  1. Blackburn was suppose to be my first game however I arrived in London 4 days before and had to do alot of moving around/sorting out accommodation. But now I'm settled and I just got my Wolves tickets today (from Villa official website) Leaving London around 10:30 (Virgin trains, all the other companies were about the same price), get up there around 12, have a decent meal. Go to a pub near the ground a beer or two and then head to the game. Come back to London at night. My mate and I are in the Trinity Road stand, but close to the Holte End for the atmosphere.
  2. Hey guys I arrived in London 4 days before the game and was moving around alot so didn't get a chance to go. However I've sorted out my accomodation and I've booked Wolves tickets, which arrived in my hand today! So I'm all ready to go
  3. Hopefully he players above his ability at Newcastle and we get a good return for him. I'm sure a guy like Kevin Nolan can whip him in to shape. He wouldn't put up with any nonsense/lack of effort.
  4. It's amazing what you can do when you actually have a decent amount of players to choose from for every position! Houllier has had to try new things all season to deal with a shortage of players due to quality/injury. Sure every team has injuries, but I'd say Villa has had shortages all over the park. It felt as if last night he had the players he wanted and he was able to use them the way he wanted. edit: I just read the poll. I can't believe that many people want to sack him. That is incredible. He finally gets some transfer funds and so far he's got a quality player at a great price and poached a quality finisher (pun intended). And hes shipped out the bad wood in the locker room.
  5. I posted a thread 12 months ago saying I was coming to England for a holiday (didn't happen). Well how things change, I'm moving to London in 1 month (from Melbourne Australia). I've marked this as my first game. I've worked out the virgin train is approx 40 quid return arriving a bit early, grab something to eat (feel free to recommend a place), wander around Birmingham for a bit. Whats the best pub to have a drink at near the ground before the game? And is it better to get tickets off the official or ticket exchange? I'm assuming it wont be a problem for this fixture. I'm planning to sit in the upper tier of the Holte stand. I want to be in the thick of the action! - I'm also looking to the Wolves game in March after this one.
  6. Finished 4th in my 2nd year. Stephen Ireland won English footballer of the year. If only that happened in real life. I got Steven N'Zonzi for about 6mil and Oscar Cardozo for 12mil.
  7. I back Houllier because I still like the way the team plays. However the players haven't been there. O'Neill gave us a great base to build from, I won't deny that. Alot of our key players got 1 year older. Alot of our key players have been injured and our depth was massively exposed. You can't judge Houllier until he has a full season or two under his belt. I also like that he has international/french ties, which allowed us to get a guy like Makoun who otherwise would not even consider a team like us.
