A splendid away-day awaits, bringing back many memories of trips to the City Ground down the years. Agree with Deano, same team as against Bristol City, but with John Terry in for Tommy Elphick. Agree also with Silhill, important we return home with the points. We are now at the stage in the...

When he first arrived from Everton he was close to being described as woeful. A liability in defense. Far from being the player who faced us in those three League Cup finals, he looked a fish out of water. Then he scored two goals in a 2-0 Villa Park victory against Gornik Zabrze, and he...

Thank you BB. Trust you're well sir. Good thread this. Set me thinking. You're right that in recent history Graham Taylor is arguably the only manager to leave us and enjoy better(?) days. Going back a while, you'd have to say that Joe Mercer departed and embraced successful times and sunnier...

We've appointed wrong guys at the wrong time, managers who were destined to fail from the moment they initially strode through the Villa Park entrance door, mainly due to incompatibility and/or ability issues, the majority arguably simply not up to the task, guys whose appointment had us shaking...

I don't usually like to label present day youngsters currently working there way through the ranks, nor do I think it fair to compare them to heroes from our glorious past. However in this case I think I'd like to make an exception. He reminds me very much of a certain Keith Leonard, the guy...

Very, very interesting. I'm looking forward to following closely (thanks to Jonathan) these Fan Consultation Meetings, to see how they progress and develop, and ultimately of course, how they benefit the club. Which of course they will, of that there is no doubt. Would imagine that they are...

And that Martin, sums it up much better than any of my attempts.

That's the spirit tarzansbrother. November isn't it? The week after derby day. Just in time for Jack's return. I hope he plays a blinder for you. Glamour game indeed. In fact, Villa Park could be in mourning that day, extremely somber mood, if the week before we have had our backsides kicked...

:14: Top Man Silhill, :14: Top Man :35: I wonder how Van would perform in our midfield. I doubt he could be any worse.

I thank you Silhill. Hopefully we'll be negotiating the drive home beneath the cover of October skies (thank you Van) in celebratory mood. May tomorrow night be a marvelous night for a moondance.

Well it's not a jibe tarzansbrother, I don't make jibes. It's either a fact, or it aint. If it's an incorrect remark, I apologise. If it's a remark that rings true, and correctly portrays the situation, then I've nothing to apologise for. There's no need for you to be aggrieved or defensive...

What the hell has Pulis got to do with it? Since when did the manager of West Bromwich Albion have any say or authority over players contracted to Aston Villa Football Club? You've completely lost me. He was completely in the wrong Saturday, reacted badly. Lucky to stay on the pitch. So was...

Do all the exclamation marks mean that I have to sit up straight and pay extra attention to your ramblings holtelower? You ask if I'm trying to wind people up? Wind people up? I've got better things to do with my time holtelower. In ten years on the site, thousands of posts, front paged...

Then do yourself a favour and say nothing holtelower. Another over-reaction will hardly help your cause.

No. I'm not joking holtelower. He's been one of our better performers this season to date. He aint a cretin, a prick, or like some of the other idiots care to address him, 'Girlish', a term they use because I think we're all supposed to split our sides laughing at the hilarity of it all. He's...

No. Coady will not face further punishment. I think we'll miss Jack. I think he's playing well.

Personally I think that Cieran Clark is/was at least the equal of Tommy Elphick and/or James Chester. He's playing in a very good championship team, who next season will be strutting their stuff in the premier league again. It was a very good move for him. The Newcastle support seems to have...

The only positive that I can see so far regarding our signing of Mile Jedinak, is that the guy cannot be as bad as he looks? Hence, surely things can only get better?

I'd hug him and kiss him like there's no tomorrow Sasquatch, if he could guarantee that in return for our intimacy, he'd guarantee a return of ten-fifteen goals this season, accompanied by ten-fifteen assists.

We currently sit 20th in the Championship.......... We're used to being 20th. That was our position for most of last season.
