I think Eck is capable of finding the right defenders I mean, look who he bought for the blouse. Dann and Johnson were top singings for them, especially in their first season back in prem under eck. We also need another winger or two to add some competition for Zoggy and Albrighton.

Wasn't it him who shelled out £4m for Hutton?
was anyone else at half time yesterday disscussing who you wanted in the next round Boro or Sunderland, and how you were going to get there ?all to no avail
Well I enjoyed the whole day out apart from the second half. They raise your hopes so much just for you to get kicked in the guts - but then thats the Villa for you. Half time I was feeling young again, Darren Bent scoring from that angle made me think of Brian Little.Second visit to the Emirates and although it full of fickle cockney wankers, I'm getting to like the stadium. They at least try to celebrate their history with the stuff all round the outside walls, but someone really should throw a pot of paint on the O'Dreary picture. Had a look at the old Highbury for the first time (oh, walking along that street in 1981), and again credit for how two stands have been retained and turned into apartments, you can still picture a football ground was there. I commented to my brother how it was so much better than if it had just been flattened and had a supermarket put on it. But he said it wouldn't have worked the same at Fellows Park.I was born 23 days after Johnny Dixon lifted the cup for Villa. The first time I saw us knocked out was when my Dad took me to Liverpool for a 4th round tie in 1967, we lost 1-0.I think 2013 will be our year, when is the draw for the 3rd round ?

Wasn't it him who shelled out £4m for Hutton?Yes it was but dont forget that he also bought 2 central defenders which were the rock at the back of the noses defence which ultimately made it difficult from teams to break them down. Im not saying every signing of his is good as it clearly isnt but sometimes, you have to give credit where credit is due and he deserves it for the signings of Dann and Johnson. as a combination they were good.
