Clean break, I think.

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 

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!

Does anyone else find the picture on AVFC.co.uk slightly odd when you look at his face and the background....

its quite steve coppel esque isnt it ?

[PeterWithe]

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.

[Reality]

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

[PeterWithe]

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

Heh, Jamie Redknapp manages it perfectly.

[Dave Javu]

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.
