james milner?

With the supposed funds we have< i think we can now do better. Don't recall him pulling up too many trees at the Barcodes this year

After being soooooo disappointed with today's performace and the Guardian article is great news

I'm older so it has to be Ron Saunders 76 - 77 side. Awesome with Gray, Little, Cropley, Mortimer etc. Beating Arse and Lpool 5-1, the latter won the league and Euro Cup that season. We won league cup and finished 4th in the league. If you look at our poor results on the run in we should have finished higher or maybe won the league.

Whatever. Let's just take the money that the naming rights would obtain and then still call it VP as it will always be called

Tony Butler on Radio WM is dreading it going through. Obviously he's read the Mail and is totally convinced that the first thing Randy's gonna do is sell the ground and build a casino on it.

Plus Randy doesn't talk to fans... the Browns have won bugger all... etc.. etc...

In the 70's Butler was an impressive and inventive broadcaster. he's now pasted his sell buy date and has been for many years. His whole programme is based around slagging people off and critisising someone.

Trouble is there's a lot of fans who probably think like him.

Whatever, just hope Howell is right.

If Ellis sells and MON is appointed I think I'll come on the spot!

Now they have a good 4-5 months to assest strip the club with no-one making waves about actually spending their money on players

Not sure there's a great deal to "strip"

Buy Ashcroft and play him up front with Baros.

Agree................but it won't happen.

In fairness JPA has had know support for much of last season with DV being injured. After chasing his arse for much of Saturday the least he deserves is a chance to form a partnership with MB. That said, I voted for all 3 to play...........dream on!

and if we do spend that £10m or so will people be happy??

I will be, as long as we bring in decent players.

Agree but it won't happen IMHO. Signing Baros would be a start but it won't cover up all the cracks.

Some REAL quality in the midfield is needed and we should be shipping out the mediocrity such as Hendrie who fail to perform season after season

I put no. DV is a great asset for us but I think he lack the "footy brains" to successfully make the international arena on a consistent basis. He has most of the attributes but doesn't use them wisely.

Replacing Rooney against Portugal in Euro 2004 is an example, and not because he missed the crucial pen.Finishing is also poor, only 11 goals in last 56 for us.

Kelly !!!!!!!!!

Also remember it was a very hot day and the Bayern fans were constantly chanting "Argentina" with ref to the Falklands which was ongoing at the time. We retorted with "Royal Britannia". As fans we had a bit of a reputation following on from Andelecht so security was very tight. My m8 not understanding dutch currency paid about £5 (lot of money then) for a can of coke much to everyone elses amusement.

Journey was by coach and ferry and we left the evening before and slept on train. Bit different to today when you'd fly and sleep in a hotel. Happy days

I was there. Gr8 night. Can see me on the video with dodgy wedge haircut and popular (at the time !) burgundy cords and light blue jumper going mad with Pete W scored. Whilst we were delirious after I do remember a sense of anti climax since it was straight back on the coach and we had none of the beer mentioned elsewhere to consume. fantastic memories following on from being at Highbury the year before. We never got the credit we deserved since footy wasn't popular culture at the time
