AVFC Villan

Didn't he basically get Leeds relegated? He got sent off in tow of their last four games in the league. I wouldn't count on him. Keep Lovenkrands up there instead, he looks a decent player from the little I've seen of him. Then again you might need a big man upfornt. Just not Viduka. Stick with Ameobi.

That's one of our problems, we wait for the players to do something before we start cheering again, rather than it being the other way round. Our fans outside the Holte End are quite poor if i'm totally honest. We get it rocking pre-game and when theres something to cheer about but theres not a real constant noise coming from us. We should of won tonight. Dissapointed, we outplayed them and were the better team. Hopeful we can beat them in Moscow.

Does Wise have a real role at the club? Or is it just so he can watch you play every saturday with a fancy title? Doesn't look as if he does anything in terms of managing. It could be worse anyway, you could be Spurs fan still thinking you have a definite CL chance and expecting to finishing in the top 2 next year.

I haven't heard, but you might know more than me about our finances, from what i know we're not in any debt. Though you're most likely right with the 85mil MON has spent since taking over, and putting a charity as our shirt sponsor. @Kitman: That all sounds eeriely familiar, we were hoping for a team of Gareth Barry's and instead got Juan Pablo Angel, and Benito Carbone. We were at least content, if not frustrated that we had 11th place pretty much reserved for us every year, then next year then DOL came along and showed us that we can, and will go lower, finishing 16th. Wasn't Ashley originally putting money into Newcastle, then stopped? If only he'd of let Keegan pick the transfer targets to begin with. We are lucky our chairman knows fuck all about football. And even luckier he doesn't fancy himself as a manager - chosing transfers him self.

It was something crazy like his phone had ran out of battery. Glad the days of "Deadly Doug" are over.

Cheers I actually thought you had one in Allardyce, seems Ashley didn't agree... And as for Kinnear, he'll do enough to keep you in the premiership but that's not what you should be aiming for, you do have a good enough team though. Barton( not a bad player, despite being a twat), Nolan, Duff, Martins, Owen, need a few quality defenders though IMO. @Stevie: Haha, well it isn't a fantastic chant, but it's ours and I wouldn't change anything for it. I was wondering. Do you know how much debt Villa had when Lerner took over? Had 'Deadly Doug' kept a tight ship, in that regard? (don't know why I was typing that with a meedlunds accent, but I couldn't help it!!) Also, in respect of defenders, I expect O'Neil and other top managers to come with their bags of gold for Bassong in the summer. We were never in any debt at any one point under Doug's reign. Not because he was a financial genius, but because we spent fuck all. We paid cheap and for that, we got cheap quality players. There is some ridiculous reasons for us not signing players with Doug, something involving being unable to call somebody, so a player went elsewhere. Can't remember it exactly though. I'm half expecting us to come in for Owen this summer, unsure about him, we don't need him but he can still finish like one of the best. Beye always looks a quality player when i watch Newcastle, so does.. Jonas? ( Can't, and won't say his first name) Lerner came in and we were half expecting the same thing again as he didn't make any real signings until his second season.

Marlon Harewood, he's not really a footballer, how he came professional is a joke in the first place. Looks pretty scary though. The whole Stoke first team would be in with a shout of that title too. Roy Keane would be up there, along with Duncan Ferguson.

You should still be able to sell it really if your in the top 20 in terms of revenue. If somebody bought Man City, surely somebody out there would buy a much bigger club like Newcastle. Well, one can hope. How come Ashley stopped putting money into Newcastle?

I'm not here for a wind up, to take the piss or just be a twat. Always had great respect towards your club. It's a shame to see Newcastle where they are now, a club of your size should be battling in the top 4 with us, as we are pretty similar clubs in size although I would say in all honesty you have better fans. I'd kill to have your fans, ours aren't all that great if i'm being totally honest, going as far as booing the team this season when we couldn't score against Wigan. Our away support is fine, but you can get usually 50,000 in St James' every week whilst we struggle to get 40 even with our current sucess I hope Mike Ashley sells up, your not going anywhere with him as your current owner unfortunately, what happened to him selling up anyway? We're quite lucky with Lerner not wanting to get involved with transfers etc. Wasn't that why Keegan left? Hopefully we can get revenge at Villa Park after you outplayed us at your place last time we met. Anyway, every Toon fan i've met has been a decent bloke, hopefully it's the same here. Move this thread if it's posted in the wrong place.
