Mellberg gave the best years of his career to us and saw out his contract and left for another country because he could never come back to Villa Park as an opposing player. Mellberg is a legend. Barry will be scum if he leaves for a direct Rival and competes to keep us out of the Champions League.

You lot make me sick. Leaving us now to go to Liverpool would be the most traitorous thing anyone has ever done to this club. I will boo him forever, even if he became a coach or a manager. I will never forgive such treachery.

I also like our captain being one of our best players. Reo-Coker is far from that.

I have to say Nick. Spot on assesment. Enjoy the smugness 8)

I was thinking of digging this up, but couldn't be bothered looking for it. No question Luke has more goal scoring talent. He's just wasted it. I doubt Gabby will ever get 20 a season, he's not clinical enough. But I have to say he's done better than I predicted. Carew has done even better than Gabby.

You Villain. I'd love to see people tell my Housmate Ultan from Derry that he's British Anyway enough on the Northern Ireland British or Irish debate....I have to go to work

Q'est ce-que c'est? Last time I checked N.Ireland was part of the British Isles.... Makes him British in my book. Can see where you're coming from though :winkold: No Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. Britain consists of England Scotland and Wales. Ireland Consists of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Also the Good Friday Agreement states that any Northern Irish person can choose to be considered Irish or British. He's Irish, most of Derry are Irish. Also the island of Ireland is part of the British Isles, that make me British ? So endeth the lesson.

People calling Martin O'Neill British pisses me off more. He's Irish, people could at least give him the couteousy of getting his nationality right. Villain is annoying too but I don't see it that ofter to be honest.

I agree with all your points. I'd still give him another year though before we think of saking him.

Of course he should stay as manager. It would be insane to get rid of him now. Failure next season is when talk of getting rid of him would be an option. If his signings this summer fail like last summers batch then he'd have to go. I still can't believe we signed, Knight, Harewood and have gone a season without a Right Back. The big hole in our team for the past few years, a goal scorer has also been left untouched. Or was Harewood the answer? Bottom line only one of MON's signings have had an impact on the team that matches the likes of Barry & Laursen. And that is Ashly Young.

Lost a wee bit on that, but I had a sell limit so it basically sold out of it a few days later at at 2 pound something. Really didn't see them folding, but that was money I had to gamble with, like I've a money on horses at Cheltenham. Gambling is good. I've a spread bet on Wheat prices at the moment, hoping food prices keep rising this year.

House Prices in Ireland are falling too and I'm delighted. They were overpriced by 15-20% anyway this correction is a good thing. This market correction is a natural cycle, we had 5 years of worldwide growth which is the best run markets have ever had. If in 12 months things arn't looking up I'll get a bit worried but for now everything is fine.

World War I was the worst war to be a soldier in having to climb out of a trench and charge machine guns was suicide. So poor soldiers faced a decision charge german guns to your death or be shot by your own for desertion. Everyone who went to war should be remembered regardless of which way they met their death and both were inevitable.

I'm a foreign fan and even I think this idea of playing Premier League games abroad is wrong. I would be willing to take action against the idea. It's just totally wrong, wrong, wrong.

We'll end 6th, but I'd be worried if Spurs win the Carling Cup. That's why I'm backing them for alot of money to do just that, win win. Everton & Liverpool will be ahead of us, City will fall away after the next 3 games, Pompey & Blackburn will be within 3 point of us though.

MON is waiting till Summer to get the Right Back he wants and I agree with him. Mellberg is a better full back than Bouma. We need a Winger and Striker. It's been a very hard window as Sven & Others have said already, Even Avram Grant said it's a crazy window and he can't sign anymore players.

General as a fellow Irish Villa fan I must say that I am very very impressed by the gesture Savman received after the Blackburn game was moved. It is great to see that the club really does care for their supporters. This has really put a smile on my face. We couldn't possibly have better people running the club.

My point is we have no idea what combination of factors were required to create any life at all. Once life is created it can evolve into many things as happened on Earth. But the odds of that specific combination of things to create life could by one in infinity or just one in a billion. We just cant know. It will be interesting to see if there was the existence of Water on Mars. If there is then there is the probability of life existing on another planet in our solar system, so a far greater chance of life existing elsewhere.

I've just done 2 days of debate with close minded religious people in another thread I can't do "Is there life on other worlds?" I'll just give this thread one post and thats it. If we can exist on this Planet then life can exist on any number of other planets. But since the exact combination of facors needed to create life is unknown and hence the odds of life existing given X amount of planets in the universe is also unknown. There is every chance life exists on millions of planets and there is every chance we are the only planet to support life. We cannot even give an educated guess as we have nothing to base that "educated guess" on. So we have as little factual basis to base opinion on as Religious people have to base God on and so I can only say. I havent got any idea if there is life on other worlds so won't pretend to know. But I'd like to think there is life out there, the same way I'd like my lottery numbers to come up

I don't think you care though, gabby can score all he wants while my computer is buffering

Ridgwell was alomist the hero but Gabby denied him on the line. Gabby then out jumps Ridgwell to become the hero of the game for the Good guys. Hero.

Carson looked good with a couple of saves too. I think for a young keeper he's very solid.

Ahmen to that.

Time to Celebrate lads.

One thing to note from this game. Ahsley Young should not take free kicks or corners.
