Anybody just got the feeling that this a good signing? I have and I agree it does feel like a Merson. He doesn't need legs when we have runners all around him. In fact I'd rather he split opposition defences with a bit of skill or a pass rather than running into trouble. We've been crying out for a number 10 since the MON era. Welcome Joe

Kit release is on my Summer agenda of things to look forward to. It wasn't so long ago we were contemplating looking forward to an impending relegation and the associating negativity. Thanks be to McGrath it's premier league patches on the arms this year!

It's not even June yet. Patience is a virtue

I would just like some closure and knowledge of where we are going....

It's got to be Martin Jol for me!

Hello fellow villans, have been reading but not posting for a while but saw this and felt compelled to post! http://tinyurl.com/44p2sc3 News relating to Hughes and his contract. Apologies if its been posted already!

I'm sorry but Ashley Young is horribly overrated.

youuuuuuu beauty. Even better that Sidwell got nowhere near him!

Last ten we resorted to hoofball again, why can we just not stick to passing and kill the game off! Happy with the 3 points!

At last the holy trinity is complete. Young, Agbonlahor and Bent. The stuff defenders nightmares are made of!

I havn't been this excited since Dion signed!

This has got to be the Milner money in action surely?

Anyone else ridiculously excited about this team? --------------Friedel---------------- Walker---Dunne--Clarke---Warnock --------------NRC--------------------- Albrighton-Makoun------Young----- --------Agbonlahor--Bent----------- UTV!!

5 minutes for us to win! UTV

When you're going through hell, keep going. One goal and we're level with Spurs! Up the Villa, Up the table!

I've just installed the game and Villa have no money at all with the patch - is this right?

Could someone post screenshots of Ireland, downing, young, heskey, Carew and agbonlahor? Help brighten up my day!

How big is the fonz by the way?! I've just seen a picture of him standing behind heskey on the bbc and he's a good two inches taller than emile, who is supposed to be 6ft2??!?

Where's Glaston my lord? Where's Glaston?

In short, I don't think there was anyone better available.

I think this is a shrewd appointment by the board, one which I'm warming to. Does he have premiership experience? check Did he win trophies during said premiership experience? check Does he have continental experience of winning? check Is he widely respected within the game? check I also think he's probably learnt from his mistakes in the transfer market, but as many have said for every Salif Diao you have a Dietmar Hamman, also it's easy to forget that the whole Liverpool team when he took the reigns needed rebuilding, we're different we're two or three players short of ruffling a few feathers in the top four, and hopefully Gerard can unearth these. I'm looking forward to what the future holds.

Again, I don't think this is fair and it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. When he was younger I'd say you'd have a point, but since Harry as been at the club he's played 14 Prem games without Woodgate or King and we've only conceded 10 goals. That's a fantastic defensive record and he's key to it. He definitely doesn't need anyone minding him anymore and he can't do much more than prove that in the Prem, which he has. It's as if people are determined to find fault in him or different ways to explain our defensive record without crediting him. He's defnitely got mistakes in him and as others have said clearly isn't good when defenders get in behind him. But he's obviously doing enough right to mean that he's major asset and big reason why we've got a decent defence. Maybe it's time people start looking at what it is he does so well that makes him a good defender. It's easy to point to the times he's made mistakes, but this ignores the things like when he makes so many last ditch blocks, clearing headers, early tackles and interceptions, that he's worth the odd mistake, to the point that our defence condedes less with him than without him and last season he had a better goals against record than any of your main defenders. I'm not being antagonistic by comparing him to your defenders, but think it needs to be pointed out that despite the shit he gets, when he plays, we concede less than you and that's with or without Woodagate and King. I do understand the criticism as you aren't Spurs fans and therefore wont watch our games that closely and thus when Dawson makes an error it gets highlighted on MOTD and so it seems like he's a liability. But that doesn't tell the true story. It ignores the numerous times every game Daws cuts out trouble early so it doesn't even make the highlights on MOTD. No matter how hard you try and cover up for him, he's always going to be error prone as shown by his performance in the England friendly where he went missing. Dawson was obviously instrumental in your clean sheet against Wigan.....oh wait.

The keyboard warriors live on, going from strength to strength, their conviction grows with every word they type!

Sometimes having someone without emotional ties to a club can bring a fresh point of view. I'd be happy to see PT come in, he wont take the job unless he wants to be involved in running a successful club IMO.

What's the deal with GH then MM? is he bringing PT?
