Friedel said today the regime is not strict. So the press are blowing much of it way out of proportion

Oh well thats sorted then if Friedel says so

What's more likely to be true? A story with directly attributable quotes to Friedel or a story saying the opposite with no quotes whatsoever.

According to my journo contact, things are ten times worse than what the papers are printing.

You need to back that up with facts
Why would journo's hold back if they had more fuel for the fire?
They're looking for a story when there isn't one

anyone know a hitman ??

I know two, think they've retired though. I tend not to ask them about 'work' mind.

That's all he said really. He also said that sacking Houllier would create a huge 'feel-good factor' amongst the squad, and that even if we were actively looking for a replacement, the talk of backing GH would still be happeneing. So I'm still hopeful.

I'd like to see him gone, but it ain't gonna happen.
As I said before, I think the board are in bullish 'we're sticking to our guns' mode.

It'll cost us dear.

I have a feeling he will be gone in the summer even if we stay up, jump or pushed though is the question.

I'm sure it will all come out Percy, just hope we're not looking at hosting the likes of Doncaster next season.

I've done more Villa games this season than for many a year. I've yet to see us lose as well.

Right, whose going to organise the whip-round to get DC to every game between now and the end of the season?!

What's the win: draw ratio, Dave?

Eight wins, one draw (the Man Utd home 2-2).

In a particularly shit season you have to say that's bloody good going innit?

Hmm, eight wins? Have we even managed that many in total this season, cups included?!
