Reading through this l realise how little non Villa football I now watch, I've never heard of Fonte either and I must have seen him play for Soton at least a few times.

Although.. checking twitter seeing all the Soton fans saying "why would he leave us and European football for a relegation battle in a shithole.." and saying it'll never happen makes me 100% up for this. Sign him up, just to piss off the wankers.

If he wanted to leave European football and end up battling relegation in a shithole then staying at Southampton would be the right choice.

Got to say I don't particularly rate Fonte, but maybe I'm missing something.

Koeman has just said there's no way they'd sell Fonte.

Dunno what he's so upset about. There's no way we'll sell N'Zogbia.

Can't see Clarke dropping down the pecking order for anyone
He gets or is near to MOTM virtually every time he plays nowadays

Do you mean we will have to give him away if someone will take him?

What always makes me laugh when Nzogbia is being discussed is even after the Zog has put in yet another totally shit performance, some poster always says ' I still think there's a player in there though'

Because they're a small club who have had a couple of good seasons in the last 30 years, that's why c***s, don't get above your station.

Just like yo-yo champions Leicester and Stoke, a side that were build on borderline cheating. You've had a couple of decent seasons where you either haven't been relegated or finished around 10th, calm down dears.

I honestly hate - hate - just or recently promoted clubs.

They get into the top flight and they're full of all that "Premier League, you're having a laugh" bollocks just because they're over excited at being able to visit big grounds. They are pretty much always a bunch of overexcited twats who were doubtless nowhere near their club for decades while they were mooking about in the third division.

They manage to stay in the top flight a couple of years, after years and years of being a pointless yo-yo club, and they're all giving it big about "clubs like Villa".

I read that stuff about Stoke fans the other day and it made me want to vomit. Honestly, years of not being in the top flight, a few of being there and becoming the absolute by-word for dirty, cynical, zero entertainment, followed by a short spell of being less fuck ugly to watch and a bit of spending and they think they're Barcelona.

Remember those ingratiating, smug Stoke twats we used to get on here?

I hate these people.

Stoke, a City as close to purgatory as you could imagine, playing a version of Football not seen since Wimbledon bludgeoned there way up the divisions with a mix of intimidation, thuggery and big bastards in the air. They invented the designated throw in taker ffs, and a twat at the sidelines with a towel tucked in his massive waist line to help when it was wet.

Just 8 years ago, that's all, 8, we're playing infront of 16,000 attendances in a promotion season, with 2 top 10 finishes in the top flight IN 40 FUCKING YEARS, the last two. If anything sums up the Sky sports, transfer fee rolling total, Chelsea are a huge club, memory like a goldfish generation it's these wankers.

Two season in 40 years they've finished as a top 10 side, probably finished above us on a handful of occasions, I wouldn't be surprised if they've never had an average attendance higher than ours and they've the cheek to look down on us as a perennial, boring, non entity small club.

They can get to fuck the clowns, they're tiny. And as for Southampton, how many times did they have debts cancelled and go in to administration? Nothing more than fucking cheats and piss pot clubs.

This is why we've needed to get our shit in order, having clubs like Southampton, Stoke and Leicester trying to throw their weight around makes me sick. We need to start twatting them again, in front of 40,000's to remind their tiny memories of what we are like, 5 years is too long for the little sky boys to remember.

Who bloody are ya.

That's what I think but if Sherwood really wants to spend a probably not unsubstantial sum on a first team player from another PL side then he will be going into our first team.  And as he's made Richards our captain that leaves one man to make way.

I don't want to go down the 'how low have we sunk' well trodden path but..... if no marks like Soton, Stoke and Norwich are pulling in 30k crowds we should have a bigger ground by now to cope with demand, we are bigger than all three of them put together.

If there was a war, I'd follow aj2k77 into battle. I imagine him to be Churchillian.

Are we really? Why? Because we won some trophies mostly ovey 100 years ago and had 5-6 years of success starting 40 odd years ago?

The main reason is we have 4m people within a 15 minute drive of the biggest team around and as yet, we haven't capitalised on it.
