this. ruins my weekend, dont watch MOTD either

did you see 'arry wobblyhead on sky sports news yest going on about the guy who died this week. spurs legend billy davies i think he was, but arry said yeah he was great in the 61/62 double team. I have a huge dislike of spurs but even i know their double was 60/61; good to see 'arry knows his stuff about the team he manages. knob

stoke at home 2 -2 the season before last has been my biggest disappointment in recent years. I think we'll get a draw or lose by the odd goal. we're 25-1 to miss a penalty tonight. might be worth a £5!! petrov looked like a rapid veinna player had tied his shoelaces together so hope he wont be on pen duty tonight...

mac got knifed

this. 100% this. why are we resting players for the best tournament we play in - we aint gonna win the league, the fans love the european nights, im sure the players who were rested would be up for a euro adventure but no; we're saving them for the third league game of the season in case they are tired. where is the fecking logic in playing 38 games and despreately trying to stay in eurp places to then play the reserves? i can see 4th place is the ultimate goal (sad and ironic i know) however the contempt we show this tournament and the opposition = exactly what we've got. I think KMac is a decent man but unless he has been told from above not to play his best team, why the **** isnt he. And as for the penalty - i would have bet my mortgage on him missing that, Petrov hasnt stuck a ball cleanly in 4 years at VP

This. Its been heading this way for a few years and add to it people like maschrano sulking and not playing because he didnt get his way sums it up. football is best enjoyed on espn classic and the 80's games when pitches were bare, it was cheap to go and the payers didnt earn much more than the fans (im 34, i cant comment on the 60's when they all had summer jobs so bear with me). I'm the same as the guy who posted this, i really want to be excited but im full of apathy. not because villa are no longer dear to me or i'll be a nervous wreck every time they play as that will always be the case, but because its ruined. i posted last year that we'd look back on 2009/10 season in 20 years as a measure of success and i think we'll not have a season like it again for a while. we'll never win the league and i doubt we'll be relegated, a cup final is what we need to aim for and if we spend all year trying to get into europe lets not rest players after one league game when we do get there! UTV

DO give up the day time job! These are QUALITY. No more sleep for you tonight then if we're lucky. Nice one! cheers Doug, feelin the pain of no sleep now mind you!!

Couldnt sleep last night so ended up thinking about new chants - came up with a load - what do you reckon!!?? UTV "Adams Family" His hair it needed shearin, his nans kept disapearin, his underpants we're seein, the ireland family... "she'll be comin round the mountain" Ash is comin on a webcam every night, ash is comin on a web cam every night, ash is comin on a webcam, comin on a webcam, comin on a webcam every night. Fiesta - by the pogues There was an irish-man called steve, who played for city but had to leave, he came to villa to get his chance, and if he scores he'll be showing us his pants ...da da dada da da dad a da ec etc then Villa "My old mans a dustman" Ashley young is magic, he wears an England cap, he plays for aston villa and beats them round the back He'll score them with his left foot, he'll score them with his right And when he plays the city, he makes them look like shite War - Edwin starr WAR nock de de who does he play for He plays for aston villa sing it again x 2 He's not on the bench, he's not on the be ee nch, steven ireland, he's not on the bench... Robin Hood Albrighton, albrighton running down the wing... Albrighton albrighton hear the villa sing Scores with his left, scores with his right Albrighton, albrighton, albrighton "that’s amore" They are big and they're mates and they come from the states it’s the keepers. prob needs a second verse! Delilah - Tom Jones - cos he's welsh James james james, james collins, la la la la la la x 2 To "Dion, Dion Dublin, Dion Dublin in the air" Dunney, richard dunney, richard dunney in the air... "New York" Start spreading the news, he's playing today I want to see his underpants, Ireland, Ireland if he can score from there he'll score from anywhere its up to you ireland Ireland de de de de de He's here, he's there, he's got no **** hair ireland, ireland... At the bank m'lord, at the bank At the bank m'lord at the bank at the bank m'lord, at the bank Oh milners at the bank... Slower than me, he's slower than me ee ee, gareth barry, is slower than me...

to the tune of islands in the stream by kenny rogers. got a verse but struggling beyond that!! irelands in our team, milners in the squad ireland wants to play milner counts his wad

surely something by the pogues would be good for the irish link - like fiesta? only needs a line or two abouthim and dunney and could be ten minutes of de de de de de etc etc !

pity its not a sat kick off - ive been the last few years and newcastle on the piss after trhe game is a great night out. good ground smack bang in the city centre, prob favourite away trip

its very easy to replicate the noise by just making a nasaly shout. just for a laugh when we play away at the grounds its banned we should all just do that. (i hate them by the way and think anyone with one in VP should have it snapped in front of them)

this is you being ironic right?!

ITV & Football = Tactics Truck Kevin Keegan European Cup games with Ally mcCoist and Townsend leaning on a table, yes a table theyve brought pitchside Wanky commentators eg; reading at l'plop in FA cup last year "church (a reading player), here at one of the cathedrals of football" - i wanted to kick my tv in. adverts trying too hard, generally arse licking the "big 4" all in all its a no brainer.

i used to deliver newspapers to big ron and bert millichip in barnt green

very hot pizza, big mac, crisps - i could eat 5 bags a day and not think twice. was in hospital last week with a food bug and all i could eat for 2 days was digestives. forgot how good they were. nw im eating meals again but havent cut out the two packs of digestives in between meals. and its too hot to go to the gym. not a good combo.

i agree completely and feel sorry for Luke Young who I think did brilliantly at left back all season a couple of years ago. He must wonder why he joined and wont be here next year if he has any sense.

"non" sending off was the big decision but would guarantee we'd have won it. I thought it was a good game, particuarly first half and we looked nervous which led to thier goal. Utd have been there and done it and looked composed, we tried a bit too hard at times and didnt have the composure we needed. Gabby was MoM for me, milner close second. We had our chances but didnt take them but to be fair they didnt either. 96 we got fourth place, league cup win and FA cup semi final. Lets swap the league cup for the FA cup this time. Bit of a shit weekend all round though with the league results but noone said it would easy!! I thought we'd get a uefa spot for being runners up too but apparently not?

couldnt happen to a nicer team. I think looking at the fixtures 4th place should really be between us and liverplop but i cant see us having the legs come the end of the season. I think we have man city one from the end, wouldnt it be great to be going to see Gaz Baz as carling cup holders and fa cup finalists!! Did you see one of the posts on the citeh website - "gareth barry runs like he needs a shit" Ive thought that for years!

i think if we cant beat blackburn at home with a one nil head start then we dont deserve to go to wembley. if we get through my dream scenario is a gareth barry own goal off his fat arse in the last minute to win it!!

God he doesn't look right without the tach! he looks like russ abbott, and dom you looked like your weight flutuated about 4 stone on your tripover - you go chisled jaw and cheekbones to fat head (i have one of these) to cheek bones again!

i thought we passed the ball about far better tonight rather than the hoof but i would still like to see petrov do something with the ball when he gets it. He comes back and begs collins, carlos, etc for the ball and then passes it straight back to them - he must have done that 20 times tonight!! Delph looked like he wanted to get the ball and turn and turn at run at the defenders at least. Gardener was awful - couldnt pass, i dont think he knew where he was supposed to be playing and the touch straight off the pitch from a throw in summed it up. Positives, good gabby contribution, great cross milner shouldve scored from and great goal. Delph looks good too and collins is the business i have to say, had boothroyd in his pocket the whole game and he's a big bloke. Negatives - carew looks out of sorts and seemed to be hanging around in left midfield half the game, when we did break there was no one to cross to. Overall, good passing particuarly the move for the pen, downside in general we take so long to attack and still dont appear to have anyone creative in themiddle to put a killer pass through. Cardiff fans scared the shit out of me by the way outside the ground, havent seen that many congregated since the blues game in 2003 when they won 2-0 and dublin got sent off. loads of 'em!!

how about a new version of blaydon races... brad friedel, rolls the ball to davies, davies on to stilian and out to jimmy milner, jimmy milner down the line like a torpedo, throws the ball up in the air to carew the holte end hero

shall i not post my chants to the tunes of elton john's greatest hits then? yes its very gay even if i think its quite good meself!! back to the drawing board
