Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a good whatever-time-of-day-you-are-reading-this.
I'm a Liverpool fan visiting from our forum http://www.kopblocks.com. Before every game we try and visit one of the opposing team's forums and ask a few questions on the upcoming match, how your season is progressing etc. in order to try and learn a bit more about how fans in the Premier League view their teams.
I volunteered to come over here and talk to you guys because I've always had a soft spot for Villa and very much enjoyed the way O'Neill had you playing a few years ago. I'd really appreciate it if you could take a minutes to answer the questions, and I'll try and include as many people as possible in the thread on our side when I report back - which, when made, I'll link back. You're all more than welcome to come over to the forum and discuss the game or whatever else takes your fancy - we're always open to fans from other teams sticking around.
Without further ado, I'll get on with it.
Q1: This season marks the third year of Paul Lambert's reign as manager. What have you thought of him so far, and where do you think he could improve?
Q2: How do you feel about how your season has gone in the opening stages?
Q3: What are your expectations for the club in league and cups come season's end?
Q4: With the transfer season having just shut, do you regard your business as a success? If not, what more would you like to have seen done?
Q5: Are there any promising youngsters at Villa Park that could breakthrough this season?
Q6: If you could take one player from your past to improve your contemporary team, who would it be?
Q7: If you had your choice of Liverpool's squad, who would you take; conversely, who would you give away to us?
Q8: Liverpool had a busy summer in the transfer market. What are your thoughts on our dealings?
Q9: Where do you think the game will be won or lost at the weekend? What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Q10: Finally, what do you think the result this weekend will be?
Thanks a lot to those who answer - and especially to your admin limpid for giving me the go ahead to post this - and I wish you luck in your season.
The Scarlet Pimpernel
