Correct. Very unlike Newcastle. Burn is also a sensible signing. I was expecting signings like Balotelli and George Weah's cousin

If you could be a Villa player in any game in history…

Ray Houghtons goal in normal time in the same game had Villa Park absolutely rocking. Pagliuca was sick of him at that stage. He lobbed him at the World Cup a few months earlier. -

Nicklas Helenius v Tottenham is the obvious choice. One of the most iconic moments in Villa Park history.

The biggest without question I would say. Huge statement. Lets hope it works out
-
Of the players linked so far I'd love to see us make a move for Doig from Hibs. Looks a really promising left back and Targett really needs some more competition. I personally think if we sign Doig now he'll be first choice at the start of next season
-
Doesn't quite roll off the tongue like the Polish Cafu but we'll try fit it into a song somehow
-
His bad performances outnumber his good ones by quite a lot. If we want to progress from where we currently are he (along with a good few others) is not good enough to help us do that
-
He's almost certainly played his last game for us given the way we've progressed. As others have said though I really hope he has a great career. The likes of Rotherham should they get promoted, or any lower Championship team would really suit him.

Absolutely superb tonight
-
Unfortunately was pipped to first place in the Ballon d'Or Lego Hair award by Mikel Arteta. Danny Murphy cast the deciding vote and couldn't live with himself if he gave it to a Villan.

25 lads should hold their heads in shame knowing they placed above the real winner
-
Never stopped running today. Great to see that never say die attitude on the pitch
-
Thought he was superb today. Gerrard will get the best out of him and he'll be like a new signing
-
Is this game sold out?
-
Thought he looked and sounded nervous too but that can't be a bad thing. It's a massive opportunity and he seems desperate to succeed. I hope and think he will too
-
Presumably your colleague was in some sort of boat as Steven Gerrard walks on water?
-
When is his first press conference with external media? Will it be the usual day before matchday presser or will there be an unveiling type press conference with himself and Purslow/Lange?
-
Welcome to the greatest football club in the world Steven. I for one am buzzing. UTV
-
I've not seen the Rangers pub in Dublin Or any other city I've been to apart from Glasgow
-
Waiting for the obligatory Dwight Yorke interview on Sky Sports News complaining that he's applied but has heard nothing back despite being the greatest manager in the history of football
-
Can see there being a few issues to sort out around the backroom team. Mind you, Noel Fielding as set piece coach couldn't be any worse than what we have currently
-
That deserves a knighthood.
-
To be fair to McLeish (and I'm no fan of his as a manager) he came in at a completely different time and wasn't backed by the board at all. Any manager taking the job now has a bigger budget than we've ever been able to offer a manager before so there would be no excuse for failure. Just hope that whoever it is that takes it is given a fair chance by our support and I genuinely think they will be.
-
Fair point. I suppose it would be on him to win over the doubters. Still not convinced he'd take it but if he did we'd forget any previous rivalry quick enough if he started getting decent results.
-
I see your point but I think even people on here who are dead against the idea of him becoming manager would support him if he got the job. Granted he might not be given as much time as a Villa hero but I don't think there'd be an element of hatred like when McLeish got the job. I could be wrong but it's not as if Liverpool are our main rivals (or Rangers for that matter )
