  1. Thank you west brom. My hot tip of norwich going down is total nonsense then. I think it just goes to show how shite the Premier League is this year if the olbion can still get a top 10 place and they have been fairly awful for about half a season. Arsenal please help us out!
  2. Like Gary Lineker without the personality. And less orange.
  3. They should have got tim lovejoy to present as well just to cap it off. Dan Walker, I mean whats the point?
  4. If Dion thinks that a red card than Shearer would have been sent off about 5 times a season.
  5. What is this Lampard this is your life? A load of shit.
  6. The MOTD coverage is just silly. Total Chelski love in from Motty with barely a mention on Villa. Grump.
  7. I dont think the extra seats could go to wigan fans as it is in all one stand- either we will have loads of space or a monster away following!
  8. I think the flapometer is reaching red is because we have seen wigan beat man city, the currrent champions of england at a neutral venue today, and also they have form on random wins at the end of the season. Its the waiting that kills you- Tuesday seems a long way ahead.
  9. Anyone else got a knot in their stomach just thinking about next week?! Trying to remain calm, I think outside of the Wigan situation, Norwich are most likely to go down. They are rubbish. WBA were unlucky last week so a draw could well happen. Man City will surely have a reaction from that steaming pile of horseshit of a peformance, and beat them at home. Thats 39 points. It sounds so easy when you write it eh?! I am off to my worry beads and relaxation chants.
  10. I wonder what the odds would have been for swansea and wigan to win the 2 cups this year? Big four my arse.
  11. City stunk the final out as bad as we did in 2000. I dont think I could put it any worse than that.Abject, awful bilge of a peformance by a multi-million pound team. Useless drivel.Mancini is a gonna after that, the players certainly dont give a flucking puck about him. I bet they beat Arsenal now.
  12. City dont really look bothered do they? Feels more like a charity shield game. I am not that confident they will do the job and clearing in the woods Norwich on the last day of the season.
  13. I can just see bloody wigan nicking a late winner midweek. You cant trust Arsenal to do the job can you? Then it will be proper brown trousers time.
  14. I think today sums up where Villa are and the season in whole. At times we play some lovely stuff with the front 3 a real handful. Then a few sloppy laspes of concentration and we threw away our lead. Obviously the Bentenke sending off changed the game. We had the goal and man advantage and were looking for the killer 2nd, when it happened. I just knew we would lose after this. I will have to look it on TV before I make my mind up on it. I thought largely the midfield was superb today esp Delph, but they need to chip in with some goals. Westwood, who I really rate, had a good chance at the end to score. It was a tame shot, and then Chelsea got the winner by fat frank who knows how to put in the onion bag. We really need Arsenal to help us out midweek or I dont think I could take the Wigan game. Our forward play suggest no way we deserve to go down, but the table shows that we are still not safe. The petrov walk was very classy by the club and I wish him well for the future.
  15. I can see him off to a championship club like leeds for about 2 million this summer.
  16. I wouldnt treat that OS ground ticket map as gospel, but it should be at least 42,000 for this one. Really we should be looking to get 40,000+ on a semi-regular basis as a club, but I guess thats a different story altogether.
  17. Probably about 15-16th with 41 points. I would say honestly thats about where we deserve to finish at present- if we can work out how to defend and keep our players, which should probably be looking for upper mid table next season. My 100th post. Spiceworld.
  18. I personally think it was the QPR game. Obviously the wins v West Ham and Reading were huge, but QPR was a massive result. It affectively put them down and gave the whole team and crowd self-belief. That game really put the fans through the ringer. Totally outplayed in the first half but yet somehow levelled before half time. Played great stuff in the second, threw the lead away, scored again, and then the 8 longest minutes of injury time. They nearly scored right at the death as well. I think it showed that when the chips are really down, the villa fans are fantastic. We had 8,000 more than the previous home game and the atmosphere was incredible, it felt like a club finding itself again. It was truly epic and our form since then has been pretty decent.What a game.
  19. Its not a suprise but does anyone else think United are behaving like prats? Why the rush? They could take about 3 weeks over this, and still have the new manager well over a month before pre season starts.Obviously they want him to leave Everton now, whereas quite rightly they want him to see out the season. All the media coverage is so skewed to United, its ridiculous.
  20. All the best stan for your future health and retirement. I hope he stays in some role for Villa in the future. His battle with his disease has been stoic and diginified, two attributes I would put to him as a player.The hairs on my neck are standing to what will be a very special day on Saturday.
  21. No its a bit of a american thing isnt it? Whoever wears it again needs to be a throughly good egg like stan though.
  22. I think it will probably be Martinez. I guess next season will see how well Moyes did at the club. If they carry on as a top 8 club, and play better football then he did quite well. If they fall apart and drop to lower mid table, then I guess Moyes has made Everton punch well above their weight. To be frank Goodison is falling apart. When I went up a few yrs ago, the steward said that the Bullens stand may struggle to get its safety certificate in a few years time. Half the ground is over 75 years old. They make barely 800k per matchday, about a quarter of Man United. Liverpool will always be bigger than them in the city, and coupled with Man City cash, they are at best the 4th biggest team in the North West. Although they havent spent huge amounts, there are a lot of ageing players on good wages. Debt is increasing and there is no new owner coming along. There appears no chance of a new ground and revedevelopment of Goodison looks tricky. This could be a interesting few years for them.
  23. Thing is I dont there will ever be a 'clean break' with Ferguson as every new manager at Mold Trafford will turn their head, look upwards, and see in massive writing 'the sir alex ferguson stand'. No pressure! Moyes better not lose to Oxford United in his first game and spend 4 seasons next winning a trophy, or he will be in trouble!
  24. On another point, the whole O'Neill-will be the next United manager- hasnt quite worked out has it?! If he stayed with us and did a good job under a smaller budget that it might have happened if they are interested in moyes, MON is the older model really.
  25. What a massive gamble if Manyew go for Moyes. He has won nothing, nowt, zero trophies in 11 seasons at Everton, and come 4th once. Obviously it was a big ask for real success at Everton in modern football but really how good is he? I guess we will find out. He has very little experience in european football and the man is 50. Moyes will not be used to the media at all. He will be going from a run down club which isnt even the biggest in Liverpool to one of the top 3 or 4 clubs in the world. I will be suprised if he is appointed as the next manager. I cant wait to see if the house of united could fall down. I doubt it, but you never know.
