Bloody medyuh.

did he really say we were the 3rd highest spender over 10 years? that is surely just a bare faced lie.

I - We win the league. This season.

Comparing Sinclair and N'Zogbia is like choosing what's your preferred stool sample.

You think? Someone who's played well over 100 Premier League games, by age 23? I think anyone from La Liga or the Bundesliga is costing you the same.

Whether or not you think we should be currently preparing for life in the Championship, or think we can still survive, the fact we have yet to get any business over the line is an absolute embarrassment. There's talk of us releasing Gabby, Sinclair back to Swansea etc... obviously speculation at this stage but I wouldn't be surprised if we end Jan with a weaker squad than at the start of the window. Sigh.

Has Richards actually started a game at RB for us yet? My memory fails me.

Just get an Uber.

AKA; is hideously under qualified for the job and is baffled why he was contacted about it. Joking (sort of) as I have no idea what amounts to good experience when running a football club these days. But given our track record of recruitment in non-playing (and playing, obv) staff under Lerner, one has to assume Hollis will ultimately preside over the dissolution of the club. Also can't help but feel the whole 'he knows Birmingham inside out' spiel in Lerner's statement is a load of bollocks. It doesn't really matter if he knows the city, does it? Probably just a cover as to why we didn't get someone who's been exposed to larger and more significant businesses from London KPMG etc

I feel so sorry for Remi. Has been completely hung out to dry by the board and the senior players. Get rid of the lot, and back him to rebuild us over the next few years.

Happy days http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/aston-villa-pair-brad-guzan-7153637 Aston Villa fans have complained to the club after claiming Brad Guzan and Joleon Lescott both told them to “f*** off.” The row in the second half of the Premier League basement side's 1-1 FA Cup draw at League Two Wycombe prompted skipper Micah Richards to intervene. Richards pleaded with fuming fans behind the dug-out after they criticised subs Guzan and Lescott on the bench for their attitude. The pair, who earn around £40,000-a-week, upset them by have a spitting competition to see who could propel chewing gum closest to the touchline.

oh my god, please stop talking about Benteke, it's embarassing.

Randy Lerner is really, really pickling heads on my save. First season - transfer funds available from sales now down to 40%. Also, injuries. Like, come on. It's ridiculous how frequent they are. That said, am enjoying the game despite some gripes

Benteke coming back to us on loan

Why?

Richardson is a total liability. He can't retain possession or defend. Letting go of Cissoko was a mistake in my opinion, was obviously pony going forward but solid enough defender.

Just started my second season on ML. Up until Jan in my first year I was losing literally every game - every CPU shot going in etc. Had enough of losing, changed formation to 5-3-2, all out defence w/o ball, and managed to finish 15th in the end. If you're playing ML on a hard difficulty and struggling, I'd recommend doing this. PES is becoming almost as intricate as FM in some respects (tactics) - it's so important. Have sold most of our dross, and managed to sign some absolutely class players, my team is now: ---Alcacer---Musa--- ---------Barkley--------- ---Sanchez---Gueye--- --Gaya---------Richards-- --Clark--Stones--Okore -------ter Stegen----- w/ Kovacic, Veretout, Amavi, + many other good players on the bench. Happy days.

Don't think his form has ever been as poor as it currently is. His kicking is Sunday league.

Villa will sign **** anyone apparently. The real question is how aren't we footballers? Carlos Sanchez is an experienced international standard footballer who is a regular in one of the top 10 international teams. I think a lot of our players are good. I just don't understand why as soon as they pull on a Villa shirt, they look like soft Sunday leaguers.

I think our current issue is one of confidence, not talent. If Remi can get the best out of most of our new signings we will stay up. We looked great going forward until Sherwood's baffling tactical decisions & substitutions led to losses, which in turn sucked all the confidence out of the team. Think about how well Amavi was doing before he got 'Villaized', for example. We've got some very talented players in our squad. Let's get behind them and the new manager and hope this club can finally turn a corner.

Ennit. Although seemingly, nothing has.

Few papers reporting we're lining up Christophe Galtier (St. Etienne) as a backup for Garde. Can't access the Sun article but referenced here - http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/10/28/report-aston-villa-targeting-christophe-galtier-as-potential-she/

Couldn't see this posted anywhere, but I thought this F365 article on Sherwood is pretty on point. (Great site by the way, their Media Watch column is classic) http://www.football365.com/news/is-he-a-good-manager-is-he-a-manager

Awful team selection in my view. Very worrying long term, even if we get a positive result today.
