    Dunne was in the best 11 of the premier league while he was playing under MON. What's happening under different managers is irrelevant when you're judging the manager who's brought him. Say, McEck is sacked and another manager comes in and suddenly N'Zogbia becomes the second coming of Ashley Young, would Eck get the praise? No **** way - the new man would and deservingly. Same with players who have performed great under one manager and badly under another - it's not the fault of the manager under which he's played well.

    Must have been MON! Surely! No?

    A good result against a direct rival, leaving them 9 points behind.Yay!

    How could history show anything about a scenario that has never happened and is at best a rumour? If anything, the more talked about rumour was that MON asked to buy Scott Parker to replace Milner and was allegedly turned down by Lerner/Faulkner, which is exactly something that Redknapp, who managed to get Spurs in the top 4, actually did. Thus, if we're going to base anything on rumours, it was Randy who didn't want to do what the Spurs have done.

    Yea...yea... but now when yet another team beats us and their fans start a banter you can tell them something like : We lost but our wage bill is under control, how's yours huh? Ha-ha. It really bothers them, they don't know what to answer back with.

    Guess he's right - they ARE special. Just not in a good way.

    Why would either Rogers or Lambert want to come to Villa? Dont be ridiculous. However bad things get at Villa we dwarf those two clubs combined and then some. They'd both jump at the chance if it came. Do you believe that Lerner wasn't rejected by some managers and McLeish was his first choice, or at least one of his top choices?
  8. BG_Villa_Fan
    I don't know why this keeps getting ignored. We also had poor attacking options and nothing close to what Mcleish has on offer. Thinking back we had an attack of Angel, who as much as I love him, at the time was no better than Heskey is now, an up and coming Gabby, who had scored a single goal in his career prior to that season and Luke Moore who was... well Luke Moore. Damn! Edit : almost forgot about Baros, the word removed.

    Also, Laursen only played about a dozen games in the 06/07 season.
  10. BG_Villa_Fan
    Not sure I agree, don't forget we had bouma Laursen mellberg Barry Plus MON had cash to buy Petrov Carew and Young The squads were similar in capability but MON inherited a much better defence Laursen had played about 10 or so games for Aston Villa before MON arrived. His best years were while MON was in change. Samoe for Bouma, he was rubbish his first season. Barry was on his way to Portsmouth for 4 milion pounds until MON arrived and kept him. Says it all. King Olof, was of course, king Olof. MON's first season squad was extremely poor, much much weaker than this season's.

    They could make a hockey substitution and bring on a striker for Hart, wouldn't make a difference.
  12. BG_Villa_Fan
    Wish we had the same effect with Houllier and McLeish...

    An interested Lerner under the right manager would be excellent. Unfortunately we haven't had that yet. How could an interested Lerner appoint the right manager in the first place? Even if AMC get the sack somehow, the probable list of managers would most likely include Allardyce, Sven and Fistface on top.

    Manuel Pellegrini has done the same for Real Madrid as Jose Mourinho, who's better?

    John Terry

    You can't say that, it's racialistic! Italians are proper racist. They don't want Balotelli to play for Italy (even though he was born and raised in Europe) because he doesn't have "Italian blood". Extreme cases of unashamed hypocrisy like this one should be quoted and applauded
  16. BG_Villa_Fan
    A whole lot of butthurt in this thread, it's very amusing tbh.
  17. BG_Villa_Fan
    Alex McLeish.
  18. BG_Villa_Fan
    There's one thing about Tottenham fans that I have a lot of respect for - even if they're dead wrong they'll still defend their club and players even to the point of being ridiculous. That's exactly the opposite of what us Villa fans usually do, we're the first to belittle our own. Props, I guess...
  19. BG_Villa_Fan
    So Tevez is in the better 50% then
  20. BG_Villa_Fan
    While I couldn't argue with any of what you've written, there are two peope who are/were actually at the club and one of them has stated that Villa should qualify for the european competitions this season and the other said we were in the 4th , oops 5th to 9th bracked, 9th being the worst possible. We're now 11th.

    In essence, Iranian/Chinese/North Korean type of laws dressed up as anti-piracy. Disgraceful.
  22. BG_Villa_Fan
    Really?? I honestly don't beleive you need scouts to find the likes of Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Ba and Cisse. They're needed though, you need to know which one you should buy ( Cabaye ) and which you shouldn't ( Makoun ). Not that easy.
  23. BG_Villa_Fan
    Both QPR and Sunderland's new managers were free agents though. I remember there being thin pickings amongst free agents when MON left. I'm less inclined to criticise the Houllier appointment than the McLeish one because we were in a pretty desperate situation back then. Last summer however we really should have done a much better job of it. Well to me it looks like both QPR and Sunderland knew exactly who they wanted and simply went and got their man, unlike us, who had to schedule many interviews ( then cancelled some ) - the whole publicity made it a proper farce.
  24. BG_Villa_Fan
    ^ Makes you wonder about the next appointment On a side note, apparently it doesn't take weeks and months to hire a manager even in the middle of a season.
  25. BG_Villa_Fan
    It did at the time. We're now well aware of these.
