Nice one, i'd love to see (David) Villa in an (Aston) Villa shirt just to see how cool he would look, no chance of it happening although we may sign him up in 10 years when his legs have gone and he is after one last big payday, just like Pires.

Reading the reports of thier game yesterday gives me some hope, Mancini complaining about fatigue and desire, Company and De jong doubtfull, just hope Tevez finally manages to saw his own head off.

If all our fans turn up to the ground with bells and start ringing them , we can definitely confuse Tevez on the pitch.
