Agreed.


I only watched the goals and some highlights. I heard he was very good at their previous game against Atletico Madrid too. Surprisingly, Wenger did not give him many chances last season.

I think the issue with players at his age is that while they may have the ability to play in the league, they haven't got the body. He's not long turned 17 and his body hasn't stopped growing, injuries would shorten his career. Brian Little played for Villa decades ago at 17, he had a few early injuries and ended up retiring at 26.

Looks a very talented player, can only be good news for England.

well done villa! I'm happy they won, ciro can suck a fat one I hope inter lose the rest of their freindlies too

Our reserves beat Juve, you watch our first XI lose to Fiorentina next weekend.

Very much looking forward to it, first game at VP since relegating Delusion FC.

Don't forget, we're talking Arsenal here. No matter what Wenger does, it's BAAAAD for the national team.

I don't know too much about this kid, but I've heard alot about him this season. I think the fact that he's a 19 year old playing in League 1, but has a £6m price tag says alot about him. Hopefully he's good enough to cut it at the top level. Also interested that since accepting our bid they've turned down other approaches. Maybe have a good reputation does still count for something in football.

It seems that Portsmouth are in big financial trouble. The takeover by Sulaiman Al Fahim may not materialise which means they'll need to sell most of their players. Though Fahim not being involved with an EPL club is a good thing, he was the prick that was involved in the City takeover sayin they're going to buy Ronaldo, Torres, etc.

Bournmouth, West Ham, Southampton. 3 clubs Redknapp went to, financially destroyed, then ended up getting relagted. Pompey look to be next on Redknapps reign of terror.

"If you can't beat them, join them.. then spend all their money, relegate them, then leave them" This must be Redknapps motto.

Do you think there's any chance that he might come to Villa one day kurt?

No. There's bad blood between Villa and Redknapp. He's an idiot, he tried to annoy our fans saying "I enjoy coming to Villa Park, I've had quite a few succesful attempts here".. he's won twice in about 15 games against us. What an idiot.

He's such an idiot, I wonder why some clubs are still after him.


Oh come on man this is just the exception to the rule, it cannot be denied that Wenger is not the biggest England helper. But why should he be anyway, he is doing (or at least used to do) his job perfectly.

Are you in love with him? Are you in love with that pedophile!??!

*runs away as fast as donkeys in the sight of chickens - which is not so fast but well I'm doing my best*

*Senderos is going to Everton according to a few sources, one being the Swiss FA.
*Rumour is that Lescott has handed in transfer request as he wants to move to Man City. Everton fans labeling Man City classless and whatever else.. they do realise Man City have loaned them an £18m striker, for free, for another season right?
*Liverpool have reached a deal with Madrid for Alonso. I don't rate him too highly, but it's hilarious how this has played ot after last summer.

MONs English Villa Revolution

kurtis what makes delusion fc so deluded then i d like to know the fact that theyre stadium is 60,000 odd or that they have some of the most passionate fans in the world in contrast to at least the villans who think they are so high up there after just one good season

Well, you asked for it..




So you're "villans who think they are so high up there after just one good season " comment doesn't really make sense in many ways. We finished 6th last season, just like the season before. So how is that 'one good season'? We are better now, in the EPL years and throughout history, then Newcastle. Just because Sky Sports is obsessed with them, doesn't mean they're a big club. They're not even the biggest clun in the North East.

So, to put it simply. They're not even in our league.. literally.

But Kurt......SANTIAGO MUNOZ plays for Newcastle! I saw it in the movies! Surely that must give them cool points (even though Harchester would totally kick their ***).

Yeah, Harchester were way better!

I'm by no means calling Villa a huge club, we're not, I'm not an idiot. But even compred to us Newcastle are nothing. Their fans just don't seem to get it, they may be passionate, but they know F all about football. "If we get relegated, it'll be like Liverpool going down next season". This is the sort of thing going around their forums towards the end of last season.. get over yourselves.

im glad i dont have to listen to the prem commentators ranting on about how exciting the premiership is _ and how its the best league in the world anymore _ andy gray jamie redknapp have lost there beloved c.ronaldo to spain

la liga is number 1 with prem being 2nd the talent in la liga is far superior now and it ll be shown on the pitch and also in europe mark my words

It aint gonna stop.

I'll also be shocked if all 4 English teams don't make the CL quater finals.

More talent in La Liga? I don't even think it's close. Yeah Madrid and Barca have the talent, they've always had better players than any of the EPL clubs. But only people with a 'big 4' mentality would say this. Teams like Spurs, Villa, Everton and Man City are far, far better than the 5-8 teams from Spain, in my opinion. We also have decent strength teams in our 2nd division now, I don't think any league is stronger in depth than England.

No i dont think so _ i think the likes of atletico,villareal and valencia would eat your spurs villa and everton alive

the talent these teams possess is beyond that of any of them teams u mentioned barring man city who can be classed as a big 4 team sooner or later with that attack

it should stop because now they have no basis for there argument there is no c.ronaldo he was the single reason why the prem was soo exciting

i hate all these scot commentators like graeme souness and andy gray who bad mouth serie a and cant admit to the fact that la liga will over take the prem and i believe with the constant arrivals of big names c.ronaldo kaka zlatan ibrahimovic alonso and the current names already there its easily the best

*Insert Epic Fail picture here*

I said, and I quote "Teams like Spurs, Villa, Everton and Man City are far, far better than the 5-8 teams from Spain, in my opinion." Atletico finished 4th, so they shouldn't even be compared with us, they should be with the CL teams.

Man City, Villa, Everton, Spurs > Valencia, Villarreal, Malaga, Deportivo.

You're also making the error that your opinion is fact. Ronaldo the single reason the EPL was exciting? That's an opinion, not a fact. And no Man City can't be considered a big 4 team, because there can only be 4 'big 4' teams, hence the number 4. That'd mean you'd be comparing Arsenal/Chelsea/United/Liverpool with a team like Valencia, which moves even further into our favour.

It's just a difference of opinion, we'll see. But it's funny how you think Newcastle are a big club - a Championship team - yet you think the Spanish League is better? Could you name me some 'big clubs' from the Spanish 2nd division?

Liverpool FC today confirmed they have agreed a deal with AS Roma for the transfer of Italian international Alberto Aquilani, subject to a medical.

yeah itll be very intresting to see how well he does in the prem at lfc

I like Aquilani, I would have liked him at Milan. But while he's wearing a Liverpool shirt I hope he fails.

I love it when people I hate make awful mistakes like this. He could at least do his homework! The bolded part at the end, the game in question ended 3-3, not 3-0. Pazzini was MotM, not Aquilani. In fact, Aquilani didn't even play. God Rafa, you really are useless.

Well said...

Spurs are signing Bassong from Newcastle.

Good player, but don't mind him going to Spurs. I like the way this club is run, they have the potential to be in Europe every year, but they refuse to learn from their mistakes. Bassong, Corluka, King, Woodgate and Dawson are all CBs.. what are they going to do when they're all fit? They also have about 5 first team full backs. Ridiculous.

it would really be a win/win for us if that happens cuz we would have the opportunity to sign him later on, even though i know we wont

If aquilani ever played for a milanese club it would be the blue and black side _ which he prefers more and has been linked with alot more

ah well hes a roman scouser now still better than the scum that are inter

I just noticed on the friendlies fixture list for Saturday that Villa, West Brom and Birmingham are al playing at home at 3:00. Christ, it's going to kick off big time.

sooner or later willl this thread be renamed in to prem 09/10 and also update on the other leagues or should we make a new one
