Sheffield United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

I honestly think a Makoun and a striker would make a massive difference to that team..

We just need a boost, we're a better team than the web toed six fingered fuckers from across the city, but we need some belief and we need some energy. I have faith in Houllier's ability to look at Villa as a club, not just a first team, it's his first team management that concerns me but I hope he gets that right and there are some positives to take from this performance, all the goals were good for a start.

When Arry had his first January transfer window after taking over his first two buys were a striker and a defensive midfielder to get his team out of the dropzone. The same thing could easily happen for us. The trouble is those buys cost almost £30mil. It doesn't look like we are looking to spend anything like that so far.

BRING ON THE BLUES!

PS.  HOULLIER WAS TOLD TO SIGN THAT PLAYER BY THE SCOUTS,  HOULLIER CANT TAKE THE CREDIT

Marvellous.
As if I was ever in doubt I can now officially declare you a clueless, shouty, dribbly twat.

It's one thing to have those thoughts and keep them to yourself. But to type them on an internet message board is quite another. We've had some quality on here, especially of late, but that post has elevated him to the very top of the Mount Moron.

Just got home after a great day out which has involved far too much beer ( and a few cans of cider), great company from all the lads I've met up with today from North West Villa (you know who you are), nice meal in the banyan tree back in manc, a nice couple of scoops in the Thirsty Scholar on Manchesters Oxford Road with accompanying soundtrack from DJ Martin the Mod ( can't beat that Northern Soul sound).  Oh and the football was good as well.

[Risso]

He was TOLD, nay ORDERED by the scouts to sign Walker.  Oi Houllier sign that Walker bloke or fucking else!

[Dave Cooper please]

By the way, this was my first Villa away day since 1994 (and I don't give a shit what that makes me amongst the hierarchy of bestest fans), and it was utterly wonderful. Great pubs, great beer, great company.

Fook! What made you bite the bullet after 17 years away Dave? What was your last one - The Dell, Southampton April '94 when Chico Hamilton and his rough mates broke the crossbar?

I think the result flattered us.   We came out in the second half as though the job was already done and there was a complete lack of resolve until the substitutions were made.
Dunne puffed and blundered as always, Ash was a total sucker and Pires was once again off the pace, over confident and out of touch and it took a couple of top quality saves from Brad to keep the score line at 2-1. 

The fans seemed much less up for it than usual at away games and much more pissed but we have had a lot of pain at away games so far this season so it is only to be expected.  I thought the stewards did a good job in the face of some very close quarters in their faces singing of the Want To Go Home song.   

[Big Dick Edwards]

Solid debut from Walker, apart from silly pass across our area. Give him 5 games before clamouring for his signature.

Yes indeed. Remember Joey Gudjohnssen!

Our support was excellent yesterday but I was shocked at Sheffield United's. I thought a club of their stature would be well up for a 3rd Round FA Cup tie at home to one of the big boys.

A wins a win and away from home in a cup match quite an achivement for a new Manager.
The PR at the club is atrocious especially for a US owned company with longstanding NFL connections, and Houllier is no slouch in that dept either, even if he has a long way to go to overcome the Anfield faux pas.
Here's hoping by the Next game he's signed a few more and instilled more consistency. A good performance always seems to be followed by a bad one or two.
Winning games is the ultimate good PR

[RunRickyRun]

Very good win.

It would have been even more comfortable had the ref been able to spot a tackle from 2 foot away.
