i don't know what it is with villa but this always happens... DOL took us 6th and then sensationally cocked it all up. when teams come to villa expecting to thump us, we can surprise them and take the points. when teams come to villa expecting a proper team, we crumble at the pressure.

GARETH BARRY IS JUDAS INCARNATE!!!! I'm glad the lying scum bag is gone. It's just a shame he's taken my passion for football with him. I can see why my dad loves golf so much, none of this BULLSHIT and heartache. **** you gareth barry. **** you and good night.

i think milner was a class buy and i'm pleased for him and for villa. but looking at the big names flying about i do hope we can land some kind of amazing striker in the next window. carew and gabby will be fine.. but i want to see more competition for places.

The only difference being that Le Tissier made that choice knowing that he would never go on to win anything. Barry at least is with a club that is making serious progress. Then surely Barry's choice is even easier?

Have we ever actually replaced Dwight Yorke?? I think not.

One names sums up this whole debate... MATT LE TISSIER Loyal to southampton to the very end. Despite lures of champions league, england shirts etc He stuck to the saints and is still unashamedly biased towards them. If Barry stays he will be a legend at VP for decades. Leave now, we will forget about you for turning your back on a fanbase that adores you.

and tottenham! great spending - poor coach. now they have a great coach (in poyet - i watched leeds ALOT and the man is a genius) and ramos knows how to throw his weight around. if u need to spend £16 million to get up into europe.. how come aston villa, who have europe on the tree in front of them ready for the taking... can't get their friggin finger out of their ulster backsides and do something about it. We should have had £20m worth of players ready to run out on 1st jan. putting villa on the map and making other teams realise we are here to fight and wont be taking for the spineless DOL/DD days. Stand up and be counted MON... your really getting on my nerves... ooooh 100th post. better have another guiness.

I'm sorry... i was a MON believer.. but no transfer this month and i'm walking to the other side... i expect a premiership manager to be a full package. The way i see it... MON took our original squad and did well with it by adding young... but who else has done really well? not anywhere near as well as expected. MON can coach. But he's mental and i really don't see him taking us into europe... if he blows this season because of a lack of a brass set in the transfer market (which is a massive part of the game with the window system) then i won't be upset to see the back of him. eeek scary words i know. but i'd rather have a big batch of players who want to play rather than 11 tired heads feeling the pressure. how do u think barry felt watching the pool game when we couldnt distribute for love nor money? wouldnt it feel better to know your a team that can win without its key players? MON --- sort it out. you know what we're like. and the thing we hate most is being lied to. you promised us players... and we're losing olly and cahil and you only have zat knight to show for it. i'm getting really fed up with your excuses MON, bamboozle randy all u want but this is a joke.

big thanks for the report. i think players like the bellons and zoltan will come to fruition when NRC takes the skippers band in a few seasons.

Randy should press MON into buying players, its what the fans want, and the fans are the most important part of a club. Where will randy and MON be if we don't turn up for a game, the lads should know its not against them, but we want to step forward. Remember when DOL took over? We came 6th then fell apart over the next two seasons. MON arrives, we come 11th... then it starts to crumble again. Another year of my life spent hanging my head at the site of the prem table... least we're a point behind united

Good signing MON, but really... a loan player? Can't really drum the villa 5 year plan into him can you. But thankfully, scott wants to be england number 1 so he's got loads of drive without our help. Easily a starter over tommy. I wont forget all those blunders that made me want to crawl up into a hole and die. thats pure tommy gold.

Martin O'Neil was seen paying for a Mars bar with a pound coin yesterday. Rumours are that he might get a couple extra quid out and think about buying some players, but its understood that Martin doesn't want to be pay "over and above" for players, but some wonder what Martin was trying to achive when he bid £12.30 for Deco, claiming he would "throw in a new pressure washer" for the deal.
