    Barry Bannan

    in Hall of Fame

    Posted

    Anyone calling for Bannan to be left out on purely footballing grounds needs their head examined. He's easily the most naturally gifted footballer to come through the ranks in my lifetime. He always wants the ball, he's composed when he gets it and he rarely gives it away.

    I honestly think that if he was at a bigger club, or if he was English, the media would be all over him. Whatever about those halfwits it's a shame that some of his own supporters can't spot or don't appreciate technical brilliance when it's staring them in the face. Some people on here would obviously rather a midfield made up entirely of 6ft-plus, aerially dominant, box-to-box athletes.

    He's been a ray of light in an otherwise underwhelming season and while his misdeeds shouldn't be condoned (obviously), we need to get him back in the team as soon as possible.

    Please.

    Van Gaal for me, top pedigree, wont take any shit, will attract top players

    Major League asshole, though, and I think Randy prefers more cerebral, less abrasive personalities. That's why Fat Sam or Martin Jol won't get the job either. It'll be someone like Klinnsman or Rijkaard.

    Van Gaal would be quality.

    If what you say is true about Randy then I doubt Rafael Benitez would get the job as well.

    I'm sure Rafa would be as good as gold for a reasonable, straight chairman like Lerner.

    ... but not for an irrational, homosexual chairman like Hicks?

    Anyone who calls football "soccer" shouldn't work managing a team in this country.

    'Soccer' is just as legitimate a term for association football as 'football' is. It originates from an abbreviation of association, 'assoc', which mutated into 'socca' and later to 'soccer'. All of this happened many, many moons ago. The idea that the word 'soccer' is some abhorrent American bastardisation is a phallacy.

    Many English speaking countries, such as Australia, Ireland and the USA, have more than one type of 'football'. (Aussie Rules, Gaelic Football, Gridiron.) The word 'football' in these countries has always been used to describe the native sport. Therefore, the use of the word 'soccer' is necessary in order to differentiate between the different codes.

    Just because the use of a certain word is the norm in England doesn't mean that that it should be the norm for all English speaking countries.

    (P.S. I really don't want Bob Bradley to be our next manager, but for reasons more meaningful than his vocabulary.)

    The prospect of getting Martin Jol (and Ireland) is the only thing keeping my spirits up at the moment.

    Don't think Sven would be AS bad as some people seem to think, but the other names mentioned would be a massive step in the wrong direction. Curbishley? Southgate? How embarrassing would that be?

    Really hope we're singing 'Martin Jol's claret and blue army!' against Newcastle.

    'Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo,

    Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo,

    You can't get past, Martin Laursen.

    Pure Danish class, Martin Laursen.

    And they've tried, and they've tried, and they've tried, and they've tried,

    But they can't get past...'

    I. Osbourne:

    You're breaking up play, you're better than Claude Makèlèlè.

    Oh Isiah,

    I'm up to your knee,

    You're twenty foot three you're a giant'

    (To tune of "Vieira")

    'Isiah, woah-oh, Isiah, woah-oh,

    Look up and you will see,

    He's bigger than a tree,

    Isiah, woah-oh, Isiah, woah-oh...'

    My only critique of this is that surely it should be Olenjik instead of Henderson?

    You're correct of course, my apologies.

    What's wrong with Tommy?

    He's hardly made a mistake all year. Definitely won us more points than he's lost us. I'd rate him as one of the best in the league. Not as good as Cech, van der Sar or Reina but not many are.

    Anyway, I'd imagine Gordon would choose Arse over us so if they're after him we can forget about it.

    Boruc is good but I wouldn't rate him higher than Tommy.

    On the topic of singing, here's my suggestion for the clubs new anthem

    (In tune of 'Mack the Knife- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBTITHA8twI )

    Oh the Villa, had a great team,

    Back in Nineteen-eighty-two,

    We had conquered all of England,

    And all of Europe too

    Then the Villa disappeared for

    Twenty-five years without a trace,

    But now Villa have been reborn,

    The old regime's been replaced

    Under Randy and Martin O'Neill,

    The new Villa has set sail,

    No more heartbreak or frustration,

    The new Villa will prevail!

    VILLA! (clap clap clap) VILLA! (clap clap clap) etc.

    What do you reckon General? Better than the original? :D

    Don't let Luke go! He's quality I tells ya.

    Re: RM

    Don't think Milner's good enough, AY's got more potential and can play there. Depending on how much cash we have, still think SWP is worth a punt. I know everyone thinks he's sh*t because he's not doing it at Chelsea but he was top class at Manc. I reckon he'd relish playing at a smaller club where he'd be the centre of attention again.

    Milner is a better player than SWP at the moment. Plus, one is on the way up, one is on the way down.

    Fair point, but at their best who would you rather?

    SWP is on the way down because his gaffer doesn't rate/like him. I think he could do the business for us.
