    What BOF said. Last week, there were signs of profligacy in front of goal and serious defensive frailties. Today there were glimpses of great attacking play. It will take a while for the team to find its balance, something that's off without Milner. Also just perhaps Newcastle were spurred on by the fact the last time we played them we relegated them. Basically KMac gambled and lost badly.

    Reaction? WOW

    Hear, hear BOF. A nice change from all the childish recriminations flying between the "MON acolytes" and "anti-MON brigade". For the record, IMO MON did a good job and we've got very accustomed to top 6 finishes. I'm skeptical that the next manager will achieve as much with the new financial restrictions. Obviously MON knew he couldn't and quit.

    The Bullring? He'll feel right at home.
  5. CBGB
    Him neither

    To be fair, I don't think Rooney took much sussing out this World Cup.

    I see it too. In fact I would be mightily surprised to see anyone sign this summer which would suit the club financially ... if not our ambitions. From the club's perspective, I suppose our ambitions are whatever we can afford, so que ser sera. Going into the season with an (at this level) inexperienced temporary manager, an unsettled squad, and no new signings is not great.

    For "Sven on a budget", see Notts County.

    Wow, I've never agreed with anything you've written before

    You can keep saying it, but it'll make you look a bit silly.

    ...or Dave Basset

    The best of the realistic ones is Jol, but I don't see him as a major improvment on MON. I seem to remember Spurs wasting all kinds of money he spent on players in his time at Spurs? Klinsmann is not a serious choice. If he can't do anything with the players he had at Bayern Munich, how's he going to do anything at Villa? His success managing Germany may have had something to do with having a certain Joachim Low assisting him... As for some of the others - Curbishley, Allardyce, Bob Bradley - FFS! How average do we want to be? Southgate?! Come on...

    If there's ever been a better piece of writing on Villa Talk, I havent read it.
  15. CBGB
    Totally agree and thats how the Villa management feel ! Quite right.

    Only if they pay it.

    Shame to let the most sensible comment in a while pass unnoticed.

    Pointless question.

    It's Citeh, it'll all end in tears. Not tears of joy, either. It's just the way it is.

    Milner is a known quantity and is quality. Delph may get to the same level, but may well not. Selling Milner, with the assurances that Delph's bound to come good, is a risky way to progress.
  22. CBGB
    Me, I'd much rather we kept Milner and bought a decent striker. Milner makes us tick. We've got decent defenders, Delph will be coming back, Delfonso should be kicking on... but we need to shift Heskey and bring in someone to score goals. But it's the price of being a decent team that our best players get cherry-picked, so we'll see...

    Not sure any tackling would get done in a Downing - Ireland - Carrick - Young midfield
  24. CBGB
    Hard to see anything other than a home win. We haven't won at city for ages, and they are stronger than ever. Which means it's still likely we'll finish 7th. Still a good season AFAIC.

    Nothing would surprise me with this game (except for Hull tonking us).
