Caretaker manager at Notts County, I hope we withdraw Grealish from that club and never deal with them until he's gone

Not to him it isn't.

Never :o
You will be telling me Francis is a nice bloke next ;D
-
Remind me, why is he so hated? did he engineer a move? Obviously he set Maradona up for the hand of God goal.

First rat to leave the ship when we went down, after doing less than the hotdog seller all season

Left long before we went down , mid season if I remember rightly - i remember the anger at home to Norwich and that back pass but 27 years down the line I'm not worried who he manages.

Francis or Hodge?
-
Both.
-
He was invited back to a match last year as a former player by the FPA, so they obviously bear him no malice. I still think he is a twat.
-
He could do us a favour now by giving Jack maximum game time.
-
Jack's injured. Hopefully TheTwatWithMaradona'sShirt won't get the job full-time. Do Notts County have much money to spend?

In Hodge's case, I disagree.

The FPA aren't the fans though, we are. Feck him. I've never disliked a Villa player more, ever. A snake in the grass.
-
I see the pantomime season has started then.
-
Also fucked up for Maradonas 'hand of god'. Did he play when we got hammered at the City Ground.?

And the first thing he thought of when the final whistle went in that very game was to sprint over to Maradona and beg for his shirt. Wanker.

I had just got Norwich out of my head.

The only reason he should be invited back is to be hung drawn and quartered at half time. Or at least to be given a really painful Chinese burn.

No, hence my query. Recall he wanted away when we were struggling. Nothing new with footballers. What else?
As I said in the last post, plenty have acted similar since. Downing and Ireland spring to mind. Benteke asking for a transfer in the summer wasnt exactly an endorsement of loyalty
-
First of all, we were in the shit when he put his transfer request in. Bottom of the league and doomed already, in September. Better players than he were committed to the Villa but he decided he wanted out. Except he waited until he was out of the country, playing for England, before he made the request. Then there was the Norwich game. Then he did several interviews in which he said he wanted to play for a big club. All this while his current club were struggling. Then, several months later he moved. His parting shot was "My ambitions were always to play for England and play for a big club." Not once did he express any gratitude for the club that had got him into the England team. That's not just asking for a transfer.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Sounds more Rooneyesque than Benteke.
Isnt Barry saying he wants to play in the champs league, similar

Barry had given us ten years and we weren't bottom of the league at the time.

Hodge is/was a bloody disgrace.

OK that's enough praise what about his bad points?
-
I think withdrawing Grealish and never dealing with them until Hodge has gone would make us look really small time.
Much better to send a couple of coachloads of our supporters to County games and have pitch invasions. Some bedsheets, paint and paintbrushes are also required for protests outside his home. Failing this, spray paint the words `Cock Piss Hodge` all over his club car.
-
All the abuse and bile aimed at Yorke, Southgate, Downing and Young multiplied by 10 is still less than half what Hodge deserves.
-
After 27 years I won't waste too many keypresses on the events of *that* Norwich home game, suffice to say that if he'd wanted the supporters to turn against him so that he'd somehow have another excuse to engineer a move then he couldn't ever have done a better job.
-
What happened against Norwich?
-
The most half hearted display in a Villa shirt you could ever imagine (and yes that includes Yorkies at Everton and Paul Mortimer's at Coventry) culminating in a leisurely or deliberate (depending on whether your a conspiracy theorist) half hit back pass that resulted in a Norwich goal right in front of the Holte End.
The place went mental whilst Hodge trudged off looking to all the world like he just didn't give a fuck. Don't think he played for us again but I could be mistaken.
Was that really 27 years ago - holy shit!!!

I can't remember Mortmer's performance, what did he do?
I do remember him scoring the 3rd or 4th goal of a thrashing of some team at Villa Park where he took offence at the Holte End because they didn't celebrate the goal like it was a last minute winner. I always thought that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Atkinson dropped him afterwards and he was soon out the door.

No it was definitely the Holte.

Could be. I remember him turning to the Holte to celebrate then he waved his arm at them in a dismissive kind of way because it wasn't loud enough. He was then booted out not long after. Obviously a bit more went on behind the scenes.
-
Paul Mortimer always seemed a prickly character to me , not sure if he missed London but something wasn't quite right during his time here.

Yeah, I think so. The day we won 4-0.
I might be wrong, but didn't we beat Forest 3-1 early on the season that year, with Shaun Teale putting them in the lead with an own goal right at the beginning of the game? If so, I can remember Mortimer getting stick during that game for letting the ball run out of play down in front of the Holte, when it would have been easier to keep it in and cross it, and so keep them on the back foot.
-
We beat Luton either 4-0 or 4-1 - Mortimer waited at the Holte for total adulation. That didn't come, so he did a sort of 'so what' hand gesture & trudged off. Never to be seen again.

That's exactly what happened from what I remember.

The Coventry game I was referring to was late September, about the same time as that Forest match.
We were in the seats on the side of the pitch at Highfield Road - pretty sure we drew 0-0 with plenty of the usual shenanigans that was common at Highfield Road back in those days.
You know, trouble around the ground, death trap of a standing away end (I told myself the year before that I'd not go in there again hence being in the seats), Villa fans getting thrown out left, right and centre by the Special Police officers for absolutely nothing (one guy near us actually got thrown out for catching the ball that went into the crowd for a throw in and holding it up!! - I kid you not).
Anyway, Mortimer was basically sulking around the pitch all game give a typically "i couldn't give a fuck" performance when he gave up totally on a through ball that was played down the line on our side of the pitch. He gave us one of those cocky gestures when we got on his case about it - got substituted almost straight after and we all gave him pelters.
We can probably all think of certain players who we wondered why they ever bothered joining the Villa as they never seemed interested in playing here at all - Paul Mortimer sits near the top of that list for me.
-
People always talk about Hodge's behaviour at Villa. They need to look at the big picture. He left his boyhood idols Forest for Villa because they didn't play him in his favourite position. I'm sure he made no extra money from the move. He left Villa when we played him in his favourite position and that got him into the England team because we were struggling and he wanted to play for a top club like Spurs. Again he probably was no better off financially from the move. He left Spurs to go back to Forest because he was single and lonely in London and wanted to move back home. I'm sure he was so keen he probably took a pay cut. He then left Forest again to go to Leeds because they offered him more money when his contract was up. Ok, so maybe money was involved here and there. Maybe he was a tad disloyal here and there. Maybe he always found an excuse to move on whenever he fancied. But apart from all that, what's not to love and admire?

He was interviewed in FiveLive last week and introduced as the "former Charlton Athletic and Aston Villa player..." to which I muttered something along the lines of "barely."

If you invited him back for a game he would have found a reason to go to another game before half time.

I have no idea who he is (interesting middle name) as I'm 24, but I imagine that middle name will be used for Mr Ireland for my generation.
-
someone , i might know and was present gave him a dig in the mouth at an event , after the fuss was over he asked why .
Norwich was the reply !
There was an attempt to explain , but another dig in the mouth was beckoning , yes yes not big or clever , but the fella that did it felt very very happy with himself from what he told me .
Nver cared for him myself , decent footballer but a twat

I seem to remember (and i may stand corrected here) that the manager at the time,who may have been Mcneill, saying, in a radio interview it was the worst kept secret in English Football thet Hodge had been tapped-up by Spurs at the World cup, with apologies if this is incorrect.

FA cup 3rd round ? Aston Villa will play.....Notts County (if their still in it)
and then we could give him the welcome back he deserves....

I spoke to Nigel spink on the day we drew tottenham in the League Cup (2-1 win) and he said that Hodge had been tapped up. He also didn't know the Cup draw and you could see that he wanted to give it back to Hodge.
Nay I just interject that Ithink Hodge is a wanker. Just more so than Barry.

Ireland was a waster but with all due respect the circumstances and manner of Hodge's betrayal sets him well above every other candidate IMO

It's close for me. Very close.

And about a year later the Whinging Fucker was moaning about how lonely life was in London since he'd moved there.
I think it was an interview with the Daily Mirror IIRC.
Then the toerag recently made money for being the owner of Maradona's shirt from the infamous 1986 World Cup game.

Ireland doesn't bother me one bit because he was never really part of anything down the Villa. Hodge was different. He was an integral part of the team and easily our most important player at the time. He genuinely did shit on us from a height. Unforgivable.
-
Apologies for the bump.....
Did anyone see the Hand of God documentary on ITV4 tonight? It's thirty years to the day since that goal.
He who shall not be mentioned claimed not to have seen the handball even though it was his sliced clearance that lead to the goal so that's why he swapped shirts with Maradona.
Shilton was less than complimentary, saying that he who shall not be mentioned was the only player that would have swapped shirts with him. The comment was scathing! Even though they were both sat around a pub table with Butcher, Lineker and Sansom, you could sense the resentment in Shilton's voice.
-
I didn't see the documentary, but kudos for a 3 year old bump!
-
I haven't watched the show because a) ITV4 and b) I really love Maradona.
Is it worth me having a look?

Yes

Considering he has Robert Hopkins, Noel Blake, Alpay, and jores Okore (yes, yes I know) for competition and still comes out on top shows you how much of a cnut he really is.
-
Zog, Gabby of the last few years, Delph, Downing, all of them combined aren't half the wanker he was, and still is, and will always be.
Which may answer your question!
-
Indeed, he's a wanker of O'Neill propositions
-
The shit that Gabby pulled puts him on par with Hodge. If not worse. Gabby's fall from favour is stunning and especially so given his history with us. He should have been far more in tune with how much his actions would hurt us as a club and fans. Yet he carried on the way he did and took others with him especially some of the younger ones. Hodge was just someone we bought so a wanker though he is, he's just another player that has passed through.

Okore? - pllllease!!
In the pantheon of wankers to have pulled on the Shirt, Okore doesn't get anywhere near to qualifying.
-
A player who risked his career by playing through injury and went eyeball to eyeball with the sick joke that was Eric Black. In the same sentence as Alpay?

No-one has mentioned the Snake, he isn't quite as bad but not far behind.

didn't notice the bump and thought it was a new thread for some reason
clicked on the first page and thought bloody hell eastie is back

Watched that last night, he reckons that he meant that as a back pass as he knew Shilton could catch it and beat Maradonna to it. He also said if he'd known he'd handled it he wouldn't have asked for his shirt. I don't suppose it crossed his mind that virtually every England player was chasing the ref pointing to their hands. The shirt's now worth £300k according to Shilton.
-
handball or not there's no way Shilton should have been beaten to the ball by that little gobshite, anyway that's for another day.
-
I found myself shouting expletives at the screen when H***e appeared - anyone who doesn't know me would have wondered what was happening!. Not surprised by Shilton mentioning the value of the shirt though after his well documented money problems.

Yes, but in fairness to Shilts - he wouldn't have for one fraction of a second have expected the cheating little man to even think of doing what he did, who knows the punch (which it looks like Shilts is doing) may have led to a breakaway !

30 years on and SH still comes across as a idiot, felt sad thinking when the season started after the world cup we would be going down. With in 4 years we were up and providing England with Sir Graham

he probably still smelled like piss from sleeping on a park bench.

wtf - the second goal was world class and England didn't have a kick until we were 2-0 down. The Argies were on a different level to us.

Seem to recall the Argies as a team were no great shakes. Diego was the difference. We had a good side in 86

I was amazed with his claim that he was playing a backpass to Shilton.

I was amazed with his claim that he was playing a backpass to Shilton.
If he had meant a back pass then it would have given Diego a far more simple opportunity than that.
-
I found myself shouting expletives at the screen when H***e appeared - anyone who doesn't know me would have wondered what was happening!. Not surprised by Shilton mentioning the value of the shirt though after his well documented money problems.
Even 30 years on - SH looked a bit isolated in the company of the other players that were at this reunion.
They're just jealous because he's got the Argentinian no. 10 shirt from the game.
Is what he tells himself. The utter c***.

I remember Peter Shilton doing an interview with Hawksbee and Jacobs on Talksport some years ago when he went on to plug his autobiography. The only trouble was he didn't seem to get the point of the interview and wouldn't talk about the book at all other than to tell people to buy it. So H&J would say, "There's a great story in there about a hilarious incident in the England hotel in Mexico, tell us about that". And Shilts says, "Er, well, I don't want to give it away." H&J: "Just give us a little flavour, it's the one about Bobby Robson forgetting the name of -" Shilts: "No, stop, you'll spoil it, I don't want to tell all the stories in the book, I want people to buy it and read it!" He was a humourless bastard and gave nothing away, absolutely nothing, it was simultaneously one of the shittest and funniest interviews I've ever heard. He was definitely worried about losing out on a few quid...

Meaning Evil bringing up tenuous links to tonight’s game including “my massive mistake in joining Villa” from you know who.
Still gets me angry when I here his name mentioned. Especially thinking of him celebrating after scoring against us for Leeds.
-
I was thinking about Hodge when Hutton scored on Sunday. Gardner’s attempt to stop him was Hodge-esque in 1986 with Maradona. Hodge and Gardner in the same sentence. Who’d have thought it?

He got hold of Maradona’s shirt in the end though. So that’s nice of him thinking about doing that when we’re just got beat by the cheating so and so. Two lovely characters together.
-
Funny thing is, after the Maradona shirt story came out, it's not just Villa fans who think he's massive tool.
-
I don’t think he was popular amongst Spurs fans as well as he said in an interview that he was lonely in London during his time there.

Maradona came to the England dressing room to swap shirts & was roundly told to f**k off.
Later on it turns out Hodge went it & swapped shirts with him, says everything really.....
-
I don’t think he was popular amongst Spurs fans as well as he said in an interview that he was lonely in London during his time there.
Which provoked the Spurs fans into a very loud chorus of "One lonely bastard - theres only one lonely bastard" at their next home game which was faithfully reproduced on TV!!....

I remember Mo Farah doing exactly the same in a TV interview. I've had an irrational hatred him ever since. Mobot wanker...

Stumbled across this the other day. For our younger fans, here is the infamous back pass that sealed his fate with Villa fans.

Hey leave Mo alone. The only time I've been jumping around watching athletics was him in the London Olympics.
As for Shilts, I've hated him since 1970 when the cheating bastard wiped the mud off the back stanchion from a perfectly good Pat McMahon goal.
-
Did they ask Shilton to tell the story of when he got caught shagging a married lass in the back of his car. Her husband caught them, Shilton, tried to drive off, semi naked, crashed into a lampost and was charged with drink driving.
Tina, Tina, Tina....

Unfortunately it was a Daimler.
As for Hodge he left Forest because he was being played out wide, left us because we were struggling then left Spurs to go back to Forest as he was lonely in London. He then left Forest for Leeds as they apparently had more ambition. Is it just me that suspects that one detail he left out of all of those excuses to move clubs is the fact he got a wage rise and signing on fee each time?
Peter Shilton used to live in Maxstoke, Coleshill near one of my uncle's and bet in a betting shop I managed on the A45, Sheldon. He would come in first thing when it was quiet to put a bet on. Always a single horse bet and always £300. It was at the time of the 2002 World Cup and the only time I had a proper conversation with him was about golf as he had been on a corporate trip to Japan and South Korea and was raving about the golf courses out there. Apart from that he was very quiet and self conscious, which I guess was down to the fact he was a welll known problem gambler in a betting shop.

Hodge was the prototype greedy barsteward.
He was pulling those sort of stunts when it wasn't the norm in English football.
But Southgate leaving when he did and bleating about how we were holding him back was a bigger disappointment. Not because he was particularly good. But because you hold your captain to a higher standard.

There seemed to be a lot of car brand loyalty in the seventies and eighties. My one uncle had about three Ford Cortinas one after the other, my other uncle did exactly the same with Austin Maxi's, another uncle did the same with the Rover SD1 model and at one time my dad had a Marina estate at the same time my mum had a Marina coupe. My dad also had a mate who used to buy a new Reliant Scimitar every two years.
-
Our next door neighbour always used to buy a new Maxi every two years, and always tried to talk cars with my dad, who (correctly, I see now, though it embarrassed me at the time) found the subject extremely dull. He once (my dad) swapped a massive, relatively new, Volvo for his mate's clapped out Renault 5 just to confuse Mr. Next Door.
The Renault was deemed to be not roadworthy very shortly afterwards, and he never expressed a word of regret. A sounder dead fella than my old man, you will not (indeed, could not) meet.
