No. You complain before the transfer window is slammed shut.

No I think you made that one up yourself.

Complain again. They might score another

If a tree falls in the forest, could you come up with something more coincidental?

matrim

It's bloody annoying to watch. We've Carew and Heskey up front who are both bigger than their center halves, but we don't seem to be trying to get the ball up the wings to put in crosses for them.

They both keep having to drop back to get the ball

No but thats not the point is it?

It's exactly the point.

I'm hopeful that Villa can pull through this joke of a pre-season and reach our potential. But that's far more likely to happen if the fans make reasonable complaints heard, rather than just smiling and nodding.

Time Magazine

Lol, awful defending.

Helix

lol

2 shots in the tournament, 2 goals

big improvement since nrc moved into the middle and albrighton came on

matrim

Go on carew

You're right, I'll refrain from commenting on the match from now on. Sorry for bothering you.

We'll see if they can finish it out now?

Not everyone wants to have an 'its not alright now, but it might become alright attitude' like you.

I've done years of negativity and pessimism as a villa supporter and you'll be amazed to hear it's pointless.

Yeah. Done that too. 5-0 away defeats had a few of those thrown in for good measure

I'm not.

Now we're talking

Bounty Hunter

does this score line put Villa through? get in Young

Helix

3-1

as it stands we're through

best bit of football ive seen us play for about 8 months

matrim

Good play Albrighton and Young

Time Magazine

We have Young, Downing, Milner and then Albrighton and Bannan on the wings. Petrov, Reo-Coker, Sidwell and Gardner in the middle. Heskey provides competition with Carew, and then Gabby faces competition from 4-5-1, the addition of Tuncay would be great but not even all that necessary. So if Tuncay were to cost £9m, using the numbers above and assuming we sell Homer for about £3m, we've about £25m to spend on defenders.

Haangeland - £10m
Distin - £4m
Warnock - £4m + Shorey
Leaves about £7m for a RB.

Come on MON, get the finger out.

Edit: good to see an Irishman in the claret and blue again. Go on Shane.

i believe its very possible for Villa to still get the players in that are needed as youve outlined however a CM is def needed as far as im concerned.
