I think Francis' commentary is actually slightly pro-Villa. He's probably very concious that he will be accused of being anti-Villa that he goes the other way.  Much like 'Villa fan' Alan Smith who seems to commentate on every Villa v Blues match on Sky, and goes so far the other way and makes my blood boil.  Especially 03-03-03. *shudders*

Great, we'll finish 6th and get to go to Wemberlee again

I too think that Francis is always a very fair commentator with us. In fact, by "fair", he actually sounds very pro Villa.

Unlike David Platt who never has a good fucking word to say, and can't pronounce Agbonlahor.

FFS Francis only started liking us when his mate MON became manager, expect the previous nasally put downs in future.

I was with your mum earlier. I let her call me Tonto too. You know like the horse. She enjoyed it.

Immature, ridiculous, childish, unnecessary behaviour.

And did I piss myself laughing.
What is it the kids say? "PWNED".

[VillaZogmariner]

Brilliant response!

Liverpool are not exactly that much better off now are they?

The article is obviously written from the heart, but the bitterness is all too apparent.

Those two words go together like Strawberries and cream.....

But Tonto wasn't the horse, he was the Red Indian.

When the Lone Ranger had cancer, Tonto called him Kimotherapy.

i really like the idea of us working harder, especially from the front... i also like the idea of us being able to pass the ball about and wait for openings.. that is what top teams do...

we have players capable of doing that, and as my liverpool supporting mates have said, his team "wasnt so much defensive, more counter attacking", that could suit us down to the ground...

[Drummond]

He's won trophies. Championships and Cups in a number of competitions that are tricky to win. That's more than can be said for our previous few managers isn't it?
