I totally agree with this.
To all who say City is a side step are kidding themselves. We all know that THEY will be contesting in finals and competing for the league within the next few seasons. I don't believe we will, unfortunately.
With the money City have available, they will achieve things. Same as Chelsea.
I too always like Hendrie and he had a great amount of natural ability. He was my favourite player in the late 90's and I had him on the back of many of my shirts.
It is a pity he never had the attitude to go with his natural ability though. Too many stories about him regarding his off field antics and injuries played a little part on his downfall as well. I remember when Hendrie was breaking into our first team Lampard was doing the same at Westham, it's funny how both careers took such different roads though.
I think Hendrie gets unfair flack at times from the Villa faithful but everyone is entitled to their own opinion! He gave alot to the club during his career and played for the badge. Make no mistake he has plenty of talant, but he ended up pissing it up against the wall!
I know we've been releasing our kids quite late since Nike has been our kit maker but the delay this season is obviously to give us maximum time to sort out the sponsor situation!
I am really pleased for Gabby to reach the 50 goal mark! He gets some flack at times but his attitude on the field has been first class and that has stood him in good stead! Constantly making progress under MoN, I believe he should also take some credit for Gabby's rise!
I dunno yellow might be good, not overly fussed on Barcelona's yellow shirt though (also Nike).
I think this seasons away shirt would so much better if it was a v-neck!
God, please someone with a bit of computer ability please do this and stop the constant requests!
What is everyone's favourite kit since Nike hooked up with the Villa?
This is quite interesting. Not sure if I like the thought of checks running down under the arms. Although perhaps it'll be a break from the classic look that Nike have provided for us for the last three seasons. I do like something a bit different done with the home shirt every handful of seasons.
It is very good indeed! I get the same Paul Simon vibes that I get from tehir debut, so thats good for me. Not really any fillers on there either man! A handful of great songs!
Indeed I do, living in the past. I'll start typing 2010 in November lol!
Rang Kitbag and the hold up is the printing on one of the three shirts, New Zeland away shirt. So they say they can't release the other two shirts as they have to post all the shirts together, muppets!
