If PA was genuinely interested in buying Villa and also genuinely interested in investing hundreds of millions to turn us into competitors again, then why wait for Lerner to go through the pain of stripping out the high earners. Having a massive negative PL wouldn't affect his willingness to purchase us if he is the guy to pump millions into us.

 

Sorry, but I just don't see any dreams being built here.

If a billionaire was to buy a house owned by another billionaire, do you reckon the old owner wouldnt have it cleaned up?

I love Per Mertesacker

 

I'd love Gabby to do something like this;

'We are going to...eee Wembley init?'

I have posted this in the Lambert thread but I think it is also applicable to our takeover as one of the best pieces of evidence;

The reason Lambert WILL get the sack, as well as one of the best pieces of evidence for the takeover is this;

http://www.telegraph...w-contract.html

That was in February. It has been quiet about this since March, and since then we have been bombarded with speculations on our takover. The reason why Lambert was going to get a new contract was that there was no buyer. Now, there is a buyer of the club, therefore Lambert will not get a new contract.

A potential counter argument for this claim is that Lambert hasnt been very good recently. Well, I think we were poor throughout the season. A win here and there at the beggining of the campaign does not change the manager over a few months period. It is the same Lambert that was going to get a new contract in Fabruary.

That is all, I am here all week.

 

it is interesting that Adidas can make such a nice Bayer kit, using the same colours as Milan, yet mess up the latter. How? Why? Who got paid for it?

imagine if Rooney was to go to Man City, What would the Manure reaction be? 

I guarantee you, nothing like this. English football, where have we lost it? 

Can't decide between Delph against Albion or Chelsea.

its gotta be against west brom. I think what you keep forgetting is that anyone who has ever played the game could have pulled of what Delph did against chelsea.

am I the only one that doesnt like umbro? 

that looks like a beautiful away kit!

 

no no no no no. No.

Yes, Suarez is a very skilfull football player. Yes, his footballing ability is impressive. But he is NOT a great football player.

As I previously said, I would rather have Grant Holt play in a Villa shirt than racist, cheating, diving Suarez. DISGRACE ON A FOOTBALL PITCH!

Hi Paul

 

hello 

some comments from the hull forum...

'Let's kick 'em while they're down.'

'They'll be a bag of nerves & their fans will turn if we score first'

this one is interesting thoughu;

'Well the squad have been given today and tomorrow off (at least Long has) so I think Brucie reckons we are'

maybe they really dont give a toss about our game?

I wonder how we would feel if he got sacked, went somewhere like swansea, got a few million more than he did at Villa and created a new Everton...

no no no no no. No.

how much better is watching this than Swansea - Villa?  maybe one day we will be as good as this again...

Tactical genius. He does not seem to care that he parks the bus, he wins, and thats what the fans want. He will go far by that approach, and by drawing with Atletico they are with a big chance of going to the CL final. Unfortunately, the league is out of his hands, so they must rely on other results. I hope they do it though, out of ManC and Liverpool. 

Secondly, as much as we can despise him, he knows exactly what he is doing. Let me give you an example;

When ramires brutally and criminally fouled Karim, Jose knew exactly what he was doing to get himself sent off. I think he did it to take the pressure of his player. And the papers hardly talked about Ramires; it was all about Mourinho getting sent off. 

He is a tactical genius, bit of an asshole, but a great, intelligent manager. 

ill have a pm if you are kind enough 

Gabby.

Let's do it Giggsy style

maybe to do some business at the ground with the new owner? But then again, Im sure Randy has people to show the potential buyers round our facilities. Unless of course, they are not american, and come from the east. Could birmingham be the halfway meeting point?

Or maybe he just fancied a pit stop on broad street?

I know national teams have training camps/games, but a lot of what they play must be influenced by the team that the players play in. And for that reason, Germany will not win it. I was hoping for them to do so, but bayern is nowhere near as good tacticaly as they were last year

 

its probably for the same reason Pele is not considered one of the best players in the history.... Oh, wait a minute...

Ha ha silly, that's not Pele!!  

 

 

Don't.... know.... if.... sarcastic....

I'm sorry Brad 

I never 'had a go' at Holt like a lot of us here, but what makes you guys think that Holt will actually win those crosses?
