I like Warnock . Always says good things about Villa and talks well.

With him, I can't think of many players where their form fell off a cliff quite so dramatically. He cost a fair whack for the time, was great for the first half of his first season with us, and was being talked about as an England regular. But then he went completely and utterly shit and was in the Championship a couple of years later.

It always seems odd when things like that happen then you listen to him talk about that time and his experiences and you see there's so much more going on than just what we see on the pitch.

Houllier in particular comes across as a right arsehole, and I know there's two sides and everything but it's not the first time I've heard stuff like that about him.

Well the video certainly explains the bombing out after the City game. I didn't get chance to listen to him under McLeish which would be the part which Risso mentioned.

He's quite involved in the NBC Premier League coverage over here in the States.  Always talks well, comes across as a good bloke.  Nothing bad to say about him.

Agreed, like Warnock as a pundit.

He reviews the weekends results on Sky Sports News on a Monday morning with Sue Smith, who is also excellent btw, & Warnock knows his stuff & comes across well.

I never rated him as a player, but then at the time we were a shit-show, but I like him as a pundit.

That video is an insult to Villa fans. And to think that utter c*** O'Neill successfully sued the club for unfair dismisal. The wanker should have been done for fraud and stealing a living.

Makes my blood boil hearing about O'Neill. To think what we could have done had we got a proper manager in over that period.

When he reels off the players we had again you wonder how good we could've been then with proper coaching and training. What a fucking waste.

Having a go at a player like Milner because he the brass neck to actually ask to do some proper training? And you can understand why he took against Luke Young, if he had the similar temerity to take the warm ups. Fucking hell.

It’s Gabby for me.  Running the dressing room.  I’ve seen other recent podcasts where O’Neill says back in on Tuesday and he goes to him and persuades him that they’ll be back on Thursday.  And as many of us suspected at the time they were totally fcuked by March each season he was there and now we know why.  What a Cnut he was.  As well as the Manager.

For all I enjoyed watching the team at that time it did all seem a bit spur of the moment on the pitch.  Something that went unnoticed at the time I suppose.

Matches take their toll on squads. Understandable after 50+ games like this season, criminal after 30 games, season after season, under spoilt brat that was MON.

I don't think it did, not from me anyway. Whenever we came up against real thinkers and proper modern coaches we looked inferior, we relied on magic and set pieces.

Imagine Emery with that team. Anybody pissing off to Marbs for a couple of days wouldn't be coming back.
