  1. Liverpool - Ha ha Gerrard - Ha ha 6-1 - Brilliant
  2. This is a myth IMO. We lose them because the standard of the average England player is better than the standard of the average Villa player. So when they get called up for England, it's not surprising other clubs want them, because they're obviously playing well. The average Villa player doesnt get a call up for England. Our best ones Benteke had hardly featured for Belgium before we signed him. Now he's getting in the side regularly, he's been linked with other clubs. Do people want him because he's very good and making the Belgium side? Or is this all down to Mignolet/Hazard/Courtois tapping him up? Benteke -> Drogba-like - Hazard to Benteke - Hi Ben, look at my medals, d'ya fancy some too? Jose says hi Being good/being an International footballer is going to go hand in hand with being linked to other clubs. This tapping up stuff is nonsense. Players dont talk to each other about their work invironment? These players have agents and professionals behind the scenes, I hardly think they need Raheem Sterling to go and have words. Sorry - disagree with you
  3. Neither was offering Lambert a new four-year deal. Lerner is quite simply a moron. Moron? DumbF**k more like
  4. I was born in Brum but am not particularly "proud to be British". Having a number of Scottish & Irish friends and having worked with (and still do) a number of Scottish & Irish Colleages mostly on my European travels, we tend to banter a lot and group together as "British". I'm proud to be part of "the Team" amongst all the Germans, Spanish, Italians and Americans who try to "Jibe us" However, I grew up supporting the England national team, as did the vast majority of English football fans. I find this "**** England" stuff utterly baffling, how can you suddenly stop supporting a team you presumably supported throughout your formative years? Ever since its been obvious to me that "Club England" is just a "Money TIT" for Liverpool Man U ( and now Man C) Chelsea Arsenal & Spurs Fans and an embarrassment on the pitch, I can no longer get enthused about such an organisation that alienates its fans. Villa >>>> England, clearly. But the hatred from some is just downright weird. No Clough, Not Keeping Venables, Eileen, Sven, Fabio, McClaren, The Golden Generation, Puting Scoles out on the left to shoe in Gerrard & Lampard..............West Ham/Olympic stadium...........etc I also find it strange that you wouldn't want our players to be happy. Now I don't assume to know Tom Cleverley, but I would hazard a guess that he'd like to play international football. How many players have we lost having been tapped up on England duty by the Sky 5 players? F**K em Tom should sign first, then he should worry later if "that current squad" deserve playing with him
  5. Pray tell - what do you make of Jamie Vardy's call-up? Who is Jamie Vardy?
  6. Honestly, this is nonsense. I know "we don't like" Liverpool, but they harbour incredibly realistic aspirations of qualifying for the Champions League in general. Further, they actually do have the ability to challenge for a title. I know, I know - not a popular opinion here nor one that people seem to accept. They finished **** 2nd last season (2 points off top!) and if not for Gerrard's slip may well have won the league. This season they're 5th, 4 points off CL football despite having lost Luis Suarez and also having had Daniel Sturridge injured for the majority of the season. You add Benteke and a fit Sturridge to their side this season and they're easily, easily top 4. I know we've had league victories over them and recently beaten them in the F.A. Cup semi-final, but it's ludicrous thinking they're only a small step up from us. Hopefully Benteke stays at Villa forever. He's a very good striker. Just don't be surprised if, should he move, he goes to a team like Liverpool. Just want to say LIVERPOOL CAN F**K **F
  7. I'm Born & breed in Brum and proud to be British BUT F**K Englands national team. FA & the deciding clowns are a Bunch of Cockney & North-West brown-nosers. Tom, please sign for us, then one day soon England may deserve you,
  8. A big thank you to Tim, Tom all the staff & Players. We were a side going down under Lambert well before the Hull game. Under Marshall we were going out of the FA Cup too. I'd like to think that A big sigh of relief was already apparent after the WH victory and that everybody thought Soton were already on the beach (like their last few games) and Tim tried to find an easy, less sapping way of seeing out a "lets rest" game, only to find out that Soton were on fire. I hope he takes a "no risk" approach to the Burnley game and that we have a "fit & raring to go" team for The FA Cup final. The players were already showing signs of running on empty against Everton & WH, so maybe a rest AND a wake up call will do us good. Maybe the "High-line" was a test for the Arsenal-style on a big wembley pitch? Let the ball do the work? Anyway, Even another Bad/indifferent day against Burnley wont bother me too much because we are SAFE in the league. The FA Cup is a different ball game so all I want from Tim & the players is give it everything you've got for 90/120mins (+penalties) Lets all hope that Arse take a bruising and battering from Sunderland and that Pulis also plays hard and bruises a few Arse's.
  9. I hope Tim has his FA Cup final team already in his head. Rest them all and play an alternative 11
  10. So Paul, it's all down to Benteke being fit. Style of play, motivation, tactics & team selection have nothing to do with it?
  11. But he was so rubbish it is beyond belief
  12. Sidney Sam? No thanx luxury player, hides when the going gets tough
  13. Are the ARSEnal bottling it? Lose at home to Swansea Weekend loss to ManUre? Fail to break down S'land? Conceed late on to a Pulis inspired setpiece? Not able to handle Benteke, Grealish, Delph or Cleverley?
  14. but those "fans" wouldn't really understand our concept of playing football and having a history, so they wouldnt come to VP
  15. Grey is the new Black Carver is the new Lambert
  16. HulL 1-0 Liverpool F******************************************************************************K
  17. Well his positioning (Richardson) certainly highlighted the possibility of curling a ball through the gap, inside the side where Guzan wasn't covering, from the takers view
  18. Bacuna let us & himself down As for Richardson. What a dumbf**k. if you're there to track the dummy runner then you can afford to join the wall outside the line the goalie sets. Then break off if you need to or stay and make the wall a bigger obstacle (visually) for the eventual taker. The modern ball takes more swerve than one can normally anticipate
  19. ..........ffs I used to be happy that they ignored us whilst we've been shite. But since we (AVFC), Tim, Jack, Benteke........... have become flavour of the week (or two) the so called pundits/experts really are patronizing F**kheads. Charlie (Arse***l Brown-noser - not even a F**king Blu-Noz) Nicholas - comments on "the Liverpool loss" as oppose to "A well deserved Aston Villa win" were so obvious of him only seeing the Bias BBC highlights F**k off Loudmouth Carragher is soon carefull with his words sitting next to a true talented footballer in Thierry Henry. I could go on & on.......... over to you guys.......... feel free
  20. F**k off Liverpool used to be a great club last 15 years no longer a big team the now - no longer a big club
