nycVILLA

some people really do spout a lot of pure rubbish. Hopefully RL will do the right thing for his investment, employ a good candidate, but if no one is stronger than Ronald, then give it to Macca on a rolling 12 months . If someone great comes up, grab them.

but Macca with Sven as director of football works for me.

Those of you spouting piss about KM, have you ever heard of loyalty?

This man has been with us 16 years, the players like him, he knows Villa and knows the game, we are really lucky to have him and he will continue to have my full support.

If we get someone else, I'll support them too.

Why would he say he wants the job to anyone but RL? if he tells the world he wants the job, and doesn't get it, the first thing the new manager does is let him go, he is playing it smart.

Please stop undermining the club and team, your helping no one!

Up the Villa!

don't you think him playing deeper will stop the hoof balls? when an attack breaks down he would be a great option , spraying the ball all over the field. We have a great attack, but we are limited in how they themselves are supplied. we proved yesterday the defence knows what to do, reverse the roles and put NRC up to break down play early.

Stop thinking football, its about $$$$. therefore Bradley is nailed on, think about it, the whole of the US would be watching us, well for a week at least. Sorry guys, but lets face it, good football or not, its all about the money!

Not that he will be, but I would like Bob Bradley, has the tactical smarts, not some big time charlie, look at what he has done with the US team considering the squad he has. I won't be as excited as when we got MON but of the names being banded around, he is my pick (if we keep the current backroom staff) he will create a solid Team.

I think Villa should go Balls Out to win the Europa Cup, 6th and Semi's translates to nothing!

We need some silverware, and the Europa Cup is the best one to attract players.

Villa is going stagnant, we need to pump some energy into the fringes of club.

History does matter....

I think I read an article a few weeks back where an ex manager (I forget who) said that Cole was too injury prone to go to the world cup... So why would we buy him.

I'm 100% for and inventive (Keane) forward next to Gabby. Brains and speed upfront with a big man as another option.

That was horrid to watch, Defense was great, midfield tried to put out fires all game, but next to no forward momentum.

It was like that was the team tactics though. Milner put in plenty of effort but we need a Midfield that takes control of a games like that.

I just don't understand Petrov's function.

5th but much the same as last season, we will shock everyone in the beginning, then run out of steam. But I can't wait for the end of the New Year Transfer window signings!!!

Can you imagine the buzz of signing you pro forms in front of the Holte.... i now have a new dream (for my children), before it was to score at the North Stand, run the length of the pitch and then charge up the middle of the Old Holte...

Mods please don't delete this because I'm not asking a question, but this is such a wonderful idea it has to be seconded!

I need all the rumors i can get, the more the better, as for being Professional, NO! I love reading pages and pages of crap links with players i have never heard of.

So, i would be greatful if someone would create a...... A Russon link from St Thomas's the next Shaun Teale or maybe a Totti story!

I just can't wait for the first signing.... fingers crossed for Bellamy and Reo Coker.

isgill88--- the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fONyDesdPKc link is great.. in another clip someone translates what there singing!!!! if we had a song like That!!!

"OOOOOOOOOOOO PAOKara(=great PAOK)

I have madness in my brains

Where ever you are playing, I will be following

I will die for you, and I live only for you

OOOOOOO PAOKara"

Well done! great clip! no idea how to steal that for Villa and keep the meaning.

like i explained.... fowler can teach our young strikers a thing or two... I'm not say bring him in as our first team 9, but as a squad player.

The man has scored enough goals against us...!

Owen would be a Dream! but i don't think the man will do the dirty on Newcastle, unless there is more than we know going on up there. just imagine Micheal Owen in a Villa shirt........ Can't.....

Fowler for a season, he could teach Moore, Gabby and Young a few things.

I think Fowler would be a great signing.

Davis for a Season Loan to Fulham... not sold !!!! he will be back...

Hughes will be sold i think.

Defoe and Bent.... why do we have to have only one?

We can have a front rotation of 5.

That, that is why we will be Champs in 3 years, MAX!

Up the Villa!

General,

I Lived in Haiti (Poorest country in the Northern Hemisphere) for a couple of years, they love football down there.

There is no money to be made down there, but it has many dedicated fans and players that can't afford socks never mind boots, is there anything in the longer term that Villa could do to help these football people?

I don't have a solid suggestion, other than sending a young coach for workshops and Villa putting there name behind a old Football Kit Donation to Haiti and put it all in a 40ft container and sent it down there, it can only improve our reputation. don't forget Dwight Yorke came from the Islands...

I like the sound of Tevez - Cisse - Geremi -Boruc - Reo Coker - Lucas Neill

General,

I sat watching the draft this weekend, Brady Quinn seems like our Ian Taylor, the photo of him in a Browns kit aged 4 was great.

But your third pick.... The Nutter! does that mean Randy doesn't mind players with a couple of screws lose as long as the do their Real Job? in other words is Craig Bellamy coming in the summer?

Oh and General, have you had Cod and Chips from the Chippy next to Witton Station yet? its a heart attack in a bag... but my god, its great! (not on Match Days)

CBGB---- Your dead right!!! i love your point, but i have to see it happen before i really believe.

Then... if the good enough, there good enough no matter what team they come from!! but they have to be available...

We as Villa fans can see whats going on, but you can't expect the rest of the none believers to follow just yet.. I just wish i knew who MON was really looking at... i can't wait to see our squad on the first match of next season.

Reo Coker, Tevez and Lucas Neil.... that would be a lovely visit to Hammers supermarket!

Mum can we stop off in Sheffield's and pick up a Jagielka on the way home?

Ohh and Santa... can i have the Premiership for Christmas?

General,

I had a conversation with a Browns Fan from PA, he loves "Soccer", so it took me less that a min to start raving about the Mighty Lions, I asked if Villa was his "Premier League" team, being a Browns fan... he had no idea of the link between Browns and Villa... I'm assuming there is a corporate link, but thats only an assumption. Is there a legal tie between the two clubs, or is it a case of same guy owns two companies?

Are season ticket holders of the Browns going to get a Discounted Tickets at VP or the flip?

So do WE have a link, and if so are you holding off telling the Browns fans? (Or did this guy just miss it?)

Cheers!
