Oh my. I disagree.

I'd definitely have Lowton ahead oh him, despite all his shortcomings. I think he'd have absolutely ripped that chance into the top corner.

Yes, Zog is a good comparison. Sako is probably a more powerful runner, but doesn't quite have the technical ability Zog sometimes shows. Be a lovely signing on a free though, and on probably a third of Zog's wages.

This thread is much higher up than it should be the day after winning a semi-final he played no part in. The attention does show what a good player he is though. I'm sure as Tim continues to improve, he'll see that this man should be getting more playing time. I hope he doesn't realise too late.

Yeah, he was there with a Villa scarf round his neck and going nuts for the goals and full time celebs. Right near me. Great to see.

Green Man before and after, ran into loads of familiar faces, missed the last train home due to still being out drinking the wrong side of London, got back Monday about 4pm. Everyone was brilliant, apart from maybe Richardson, Okore and Zog, but they weren't that bad. Grealish, Delph, Vlaar and Benteke absolutely sublime. What a grand few days.

A giant yesterday.

He's arrived. Fantastic performance. Plays his own game in among the rush of a professional football match. A delight to watch.

I am also in Club. I think I'm at the Villa end of the ground though, had a look at my seat on the Wembley website. There will not be any neutral sitting quietly from me when we score.

Jesus Christ I'm so excited.

We'd be stronger with him in the squad on Sunday. I hope to see him start.

There is still too many unanswered questions about his time here. Bullshit like the assistant managers being sacked. Until they are answered, he will be wholly responsible for the farce that became the playing side of our club. All he ever does is praise everyone he worked with here, so it must have been the majority of his decisions that led to us becoming so so so bloody vile. I'm really glad he isn't here, because we were coming bottom of the league, absolutely no doubt in my mind.

I'll be devastated if Mason comes near this club. Total garbage. And a word removed.

Looking to get a new phone in the next few months. Anything exciting on the horizon people are waiting around for?

Did Dick come on the pitch and confront the players like he said he would?

"Shite off, I'm bigger than you, this is going in." Reminiscent of Emile at Molineux

I'm not a million miles away from that sentiment either tbh. Well, I hope the two of you feel suitably silly this evening. Excellent stuff. With Gil we'd have won 3-0. So ner ner.

This is class.

I'm not a million miles away from that sentiment either tbh. I think that's utterly laughable. If Sherwood keeps us up given the state we were in when he arrived he will have done an excellent job, Gil or no Gil. If he fails then very little leeway will be given. Naturally. What people seem unable to understand is that this is Tim Sherwood's job we are talking about here. He is under no obligation to give a **** what any of us want at this stage, he MUST do what he thinks is right. Even if he is proven wrong. This is the burden a leader carries. Suck it up. He will have done a good job turning us around, but I think most of us can agree out squad is much better than our current league position. I don't think you can divide it that evenly... that he'll have done excellently if we stay up, but given little leeway if we drop. This is more a personal thing to me. We aren't going to be winning anything for the next three or four years, probably much longer, and I like seeing players like Gil appear for Villa. Players who have a bit of ability and can actually play football. They make me enjoy it even if we lose matches. I don't rate Sherwood particularly highly, and I think we're a relatively decent attraction for a lot of managers, even moreso if we were to be taken over. I am not saying I'd rather we play Gil, losing games 3-2, than play others and win 1-0 and stay up, obviously I'd prefer the wins. But here is the major point in my eyes: Gil is currently better than all of the alternatives who are ahead of him in the squad. N'Zogbia, Grealish, Cole, Weimann, Sinclair, he is simply a better player, so seeing them in the team when we are not opening up defences for fun doesn't add up (I am aware we scored seven past QPR and Sunderland A live wire would have been useful against Swansea/West Brom league game). Seeing Weimann and N'Zog on the bench and Gil in the stands is wrong.

pure rubbish. you dont play 200 Premier League games and nearly 10 England caps because of who scouted you and btw he originally played for West Ham before going to United If he had cone He's garbage I'm afraid. Emile Heskey has 60+ England caps and probably 400 top-flight apps. He is also garbage. Some players get lucky.

Sherwood is obviously better than Lambert, but getting Cowans and Jack Woodward in charge would be better than him. I'm not convinced by Sherwood at all, and wouldn't be sad to see him go whether we stay up or not.

If he had cone through Bury's youth team, he'd have spent his entire career in the lower leagues. Luckily for him, he was scouted by Man Utd aged about 10.

I'd prefer Carles Gil stays in the summer than Tim Sherwood if I'm honest.

Westwood a bigger loss.

Clark must dominate Zamora in the air for us to have a chance. Vlaar is a great player but just cannot deal with big targetmen, time to step up Ciaran. Very nervous. For once, I wouldn't take a draw in a game... we need a win here.
