I liked the half-time blokes in giant hamster balls demo.

Yeah, what was that? Briefly saw it but the lure of an over priced bottle of water had a greater attaction.

Apparently ST holders can apply via the OS to have a go, and if you get selected and win you get some 'fantastic prizes' (i.e Villa Village voucher?)

I reckon a Doug v Randy one would keep people in their seats at half time. ;D

Another game where we were not entertained........................each week gets worse does it not? I think its obvious now who we need as manager either  Brendan Rodgers or Paul Lambert let's get some excitement back down Villa Park before we all get bored................. how much more of this can we or are we expected to take....

No, each game doesn't get worse. Rodgers and Lambert are flavour of the month but you'll soon find another saviour when they lose a couple of games.

Anyway, what happened to all these Villa fans that think just like you?

your right about the 'flavour of the month' thing, a few months ago it was Moyes and Hughes, both in my view would be no better than what we have now,
having said that i would take Rogers or Lambert, just like the way there teams play the game

I agree with what you are saying but I also think some of the blame is down to the playing personnel as well.  The reason why Swansea play so well is that all their players have been coached in the right way to play that style of football.  they have been playing this style from the Martinez days and clearly have stuck to this philosophy and recruited players who are technically good to do it.  I think GH wanted to do this when he was employed.  Players like Warnock, Hutton, Collins and to a certain extent Petrov (although i may be slightly wrong about that)are not really that technical in my opinion.  Our full backs are prob the worst in the league when it comes to tehnical ability

No each week doesn't get worse, unless you think Saturday was worse than Swansea. As for how much are we expected to take, stop the hysterics. We're a mid-table Premier League team. Go on here and say how hard done to you feel: www.darlofc.co.uk

Typical. Jump on the back of any current success story. It will be the same when the transfer rumours start coming through. There will be people like you mentioning prospects as if they are household names.
I will start you off with Armin Bacinovic. Is he any good?
