Indeed, interview without coffee: "Thanks for nothing, now give me the keys and piss orf!" I just feel sorry for his kids, they're stuck with the word removed. What vile stuff. Yes, you are all so complementary about Thatcher but when it's one of your own.... Brown the liar, ruiner and stalinist control is gone and the country is reborn. The next few years will be tough but at least now there is hope. Cheers VT Oh and bring back fox hunting. Ban bingo! Cheers awol! I poured myself a nice glass of merlot just before the rocket polisher emerged from Number 10 to toast his demise. I'll toast Cameron's move into office with the word's of my heroine uttered when South Georgia was liberated. "Rejoice"! I'm actually very optimistic that we can get a fine government out of theis arrangement Would have preferred a minority Tory govenment but can live with a Tory/lib pact. After 18 months of savage con/lib cuts to public spending (never a vote winner), the Libs will finally recover their conscience, pull out of the coalition and the tories will go on to lose a confidence vote. The majority of Lib voters will register their disgust at voting Clegg and ending up with Cameron and Labour under a new leader will win the next election. Job's a good 'un.

As a Labour voter I'd be happy to see a minority Tory Government or a Tory/LD alliance. The City may want savage cuts and the public may say that they understand the need for them but I'm far from convinced that savage cuts in public spending is a vote winner. Six months ago I thought Labour would be out in the wilderness for as long as the Tories post 97. Now I don't think so.

Cameron reaching out to the Lib Dems. Have no doubt that he and Clegg would be happy to work together, not nearly so sure about the party rank and file in both parties. Can't see many Lib Dems being happy being allied to a Tory party which is proposing massive cuts in public spending and no commitment to introducing PR.

Trevor Kavanagh bleating about the inequity of the system whereby the Tories need more votes to win seats. No doubt the Sun will be advocating the introduction of PR to ensure true fairness in the voting system.

yeah good luck with that It's not a labour policy (and nor was it until around 01:30 this morning once it became apparent they were being spanked ) and it's only the libs that proposed it and based on their bad showing last night I somehow don't see them carrying as much weight as they believed they would Spanked, I don't see that really. "Call me Dave" stated the UK wanted change and he would deliver a knock out blow to Labour, if that's the Tory definition of a knock out blow then god help all of us, it's more of a limp wristed stroke of the face which kind of sums the party up as a whole I think. Labour has lost 85 seats, 6.5% of the vote and trail the popular vote by over two million. It’s a little more than a tickling. After 13 years in power, the most severe recession in decades and a leader widely criticised as being deeply unpopular - a seeming perfect storm - and still the Tories couldn't win enough seats to form a majority.

Bloody hell - just woke up and found out that Zak Goldsmith has been elected as my MP. Just hope if I have any problems it crops up during the 3 months or so he's in the country.

If they've done as bad as job over the last 13 years as many would have you believe then it makes you wonder why the Tories don't appear to have walked this election.

Had to check that we hadn't lost judging by some of the comments on here. I don't think we played nearly as bad as many have suggested. We got into a number of positions but weren't nearly clinical enough. Had our best 2 strikers taken their chances we would have won very comfortably. As it was there was only going to be one winner. Just 4 more games to win now!

This whole debate about which club out of Villa and Spurs is the biggest brings back the quote about two bald men fighting over a comb.

We have the same points as Liverpool and a similar run in but whereas we're outsiders they are one of the favourites to get 4th. Not too sure why that is bearing in mind they have hardly set the world alight away from Anfield. I would agree that there is no margin for error in the run in. As for today - pleased as punch with the result. Nothing less than a win would do and the players showed great character following last week's mauling. Now to stuff Terry's words back down his throat.

Martin Jol it should be remembered failed to achieve top 4 football when at Spurs after the club spent shed loads of cash (admittedly by whoever was the DOF at the time). Billy Davies???? I can see that appointment shifting scores of season tickets. None of the names I've seen mentioned who we could realistically attract are as good as the manager that we currently have (imo of course). I reckon he'll be still here come next season and I for one will be very happy if that's the case.

Based on our recent history I'm not sure that we can afford to be blase about getting to Wembley so I for one am looking forward to the semi am hoping to have trip there before the season's out.

Wins against Wigan and Wolves and this will be a very good point. Citeh and L'pool also drew at Stoke. Spurs at the Britannia next week so hopefully they'll do no better than us.

There were a few Utd fans in the club class above us but none amongst the main body of the villa fans. I could also see a couple of villa flags in the club class at the Utd end.

Just back from Wembley. Pre match was absolutely brilliant. It was mobbed with Villa all down the Harrow Road, everyone having a great time and not a glory hunter to be seen. As for the game. Don't think we were nearly as bad as some have suggested. From where I was stood couldn't see whether Gabby was through on goal but was amazed no one was booked for the foul that led to the pen. Dowd generally was a grade A prick - seemed determined not to book any Utd players whilst waving yellows at us with gay abandon. I thought first half was pretty even but second half Man U bossed things and thoroughly deserved their win. Lessons to be learned. Full backs have to offer an attacking outlet. Carlos is not a right back. We were much more productive after he went off. MON should play Luke and decide between Carlos and Collins at CH. Our forwards worked their socks off but don't carry enough of a goal threat. Ashley needs to be stronger when attacking full backs. Every result has gone against us this weekend but no reason for the season to come crashing to a halt. A win against Reading and we're back at Wembley. That should give us impetus for the winnable league games to come.

I'd like to know peoples opinions on this too Home shirt for me. Most people should wear claret and blue, that's our traditional colours, not white! Agreed, I really don't care what colour they are wearing on the day, as we are claret and blue. Going to look a bit silly if people all go in white as Villa support.... Seeings as ManUre fans will be doing a passable impersonation of Norwich tomorrow I wouldn't overly worry about what to wear.

Not sure that anyone is saying that there is no chance of Everton finishing above us. That said it would take a repeat of last season's collapse which I just don't see happening.

Was at Selhurst today. We obviously weren't at our best but I didn't think we were as bad as some are suggesting. As Wolves showed in the last round it's very easy to lose these games. Provided we get through no one will remember we were within a couple of minutes of going out. The Palace team and their fans were well up for the game and fair play to them. The fans created probably the best atmosphere I've experienced this season.

Why do I suspect that if we get knocked out playing a weakened team MON will get slaughtered for passing up the chance of winning the Cup. FWIW I reckon we will see several changes a la the Brighton game. Won't be easy but should be enough to beat Palace.

Completely agree. The last few weeks have been about staying in touch with our rivals which we have done. During the difficult run of fixtures I have been willing to accept the sometimes poor standard of play. Will not be so understanding if we are unable to step up a level for the games against Burnley and Sunderland.

All the mancs I know support Utd. The inferior team in any city have to peddle the 'we're the true team of the city shite' - see Citeh, Everton and the Noses - because they have nothing else to say and in every case it's total bull. As for the game reckon it'll be our current fave score of 0-0.

Will happily take a point from this one.

Just got home - hooray for games in SW London. Thought we were comfortably in chagre all game. Back 4 was immense and couldn't see Fulham scoring. Petrov, Young and Gabby also stood out for me. All in all a very good day topped off by Spuds conceding a last minute equaliser. Now just to thaw out!

My favourite away game because its the nearest PL ground to where I live and it will make a pleasant change to be home by 6. In footballing terms I've been to every game since Fulham went back to the Cottage and we haven't won one. Must be something about the air beside the river. If we are serious about a top 4 finish then we need to take 4 points from the Fulham/Spurs games. Won't be easy but then Fulham are hardly pulling up any trees at the moment. Reckon we'll sneak a 1-0 win.

Bearing in mind the games to come would have taken a point before the game so not unhappy with a draw. I suspect the Arse felt the same. Important thing is not to get cut off from our rivals during this tricky run of fixtures. Tonight was a decent start.
