Looks like the long awaited introduction of this is being started tonight when they test it out during tonights Hampshire FA Senior Cup final at St Mary’s Stadium. I really can not believe how long this has taken, what was wrong with doing this 10 years ago? Shows how much Fifa have their fingers on the pulse! clicky

They will do anything to get people to phone in.....bet it works too!

Im not sure AVB would be the best option with us, EVEN IF we could tempt his massive ego to VP. He has no experience of working with teams not fighting at the top of the table, and is only used to dealing with top players. I think he would explode watching us play football!

I agree MM, Hoddle would be my choice too. Id be more than happy with Martinez, Lambert or Poyet either, in that order.

WOW! Why do we have to wait till feckin lunch? This has to be one of the most universely disliked managers in football history!

Bit off topic but Downing said the same thing 12 months earlier!

Martinezs stock seems to be rising. Liverpool are being linked today in a couple of the tabloids.

Steve Bruce had better get new locks!

oh good shout!

At least if they get to the playoffs it will make the play offs interesting. I also like my odds, supporting 3 teams in a 4 team tournament!

Luis Suarez by qiute some way. Honorable mention to Josh Koscheck.

You can't name him after the father! :winkold: I think we all know he only shoots blanks!

Thanks fellas! 39hr labour didn't look like too much fun!

My son was born at 11am on tues. He hasn't got a name yet although that should change quite soon.

4 home wins says an awfull lot really!

what the **** is he doing taking albrighton off when we need a goal, whats the matter with one of the 5/6 defenders?

typical of this team!

So let me get this right, the ref lets man u go on to have an attempt at goal while they have a player down, as soon as we get the ball he blows! Figures!

How is this still 1-0?

We are in danger of losing to a cricket score here!

I do!

Wonder whats odds you would get for a 5-1 villa win?

I’m probably not going to renew but it would be unfair to put one of the reasons above as it’s really a mixture of the three. My kid is due to be born any day now and I’ll have to lose one of my weekend social pursuits, I have decided after much soul searching that it will probably be this. One of the main reasons is that going to VP just doesn’t have the same pull as it used to have, even during Houliers reign. It’s not only the ridiculously sterile football served up but also the general feeling of hostility on the stands, its poisoning an already flat atmosphere that quite frankly taking the enjoyment out of my match day experience. I also don’t trust the board and Learner to pull us out of this redundant state. Even when we do drop the manager, who will replace him? Even the best managers in the world would struggle with the combination of restraints and expectation levels here, and the best managers we most certainly won’t get with this current set up. However as I said to blame it on the manager or Learner alone would be unfair, as its also got a lot to do with the realisation that I’m slowly falling out of love with the whole game, and its bias towards the money men and their teams. As I said, no one particular reason, just a probable no from me.

I really will just be sitting in fear of who Learner will replace him with TBH!
