Well done lads. Keep up the good work and, some day, some of you may be able to step up to the first team like Gabby has done and break some club records of your own!

Can't have been too bad learning your trade under Laursen and Mellberg though can it?

Anyone said Benito Carbone yet?

Laursen, Nilis and Milner

For me, its the roll of a dice between Heskey, Makoun and Hutton.

I live in Thailand and to be fair, the gloryhunter attitude is alive and well over here... People support Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal (thats not counting the amount of people that follow Spanish or Italian sides)... Only difference is these people were born and raised in Thailand... They have an excuse... They weren't born in Europe... They see the football on TV and want to support a team that wins or has a kit that they like... I have seen two... at most, three Thai villa 'fans' since I have been out here last August.

I was born in Sutton Coldfield to an entire family of Villa fans and have supported them since I have ever been aware of the concept of club football. We have been battling relegation all season and have been suffering what can only be described as humiliating losses (Chelsea, Wigan, Bradford and Southampton all spring to mind). 5 years ago? We had Laursen, Mellberg, Carew et al.... Footballers that really seemed to enjoy wearing our club shirt and playing for us... but thats when RL had it in his mind that those players were affordable... Then in 2010, Paul Faulkner arrives.... and we have taken what can only be described as a nosedive of biblical proportions since... I may be wrong of course... I have been reading this forum for many, many years. I would like to know what other peoples opinions were on the subject vis-a-vis our clubs ambitions compared with the ambitions of the money makers at the top.

Whats wrong with Sam Allardyce? Tells it how it is, knows how to operate on a budget... looks uncannily like he was a walrus in a past life.... Hes got the lot!

Whats Glenn Hoddle up to these days?

From what I've read other people posting, he isn't that good as a manager. We don't just need a big named person, we need someone who can manage the team also.....Big names might attract players, but that isn't going to help us when we need to offload some who are on high wages for doing f all. Fair shout. Got to be a better shout than Bob Bradley though no?

Whats wrong with Ronald Koeman? I thought he would be a decent appointment tell truths.

excellent performance by the manager who used his head, played an established right back in the correct position and used some of those chaps who sit in that dugout thing instead of letting them sit there doing nothing... Great start to a season... and a definate improvement from being embarrassed by Wigan this time last year

Im a dnb dj based in southampton... ive supported Villa since I was a kid and hence used that as the inspiration to my stage name. I like my techy dnb, dark rollers and sinister jump up but will play whatever takes me at the time. I play on a couple of internet radio stations on headrush fm, subbassfm.com and shedbass.com.Nice to meet you jungalists
