If that's a Craig David reference it's gone way over my head

Where you read that?

Perhaps we're Walking Away from it.

Let's just Rewind for a moment.

Oh I didn't know that bit, just saw someone had re-tweeted and passed it along. It's soooo **** boring right now!

Not saying I believe it but just seen a tweet saying we've accepted £18.5mill from Liverpool. Just passing it on.

#LFC. Sources suggest that Villa accept the £18,500,000 bid from Liverpool for Downing. Watch this space - posted by Football_Agent9

Dean Scoggins, sun journo, on twitter in response to someone:

Given should be by Tuesday. Parker top of the hitlist, money being talked about. N'zogbia in if Downing goes

Strange they're saying £20million for N'Zogbia though, this Dean bloke is saying £9million on twitter. Suppose bigger fees touted looks more exciting.

That's what we want to hear Stephen! Can call it media or typical sort of quotes, but he comes across hungry in this piece and if it's the case we're going to benefit from that hugely. But as ever in football, time will eventually tell.

7 for Ireland fits well, had that Citeh during his stand out season. Not saying it's gonna happen with us now, before any of the doom merchants jump all over it.

Saving for 8 for Milner

Shoulder & wage concerns aside, as a player it's a good good piece of business.

Pretty sure that's Gary Gardner in between Petrov and Bannan. The one at the back u can see between Collins and Beye/Clark...Not a clue!

Papers know DJ is back in training tomorrow, so it's an easy story to run. According to the Mirror Fabregas was supposed to be gone/future decided today.

Forget how many times Downing and Albrighton combined for goals last season. Shame he's not commited to us because that partnership could blossom even further this season.

If we get him for £9mill that's less than what we paid for A.Young, and that would symbol a superb piece of business.

Saying Shay Given is only a good shot stopper is like saying Darren Bent only scores goals. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Amen to that, brother. Couldn't agree more! He was outstanding before his injury for City. Yes please.

Agree on the wages too though, way too high!

Is there an actual official twitter page of Carroll's? Can't seem to find it.

Vital_Villa posted this one on Twitter:

He left the shit to come to us, McLeish, McLeish

He left the shit to come to us McLeish, McLeish

King of the town,he took them down

For that the guy deserves a crown

Secret Agent 451 McLeish

Can't see that catching on/fans wanting to sing it...or any for that matter lol

I said it earlier and i'll say it again, people saying this isn't over yet have to be speaking out of hope more than anything. I know when I wake up tomorrow morning it'll be over and AM will be plastered all over the OS, Sky Sports, BBC, etc.

I know it's just a hunch you have Julie but move on lol, not having a go at you or anything, it just plants that 1% worth of doubt/hope in my head it could happen like that. And a man needs to sleep at some point

Follw up from Kendrick: Just to clarify, I hear McLeish's appointment will be confirmed by a club statement today with a press conference early next week. #avfc

Kendrick also saying he expects AM to be announced around 6pm.

Are people still holding out hope for a different man to be named manager? Give me strength. There's no more straws left. Just the bleak reality to face.

Welcome to Aston Villa, Alex McLeish All the best in the world.

That's all that needs to be said right now. Anything else is only to detriment to ourselves and our football club.

*Passes over a tin hat* I do agree though.

General, tonight i'm hanging my head in shame as a Villa fan. I appreciate passion for the club and voicing opinions, but vandalising our own club's property is just ridiculous and unforgiveable. Don't care if i get slated but this is an embarrassment tonight. Wouldn't be surprised if Randy decided to jack it in and I wouldn't blame him really.

Semper Fi.

Haha sorry Gareth, I knew some geek would take the bait and bite!!

I get it now all the talk with smokescreen this and smokescreen that, it's obvious who is going to be the new manager.

People talking about feeling sick and wanting to vomit. Now for me, watching sky sports news just now, seeing that bloke down at Bodymoor Heath scrubbing the walls in front of the cameras is more vomit inducing than anything else. Abso-****-lutely disgraceful!
