Delph to boss it in the middle of the park, Young to think he is at least 5 levels above the opposition and spend the day trying to beat every player at least twice, giving the ball away and then diving. Petrov to look leggy after an hour, Milner not far behind him. Heskey to spend half the day being cut to the ground and looking like he has been shot by a sniper in each stand, whatever knock he has to appear life threatening and he asks to come off only to be running around like nothing has happened 30 seconds later. Dunne to be like a human rock, Collins to be like a slightly headless rock (!), Warnock and Young to be tidy. Villa to win 2-1.

Delph was always going to be the one to make way for Carew, I really don't understand why anyone would think any different. Don't forget you whingers are all enjoying the benefit of hindsight, making a positive change to bring Carew on didn't work on this occasion, no doubt if MON hadn't done it and it remained 1-1 people would have been moaning that it should have been done. We've beaten Man Utd somewhat fortuitously 0-1 at their place and drawn 1-1 at home in a game where you'd think the odds were stacked in our favour on the night. We move on, Palace on Sunday and then Burnley next week, if things haven't gone well in those two games (certainly Burnley) then there are questions to answer.

Daniel Bradley has gone on loan to Atherstone United. Sounds like Villa have done them a real favour with this one, their manager is Dale Belford who started his career at Villa and has played masters football for the club.

That thread is great and very quotable!

I like him and hope he makes it too, he has a little something about him and he is very natural. I was just commenting on the fact that he wasn't running games and he is not that type of player.

Giles Barnes wasn't running games for Derby at all, he was running in games I'll give you that. They played him wide or up front because he could run, he was a youngster with a bit of promise about him, a little bit Gabby-esque. He's done virtually nothing since, although injuries have cost him.

Very look to escape with a point, made Spurs look a far better team than they actually are. Cuellar made some great blocks and tackles but a lot of them came from his own woeful mistakes.

Yeah, I got it from the Barclays Premier League website, I did think the 0-0s looked a bit dodgy seeing as there are normally lots of goals around at this level. Bit rubbish really that the official site just makes up the scores!!

You mean Jim Beglin? Sounds a lot like Trevor Francis. Jim Beglin sounds nothing like Trevor Francis! Was definitely Francis summarising on whatever channel the stream was coming from.

Drew 0-0 against Spuds.

Is that in the game from the start?

Some great comments on that video. response from blues fan

Is that not the crux of it though lapal_fan? You and AVFC_POB both have close family and friends who support that lot, so your experiences are different to others such as Rob who has had similar family and friends given a pasting by a set of knuckle draggers. I'm not blaming you for defending your families but don't forget others are setting their own opinions on what they have seen and heard as well. Don't make it out to be a personal attack, I'm fairly sure that nobody is getting at your family or friends, they just happen to be unfortunate enough to share the reputation that the less well behaved fans have created. I know you don't like it but it is not just Villa fans who believe that they are trouble.

What?! We hate blooz because they are our local rivals and we laugh when they lose. To be fair they have become more of an irrelevance over the past few seasons and even now (even with their lucky wins) but if they did'nt exist they would'nt make us laugh so much, whats the problem? He's just getting all pissy because all his family and mates are blues.

I wasn't aware that words written on flags proved anything. I don't think anyone is denying that Villa have some braindead fans. As has been said before blues fans have a reputation across the country for having lots of trouble makers, Villa don't. Make of that what you will.

You've posted a link to a load of chavs having their pictures taken, conclusive.

What the **** has happened to this thread? Very strange. It is pretty simple, certain clubs attract certain types of people and they tend to attract the lower end of the market. That said Villa and every other club have their share of undesirables and Blues have their share of decent folk.

Don't get beat, that is the most important thing.

This about sums up Spurs and their sad little band of fans. You've heard Glaston spouting about his ITKs which he knows are genuine because COYS has so many reliable people who are well informed, I signed up on there in the summer and I can tell you it is a load of rubbish. A site that welcomes ITK has the most ITKs around, now isn't that a massive suprise, the fact is that the most 'reliable' ones seem to be hit and miss, miss, miss at best and mostly have nothing. I do find it amusing (if it is true) that somebody who seems to take great delight in posting on other clubs sites should then have users banned from his own glorious clubs site. I also like the threat the have come up with, I think I'm banned on there as well I'm scared that the coppers are going to come around and arrest me now.

Beat Bristol City 4-1 today.

It is an interesting policy, whilst a little disappointing it does also make sense to a degree. Of course we'd all love to see the club bring through 11 kids a year all born within half a mile of Villa Park but realistically there will only be a handful of players from Birmingham and even the Midlands who will go on to be Premier League players of the level we require. If we have got two of said players and find another 8 or 10 from various parts of the country/globe who fit that bill then it can only be a good thing in the long term.

Where did you hear that sgc? Only two taken on and three maybes, not great really.

Can't get on Spurs Odyssey, need to be a member. Does it detail scorers etc?

Just put them in here
