Can we get back on to no transfers for Villa please, and accept that discussing Stoke is as interesting as the football they erm... play?

Eck said no more again after the game tonight, my heart sank. A left back and a central midfield player are badly needed, as shown again today.

Acording to the Sunday Express this morning (from the Beeb, I don't buy the rag!) we tried to temot Liverpol with a deal for Carroll involving Bent!

I read that this morning and that would just be silly. So much so that I don't believe it one bit!

I could see LFC instigating this deal but to think Villa would 'tempt' them with a deal involving Bent would seem as inviting as being 'tempted' to see how far you could lower your knackers into a threshing machine.

That Bent story must be bollocks, surely?

just journo's covering their tracks because they were so off the mark. They started the Bent to Liverpool rumour, AM tells them Dalglish doesn't want him, so now its us who instigated it. Certainly wasn't because it was a complete non-story in the first place.

Why is it that anything between Villa and Liverpool seems to hit the press before any official contact between the clubs.  Also, it makes the headlines and is not just amongst all the rest of the transfer rumours.  We do not seem to have the same problem with other clubs.

I used to admire Liverpool as a club in the 70s and 80s when they were a great team but now they have sunk so low in my estimation for the way they run their club that I want any team that plays them to beat them and that would even extend to our friends down the road.  Liverpool bring football into disrepute.

I agree OMVF. I'm starting to hope that the club, their overrated, whining, racist fans, their c*** of a manager and players like Gerrard, Downing, Carragher and Suarez (to a man prize c***s) will be sucked down a black hole. Hopefully some time soon.

You've both nailed it there. I really Man City put out a full side in the second leg of the Carling and batter them. The thought of Liverpool lifting silverware turns my stomach. King Kenny my fucking bollocks he is.

The media is turning on the hobbited one. Their handling of the Saurez thing was completely unacceptable, and has removed an awful lot of credibility, and the truth is Dalglish has spent vast sums on top 6 not top 2 quality.

I've hated Liverpool since the seventies, but that's a different story, anyway...

...QPR looking at Ireland apparently, not the country that is, but our player!
