Did us a favour in sending him off. Pity he couldn't get an automatic 20 game ban

Totally useless

but according to most people on here he had a good game except for a rush of blood to head

That's because we have no standards anymore.

I'm still annoyed that Luke Young was sold. I don't know how long was left on his contract but we should've made him see it out. London is 80mins away on the train. We seem like an easy touch at times.

Hutton is probably on lower wages. We made quite alot on Young (£1.5m, £2.5m?), and clearly McLeish rates Hutton. Young wouldn’t sign a new contract and so entering into the last year of contract it made a kind of ‘sense’.

hutton is younger, although i liked young, but if a player doesnt feel happy, you cant make them play (look at that player we bought and sold within the same day to everton many moons ago)

i dont blame young, but his heart was set on london, nothing we could do

The departure of Young in fairness to McLeish was already agreed prior to his arrival at the club, Houllier agreed to let him leave before he became ill.

By the time McLeish arrived a the club Young had already moved his family back down south and when the QPR bid came in McLeish honoured the agreement made by his predecessor.

I don't understand the reactions in this thread. Yeah he has remained poor overall, but he was pretty good at Arsenal. He fits in the system with positive football where we bring the ball forward instead of hoofing it. He lost his head in the last few mins but imo that showed abit of passion because he was pissed off when Arsenal scored the second after we played so well.

I think after the horror tackle on Shane Long everyone jumped on him and now has this 'thug' reputation, plus he was playing poorly so fair enough for the criticism.

In the last few matches though he has started to look decent, not great but I don't think he deserves the continued abuse. I think he will prove to be a solid squad player over the coming couple of seasons.

He's shite. His game will never fit any Villa team that I love ffs Mcfuckoffnow signed him, that's more than enough for me to know how bad he is.

The back 4 of him, Collins, Dunne and Warnock are the worst combination that I can remember absolute rubbish.

This muppet will be straight back in for the Chelsea game, along with the other shite that have let us down all season as Mcfuckoffnow can't help himself.

Aston Villa: Injury update as Hutton promises there is more to come

By Mat Kendrick

Dec 29 2011

ALAN Hutton has appealed for patience from the claret and blue faithful as he strives to kickstart his Villa career, insisting: “I’m only human”.

Hutton returns to contention for Saturday’s New Year’s Eve trip to Chelsea after missing the Stoke draw because of a one-match suspension.

Villa also hope to welcome back Darren Bent at Stamford Bridge following a three-game absence after a scan on his groin revealed nothing untoward.

Emile Heskey’s Achilles problem is also less serious than first feared and he could be available for Saturday or Monday’s home match against Swansea.

Hutton’s sending-off for two bookings in the defeat to Arsenal last week summed up a testing first half of the season for the Scottish international.

He has been searching for form since his August 31 deadline day switch from Tottenham for a fee believed to be £3.5 million. He faces a tough task regaining the right-back berth at Stamford Bridge after his replacement, Carlos Cuellar, impressed in the role.

But Hutton is confident supporters will eventually see the best of him after admitting it is hard to adjust to new surroundings.

“Sometimes it just takes time for people to settle in, become comfortable and build up their confidence,” he said.

“Hopefully that’s starting to happen now.

“I think it can happen where supporters forget players are human beings and think we’re mechanical, but I can understand why.

“They pay their money and they want to come and see the players on a Saturday playing to the best of their ability.

“For different reasons it doesn’t happen every week.

“But at this club, at this level we’re playing at, we’re expected to perform week in, week out, so I can understand why people get annoyed.”

Hutton cites fellow new boy Charles N’Zogbia’s recent improvement as the example he can follow for Villa.

N’Zogbia struggled to settle during his first months at the club but his performances have been better lately.

It was difficult for both players early in the season as they had to get to know each other’s games on the right.

N’Zogbia has since switched effectively to the left flank, while Hutton lost his place at right-back last week.

“We can help each other,” said Hutton. “That’s what happens, it’s partnerships.

“It’s getting to know each other’s games. It’s the first time we’ve played together. I can help him, he can help me and we can hopefully become a great partnership.

“He’s definitely been getting better and he’s a great talent. You can see it in training and you know from his performances at Wigan and Newcastle that he’s a top-quality player.”

Even though he is now 26 and an experienced international and Premier League player, Hutton insists he is still learning.

The former Rangers, Tottenham and Sunderland defender regularly watches the world’s best right-backs to pick up tips.

“Of course I do,” he said. “I’m 26, but I always want to improve as a player.

“You see these big European games and finals or big international games and, of course, you’re watching the top players in your position and how they’re playing and reacting to different situations.

“I want to become better. You’re always looking at other players and saying ‘He’s done that, but I would have done this’.

“And you’re always trying to look at other people’s performances and your own performances and trying to become better.”

It's about time he realised he is just piss poor.

That is a bollocks excuse

It is not about "forgetting players are human beings" it is about players actually being professionals. He is actually just not very good at all and at a time when money is scarse at our club a total waste of it
