We're going to have Spurs poisoned?
Its a bit of a left handed way to go about it but, alright.

It worked for Arsenal a few years ago.

A killer virus would be more sporting.  Like Motaba, in the film Outbreak. 

Too obvious. We just want them throwing their ribcage up, not throwing a seven.

Harry will probably not be in charge for the villa game as he will either be sacked or he will walk due to some contract problems.  Spurs players will be shocked and wont want to play hence giving us a great chance of getting 3 points!  woohoo!

Come on DC5, spill the beans then.

Leaving us hanging after that set up really isn't cricket you know.
We know that others read this thread so to divulge anything material to the playing side would be detrimental to ourselves. I can report that Alex McLeish and Sid are both in good spirits. We are quite confident about the Spurs game.

Have we paid Redknapp off to let us win or something?

Redknapp, when asked how the game was going to go, is believed to have nodded and winked. There must be something in it.

Or.... something the gaffer talked about a while back...

It's Emile at centre-back, isn't it? Spraying it around, Beckenbauer stylee? Keeping tabs on RDV?

Even if they don't turn up I'd still bet on 0-0.

If he's playing Emile, I think we'd struggle to get 0.

Shay Given insists under-fire Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish still retains the support of the dressing room.

And the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper insists it is up to everyone to take responsibility for the club's current plight.

Given told BBC Radio Five Live: "Every manager in the Premier League's job is on the line but obviously we're under a bit of pressure and Alex is under a bit of pressure.

"But we have got to take responsibility ourselves, players and staff alike.

"Does McLeish still have dressing room support? Yes of course he does, he's a fantastic manager and we're all right behind him but we'd obviously like results to be better this season."


Come on Shay, 'fantastic'? Really?

Well it has been observed that the goalkeeper is often the star player in a Mcleish team so maybe from Shay's point of view he really is fantastic.

That's not Emile, that's James Collins. Collins middle name may as well be Beckenbaur. I've never known a player hit so many 40 yard passes to feet as him.
