Have you noticed the theme of who helping city lose the title

Luke Moore, Gary Cahill, Peter Crouch the last 3 players to score against city. Next Manchester City v Sunderland,

Step up one Craig Gardner?

May be if we kept team of 2002 -05, we now be in top 3??

[Rip Van We Go Again]

O'Neill make um heap big mistake getting rid of Cahill.

[not3bad]

Luke Moore was set up for his goal by another ex-Villa player.

I said at the time MO'N f**ked up with that move.
I know many might disagree but he also f**ked up selling Ridgewell too.
I admit Ridgewell wasn't as accomplished as some, but, he and Cahill formed a great partnership, they understood each other brilliantly as they came though the ranks together.
They were a unit and should have been given the chance together at 1st team.

Everyone in the world (apart from MON) knew he dropped a bollock with Cahill. Still, he'll always be remembered for it, oh, and replacing him with Knight.

[N'ZMAV]

Not to mention Curtis Davies.

I agree.

Only by us though, I don't see many of his mates in the press saying it!

I agree.

He did get on Curtis Davies though.....ahem.

The alternative to letting Cahill go was to allow him to pick himself for the first-team. Not a position that many managers would accept.

And to think when we were going for the premier league title, Keith Curle caught the ball to gift us a penalty when we were stuttering and they had good luck Villa banners in the away end.

That game was one of the few times I was a right sider. Didn't the banner say something like "Good luck Villa from the city of Manchester"?

[Matt C]

It did. They were winning 1-0 and we came back to win 3-1.

There's a difference between wanting first team football and wanting to pick the team.

It's hard to criticise Cahill for not wanting to fall into the 20 - 22 age group abyss that has claimed so many of our promising youngsters for lack of first team opportunity.

It looked a bad decision by O'Neill then, and it certainly does now. Even worse than not offering Mellberg a new contract at the start of the season and then proceeding to play him at right back.

One of the few times we let you in.

The right side was for the righteous.
