How often has this game finished 2-2 or 3-2? seems like it happens every season!

Richard Dunne isn't slow you bunch of wazacks

I want MON back, Laursen to not retire and Mellberg and Bouma to not leave on a free. I miss those days

Right boys, you have all had enough now, off to bed you go! No more Villa Talk until the morning :winkold:

Of course they came in on high wages and for high fees, that is the nature of Man City.Surely a more relevant comparison would be to the wages and fees at Fulham and Blackburn during his time. Unless you think we are closer to Man City than Blackburn and Fulham.... Yes but its nature of those signings as well that was poor..He ha the whole world to chose from, yet he signed Wayne Bridge, SWP, Lescott??? Its clueless.. He had the opportunity to make Man City the best club in Europe yet he signed poor players on high wages and trans fees. Its what MON does.. We dont need that at Villa...He behind the times on the European stage. He comes in and he could buy N'Zogbia for 10m and stick him on 50k a week..That signing would show NO skill.. Yet Deschamps would come in and sign a player for 2m on 20k a week who would be 3 x better than N'Zogbia purely because he has a wider knowledge of the game.. Hughes is very limited on the European stage, as was MON.. He wont know about the players that are under the table.. Its like Houllier bringing Fofana to the club..OK he may not ever be a great player but Deschamps will do the same and more than like;y the players he brings in WILL be good. The likes of Lyon, Lille, Marseille etc have been selling their top players for mega money to Premierleague clubs over the years.. Nasri, Malouda, Essien, are to name a few.. Yet these clubs still have replacements that come in that become just as good.. I agree with everything except his signings at Man City. If you think about it, yes, Man City had all the wealth they have right now but they didn't have the same reputation. Mark Hughes was signing players to take Man City to the next level which he did. Even teams like Man City have to build 2 or 3 different teams before they can get to where they are now and that's exactly what he was doing. If you can afford to buy Lescott at 20 odd million and you know he is going to be a solid premier league player, is there any point in trying to sign someone for a quarter of the price who may or may not do the same job just because they are cheaper?. At Fulham he signed Salciedo and Dembele who have had good seasons, Dembele in particular had a very good start until his injury.Does this not show a good understanding of the European game?

Frank Rijkaard, oooooooooooops

**** YEAH! Take your league cup and **** off back to where you came from!

I live 2 minutes from White Hart Lane, I can hear the rocket polishers cheering

Alex Ferguson, Match Fixing since 1986. LOVE IT!

1731: A plane carrying the banner 'Avram Grant - Millwall legend' is flying over the DW Stadium... EDIT: Let me correct it for you Mr BBC live updater man

If I was out there now I would run myself into the ground then get back and do it all over again. They really don't seem to care

AGAIN!

I really am missing the days of Mellberg, Laursen and Bouma

Im trying to be positive here but seriously Carew, you miss from 12 yards out Id like you to atleast feel like you owed it to the team to make up for it! ATLEAST **** RUN!

Handball apparently

He surely never pulled that back becuase Barton was on the deck did he?!!

lol Warnock JUMP!!

Dowie really is a clueless clearing in the woods! Do some research before you open your mouth!

Ha ha I spotted that as well, ah bless all he is good for is catching shrimp.

Go on Ozzy, get that bib on my son! Thats it! NO WAIT, wrong hole :/

You gots to have a little faith boys! COME ON!

Come on the BABBIES!!

Ill be absolutely gutted if Ola Toivonen does end up going to Spurs or Liverpool, It think he would be a great attacking option for us either up top or just off the front man.

If anyone wants a laugh, listen to this being debated on Talksport by two people who clearly know nothing about Villa. Shockingly it would also appear that quite a few of our fellow fans don't either judging by some of the glaring historical errors that have been made.
