Really shocked by this turn of events.

You can beat this Stan, we are willing you to do so.

I'm liking the napoli away kit tonight.

Can't believe how much better the Lion looks with out the Shield.

Is there any chance of doing the Lion and the lettering in Gold?

So the sad, and seemingly difficult lesson for us to note is..... Nobody in Asia, the Middle East, Antartica or anywhere else gives a **** about Aston Villa. (apart from the collection of global miss fits and perverts that grace Villa Talk of course - and FWIW I love each and everyone of you.)

Beautifully put.

It seems we have had our fair share of difficult lessons over the last 2 seasons.

Gianluigi Lentini

Signed for AC Milan in 1992 for £13mil and was utter pants.

I'm sure his agent and Mr B were very pleased at the size of the transfer fee.

He had a serious car crash not long after signing for Milan. That was it for him really.

I remember seeing him play whilst watching channel 4 on sunday afternoons.

He really was average.

Bannan sounds like a right clearing in the woods.

*Choinks*

Lennon made him look like an pub player last night, it was embarrassing.

Very sad.

RIP Paddy.

Emma?

ITSOTP!!!

I dread to think what this stands for.

Answers on a postcard please?

Shit when the big boys nick your best players eh lads?

To be fair, we have had it for the last 3 seasons.

Dave Whelan just on Talksport (here we go again), saying that if Downing is worth 20 million Nzog is worth 25.

I doubt we are going to get him on the cheap, simply because he knows we are desperate. Why did we not get him in before allowing Downing to speak to the Scousers?

I knew this would happen. The board are so stupid it's unreal. Whelan now knows Randy has alot of money to spend and will take advantage of that.

Ellis was stubborn this lot is stupid.

Can you be a stupid lawyer/billionaire?

I've just had it on good authority that Mcleish has definitely quit over Birminghams transfer policy NOT because he was interested or tapped up by the Villa job.

Carson Yeung said to him "Wa yu wan faw playas in suma Awex?" , McLeish replied "6 defenders". Yeung came back with Marlon King. "I said 6 defenders, not sex offenders".

Thats a quality joke.

What about Gus Poyet.

Young, successful in lower league football, good player pedigree, bright, articulate.....

Not that Stan knows all the ins and out but Collymore is blurting out on Twitter right now;

Players agents will always use managerial uncertainty as a reason for stalling on a new contract.It's called expanding their options....lol

Villa will spend substantially again in the summer.Trust me.

He has just reiterated what some people have been saying with the managerial situaion.

Sounds like common sense to me, which is unsual for Stan.

not sure how that would help him secure a better contract....

if i were dj, i would be saying, i love the club. the fans love me. despite everyone looking to leave, i intend to stay loyal. i am your player of the year - build your team around me. nice big fat contract please, mr lerner...

I'm with Gingerlad on this one.

I bet his agent has had a word with him. It will make Villa work faster to sort out a more lucrative contract if they that think that Downing has hinted he may have to move on.

Tom Ross - Blues goalkeeper Colin Doyle has signed a one-year extension option keeping him at the club until the summer of 2012. Marcus Bent, Mitch McPike, Jay O'Shea, Robin Shroot, Dan Preston & Luke Rowe have all been released. Loanees Alexander Hleb, Obafemi Martins, David Bentley and Matt Derbyshire have all returned to their respective parent clubs.

I thought they bought Bentley??

'Mitch McPike'...you couldn't make it up!!

Does anyone use protein shakes to aid their training?

@Dodgyknees.

Cool.

Which ones do you use?

How do they help? More energy?

Whey protein is the obvious and also I found that soya protein is a good supplement to help recover after long sessions. I used a totally different protein shake for gym than I do running. The ones I go for are more about aiding recovery than giving me the extra energy. Sorry that isn't much help is it

Edited: If you tend to suffer heart-burn a lot then I would be careful again as some of the powders can bring heart-burn on which when running can be a pig. Luckily I don't but am just passing on the advice given to me.

Oh and if you do go the powder route, don't take it with milk, water is best IMHO.

Thanks for the info

Beautiful spot.

Many a happy summer day spent on that beach when I was a Bairn!!

Good memories.

I keep meaning to give HDR a proper go but I see so many awful results that look totally false I give up on the idea

My first attempt at a bit of HDR:

Tried not to overdo it but it's so tempting to just ramp all the settings up to maximum!

Is this Ramsey Bay, Risso? Port Lewaige to be precise??

Errrrr....Milner was quality.

The last game he played for us against West Ham was one of the best individual displays in a Villa Shirt I have seen in the last 10 years.

General.

The team today looked devoid of a game plan, they lacked spark and effort, there was no movement or passion....and to play this way when we still arent mathematically safe from relegation is an absolute scandal and I lay the blame squarely at the feet of the managent staff. Iwas willling to give GH and GM a chance this season, but I fear the worst if we persevere with their regime.

I hope you are well.

Dan.
