It'd be interesting to see Phil Thompson's reaction when 'Stevie G' hits a 25 yard screamer in injury time to beat us 1-0 at Villa Park this season (I could have said Torres but he scored against us last year). I mean, it's not as though he's circumspect about his Liverpool FC obsession on Soccer Saturday.....


love it :-)

and every manager Villa have had has been a Villa fan?

For some people no manager / assistant is going to be good enough, perhaps we should just not bother to appoint one at all and just let a x factor style voting system pick the team

Was Thompson at Liverpool when Kev Mac was? Just a thought...

Ofcourse Thompson would want the best for the Villa if he came - silly to think otherwise.

This will be a hell of a ciulture shock from the statues on the bench that were Robertson and Walford to the 90 minutes of screaming, swearing and pointing that they'd get from Thompson.

Atleast Villa have always been a happy home for Scousers down the years, Saunders, Withe, Mortimer, Waring etc.

They can confirm this, although Houllier hasn't taken the job yet?

No, I'm sure you are right, Toronto Villa & East 19, but I bet he'll have a sneaky little shaking fist hidden up his jumper whilst he rams his other fist into his mouth to stifle the cries of joy.

Again, it's a bit suprising but there are benefits. Atleast we'll be talked about more affectionately on Soccer Saturday now. It'll be good PR nationwide.

Good post. I find Thompson a very interesting pundit to listen to. If he says some things about Villa that are a criticism then perhaps we should take notice. Not as if we are perfect.

Appoint a coach who's a born winner having accumulated every possible honour at club level? Perish the thought.

Not sure that kmac is going to be 1st team coach- from what colley was saying he's likely to return to his old reserve job, maybe houllier and thommo will bring their own coach with them, Sammy lee?

Gotta admit I find him the most irritating pundit on TV, and I think he talks a lot of shit! Oh well.

I'm trying to keep calm but this is a potentially disastrous appointment (Houllier and Thompson).

I don't think I have ever been so pessimistic about a season before - this will end in tears by January, I'm sure of it.

They confirmed Thompson will be assistant manager if houllier accepts the job- as thommo works for sky it's obvious they'd get tipped off by him.
