Gotta admit I find him the most irritating pundit on TV, and I think he talks a lot of shit! Oh well.

I'll think that you'll find that's Charlie Nicholas ..  total tool

If a combination of Houllier/Thompson/McDonald achieve a trophy and a good league position I am not arsed.

To be honest most villa fans dont want MON/Sven/Houiller

Who do you want jesus/God/ the pope???

Just out of interest, would anyone have preferred John Toshack?

Seem to remember Friedel conveying his hatred for Thompson in that book he wrote or an interview.

By the time they can start building their own side in earnest (next summer) I think it would be pretty much time to replace Big Brad anyway!

You're probably right...still means that we have to get through a season with a goalkeeper who can't stand the Assistant Manager. I wonder how he feels about Houllier. I'd also worry the same re Carew, Heskey.

I know it's not Houllier's fault, but these are the players he is going to have to rely on til January and more than likely end of the season.
Doesn't help if he already has a poor relationship with a couple of them.

I'd expect them to be professional and do their jobs, both players and staff, for the good of the club/team.  They can then sort who stays or goes next summer!

A quick look in the Off Topic forum should answer that one for you!

My problem with Phil Thompson is that I don't think he's very good. I'd be disappointed to think that KMac will get overlooked in favour of Phil Thompson. As far as I can tell, they haven't worked together for six years, so I don't particularly see the need for them to work together again at Villa. To clarify: I'm not against Ged, but certainly not keen on Thompson.

Liverpool played better under Thompson, when he took over from Houllier, following Houllier's heart attack.

Morley and Rimmer aren't scousers.

Thompson played in the Liverpool side that shipped in 5 goals at Villa park.

Irrelevent, I know, but always nice to mention



Tony is from Ormskirk = West Lancs, whilst Jimmy is from Southport = Merseyside.

What do I think on Thompson possibly being on board ? Personally he irritates the **** out of me, however so did MON before he came to the Villa - I could learn to tolerate him if he is successful.

We need some coaching staff so if it is Houllier, and he wants Thompson, so be it.

Thompson a winner of league championships and European Cups

I dont see the problem in that.

Surely Robertson was not a villa fan

There does not seem to be another Brian Little around at the moment to come through the door of B6

I want someone there who been there and done it  and then maybe the likes of KMac working in the first team system in 2 years time can take over

The problem I have with Scousers are not the real life variety, it's more the 'professional' Scouser (Copyright Carla Lane) that loves to play up the the stereotypical bull shit of scally, GSOH, look after their own crap. 

And the fact that the media largley joined in (hence the endless shite sitcoms) before it all went out of fashion post Hillsboro/Hysel and they were then replaced by the 'professional' Manc and then 'professional' Geordie.

I used to work for a company based in Liverpool the people I know have always been great up there and as embarressed by the stereotype as anyone.


I always think it's ironic that as soon as Liverpool (city or club) is mentioned, we come out with Your 101 Best Scouse Cliches yet threaten fatwahs on anyone who talks about Thick Brummies.

You missed the "whinging" bit !

Must be popular with other Arsenal fans.
