The rebirth of Emile: Omen.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

30 mins against blackburn b and its a rebirth...... sigh

I know, how dare Villa fans think he played well and ask if he'll keep it up!  I for one didn't even celebrate when he scored and it's unfair for such a shit player to have a positive effect on a game - it's virtually cheating!  I say we apologise to Blackburn and they take our place in the 4th round draw instead.

I think stevenjos is merely stating that the description of a 'rebirth' is an exaggeration, and he'd be right.

Can't help wondering how p*ssed off he was when Heskey scored though.

He scored in his first Villa game under MON as well so don't get too excited.  However I don't think he's as bad as some people make out, and that he often makes a positive contribution when he plays.  The big problem is he's a striker and as such he's always going to be measured almost exclusively by the number of goals he scores  - and he doesn't score anywhere near enough.  Yet.

He came on..I tutted, shook my head and then buried my head in my hands, muttering "for fuXX sake, nothings changed"
He receives the ball, I expect him to fall over or mis- kick the ball .... he scores and I burst out laughing.
For the remainder of the game I kept checking my programme to see if it really was Heskey.

Well done Emile you played well for 30 minutes - will you repeat that again this season?

[Fergal]

This is what happens when you use him as an attacking center forward as opposed to a defensive center forward....

Its about 30 minutes more than Carew at the moment. The bloke has been awful. With Gabby and his injuries, its no wonder we've not scored enough goals so far.

But he also refuses to celebrate any goal that involves Heskey. So we're now out of the cup according to this clown.

[Dave Cooper please]

he scores and I burst out laughing.

That was exactly my reaction as well!

There's not a Villa fan on here that doesn't hope that Heskey can suddenly transform himself into van Basten under Hotlips and bang in twenty goals to propel us into the top four, but you know...it's Emile...err...not going to happen is it?

GH has just said on SSN that we don't need another striker so it better start happening !

[Dave Cooper please]

I'm hoping that is Hotlips just doing his best to make Heskey feel good, anyway, we need another striker even if Heskey comes good, Carew on Wednesday looked like he'd been doing the poledancing himself all night rather than just watching it.

Like most other posters, I thought he played very well and was pleased to hear the applause when he got Man of the Match. He did a lot more than the goal and the two assists, and when he did make the odd mistake the crowd applauded him for trying rather than groaning or jeering. I hope GH gives him a chance to impress on Sunday and includes him from the start.

True.it would hardly instill confidence in our current 3 if GH said he was on the look out for another striker. It gives them the chance to prove themselves under him

Not as pissed off as I was when I saw the state of my shed after Brown and Foxton had finished. Never thought i'd say this but thank goodness for Belouis Some and one of Hue or Cry (not sure which is which, bit like an older Ant & Dec) for some emergency shed repai at such short notice.

Not sure i'm going to ask Emile if he can plaster our bedroom wall, might see how he gets on with stripping the wallpaper and locating the barn door first.

If that's the case he's barmy, we've needed a striker for years.

What's all this hotlips stuff?

[KevinGage]

Aye, I'd be a wee bit concerned at that.

Hopefully he's doing it to fire up the existing lot, reasoning that if they have his backing they'll deliver. Personally I think having to play for their place and the imminent threat of a new (and long overdue) forward would help even more in that regard.

But we'll see.
