So here we go. Hold tight on the upper deck.
Aston Villa’s form has been rotten for some time. A quagmire of losses and draws that have had their support almost too despondent to even rustle up a McLeish out campaign of much conviction. They odds are they won’t get relegated, but this by default. Thankfully for villans, there is some 24ct. rubbish beneath them.
I’ve ruminated and cogitated over what to do about Danny Rose. My decision was to drop him and draft in Half Nelsen. I don’t rate either but based upon Danny’s last two showings Nelsen edges it by a clean 5 IQ points.
My guess is Arry will look at the threat of Agbonlasnore, Insomnia plus The Wardrobe On Wheels that is Heskey and he’ll risk running Rose out again.
The wisdom of us loaning out players either being contractually unable or disinterested in retrieving them is likely to cost us. Kyle Walker is taking an injection so that he might play with a broken toe. Classy.
Did anyone catch the presser from Arry today?
‘I’m pleased and privileged to be at a club like, managing one of the top clubs in the country, & one of the top clubs in Europe. *beep beep – caution – vehicle reversing*
He’s something else that boy, eh? On his way out the THFC restaurant without paying it was all, the service is lousy and the food was off. Well, traditionally mid-table… now he’s stuck with us, we’re the cream. It would be funny if it were anyone else’s club.
If I’m being mean, name me one other manager who comes out with silage like this? Even Ian Holloway, yes even Holloway doesn’t enrage his own fans.
Our performance against Bolton was inspiring. No two ways about it. Sandro The Beast must play again. I’d love Ade to add to his already respectable tally. All this and much , much more await us on this, the Aston Villa Wheel of Fortune…
Eye catcher bets courtesy of Boylesports include a 0-4 win at 28/1. Eunice as Anytime Goalscorer is 11/2. Spurs to be 0-2 up at Half Time, to win 0-3 Full Time is worth a ponder at 50/1 and that one is my bet.
Rosy was anything but against Bolton, but it seemed to me his colleagues saw the nerves and were quick to help, especially, oddly, Modric and Ade. I think he’s got the basics, just needs more time at this level. Bale ought to have been backing him up, of course, but did not — or not enough — so Harry needs to drill this responsibility into Wonderbale and all ought to be well. Another 4-1 would be pleasant, coupled with one of Norwich’s away-game surprises, a win or even a draw at the Arse.
Normally Harry you stick your neck out and don’t take the redknapp crap. Results or no I’m of the opinion that anyone who’ll drop you for a score is bad news. Anyhow, what’s with all this Rose bashing. He hasn’t played much at this level, has to come in at a difficult time, and yes you’re right he is primarily an athlete not a footballer, but since when was that a problem, he’s a left back. He hasn’t cost any direct goals and has always recovered and more importantly looks like he always will unless against top top players. He scored a blinder against the arse on his debut I believe and if he went Swansea or Norwich in 6 months you’d all be saying “he was shit for us…” Do you want a team of old mercenaries or the West Ham Golden generation (which we stole) mark 2, made in N17?
Danny at LB for me – need the speed. He doesn’t have to tackle Agbon and Nzogbia – just get close enough to breathe on them – which will ensure they fall over. Nelsen would lumber.
Dunne and Collins would fancy scoring from set pieces – so can we really pay attention in that department.
Respect for Kyle – Livermore for cover if he can’t play. Rafa has Dunne in his pocket.
Bale to stay wide left as Hutton likes the open spaces and would fancy his progress against Rose.
Lennon should have Warnock on toast. Hard to beat Given so it’s 2-1 for us at best.
I think you meant: “Bale to stay wide left” – Full stop, no further explanation required…
;)
Harry is our leader.
You’re wrong HERE :kissing:
Let’s hope they set up and play as they did when they came to the lane in November (ie complete and utter dross). They made Blackburn last week look like the peak of total football.
Worried that harry will mess with the system or starting 11 with parker back. Don’t do it harry
