5% Villa- Oliver Holt Interview

[sali,salifou]

At the risk of self-publicity (Which I'm totally good with) I interview Oliver Holt recently for European Football Weekends. And I obviously brought up Villa. Thought his views on O'Neil etc... were quite interesting, baring in mind how he's percieved.

He's a decent bloke to be fair.

my god he could be one of the MONettes on here.."yes he wasted a lot of money and you haven't got a pot to piss in now but you finished 6th"


whoopy do...

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'm surprised he could say much, inbetween gargling O'Neill's spunk.

[cheltenhamlion]

Comfortably the finest bellend in print. And I include me and Dave in that.

Which begs the question of how you know how fine Holt's bellend is in comparison to Dave's.

Cheers for that, a good read.  Holt comes across better than he does in print or on the telly but I guess that's to be expected - no doubt he feels obliged to be more opinionated and controversial in his work.  To be fair, he does acknowledge there's another side to the O'Neill argument, which he admits he's not as well-informed on as Villa fans are.

[cheltenhamlion]

Well, Holt's is stringy and has the brevity of Emily Bishop's specs. Dave doesn't have one. Its just a small, dangly, black country, scratching, kept in a bag of toffees.

Holt bought me a drink.
I'll let you make the comparision to Dave.

If he admits he's not too well-read on the subject, why write about it?

[KevinGage]

And in such scathing, emphatic terms. Tosspot.

[Lambert and Payne]

The 1st 3 or 4 questions he kept bringing it back to Ferdinand, its as if he took delight in it...

Not much use having a chief football writer at a daily paper who's only allowed to cover Stockport County.  He's in the instant opinions business; that's why he writes for a tabloid.  Besides, there are still some on here who reckon O'Neill was hard done by.

It wouldn't have been too difficult to find out about it. Or to have been more balanced.

He'd have to go a long way to be as unbalanced on the subject as you are.
