Good stats BOF. Lets just hope we don't have the mid season dip we did last year.

Willingness and ability to invest, but not be profligate

The Arsenal Official Site doesn't seem to have put its Reserves' fixtures up yet, but last season's match was played at the Underhill Stadium, Barnet's home ground.

Tip of the hat, dear Sir.

Fab update. Great to see the quality coming through the ranks. Does anyone have access to the reserves fixture list? I may try and catch them at a London away game.

They are on the OS here.

Excellent, thanks. Does anyone know if the Arsenal away game us usually played at the Emirates?

Genral - well done on securing Curtis Davies. He's a great talent and proves you're building a team with a British spine, which is rare in Football these days. Even if this is the last signing for the next TWO transfer windows, I'll be a very happy Villa fan.

Brilliant business.

For some perspective, our points totals since 2000/01 have been:

50 (last season) 42, 47, 56, 45, 50, 54.

wheres the 0-40 points on the poll .

hilarious.

Who in lords name is the soothsayer amongst out ranks???!

I had to have a double check to see that people might actually not believe!

and people dont!

I have no idea what so many people are moaning about, seriously...

We have played some of the most attractive, dominant football we have ever seen from

The Villa in years, that coupled with a great attitude even when losing.

Yes we can bemoan missing out on Gordon, and possibly Davies but we have signed

some good players and strengthened our quality.

Financial constraints, funds, targets, agents are always shifting, and while we need to pounce

at times we also need to keep a calm head.

Marty in my eyes is doing a brilliant job, and setting up a great base and I am not sure his

toughest task starts this season, or even the next.

We are not a London club, and our fans should stop acting like London fans, we should continue to

keep the faith in a manager who has not even been enough time to be judged.

I am glad for the negativity though, the more fans we attract, bad and good, the more attention we bring,

and hopefully the more bums we put on the seats, even if people come just to see how "badly" Marty is

getting it.

Barry and Reo and Young and Moore and Gabby and Davies...??? for England!

yes yes yes yes agreed agreed agreed

19% don't beleive? Gosh.

Villa fans are fickle. DOL was right!

3 more, maybe 4.

Centre Half, Right back, maybe a keeper and maybe a left back or right mid

Bloody hell, you're optimistic!!

I've gone for 2, a defender and a goal keeper.

I beleive we will be pushing for the 6th or 7th place spot this season if we sign a decent RB and are lucky with injuries.
