facts to cheer up your blose mates:

If blose had performed as well last season as they did this (39 pts), they'd have finished 14th and well clear of relegation.

If blose had performed as well this season as they did last (50 pts), they'd have finished 8th which would have been their best performance since 1956.

Yes - can we change the title back please, spudzzzz ruined this.

If spudz hadn't scored their second then blose were down on goals scored - and they'd be much more bitter over that.

bye bye blose

Blues don't realise they need a goal!

Be fair - even using all their fingers and toes they won't be able to work that one out.

Thanks Ashley - best of luck.

If wolves pull another back - blose go down on goals scored
