don't you get bored? Birmingham City fans never get bored posting on a Villa forum

Downing stated he wanted to leave in May, before Houllier had gone .... ..well appointing a manager with worse PREMIERSHIP EXPERIENCE pedigree than Mick McCarthy was hardly going to change his mind . This appointment has sent out big signals to everyone including the players. Its made Downings pondering whether to leave or not a lot, lot easier. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I am glad you would content with this signing. Once we reestablish ourselves as a top 6 club we can then go out and sign C.Ronaldo and Messi.

Today?!?! This is not an isolated incident

Where they not the first to announce that Mcleish was our new manager? Yeah they did but getting one thing in every hundred right does not make it a credible source

Talk sport have confirmed Mcleish in the next 24 hours!

Just get Mark Hughes in now getting bored of this shambles!

Er..It was Hughes who sold Dunne. O yeah, forgot about that! Edited

If Hughes takes over Warnock, Ireland, Freidel and Dunne will happy (I presume obviously). All main stays in teams Hughes has managed previously. Maybe he'll bring back Aaron Hughes, hahaha!

Can you imagine his return to anfield? It would be like Gerard Houllier 2!

Thanks 'The_Rev'!

Does anyone know of any sites that I can use to watch football on my ipod touch? I am struggling to find any searching on google/yahoo but I have heard you can do this. Any help would be appreciated.

This. Makoun will be fine. It would be hard for any player to come into a club and flourish that appears to have several in house issues and that is fighting relegation. We can see that the guy has some great potential which Im sure will be proved more so next season. How long did it take for JPA to come good?!?! Now the guys a villa legend. Juan Pablo Angel - a villa legend???? Errr no ERRRR Yeah, just like Sasa Cucic, De La Cruz, Collymore and Enckelman. These guys all took time to settle and ended up putting the club on the map. Are you joking?. Them players never done a thing for this club. Of course I'm joking. Sometimes people jump on players backs too soon. This guy obviously has talent and as I mentioned earlier its going to take time to settle in, especially coming into a club that from the outside appears to have several in house issues, and is fighting relegation. He was also out of the Lyon team for a while because he was out of favor and I do believe he was injured?!?! Its unfair to judge him so quickly as we have seen (all be it rarely) glimpses of his quality. He'll need a preseason under his belt before we see the best of him which makes me think it may be better to go with Coker in the mean time but that will still leave one/two midfield options available depending upon the formation Houllier goes with and neither Petrov or Delph fill me with encouragement at the moment.

Why we have a song for Paul McCGrath but nothing for these guys is beyond me. Anyway back on topic, Makoun will be fine but I do agree that Reo Coker is probably more suited to play based on our current predicament.

This season Downing looks like he has become even quicker and more dangerous when attacking the full back. As much as people (including myself) have critisised Houllier it appears the work he has done on the training ground with Downing is really helping him develop and Im sure Capello has helped too. Downing has always had the potential, i guess he just needed the right the manager to help him reach that potential. HOULLIER OUT, lol. I also think last season was to early to judge him following his injury. It must be tough for even the most mentally strong footballer to come back from an injury like Downings and hit the ground running. I just hope we manage to hold on to him this summer and build on the quality thats already in the squad as opposed to having to replace it.

Ashley Young must be ill. In my professional opinion he has football'rexia, he looks in the mirror and must see zinedine zidane. Thats the only explanation I have for him not only taking every set piece and messing it up but then still thinking he is good enough to take the next one. FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK OFF

Yeah well done spurs, not always harrys biggest fan but congrats!

warnocks bin class again, got to go to south africa

He needs some WD40 spraying into his joints, he moves so slow nowadays

No no

Yes please sack him and take that silly american tight arse with him. Stupid, pointless post.
