Even a quote in the Flores story.

Got a feeling it's going be the man of many accents then or FSW

Is the reason Rijkaard left Galatasray was because he almost got them relegated?

If we're giving Ancelotti 48 hours to decide then i believe Hughes is completely out of the running now. I mean we're giving Ancelotti 48 hours which implies to me that we want someone in pronto, Hughes wouldn't be able to join until July 1st.

The reports about Ancelotti not wanting it sound a bit odd to me, it says we haven't even been in contact, i really don't see us not even being in contact about it.

I can see the odds changing on Bob Bradley if the Michael Bradley transfer gets confirmed.

It'd be interesting to see how much Ashley Young and Downing bring in on Shirt sales, that could push RL to push for a big name more to keep hold of them.

I think the reason Rafa rejected At. Madrid was because, firstly hes Real Madrid born and bred and theres the massive rivalry there and secondly, they're selling all there best players by the looks of things. Forlan looks to be off, Aguero and De Gea aswell.

I think that translation means aston villa deny contact with mark hughes and Ancelotti, dunno the end bit

Perhaps Bob Bradley with it looking like we've gone and signed his son?

Confirmed aswell

Surely if Ancelotti does come in Lerner must of told him he'd back him in the transfer window with a fair bit of money.

Just spoke to #FFC about rumours that Mark Hughes has stepped down. Was told: "Not our policy to comment on speculation." #AVFC #straightbat

Just now on twitter.

Wilkins talking on Talksport soon apparently?

If the Hughes story is true about him signing a new contract, then i have a feeling it's going to end up being Benitez.

Bradley looks quite good so far, would like to see him given a chance in a proper lineup.

Sidwells really determined to score against us.

Still don't see the point of Gabby on the left. Petrov dwelling on the ball too much, Makoun not yet used to prem pace hence when defending looks off the pace. Downing playing well, Walker looking lively and Bent getting into good positions.

I would probably bring on Albrighton and Bradley on for Gabby and Petrov in the second half. But leaving Makoun on and bringing on Bradley is probably not going to happen Houillier will probably play it safe and take off Makoun for Bradley.

Bradley's not in the squad.

Did Petrov has his arms around Collins waste then ?

All im hearing from the commentators is Sidwell this and Sidwell that atm

Bradley on the bench?

Not in squad.

wtf?!

Only trained once with the squad, everyone said they expected him to get his clearance wednesday but he got it thursday.

Thank you very much Mr Pantsil

Bradley on the bench?

Not in squad.

You can tell Collins wanted to smash that ball uptop then but Makoun was there

We're closing down well atm, hardly giving them any time on the ball.
