Come down the A605 Oundle Road (you'll be on it if you are coming along A14 anyway and ignore your Sat Navs taking you right across to the A1). The A605 leads right up to the ground and on your left as you get within half a mile of the ground are a couple of pubs advertising a welcome for away fans - they are also close to the car park and ground so ideal.

They must have started work on the true Moys End terraces and have redefined the "away end" as being part of the side stand.

Moys End is actually the away terrace behind the goal (no cameras), London road is the home terrace and will definitely be open !!!

Fair enough I guess !

Shouldn't they have dropped the "at 10am" and replaced it with "at some point when we can be bothered and, in the meantime, we'll plaster the result all over AVTV so that you can't enjoy it even when we do bother to put it up" ?!!!

Well I signed up for a month's AVTV subscription solely on the promise they gave that you'd be able to watch the US Tour games at 10am on the morning after the matches but its 11am now and not only nothing but loads of "spoilers" all over AVTV to give the result away so ...... totally p*ssed off now and I feel like AVTV has conned me into a subscripton !

That can only be seats as the Moys End terraces hold several thousand. They are supposed to be redoing the away end next season but the POSH website suggests it is open to away fans for the Villa game. Never bothered with tickets for this one - just turn up and pay on the day - there will be no problems getting in.

Funds available are £25M + sales and the player wage cap has been lifted ! Deal to be concluded Friday morning and announced wednesday morning next week.

Norwegian paper states Solskjaer will fly to Birmingham for a meeting on Friday so sounds like could be an announcement tomorrow ?

I know its not the thing to say but I really think we will be making a big mistake to get rid of McLeish. His track record shows that he always improves in his second season and, whether you like it or not, he has made us stronger defensively and helped develop some of our younger players too. Get a couple of decent players in this summer and give him a chance to establish his style and I think we can go places. Alternatively ........... ...... get rid of the useless ginger air bandit right now and get the party started !!!

I think you'll find MON told him to bulk up as he wasn't strong enough on the ball. Houllier told him he was overweight and needed to lose weight - Gabby publicly disagreed but Houllier was right. Ash never bulked up and look where his career has gone - Gabby did the weights and has now lost too much of his pace as a result. I'd give him a season under a new manager but it should be his last unless he gets himself sorted as he is a poor Championship player (on a good day) at the moment.

To be fair, the players WERE garbage today. I lost count of the number of times Villa players made no effort to battle for loose balls even when it was them who gave the ball away. Gabby may as well have carried a board proclaiming "I don't give a shite" because he clearly didn't and nor did many others. Whatever is going wrong at VP, it is clearly a disease that has spread throughout the entire roster and that can only mean its coming from the core which is McLeish and his supporting cast.

If Lerner vdoesn't sack McLeish after that then he clearly does not care 1% about our club. I will never pay to watch Villa again while McLeish is anywhere near the club.

A good manager is always one who gets more out of a team than the sum total of its parts. A poor manager is one who gets less out of a team than the sum total of its parts. The likes of Ireland, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Albrighton, Dunne, Collins (and more) are playing worse now than they were at their peaks in the past ...... he has failed to get the best out of any player and that, for me, should be the only criteria Lerner should be judging him by. What is the point in giving him funds to buy another exciting player because you can gaurantee he will drain any flare or talent from them and process them through the Eck Convertor machine to produce yet another hesitant, defensive and sterile player to add to the roster.

Is that a euphemism :shock: ?!!!

Curbishley will be announced as Villa manager on Thursday morning ...... you heard it here first !

So if the brawl turned out to be with a bunch of gobby noses, would that make anything different ?

Great fun ..... go do your worst ! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm

Best choice by far and if you are going to pick on Woy's failings with that pile of red shite up north then what about Redface's consistant failings leading up to this season ..... the tax-dodging lobster-chops has achieved very little in the game and would be a disaster on the international stage.

Does anybody seriously think QPR will pick up any more points after today's showing ?!!!!

Need Man City to stay in the title hunt until the final weekend when they play QPR. If man Ure win on Monday and the last weekend means nothing to them then I'll gaurantee they will roll over and gift QPR three points !

Funny thing today was watching the bagwash fans spunking over their programmes at being above us in the league and then watching Villa with the ginger clunge in charge and playing the worst football they've played in a generation, outplaying them for most of the game. Just proved that for all the handicaps we have at the moment, we remain the ONLY big club in the Midlands and remain top dogs in the region !

Kids did well - good energy - defended well - deserved to win - McLeish out !
