Had the misfortune to catch that Godawful Hold the Backpage -or whatever the latest reincarnation is- on Sky a few weeks back. Mention of Villa briefly pricked my interest. Before the pricks sitting around the table killed it.
Paul Smith whose work (outside of suits) I've never actually been aware of before came across as a horrid, horrid coked up* individual. Rob Beasley -a Brummie- referred to Chelsea as we and us and Woolnonono held this chimps tea party together with his usual style and grace.
I'm largely indifferent to Liddle, for the reasons Damon outlined. Was it he or Barclay that said Martin O'Neill is too good for football? That's world class arse licking. Almost as good as Oliver Holt's "I've never really regarded Aston Villa as a big club. But by the time David O'Leary has finished with them they will be."
They've backed the wrong horse so many times they remind me of Eddie Mush in A Bronx Tale. They should be afforded similar respect.
*I'm referring to the caffine heavy soft drink, obv.
