Get rid of any discernible quality and fill the team up with hard working cloggers seems to be the plan.  Oh joy.

Yes if we lose N'Zog and Ireland, i'd be concerned. We need to have quality and technique in our side if we are ever going to improve. I hope Mcleish has some kind of epiphany and realises we will only ever move forward if we adopt a passing approach, and it'll help commercially as more fans will want to watch.

I dunno if that's even our plan though. It'd make too much sense for McLeish to do it right, after all, Zoggy was his call.
But look at it this way. Nolan and Dempsey in our side wouldn't set the world alight, but they'd get 20 goals between them.
How many do Zoggy and Ireland have between them? How many more will they get this season.

I'm resigned to ugly football, I just hope Eck has the sense to get the players who'll get us results in turn. Perhaps one flair player could make us tick, like Merson did under JG. Our football was poor, but he could always brighten a game.

Imagine a Man United player saying the same about Fergie?

You can't compare Eck to Fergie. Look at the disrespect Ronaldo showed when subbed Fergie just waved it off, it's all about man management. Mcleish bought N'Zogbia knowing he is a disruptive character when things aren't going his way.

Ashley Young ma) have been given a bit more freedom, but he's also the hardest working winger I've ever seen.

Too right he was. And still is, I suspect, for Man United.
Too right, he probably is.

N'zog needs to get working and prove himself to the fella who had the courage to back a lot of money on him in the first place. He can not blame his performances on anyone else.

In honesty, I'm not keen to take anyone's side on this. Whilst I think N'Zogbia may have been stifled by McLeish I don't really think N'Zogbia should be mouthing off to the press and he should follow instructions regardless of his reservations around these.

If Charlie was as effective on the field as he is at mouthing off in the Press we'd have a very good player on our hands.

It may come when AM has a chance to mold a more solid defence and midfield, but we'll see on that.
I don't think he can mould a fucking blancmange, but we'll see on that.

Very good.

I think he's right and is regretting coming to us. It would be a waste to see him with the shackles off next season playing for someone else.

Aye.
But Ferguson can wave umpteen medals in a players face.

All Fucking Eck can show is a League cup win and some Scottish tinpot shit.

More than any other manager who would want to come and manage Villa has achieved.

First I think a lot of people get Player Highlight Disorder. Yes he has talent but you need  more than that and that is attitude. Get Rid

Charlie by name, Charlie by nature - if you ain`t prepared to work for the team then **** right off.I have also noticed the number of cars he has -seems a different one each week in his spot at VP. Overpaid tossers really get my goat - how dare a manager tellhim what to do ..after all he`s only on, what £50 per week!

That approach to football isn't going to put bums on seats is it.

It will if we're winning.
