The liverpool team talk wont be difficult will it , go out and score in the first 8 minutes at all costs , pretty much guarantees in fighting between fans

Why should people put aside their own opinions? I'll be sat in my seat at 3pm as usual , others should do as they see fit as well

Man from stoke in criticism of Birmingham shocker The Villa own Staffordshire too! Seriously though, how can anybody write negative stuff like that and believe it!? The last comment is golden - "I may have gone too far with that last comment, sorry". Jeez, it was fairly tongue in cheek ya know! Though Birmingham is a shithole, just as Stoke is although I'm not from Stoke, I'm from Newport which is probably the biggest shit tip of the lot I had realised[emoji6]

Would be highly amusing , 2-2 draw with all the goals in the first 8 minutes

This is getting silly , someone will end up looking a 'Pratt' , something fishy going on

Unfortunately i go to villa park every game to support the team , i fail to see how anything like this will have any positive effect , especially on saturdays result , i wont be taking part

Reading a story this morning on MOM , that we are bringing a director of football in , any opinions?

To be fair oneill was appointed by deadlyOneil signed because Ellis was going. He came cos he knew Ellis was off. Although Ellis was here when he signed. I know that oneil had been approached by Lerner and his team and agreed deal. Don't believe me if u don't want to but we had contact with lerners advisors and dinner with them night before takeover was announced officially. But yeah in a roundabout way Ellis signed oneil. Doesnt change the facts my friend , ellis was chairman for the first 6 weeks of oneills tenure

Possibly as disaster bringing in a manager with no premier league experience at this stage of the season Yes, heaven forbid we should get lumbered with someone with no PL experience like Pochettino or Koeman. As they would come here of course , we would end up with someone like pepe mel My point is the whole 'must have PL experience' is an absolute load of tosh as is proven by the foreign managers currently in the PL doing a good job even though they had never managed in this league prior to coming here. My point would be how many of them came into this environment , no money , failing team , 15 odd games to stay in the league , i'm not casting doubt on foreign managers , i'm saying i think it would be a mistake in these circumstances We have some money, not a fantastic amount granted, but we have some. The reason the team is failing is because we have a very poor manager, it is as simple as that. 15 games equals 45 points to play for. A decent football manager employs the skills of being a decent football manager not the skills of being a decent PL manager. We will have to agree to disagree then my friend

No not at all , he has been poor but still instrumental if we are to stay up

Wether he is worse than Ellis is pretty irrelevant to the current situation .Lerner is destroying this club , on and off the field , time to back or sack the manager .This needs sorting out quickly before we become the next wolves, i have no confidence in coming back up if we do go down with Lerner at the helm.

I know nothing about him so my expectations are pretty much zero, but the 8 appearances for Valencia is because he's been on loan at Elche for two seasons (and made 64 appearances for them) So it's not like he's been sat in the reserves at Valencia for 2 years. No i accept that , half of them for Elche would have been in division 2 as well , the point i was trying to make is that some people put huge expectation on players after seeing a few clips of them , when in reality i suspect he is pretty much unknown to most of us.

Probably best for all parties for him to move on

Expectation of this guy already way too high on here , i believe he has only ever made 8 first team appearances for the valencia team

Fair point

Gil has only started 2 out of 17 league games for Valencia , so maybe not that great

The online ticket office has been down all day , really not helping matters

about 12k i think I'm sure i remember playing SHA at villa park in the late 80's early 90's in the simod cup and there being about 7k there , think it finished 6-0

The reality is that all Lerner will see is that we are 12th in the table , so in lerners eyes he is doing the job asked of him , he doesnt have to watch the woeful football , Lambert isnt going anywhere until at least the summer.

Look, we had 14 attempts today, that means we DO create. What we are not doing is finishing. Benteke was part of that problem today but he is hardly the only one. Shooting from distance and crossing in the box is not creating good chances. We created one good chance today. To be fair we made 3 or 4 good chances today , it was more telling that Benteke was beat in the air lots today What were the good chances we created? alan hutton 1 on 1 first half , bacuna free kick first half , gabby header over 2nd half , benteke blazing over from pull back , cleverley deflected shot , bacuna free kick 2nd half Nice to see someone watched the game. Not close enough it seems. explain the not close enough comments , they are facts , they happened , i also missed the header in the second half that went just wide from the corner
