Be great if ISIS had a team in the Turkish league. Wouldn't fancy the away game much.

Reckon their home, away and third strips would all be black.

You can imagine the star centre forward scoring, kissing his team mate and then being led to the nearest tall building.

First thing they do after taking over the club = go to trophy room, smash all trophies to pieces.

Senderos going must surely mean another centre back coming in. Lescott?

Not necesscelery. Clark, Richards, Okore and Baker is enough for a team that will play 45 games tops this season (including a heartbreaking semi final).

Given injury history we need five centre backs. I think crespo can play there though so maybe he's the fifth

What an inspired signing Senderos turned out to be.

Whatever the reasoning behind going for Senderos over Lescott last summer, it will always rank to me as one of Villa's most baffling transfers.

I have no real reason for thinking this except for, given the early summer interest in the Stoke 'keeper Begovic (sp), it wouldn't surprise me if we brought in a new goalie.

All four have had their fair share of injuries, so I definitely think we need another option if Senderos is leaving.  I don't want to be in the position again where we are relying on Baker to play a run of games.

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.

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.

You do realise Southampton have been in the top flight for 30 out of the last 37 years and only been relegated once in that time, don't you?

Southampton have one of the best Academies in the world, have 30k+ through the gate each week, are a club being run well in profit and are currently the 'best of the rest' in terms of the league, not to mention currently playing in Europe.

Do you HONESTLY think Fonte would walk away from being the Captain of Southampton in exchange for a relegation scrap with Villa?

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.

We went in to administration because of an overdraft of £5m and a mortgage. A debt of less than a Luke Shaw fee. The debts were paid off on purchase.

This happened just once.

Some of you don't seem to know much about football, do you?
