  1. He was just announced as Head of Football for Jersey I think Ron Saunders might want to top up his pension!
  2. Cowan doesn't like dealing with the first team, happier dealing with the youth
  3. And he has learnt from the best about walking out at difficult times for his employers
  4. Mr Keane has just realised he wasn't good enough or worthy enough to be at a Club like Aston Villa!
  5. Never recovered after getting injured during Big Eck's season
  6. Is this from some inside knowledge?
  7. Why not stick Bacuna on instead of Bent at least he has experience of playing in midfield
  8. Why not Bacuna instead of Bent to replace Sanchez, At Least Bacuna has played in midfield
  9. He looked bulky to me and not in a good way.
  10. Personally I dont like him and think he was overated when we gave him his new contract. Doesnt score too many and doesnt create a lot either. But he is currently the best we have so we have to play him
  11. I think there looked a great player there. He looks slightly off the pace and trying too hard and rushing his passes. We have to remember it took Angel and Petrov a season to get used to playing in England and they didnt turn out too bad.
  12. Neither did Des Bremmer but bugger me we would have been lost without him! Disclaimer: Delph no where near as good as old Dessie
  13. Still have that 8 year old child in me where at the Start of every game we are going to WIn. Experience of Villa though means last 5 mins I shit myself even though we are 5-0 up. I'm enjoying watching the same wonder with my son who is developing his own love for all things Villa.
  14. Looked up Gregory finishes: 7th (taking over from Little), 6th, 6th 8th (He left and when Taylor took over results fell apart) O'Neil: 11th, 6th, 6th, 6th Similar records so my point still stands O'Neil was better than the previous couple of seasons under O'Leary but not one of the best things to happen to Villa.
  15. Not sure about the following: "I thought O'Neill was one of the best things that happened to the club" I thought John Gregory's finished higher than O'Neil ever did, and Little before him did and included winning a cup. Atkinson before that the same.
  16. With England the players have to turn up if selected and the England medical team will see if they are fit to play or not.
  17. 1977 - Open Day at Villa Park and as a 5 year old being amazed that they had carpets with AV on them in claret and Blue. Carpets still there for next Open Day in 1995 1979 vs Ipswich my first game 1-1 draw 1981 - Hearing Villa beat bogey side Boro 3-0, I then believed we would win the League 1982 - Dont have to explain this one, but the whole Euro run especially sneakinga radio into class when they played away in Russia so I could get the score 1992 - Ronnies Miss 1994 - Watching Villa beat Man Utd in League Cup in a pub in Ft Lauderdale 1994 - Xmas game vs Chelsea, Taylor's home debut and he scored won 3-0 I think 1996 - Being there for League Cup Win Being at the Ath Madrid Match. We lost the tie but Villa Parked boomed that night. ONeils first game and Melburg banged in a goal to take lead against Arsenal Sending Coventry Down Bonus of Angels first goals Finally watching the Joy on my Sons face as we went around VP on the tour last week!
  18. Could the club they are talking about for 40 million be wolves?
  19. Remember he was out for the previous season, but when he ghosted past three of the Man City players you had to smile. Personally I dont see what others see in Wieman.
  20. Vassos Alexander who does the sport on Chris Evans Radio 2 show said on Air he was a Villa fan. Think he recently said it was tough being a Villa Fan these seasons so the Club sent him a shirt to cheer him up. Couple more: Dave Wakeling lead singer of the Beat Adam Ruckwood - Former Commonwealth Swimming Champion.
  21. That could be the case as nothing on Villa side to really write him off. We kept this in house and took the flak for not playing him etc. I think Villa played this right, just like Mcgrath suicide attempt never made the papers.
  22. Goto the url in the pic http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29297182 and is about the virus
  23. Took Petrov a year and half to settle and he was only coming in from Scotland and knew the manager well.
  24. To me he looks leaner in the photos now than he did when we last saw him play. Perhaps he has cleaned up his lifestyle in someway (not implying anything!) which helped his re-entry
