90% villa , 100% Manchester city

[Risso]

Not to mention Curtis Davies.

Inherit Mellberg and Cahill.  Shift Mellberg to right back, drop Cahill then buy Zat Knight and Curtis Davis for £10m+.  Genius.

Have you noticed the theme of who helping city lose the title

Luke Moore, Gary Cahill, Peter Crouch the last 3 players to score against city. Next Manchester City v Sunderland,

Step up one Craig Gardner?

May be if we kept team of 2002 -05, we now be in top 3??

And to think when we were going for the premier league title, Keith Curle caught the ball to gift us a penalty when we were stuttering and they had good luck Villa banners in the away end. 

That game was one of the few times I was a right sider. Didn't the banner say something like "Good luck Villa from the city of Manchester"?

One of the few times we let you in.

The right side was for the righteous.

I had mixed results on the right side. The only times I remember being that side were the first Inter game, Oldham when we lost the league, the City game and the European game where that bloke kept playing a bugle over the tannoy.

The left side was definitely where it was at.

Much as I liked Cahill and ridgewell I don't think they were the answer for us at that time. Ridgewell was proper grafter, but positionally terrible and always prone to make a mistake. Though fair play to him, I did think he improved at the blues. Selling Cahill was an unbelievably poor bit of business. Anyone could see he would make it at prem level. Shocking decision by oneill.

Don't forget "total refusal to buy a proper right back for the best part of three years, then buy two of them, but never play one and play a centre half instead of the other one most of the time" too.

Although my favourite was "buy an entire defence one summer, then the next summer, buy another entire defence and just get Marlon or Emile in to fill gaping hole up front"

So brilliant that we stole a march on manure with those deals!

Not to mention letting one of those right-backs go to another club for £2m only to sign him for £6m the following summer.
