Re: Aston Villa
 

most teams have a decent youth policy nowadays.....
ours is no better than anyone elses.....we just happened to have a great couple of years when we had the best youth team in england.....as for recently we havent produced anywhere near the number of youngsters who will hit the big time...wes brown will never be a great player because he cannot string more than 3 games together without spending 3 months on the treatment table......he is another "sicknote" like anderton was for spurs and gerrard is for liverpool

:shocked:

We've actually bought someone!!!! Can somebody tell me exactly what position Solano plays in, as I really can't remember :dunce:

Hopefully, he's a central midfielder seeing as McCann has now got to sit through a 5 match ban :mad:

Re: Aston Villa
 

5 - 0!!! :) :) :)

This proves my theory that, while we almost never win away from home, when we do we get an entire seasons worth of goals to go with it.

I thought Leicester were very unlucky though - it's fair to say that Ian Walker was totally unsettled by the idiot (sorry, I mean fan) coming onto the pitch - hopefully, no action will be taken against him (Walker that is).

Other than that, another good day for the Villa (see, I said we could concentrate on the league now! :D

Re: Aston Villa
 

good result for villa......solano was a good player in toonland and i was very surprised to see him leave there.....apparently it was him that asked for a transfer as well.

Re: Aston Villa
 

Apparently Solano asked to leave the Toon because he wasn't guaranteed first team football. Then again, can we, seeing as our midfield has been fairly consistent all season. At least it gives us a bit of strength in depth, which we've definitely been missing (especially with McCanns 5 match ban).

:notopic: but well done to 'Boro last night - I've got a dilemma now for the Carling Cup Final. Do I support the team who beat Villa, or want them to lose? :confused:
