Great soccerball review

If he doesn't sign it's his choice. It's a funny old game. He's young and been offered the chance to play in the prem. He has no allegiance to us. If I was his age and not a Villa fan I'd have done the same. Yes the timings not good but I blame Fulham for that. Onwards and upwards.

Roll on this time tomorrow.

Ok. So I've held off with sharing this info but it's time to get it all out there. I read this and did a sex wee.

Liked because I agree. Not because I like.

If we can learn to love a former bluenose then we can love Henry

My pants can't take much more of this

That you Steve?

Well now we've been taken over (pretty much) I wonder what other surprises are in store. It's so stressful/ exciting keeping up behind the scenes. Thank fudge the football's so dull. My heart really couldn't take it. Bruce in

Doris- grab the biscuits. You ain't going anywhere sweetheart.

Been supporting Villa since the late 80's and my apathy for the club I love grew once Lambert came on board and we seemingly lost every week. Finally we got relegated which we fully deserved. My belief grew again and - I admit - i enjoyed the championship- not the same old "Chelsea's, United's etc" and we were a force again, a club to be respected and feared. But guess what we are there again Villa the gift that keeps kicking you in the guts just when you start to believe. Now it's found a new way of doing it. Unearth a genuine, potentially amazing talent, Villa through and through and sell him not because he wants to go or because we have an offer too good to turn down which can be invested in strengthening the team. No, because once again we haven't learnt, we effed up. Thanks Villa and more importantly thanks Xia for not giving a crap about us fans who sweat blood for this club.

If Jack goes I'll be gutted. It's not just about the sale but the reasoning behind it. It's incredible how far we have fallen. Despite of that I hope he reaches his potential as he's villa through and through.

Gabby got a spirit level.

Got to feel for my 7 year old son. His mum come back from Spain yeaerday with full spanish kit for him 30 euros (80 euros just for Barca shirt!) Wore it for the Russia match. Doh!

I meant height

Alan Wright with hair.

Dr Do little at the moment.

Have to agree with this. Its a fine line between success and failure but you also have to think about what you have to lose as well as win.

So I'm taking a deep breath and a break. My son is really getting into football so we are going to watch the world cup and enjoy it. Hopefully with England doing us proud (ha!) My sons 7 so will be no doubt supporting the team that wins and the coolest players. I like that philosophy at the moment. Enjoyment. I'll always be Villa. Thought it would be hell in the championship but I've enjoyed it. Moreso than a couple of seasons ago when we lost 8-0 to Chelsea followed by 4-0 to Tottenham over Christmas and if I'm being honest the thought of that happening again should we have been promoted was on my mind. Whatever crap is going on at the moment will still happen and be resolved so I'm not going to worry. Of course I hope we come out of this stronger as we all deserve it. We are a giant! UTV. VTID.

Seems Jack may save villa in a way none of us saw!

Well I always get bored during the off season with not much villa happening. Maybe won't be the case now!

Can't we just have HMRC as our new sponsors?

Wouldnt swap him for anyone. He's Villa.

Have to say I'll miss the championship if we get promoted. It's been a rollercoaster but it's been amazing to see the team grow and gel together. Always find it a strange scenario that players bust a gut to go up and many of them won't be taking the next step.
