If Delph left last week, he'd have been booed by villa fans twice next season. By leaving now, he's surely going to be hated by every set of fans in the country?! (Except Blues I guess...) The only thing I can think is that Man City have offered a huge increase on their original offer. So at first he was like "umm, y'know what, I don't really want to leave so I'll stick it out". But now - coupled with Benteke going and no takeover - the new offer is just silly money that is too much to turn down.

Don't worry, Gregg Evans doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

Hope we get him in soon cus the Clocks ticking on this transfer window.

Are you joking? Did you watch it? He looked really good. Take another look at the spelling and the post above. I think you might find it's a little fishy. Ha, I just thought he codn't spell...

Worrying, if not true...

What's the fuss? Liverpool signed a Bolton cast-off as their back-up keeper. This deal saves a big chunk of wages on someone who will barely feature....wages that can go towards someone who will improve the starting line-up. Win, win, win.

Gotta love Julie B.

Man knows his shit.

Gary Gardner tweeting about how he'd be a great signing is odd. Never normally see players commenting on transfer gossip...

Vlaar didn't play in the first leg. And we won the second leg with him 2-1.

If today is his last game, I'm very grateful for everything he's given Aston Villa. And I hope when we play against him next season, he gets a respectful response rather than the usual boos. He doesn't owe us anything, he should move on to better his own career and we should be thankful for his goals that have kept us up. Thank you Christian - now go out on a high with a hat trick in the final!

Westwood at the back with Vlaar and Baker? Bacuna and N'Zogbia wide?

To be fair, Lambert also won 2 FA Cup games in that time. (Though Sherwood - including Leicester - has won 3 of them too... )

Get Laursen and Mellberg in as defensive coaches and everyone will be happy...

CLOSE THE THREAD

Before game I said: That is such a side that someone who only watches MOTD and reads occasional newspaper articles would pick from our squad list. Gabby: he's fast. N'Zogbia: didn't he score them goals when he was at Wigan? Cleverley: he used to play for Man U. Gabby and N'Zogbia will do nothing. Westwood and Cleverley are fine and tidy - so would be better with just one of them who can keep it ticking over - but won't do anything. Which basically gives us Delph and Benteke as our only two attacking players who might do anything at all. The best we can hope for is 0-0 until 70 minutes. And then hope that two of Gil, Sinclair or Grealish come on, and then we can start playing properly. It's like we're deliberately handicapping ourselves to give the other team a chance... I'm stunned. Hahaha - I was so wrong!!

Gabby over Gil? Because it would be too obvious to pick our best technical player over someone who can't control or kick a ball...

Mildly interesting interview Seamus Brady from 4 years ago.... http://www.hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=139976

It's a fake. Text and pics don't line up. There's also a rogue line they didn't remove from underneath his name. FAAAAAAKE.

??? Edit: ignore me, found it.

I thought by worst one you meant the worst female Prime Minister, in which case the statistic still stands regardless...

When Gabby subbed off the other week (maybe Liverpool?) he gave Delph the armband.
