12 months down the line and we have 8 French Internationals in the side, the fans will be singing "Hou let the frogs out? Hou Hou Hou Houllier" ;)

Only kidding and I`m not being Xenophobic or racist  - my French teacher at school was French  :o

I quite like the idea of having 8 French internationals at Villa. The club shop will have a nightmare though knowing where to place all those accent aigu, accent grave and accent circonflexes on little Johnny's number 17 shirt.

Yeah, I hear training is very intense amongst French internationals!

Collymore by all accounts talks out of his arse.

And welcome boss.

Collymore is a pundit, the greatest crime for a pundit is to be bland. I take all the bollocks with a pinch of salt.

Bland or talk bollocks constantly? I'd rather have bland.

He's not going to get much work by being bland was my point.

I wouldn't work hard either if I had that prize knob Domenech as my boss

Seeing as no one else has claimed it, may I be the first one to say "Houllier Out!"

H&V's standards have definitely slipped.
