If he doesn't kick on from here then , it ain't never going to happen . If he is honest to himself he knows he's fortunate to still be donning the claret and blue ,I can only assume .that someone high up at the club had a soft spot for him ,otherwise ,I believe ,he would of been considered surplus to requirements . As it is ,it seems he's now enjoying his football ,under a manager who obviously sees in him something he likes . I remember when he was ripping it up for England U21 and the talk was of the new Gerrard . Fingers crossed ,with a long run of games he can now start fulfilling some of that potential .

Graham Taylor was playing 3 at the back way back when , mind you ,what a decent back 3 it was : God , Mountfield and Nielson . Aston Villa ,leading the way . It was ever thus .

Imagine the worse possible outcome ,that misogynistic buffoon in control of the most powerful nation on Earth . I can see it now . All them inbred red necks celebrating with the burning of books .

Season 4 of Ray Donovan . Loving it . And Mickey Donovan is worth the entrance fee alone ,nice to see John Voight strutting his stuff . " Your a withered tree Mickey " "is that a good thing " . Absolute class .

Rugby players for not celebrating a conversion ,I mean , it is an extra two points .

I prefer the original version ,tbh .

Give it time .

I would rather Sam Barton .

Why stay on a sinking ship ? And lets have it right ,it was sinking .

Dare I say it ,but I would like to see Fabian return ,albeit with a large slice of humble pie . There doesn't seem to be much of a future at Citeh ,and I'm guessing he still has a soft spot for us . I for one ,would love him back .

He's got a fair amount of skill ,but at that level ,not enough to compensate for his lack of pace .

" Very good " .

Okay ,holding on ,that better for you ? It was kind of rhetorical ,but never mind , it's like a man once said : " don't concentrate on the finger as you will miss all that heavenly glory " .

Hanging on for dear life ,which is what we did for the whole of the second half , is not my view of being competitive . I can t accept us not even attempting to be on the front foot , against such opposition ,and I believe our history and tradition demands that attitude ,but what do I know ?

The pioneers of competitive football and you ask me ,what has history and tradition got to do with anything ? Dear me .

Why ask a question if your going to answer it yourself ?

Pass and move ,find space . Where is the difficulty in that ? To watch us getting out played by our bitter rivals ,and resorting to tactics that were akin to the Wimbledon of the eighties was painful . To spend the amount of money we have on players , only to watch them kicking aimless balls up the pitch ,well I just don't get that at all . We are Aston Villa ,bathed in history and tradition . That drivel is unacceptable . PP

To see him giving his all on Sunday ,was for me ,a great sight . No matter the stick he's endured ,and yes ,justified on occasions ,but many a time the scapegoat , one thing that can't be questioned ,for me ,his attitude and honest endeavour ,and that was there in abundance on Sunday . He reminds me of the nutty full - backs of the seventies and eighties .

The lack of cohesion in general play is alarming , I know it's a frenetic occasion ,but come on , at times it was cringe inducing how we just kicked the ball and hoped it found a Villa player . Were talking professional football players , how basic is find a team mate ? Gotta say though : I thought Alan Hutton was commitment personified .

The only language needed on the day ,is a total love and commitment to all things Aston Villa ,that's all .we ,as fans ,ask for .

Always faith my friend , always .

They talk about the Zulus like they were the first multi racial firm , but trust me , it's not so , the c . crew came well before that lot , and we were packed with brothers , a big shout to my old china Black Danny .

Didn't think much of the new Jack Reacher , boringly predictable . The first one seemed much better . Also took in Tarintinos' Hateful Eight as much as I love his work , I found myself thinking when does this bloody end , if I were to name my top five Tarantino films : 5 Reservoir Dogs , 4 Jackie Brown , 3 Inglorious Bastards , 2 Pulp Fiction , 1 Django Unchained . And let's not forget True Romance , although not directed by the man . it was all his script , and what a script : " you happen to catch me in a vendetta kind of mood , you remember to tell the angels in heaven that you never saw evil so singularly personified , as on the face of the man who killed me " . Sheer genius ,with a nod to Christopher Walken .

The audience on the Jeremy Kyle show , why on earth would anyone consider the tribulations of the uneducated , entertainment . For me , it's voyeurism at it's most ugliest .

Should of seen it when they had terracing . There is absolutely zilch that redeems that club ,even though I grew up as a city centre lad with loads of blue nose pals I never felt the desire to spend a spare Saturday afternoon in that shit - hole , it really is a depressing sight . I don't have any bitterness , as such towards them , that's there thing , with me it's pure indifference .
