Laughable. How come MON is aloud to spend what he likes and then not play them? Has Randy not got the right to question that? He spends a fortune pay them shit loads and then we cannot get rid. MON was given full control as he wanted and **** it up! **** it up? Improving our points total four years in a row; trips to Wembley; our highest scoring season in 30 years; our highest Premiership points total for a 38 game season; beating Blues every time we played 'em... ... given how much he spent, what did you actually expect? The Premier League title? I sincerely doubt the next chap to wear the manager's hat will please you. I hope he does... 'cos he'll have done pretty darn well. 3rd. Sky sports said after Man City and Chelsea.. Villa and Tottenham were equal 3rd in season spending. Man Utd Liverpool and Arsenal all below. (Man Utd obviously due to Ronaldo leaving) but nonetheless.. he signed him and sold him and still made the profit.

I wasnt MON's biggest fan.. however i am concerned this is all occurred due to the possible sale of Ashley Young. I know its a business and Randy is trying to keep the club afloat and cut the wage bill. It is understandable.. However, If he cannot support the club financially anymore.. he should go. Simple as that. We cannot compete any longer. We cannot just give up after the squad we have and start selling them off. Was that the 5 year plan? On to the manager, If we sign Bob Bradley or any other friend or American then the fans will lose alot of faith in Randy and the club. I feel we need a big name manager now to keep the players from leaving. Scolari Guss Hiddink.. we cannot afford to sign a manager of Bradleys stature. I am starting to see why Cleveland Brown fans are so frustrated.........

why havent we just sent him back to Blackpool to get some Premier League experience.. he wont get it at Villa.. see if he can cut the mustard.

Cant see it. Who would want him? Championship clubs? Apparantly their going to announce signing of Jo. Big difference in excitement levels right there!

only mon knows but be prepared to be shocked have there ever been any shock signings recently.. we were linked with Dunne Warnock Harewood Heskey etc well before their signed with one or two suprises (Collins Cuellar) I think Keane Ireland will definately sign. True, but this goes for everyone now. I think the last time I was truly shocked bya transfer was Mascherano and Tevez going to the Spammers. I get shocked everytime Man City someone.. whats their squad numbers at the moment.. 47?

geez even Doug Ellis gave a net spend of 4 million. I guess money is tight the last few seasons.. we need to sell to buy straight off the bat.. even though we have lots of sponsors season tickets etc....... something has to fund the stadium upgrade. Ah well.. Milner can be replaced.. we were always going to sell.. MON needs to buy players.. Flamini for 5-6 million (rumoured) .. and Milner leaving for 25 Mil. Wed get the better player IMHO.

exactly. maybe push it to 25 mil. We know they have it.

so MON is going to make changes. Right... so Gabby in for Carew?

why so negative? Stoke have a midweek game too.. theyll be more tired than us. Our players will be pumped up not to let a repeat of last season, where the downfall began.

Be nice if our strikers bothered to do anything... Gabby had a bright start and faded.. Heskey has been anonymous. We have to stop building the attacks from the defense to attack.. should be defence to the midfield and let them construct the attack.. too many times our back four lost possession. Milner and Petrov need to get back and pick up the ball like in the first 10 minutes.

de ja vu from last season.. except even more games this season.. he needs to rotate.. but he will play this same 11 in all 3 games barring injuries.

Are you actually surprised? Not really.. but im surprised i still get annoyed by it!

oh ffs. We should attack Burnley..Young at RB and Cuellar for Collins for this game. Petrov while injured? Heskey while injured and poor form? Seriously MON.

Is Petrov ruled out? according to the Premier League preview show he is. Probably good to give him a rest.. not great to keep playing him injured.. his next game should be the league cup final.

Its important Carew plays in this game.. he needs goals and getting them against a lower league opposition is not easy but easier to achieve.. might give him the confidence hes lacking at the moment. Same goes with Sidwell etc.

any news on Albrightons injury? Anyone think Osbourne may feature? as his loan as been stopped?

Hmm, not sure about that. I'm quite happy with the two England internationals up there and the youngster playing these cup games while he learns from them. Id like to see him get a run with the full team alongside Gabby..

our most natural finisher! Fonz should be first choice striker!! go Fonzi.. has he got more goals than Heskey?

I cant even get comm as im in Oz.. but i got a sky sports news video stream... their crossing for updates every now and then.. so its not too bad.

no **** balls from MON to bring on the Fonz. disgusting.. same team from midweek.. tired performance.. all woeful crossing no idea. awful.

**** the hammers.. they have got nothing. 3 at the back.. take off warnock and heskey.. Fonz and Carew to join Gabby upfront and just attack the ****.. their useless..

bye Nigel.......

3-0. We will do them.

Gabby shouldnt even be on the bench.. give him a few days off.. kid is already burning out.. hes 23 and played over 160 games.. No wonder he only turns up half the season.
