If trying to hide the fact you were wrong, don't quote yourself in the next post.

Not in the league it wasn't. In fact, I think we finished 10th on both occasions if I remember correctly !
Fifth in 1996 but nice try.

You'll get there in the end.

Fact. 100%. Et cetera.

Fourth.

Good call. That'll teach me to use a table from football.co.uk

try reading and copying the whole post rather than cutting and pasting to show something that is wrong.

Do you work for the Sun ?

Yes, it's clearly my fault that you were hilariously incorrect yet again.

OK so I am wrong - you lot are unbelievable - bloody O'Leary was right weren't he - FICKLE

So your arguament on one side  is

Winning cups is successful

Then when I say McLeish has done more than Martinez - you slag me off for it

MAKE YOUR F>>>>G MINDS UP WILL YA

1981 1st
1990 2nd
1994 2nd
2000 - we were 1st up until january window before we didn't but Juninho then it went wrong
2009 ? - was it - cant remember - we were 3rd and challenging for the league.

Apart from those seasons we have NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER even been close to winning the league.

So don't make bullshit up that we have - OK !

Yes we won a league cup here and there - great days, but cups dont mean great seasons, ask Blues and Portsmouth !

And do you know what -

1981 - we had a manager who had proved himself at Norwich and took Man City to a cup - and moved down a league to join us

1990 - we had a manager who had proved himself, took Watford from 4th division to 1st division top 3 and a cup final

1994 - had a manager who had managed Man U , won several cups and was usually around top 3 in league

2000 - novice manager - the one exception

2009 - a manager who had won cups, took Leicester to Europe, and had won European cups as a player

Getting the hint on why they were probably successful  at the Villa ?

Maybe not, coz you've lost the bloody arguament so just act like 6 yr olds making childish remarks.

(and this site has the audacity to slag off Villa talk)

We finished second in 1993. Juninho was 1999. You missed out 1983 and '96. Saunders didn't move down a league - he was unemployed. Incidentally, as you're so keen to quote manager polls, he got about 3% when he was appointed.

OK Holtepaul is entertaining and to be fair about 60% accurate. Personally we died as a big club the day Collymore signed -  a stupid signing which antagonised Townsend, Staunton and Yorke as he guaranteed himself the highest wage, and let Liverpool off the hook big style. Little was shown to be weak that day after 2 years of promise.

Right my source (the one confirmed Bent was coming to Villa and who said Downing may be on his way, which I got berated for) suggested that Ancelotti was 1st choice. A big No No on his part and probably will be Roma or Italy manager from July 2012. Then it was up for grabs. McLaren (in part due to these boards) was told not to even bother but was invited by Faulkner for interview. He would be like Gt at Wolves in 94/95. We dodged a huge bullet in not hiring Houllier-Spanish-version because FSW is not actually a caricature of himself - he is really like that. Hence Faulkner needs to be binned soon.
Moyes (2nd choice) is not available for interview - genuinely dunno why, Martinez has been interviewed (obviously) and Hughes may have been too (he may be an if - not sure). There are 2-3 others who are in the frame in the event all of the above falls through.

If I have genuine information I will post otherwise I will just enjoy the normal banter.

As far as the manager's position goes:  Why doesn't Barry take it?

There's a point in there somewhere. Fcuked if I know what it is though. Has Brian Little -with his lack of success pre Villa- been airbrushed from history now as that example doesn't suit?
