Here we go...

Because we didn't want to keep him in the squad for 7 years, pay his wages, and wait for him to become good?

I'm not really sure what Tonev has to do to be given a chance. Weimann is consistently shit and plays most weeks. Why buy Tonev if you never plan on playing him?

Playing through Hotline Miami. Very very good game.

Watching Cloud Atlas sporadically. **** bonkers but actually really enjoying it. I will have to watch it in one go soon and pay more attention to what is happening.

I will only believe it's MM when I see lots of exclamation marks.

The important thing is to try and win one of our remaining games and not worry about other teams. We could go down if we fail to pick up any more points, we may not. the key thing is to worry about us. Nobody else...for now.

as much as i love the idea, and the picture, Zidane will likely end up as the next Real manager if Ancelotti gets the chop.

Would take a draw right now but can see us losing this. Especially if we start out playing for a draw like we have in the last 3 games.

What about Nil Lamptey or Bosko Balaban?

To be fair, Martinez' Wigan looked very inconsistent and he never looked to hit the stride. Hindsight is wonderful thing. As soon as Martinez has to replace the GK and defenders Everton will struggle. Going forward Martinez's teams are very good but defensively a bit of a mess. Having Coleman, Baines, Jagielka, Distin and Howard is an excellent starting point for any manager. Then you have Stones in there as well.

As much as I think Moyes would do a decent job for us I would like a bit of a change. Someone like Yakin over another Scotsman would be ideal.

David Luiz injuring all the Chelsea players. Not ideal as chelsea have to play Norwich and Cardiff.

We would never get Klopp anyway. He won't go to United, that's pretty much nailed on for Van Gaal. Spurs will end up with Pochettino and Southampton will probably appoint Lambert once we've sacked him and brought in Moyes.

Usmanov please. Then he can turn us into a filthy rich club that hoovers up the best players in the world with little to no morals. Mwah ha ha ha.

IMO whether we keep Lambert or not (if we are taken over) will depend on who is put in place above the manager. Hopefully we will get someone with a lot of experience in as CEO.

Nice through ball from Sessegnon there.

I'm not too sure why some people are miffed by the Admin 2nd post about another bidder. It's not like he has said it was Davis/Simpson but now might be off. That would cover his/her back. 2 parties have been suggested, either of which would be better than Lerner.

‘Broke’ the Culverhouse after Trent mentioned something on here. Have we been bought then? Got nothing right off his own back yet. I think the Lerner statement shows we are going to be taken over. Exactly. It would have been denied by now if something wasn't going to happen.

2-0 Man City after 10 minutes. Good start.

Club Pld GD Pts --- 1 Liverpool 38 56 87 --- 2 Man City 38 64 84 --- 3 Chelsea 38 44 82 --- 4 Arsenal 38 24 76 --- 5 Everton 38 23 72 --- 6 Tottenham 38 2 67 --- 7 Man Utd 38 16 62 --- 8 Southampton 38 6 54 --- 9 Newcastle 38 -18 49 --- 10 Stoke 38 -10 47 --- 11 C Palace 38 -18 43 --- 12 Swansea 38 -5 40 --- 13 West Ham 38 -12 40 --- 14 Hull City 38 -10 39 --- 15 West Brom 38 -14 38 --- 16 Fulham 38 -40 37 --- 17 Aston Villa 38 -20 36 --- 18 Sunderland 38 -22 36 --- 19 Norwich 38 -29 36 --- 20 Cardiff 38 -37 30 This is what I predicted. Will be very nervous until May 11th, when my nervousness will replaced with rage or delight. However, hopefully we can get 2 points minimum from our next 2 games and then we should be ok.

The important bit is about keeping us in the league. If, after all the cost cutting, we are relegated, it would more or less mean that the last 2 years has been for nothing. We need new ownership regardless of what division we are in next season.

Villa fans want us to become a top 6 side, that wont be a possibility with Moyes in charge. When he can't break into top 6 with Man Utd, how the f*** is he going to achieve that with us? Please tell me, because I don't have a clue. He broke into the top 6 with Everton, a side far more comparable to use the Man Utd are. After a quarter of a century of Fergie and unprecedented success no one was ever going to succeed at Man U this season, regardless of whether their name is Moyes, Mourinho, Kloop or anyone else you care to mention. With Man U success had to be instant, with Villa it would need to come over time and be built up, just as Moyes did at Everton. Personally I'd be dancing on the tables if we got Moyes as manager, although I don't honestly think for a second we'd be able to. I predict lots of Villa fans throwing their toys out of the pram when we don't get Kloop or Guardiola. Augustus Kloop?

He's got a good eye for a player and Everton were very good under him. With a bit more backing he could do really well for us. I think the Ferguson factor would have scuppered most managers TBH. I think that someone who would have succeeded following Fergie would have been Ancelotti, but for some reason they opted for Moyes. I think Woodward should be under a bit of pressure as well.

Wouldn't say no to Moyes. If we went down we should try and get him in to help him rebuild his slightly dented reputation. All this talk of Klopp is a bit much IMO. I can see Simeone going somewhere in the summer, with Klopp potentially poached by Atletico Madrid. We'd need to have owners who were willing to spend £200m on new players to get someone like Klopp in. Athough I can dream.
