Definite no to Trapattoni.

Those bored of the style of football under MON will be on suicide watch with Traps attritional approach.

For sure

From the realistic candidates, Jol is the one I'd like to see here.

Alex Ferguson please.

As everyone else has said, great article. Well done.

Hah! Be great if he goes, if only to make Sullivan look like even more of a tool than he already does.

Didnt see much of him last year.

looked a good prospect the year before.

I know there were some rumoured disciplinary problems at blackpool.

Did he actually play much for them? he was a sub when they got promoted I think.

doesnt look too good if he couldnt force his way in at the lower level

Mate of mine is a Seasiders season-ticket holder, reckoned Bannan was very good last year and easily their most skillful player... also thought he was a little lightweight and needed another year in the championship before he was ready for the top flight.

Good onya Harry. He's just gone right up in my estimation.

Muslim country ... no lap dancing clubs .... I very much doubt it!!

Well there is but you only get to see their eyes.

Give em a couple of eye patches and they could still do a striptease.

Pfft, how can there be anything cruel or barbaric about the slow torturous death of an innocent animal for public entertainment?

No they aren't are they Damn me for trying to make the world a fairer place for us peasants!

Bloody commie.

No, wait.

What is wrong with lets say $500,000 converted directly into any other country via a real market rate which is set at a fixed rate which is taken on the 1st April every year (example). I'm pretty sure everyone and anyone could live on $500k a year.

Well for example $500k in one country could be worth much more in another - cost of living expenses vary wildly between different countries, regardless of currency.

Anyway, your suggestions really aren't within the spirit of football and free market capitalism :winkold:

However, a FIFA wide cap, would be a good, no a great thing! But then it would still have to dodge laws.

What is wrong with a maximum wage law?

How do you decide what the maximum wage would be? You're dealing with a ton of different currencies and economies, it would simply be impossible to do, fairly or otherwise.

Wage cap as a percentage of turnover is another option... but then you have things weighted unfairly towards the bigger clubs.

As The Rev says, it'll never happen.

Don't like the home kit. Away kit not too bad. Feel real sorry for Brad having to wear that eyesore... worst keepers kit we've had in a looooooong time.

Oh well.

plus the fact is Milner has shown before that he's only really in the game to make a few quid..

If we sign Pennant or SWP I may have to reconsider my support for Villa.

What are spains odds?

Wonder what they would be to win semi and final and not concede a goal?

I remember last week you posting that Spain would win their semi and their final 1-0.

Please advise next weeks winning lottery numbers.

I won't watch it at all... getting up at 4.30am on a monday morning... nah, I think not!

check out all the previous kits we had here http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Aston_Villa/Aston_Villa.htm my fav is the 1989 -90 kit check out the old round badge on the socks!

I think a return to the 1885-86 kit is in order myself.

King looks the best centre back in the premiership. He must go to the world cup.

Yes. Yes he must.

Hopefully we'll sell him soon so this thread will end.

I really only care about Villa, every thing else has turned into a passing interest at best.

That, plus what Trent said.

Plus the outrageous levels of diving and cheating in general these days, coupled with the death of any notion of sporting behaviour.

Melchester Rovers springs to mind on the third one

viruses gone, internet explorer not working. firefox is though. 90% success.

If the virus has gone and internet explorer doesn't work, i'd call that 100% success

This idea about the game being slowed down by technology is nonsense. Watching on tv we knew within a couple of seconds that Lampard's shot had crossed the line. An official watching on a monitor could have informed the referee within ten seconds, no problem - and if we had a sensor in the ball it would have taken no time at all. Technology would waste no more time than a player rolling around on the ground feigning injury does, or than a goalkeeper does pissing around before taking a goal kick.
