    "That will offset the club’s top deals with Gabriel Agbonlahor, Stiliyan Petrov, Richard Dunne and Stephen Ireland, who all earn above the average." Seriously? I knew Ireland was on more than £57k but would be very surprised if the others are. I always thought our top earners were Ireland, Bent and Heskey. In fact, the whole article looks like pure BS.

    Bit of a stretch that is. I've not been too impressed with Delph to be honest. At times he looks good, but he often takes too long on the ball and loses possession far too easily. His tackles are reckless and IMO he offers little going forward. Think he would be better if he was playing with a proper DCM and a proper ACM in a 3 man midfield. That said, I'd drop him when Jenas is fit and go with Petrov holding, Jenas as a box-to-box midfielder, with Ireland just behind Bent/Gabby.

    Just had a look at a Man City forum, out of interest, and could not believe the abuse we were getting from some of them. Slating our attendance v Wolves (which was shit, I know, but there were many factors for it). Bunch of arseholes they are. Used to be a decent set of fans but now the success is going to their heads. Having said that, there were some decent posters on there who spoke sense. I'm sure if we were spending hundreds of millions year on year and keeping our best players we would be selling out too.

    I was impressed with the back 4, particularly the full backs. Bannan had a good game, but IMO both Makoun and Ireland were not up to scratch. This against a very poor team too. N'Zogbia didn't look match fit and Albrighton's delivery was not good enough and his overall play was far too predictable. Bent looked frustrated and I can't blame him - every time he got the ball it was in wide positions and nobody got themselves in the box to cover for him. On a side note, the kid Hereford brought on in the latter stages looked 12 years old, how the hell did he get a game?

    If I was him I'd leave. He's not a villa fan! People seem to think footballers have some sort of obligation to stay at a club. If you worked for a small firm and a large firm made it known they wanted to employ you and offer you much more money, would you turn it down just because you were happy in your current employment? No, because how do you know you're not going to be even happier at the new place with loads more cash and better prospects. Face it, we're not getting anywhere near top 4 any time soon. He looks like he needs a change of scenery too, hasn't quite reached his form of a couple of seasons ago.

    Really excited and nervous, first blues game I will have attended. Was going to find a pub but just read that the pubs will be members only, does anyone know what time the ground opens? Need to get a few pints in to calm the nerves.

    Olof'sAcorn replied to BackRowVilla's topic in PL: sha h

    Will they sell beer in the ground? I assume they will but just want to check

    there is no way that the police would allow that many away fans at either game Well then, the police are ghey!

    To steal Man United's Rooney chant... Saw my mate... the other day, He said to me he's seen the new Pele, So I asked... who is he? He goes by the name of Emile Heskey! :winkold:

    If a ST holder buys tickets for others, are you relocated from your normal seat? I want to do this with the Blues game but cant see anything on the online ticket office. Think I'm going to have to order by phone.

    VDV is a quality signing for that price. Villa fans were jizzing at the thought of him not long ago, but now he's joined Spurs he's ordinary all of a sudden. Something to do with the green eyed monster i reckon.

    The Fiat Petrov - Has one gear, which happens to be reverse. After 60 minutes loses all of its power.

    **** pathetic this is. Surely they would have had the basic template of the kit ready and waiting for the announcement of the sponsor. I cannot believe it takes 2 months from the unveiling to the sale.
  15. Olof'sAcorn
    **** me, why are people surprised that nike haven't made a new template specifically for us? A bit of perspective people!! We are not Man United. The kit looks good, its a bit different to the usual. I'm happy with it.
  16. Olof'sAcorn
    I think if we wanted Prince Boateng we should have bought him before the WC, surely his price would have doubled after his performances so far. Looks a very promising player.
  17. Olof'sAcorn
    I love how after one performance people have gone from 'if he wants to go, cash in', to 'keep him, he's the best player in the world'. I would still keep him, but I said that before the game.
  18. Olof'sAcorn
    I heard something similar regarding Wigan, but I can't remember what game it was and who it related to. Maybe he mixed us up with them.
  19. Olof'sAcorn
    What makes you think Kuyt would want to come to Villa? Hardly a step up (even if we have finished slightly above them in, lets face it, a freakishly poor season for them) as they are in europa league too. That fee of 6-7m is laughable too. Double it and maybe you're close. Oh, and we probably wouldn't match his wages.
  20. Olof'sAcorn
    I quite like the idea of the top, shorts are dreadful though.
  21. Olof'sAcorn
    If you can't say then why the hell would you post that you know, surely you were expecting people to ask? Tell us man!
  22. Olof'sAcorn
    Can i be the first to say... WTF? I wasn't aware A CL club had bid for him. People were moaning about us paying 12m for him and now he's the dogs bollocks? Another season at Villa won't do him any harm at all.
  23. Olof'sAcorn
    Id love to know where you get your valuations for your summer transfer targets 100% guesstimations 100% fantasy more like.
  24. Olof'sAcorn
    I find this incredibly hard to believe. Their initial offer was £20m, and as far as I'm aware, they haven't made a bid since. So you say they value this deal at £45m, more than double the initial offer? If true, Mancini really isn't as smart as people think.
  25. Olof'sAcorn
    I wouldn't sell unless it was silly money. Milner has been great this season and will only get better due to his work ethic. He doesn't seem the type of player/person to make waves and I would hope he wants to stay. After being treated like shit at Newcastle and moving from club to club, surely he would like some stability.
