Trayvon Martin is America's Stephen Lawrence and will have major repercussions.

missed Utah, Nevada and Maine. But still America is the land of the free. But they have no idea about what free means.

I am not American- but have visited Washington, Illinois, New Hampshire, Vermont, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Texas, Alaska, Oregon, California, Georgia, Massachusetts, DC, South Carolina, New Mexico, Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

It's Villa Park, there's no need to be afraid

At Villa Park, we let in goals which are not repaid

But in our world of defence, we give other teams some joy!

From every corner you can score at Villa Park

But say a prayer - pray for the Villa fans

At Villa Park, it's hard because it's no fun

There's a world outside of training

And it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only goals flowing are against the shirts we wear

And the only bells that ring here are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it's us instead of you

And there wont be goals at Villa Park this christmas time

The greatest gift we'll get this year's a draw

Where no-one ever throws

To a teammate that they know

Do we know it's premier league at all?

Here's to you raise a glass for everyone

Here's to us underneath the Scottish one

Do we know it's premier league at all?

Score a goal (x3)

Score a goal

Cause we just don't give a shit (x5)

Score a goal

Cause we just don't give a shit at all

How is this man the manager of Aston Villa?

Good job we're not a selling club

McLeish is happy with Downing - why?

We are **** - if we dont want to be in the top end of the league, then lets get relegated - games are in general more fun in the lower leagues.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I decided to support Aston Villa - they were innocent times when a club promoted from the 2nd division could win the league and then become champions of Europe.

At the start of every season, I thought my team might win the League. Once they actually did.

Those times are long gone.

The (not really but top four) Champions League changed all that, the power shifted to the players, who could leave at a whim for the chance of playing the Icelandic runners-up in front of a multibillion TV audience.

Then the obscenely rich owners arrived, using a working class game to garner prestige.

The "Champions League" became a self fulfilling prophesy and the fair financing initiative will only go to cement the teams currently involved in it.

Football is entertainment, it is about possibility - when that possibility becomes at best finishing 7th it is devalued.

With this appointment we have abandoned any hope of success and any hope of entertainment.

There seems little point in even supporting the club.

Has he ever produced for Bialystok?

Milner is a Leeds fan and played for Leeds - was offered more money to play for Newcastle - he joined Newcastle, was offered more money to join Villa - he joined Villa, was offered more money to join Man City - he joined Man City. I cannot see how he has a reputation of being loyal - he isn't. He just works hard on the pitch.

Stephen Ireland joined Man City 5 years ago worked hard and wanted to play for Man City, and probably still does, but has been pushed out by big money signings. I know the situation(s) were different, but I think he has a better track record in terms of loyalty than Milner.

In terms of who gets what, I think Milner is pretty much what Man City are missing in terms of a totally committed, hard working midfielder to keep them going during bad patches allowing the real flair players to excel. For Villa we get an actual attacking midfielder who can break down stubborn defences, assuming we play a five man midfield for protection.

Overall I think the loyal label applied to Milner is fatuous and could more accurately be applied to Ireland, however Milner is in form now and I can only hope that Ireland will be up for it and really show the form he is capable of.

The Conservatives, the party for change, have a cabinet including Kenneth Clarke, William Hague and Iain Duncan Smith - what change? Surely old school tory bastards. The Lib Dems have minor cabinet posts and the Deputy Prime Minister whose previous encumnbents were John Prescott and Harriet Harman. 2000 people in 'the city' will benefit but 60 million will not.

Sorry my last post did not make it clear that I think Chelsea have a distinct advantage in the semi final being in London. Prior to the Wembley rebuild it would have been at a geographically neutral venue.

Surely the favourites for the cup are whoever win this game. After Chelsea beat Stoke, this was the best game for us - neutral (if London counts) venue.

What did O'Neill say at half time and why could he not say it before we kicked off?

que sera sera

it's about time

We beat United @ United... Spurs lose at home to Wolves. Glaston's not gonna be a happy bunny.

FFS Manchester United do not perpetuate

I have been a season ticket holder for 40 years and will always support anybody who turns up in a villa shirt but i absolutely cannot support heskey

So you will always support someone in a Villa shirt?

Just not Heskey................

He is not brilliant but there has definitely been worse!!

There have definintely been worse - surely the point

I have been a season ticket holder for 40 years and will always support anybody who turns up in a villa shirt but i absolutely cannot support heskey

Dont feel bad, I dont.

Don't what?

I have been a season ticket holder for 40 years and will always support anybody who turns up in a villa shirt but i absolutely cannot support heskey

57 minutes and 39 seconds - that is when we lost this game

not for villa

If O'Neill still wants him, that's OK with me.
