"I don't think it's working with Ireland in there" I hope by "in there" Pleat is referring to the shirt.

Delf on for Hogg. Cuellar on for Warnock. Carew on for Ireland. WARNOCK IS A **** JOKE

Agreed.

I hope newcastle fans are watching this. This is what they have to look forward to. Getting smacked off the park because your team has NO CLUE. 11 new players in january please.

Is stephen ireland a footballer? I'm yet to see any football from him.

We are stuck in the **** dark ages.

4-0 Liverpool. Brad Friedel to slap at another 2 goals. Warnock to give a penalty away. For **** sake.... there's the second....

GH needs to stop playing Friedel. He needs to be benched, this record of his is retarded. He fumbles and flaps and I am sick to death of an opponent goal followed by a shot of a baffled friedel who just shrugs.

chill out guys. GH knows what we need, he'll get us a bargain over january. all those french contacts... oooo we could be mini arsenal... ooooo tasty

"There is no point arguing, there is no point in commenting about it, it will not change the result." I find this very refreshing.

haha are all your posts this dramatic?

and thank you sky sports for keeping phil thompson away. will Houffy {i'm trying it out} trade Carew as soon as 1st Jan comes around?

I'd wager most premiership managers in the UK today could manage to do well i the French league. I don't expect the reverse is true. Theres some severe claret and blue specs on tonight on this board. Honestly, speak to neutrals, most I'm talking to are pissing themselves laughing at this appointment. What happened to get behind your club? We've appointed a manager who frequented the champions league and who will have continental connections for cheap hard working players. He'll get us a striker. He'll get us a hero. We have a bonkers manager yet again. But so what, we're Villa. It's what we do, be proud of the consistency.

OUI OUI OUI! This is a massive change for Villa, out with the deary tired methods, time for some glitz! I'm banking on some crazy youth players to come out of the french academies.

I AM NOT ANGRY I AM JUST PLEASED TO BE HERE! See you lot have been busy in the last 24 hours. I had great fun talking to a Leeds fan who was just happy to be in the championship, claiming it to be less drama and expectation of the prem, but with less misery and pain of league one. GH to bring in a player of every continent. I want to be the united colours of benetton villa. UCBVFC This will be our 3rd non-british manager... our second continental manager... WOWSER

According to a poster about an hour or two ago he was mentioned on Sky Sports News as possibly being reserve manager at Villa, while instead of Thompson has been convinced to stay with Sky. So you have no frame of reference here, Donny. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know... (TM The Big Lebowski) hahaha touche

Why are you even discussing Staunton!?!?!?!? He has no premiership experience in a management role so why is this even part of the conversation??? Do you lot just bicker with each other for the sake of it? Making rash generalising statements only to back track and ignore remarks that prove your swelling gap in intelligence (bix - that was for you)

Let it be known that if Phil Thompson was on fire, I'd eat a pile of my own sh1t before helping him. Him, LeTwat and that other scottish nut stain have been annoying me on GSS for too long. PAUL MERSON AS DIRECTOR OF ENTERTAINMENT

Are you really comparing the european super cup to our yearly away trip to walsall? No, thats a pre-season friendly, in fact thats usual a pre-season reserve friendly Exhibiton then Bicks eh? Match has no meaning. Nothing to win. Just like the Euro Super Cup. D'oh! Clearly you don't understand the point I'm making, so I'll just give up. If you want to claim the European Super Cup and the Charity Shield as some sort of major honour in football, carry on Oh do teach us peasants the difference between an exhibition game, a pre-season friendly and a massive metal trophy you get to hold up in front of 50'000 people.

Ahem... What? Correcting facts is a double negative... The way a post sounded? What does this sound like? na na-na na, na-na naa naaa naaah wooooo!

Are you really comparing the european super cup to our yearly away trip to walsall? No, thats a pre-season friendly, in fact thats usual a pre-season reserve friendly But it's still an exhibition game. Stop being so pedantic.

4 Cups and two exhibition games and then went to Lyon who had already won the league 4 times straight and won it again twice How much would he had won at liverpool had he not inherited Gerrard and Owen ? That said he seems a good judge of clubs who can win things - I just can't see it being houllier - I reckon the speculation is because he was the last one interviewed. - Hope fully we will have a new name tommorrow So if he came here and won something with us, GAB and Ash being instrumental, is the next line of excuse "would he have won anything had he not inherited them"? Baffling reasons some people are using for the hate, If you're not for the appointment, so be it, but the arguments have got to have more weight than that IMO. Hear hear, good post.

Are you really comparing the european super cup to our yearly away trip to walsall?

If you think the Charity Shield and the European Super Cup are actual honours you are mistaken. One is a one legged pre-season exhibition game the other is a two legged exhibition game that rarely attracts even a TV camera So a cup prestige depends on how many people are watching it? That's idiotic. Do you enjoy X-Factor? Charity shield is the domestic cup champion vs the league winner. A cup is determined by the teams that compete in it.

4 Cups and two exhibition games and then went to Lyon who had already won the league 4 times straight and won it again twice a) yes of course, let's say the same thing. wow. winning a league must be so easy, especially when the team did it the year before... avram grant. c) what was the point in your post? was it just to belittle my opinion?
