Its not tactical! It must be we do it every time we are defending a lead and its madness!

I don't get it! 2 nil up and we keep inviting pressure, why don't we try an keep control the ball and posession, its much easier to defend like that than we do just clearing it upfield. KEEP THE FFFING BALL!

Dear Sir, Just finished a course at the Land Warfare Centre in Warminster, and I thought you'd be pleased to know that your "Three Block War" principle is still as current as the day you wrote it, and is still being taught today to Junior Officers, you must be a very proud and intelligent man. On another note I happened to bump into a British soldier that met you whilst he was on attachment to the Marines, he would have been a Corporal or a Sergeant back then, he asked me to say Hello from a John Coles. He said he gave you a book, sorry the name escapes me now. Anway, I'd like to ask you to pass on my thanks to Mr Lerner for all he has done for the club so far and I look forward to a bright and long future under his stewardship. I'd also like to express my admiration for all you have achieved throughout your Military career, and that the passionate and work ethic you exhibit today are a clear indication of why you excelled. Your interaction and constant communication with the fans is exemplary of the serve to lead ethos and I am absolutley stoked to have you working on our behalf. Please don't let some of the less broad minded posters get to you, the vast majority of Aston Villa fans are extremely appreciative of both yourself and Mr Lerner. Your Sincerely

I don't think Heskey was that bad tbh. But I also think Petrov has been poor at the start of this season, its almost as though last season was a blip in form and he is back to his worst. He seriously needs to start justifying his selection or it won't be Delph stepping down. I'm not saying he's shite, he's just not on form and looks as though he needs to earn his place, surely thats what competition for places is for.

Lock the thread, just more reactionary threads from childish supporters that are giving us a bad name. Do you suggest we have a poll on who starts every game and then send it to lerner? ridiculous can't wait for School to start again and cut out some of the post on here. MON is the manager and he will pick the team.

Dear General Krulak, I just wanted to let you know what a breath of fresh air your appointment has been, it gives me great faith in Randy Lerner that he has employed you as his right hand man. I just thought I'd post this interesting point as your name came up only yesterday, and I feel it is in the interests of the Villa fans to show the kind of man you are. I had just started reading the book "Flags of our Fathers" by James Bradley, this book is based around the lives of the six men photographed on Iwo Jima raising the American flag after some of the bloodiest fighting seen in WWII. James Bradley is the son of one of these six iconic figures and he describes in the first Chapter how General Charles Krulak who was then in charge of the Marine Corps, arranged for the relatives of those pictured to fly out to the Island of Iwo Jima soverign propery of Japan to see the historic sight. I think this shows how important history and tradition are to the new caretakers of this institution and although I am in no way comparing the lives of soldiers lost and the relatives of those with a football club, I think it shows that history and tradition are an intrinsic part of their forward planning. I am a second generation Villa fan, and I think the work you have done in such a short time has been truly well thought out and genuine and I will show you the utmost patience and support you need to turn the club around as you have my full confidence. All the best and may the good work continue. Regards Aaron

Only on the champions league shirt IMO

and i doubt RL's associates would travel on a company plan, probably jst get business class on a commercial airline. I'm sure if there was a fifth consortium involved, they would have by now stepped forward and revealed who they are, the AV06 did so after a few hours of a forth consortium being mentioned. What just like Abramovich doesn't send the Chelsea players and employees on his private plane. They are an assett and get used all the time.
