Jimmy's view on our new leader and playing us in the past
-
Jimmy Greaves was fucking AWFUL as a football pundit.
His usual insightful remark whenever a striker missed an easy chance, was
'Well, you've got to say, he should have hit the target from there.'

Yeah, that's a good point. I think he was employed more for his character / personality than his insightful remarks. I always quite liked him myself, but then again I wasn't really old enough to know any better. If I had to bet I'd say he was slightly more insightful than Shearer is now tho lol
-
He's still better than Jamie Redknapp. Literally!
-
I miss Saint and Greasy.
And when I say miss it, I mean they should have been up in front of The Hague for Bore Crimes.
Always remember the B-lose game at home in the LC in 1993 and watching the highlights later that evening. Greaves was adamant Deano was offside -and persisted with that nonsense even when it had been made clear to him you can't be offside in your own half.

Bring back Big Ron!

That was the baffling thing, for an ex-professional, he seemed to know fuck all about football basics.
-
Didn't he persist with those natty t-shirts for every game during the World Cup in 1990.
Every game a new comedy slogan.
Wanker.

Yep, he went on and on about it like we'd just broken the first law of thermodynamics or something. Instead of not actually breaking any whatsoever.

"Greaves currently on a two man talking show with Paul Gascoigne"........... I bet that is absolutely rivetting - two ex footballers and alcoholics who pissed all their earnings up a ceramic wall.
-
read his autobiograthy and its memorable for actually managing to make you dislike him more than before. Its a ringing endorsement for the qualities of alchohol as when he stopped he turned into a right miserable sod.

I'm sure they've both got some great stories to tell. If it was the two Pauls, McGrath and Merson I know I'd probably enjoy it.

From his coffin he would still be better than Jamie Redknob!

Yeh Saint & Greavsie.
Or this sort of stuff....

Thank the lord that Keys and Gray came and saved us eventually.
Now we have lost them from our screens.
So 3 cheers for Robbie Savage ! Hip hip ??

Gazza and Greavsie on tour together? A car crash waiting to happen. :o
-
When you listen to the clip,he's only saying what weve been saying on here for the past week,that it doesn't feel right or make sense.
-
In listening to the audio clip you can tell what he thinks about the appointment. It clearly isn't anything that he would have done. I like that he was able to make his point with a bit of humour and also that Villa were a bogey team for Spuds. Long may that always be so.
He's right, Big Eck will be in for a rough ride if he isn't able to put together a winning team. Now that the deed is done, I am putting my misgivings as a fan behind me and getting on with supporting Villa.
"It's a funny old game "

What kind of advice is it to say he should have stayed at Birmingham? Even if he didn't come here he still should have left

When he was proved wrong by the replays, he said the linesman should still have flagged because he couldn't possibly have known that Deano was in his own half.
Muppet.

Is it Johnny Giles on the far left?

Its Bob McNab !

What a random bloke to ask for an opinion, surely he must be selling something? Low and behold he's doing a stage show
-
"Oh dear oh dear oh dear.... he must have been a mile offside. Taking nothing away from him................"

My thoughts exactly...and any stage show/tour with Paul Gascoigne is a disaster waiting to happen.
