Hereford-Villan

Hardly a chance of Bentley coming. He rotted on the bench at the noses. No player bigger than the club but losing your player of the season every summer shows that you are a selling club. Why would another top player come in? Your going to be left with the Collins type journeyman on big bucks.

If Downing goes i would expect Bent to follow to this summer.

Hughes signed Kompany, De jong, Given, Tevez, Lescott and Barry. I think he's decent in the transfer market

The poll is for who i want: Ancelotti

I think it'll be Hughes or Moyes. Moyes only if promises are made re funds.

I'd be happy with any of the three

Ancelotti would be a top appointment. I think unfortunately he's above us though. Moyes is gettable with the right promises. Gut sas Hughes. Fulham fans are gutted according to their forum

Bit off topic but is this the same daughter that Hendrie was banging? Anyone know what she looks like?

He'll never play for Villa again. Deservedly so too after the comments he has made about the club and area.

Need some help! As my username suggests i'm from Hereford. Now i'm taking the wife and her mum up to the NEC so that they can watch westlife on Friday. Need to kill nearl 5 hours so thought id watch a film. Went on Google and it seems that the Solihull Cineworld is the closest cinema but it seems like next to nothing is on? Anyone with a suggestion of another cinema or a film?

Think i posted something about this before. Me and my mate both season card holders have never had an invite.

Fancied a pint before the one game so went to the holte suite. It was full so they suggested a walk over to the holte pub. Queued for a while and eventually got in. They then wanted to charge £3 to get in! It was half an hour before KO so it would of been a very dear pint! I was pretty pissed off and did start to wonder what perks were their to a season ticket? Apparently just being able to go there was the perk!! Anyone would think the beer was discounted.

Thought Downing was okay?! Reo MOM for me

Disgraceful that Ireland was given the number 9 shirt. Not saying he's been shit (although he has) he is a midfielder and could of had Jimmys' NO. 8.

Actually found it difficult to get off my mobile this afternoon. Constantly checking newsnow and twitter for developments. Not much productivity at work!

Very excited by this and the potential others. The other good news is Ash and Downing staying.

Only need to get rid of the shite MON signings and we'll be on the right track

Any meeting will be to discuss transfers and not his future. No chance of him going. He'll get till the end of the season no doubt about that.

Back him or sack him time. I personally think he has got to have a chance to bring some players in. A few quality additions and we will be a better much better side

Lichaj was boss today, him and Delph were our two best players (shortly followed by Delfouneso when he came on)

Agreed

Another good performance from him. Same can't be said for the useless piece of shit Warnock. I can see a new LB on the horizon.

No. After comments and an inept managerial performance like tonight he needs to be sacked.

One thing i also noticed in the pre match build up was Gerrard signing autographs for Liverpool fans and if i remember correctly a previous poster asked why he never bothers at Villa park. You stated that he was too busy. Obviously not too busy when he's at a previous club for which he prefers to lose too!

A hard night being a Villa fan. Performance was a real shocker but for our manager to be so public with his affection for his previous club is a real sickner. Surely something has to be done? 2 wins in the time he has been with us is a very disappointing return. I really can not see how a board member can back someone and even go as far as to praise him given the statistics.

I only hope that it was the dreaded vote of confidence and that he's down the road before he gets the chance to spend some of the surplus transfer kitty from the sale of our star player.

Not sure if you knew but Martin Jol the man that probably 99% of villa fans wanted is now available after quitting Ajax.

Delfouenso the only player to look decent tonight. Gabby was utter shite

Row 21. Will i be underneath the stand. I heard that stuff gets thrown at us from above so would prefer to come home in one piece / not stinking of piss.

Row 21 i think

I feel dirty. Tickets have arrived. I've put them in the garage so that they don't stink the house out!

Is there a friendly away pub near the sty?

Just what I heard at the match yesterday. Of course the police will only be about so far from the ground. It's my first away derby so am a little apprehensive. Looking forward to it though. Going to get the train so that the car doesn't get trashed

Also thought he did ok. Would rather him in than Sidwell. Wouldn't be anywhere near the first team squad though if Delph and Gary gardner were fit.

Apparently we are being kept in for an hour after the game finishes.
