Whats the point ?

Some people talk like they're surprised, its been many years, apart from the odd exception, since footballers were loyal. If you were offered a better job you'd walk, obviously handled badly by someone but fuck em, players come players go.

I watched dross for 95% of the season then had the time of my life at Baggies quarter final, Semi final and (despite the result) the Cup final and played with Nigel Spink on Villa Park in a supporters club match after the Burnley game, that why I keep coming back.   

As well as the scintillating match day company........

I am pretty much with you here Simon. I am amazed when people believe that players are genuinely loyal to a club - unless they are winning trophies a club is just an employer to them, with the possible exception of players who join as kids and come through the age groups.

And for all the slagging off of Man City, they are pretty much what I hoped we may become under Lerner. Bastards....

I see the sky viewing figures for the ashes are pretty horrendous. Sky killing another sport off.

Going to cancel sky . That will help the healing process.

See you weren't too bothered about Sky killing another sport off then!

Despite the last few days, I'm glad we are not Man City. Times have moved on but if we are to be a success i hanker for the way the 80 to 82 team was formed and money wasnt the over whelming factor. I realise it will never happen again like that

I honestly thought that Delph with his decision to stay with us would of put him into the category of villa legends.
But he has gone so this great club will pick its self up dust its self down and start all over again.
When I was younger I thought that if andy Gary or Brian little wasn't playing then there is no way we can win but these players along with others have come and gone. But we are Aston villa and we will carry on like only we can and look forward to the next Gray, little, Delph benteke etc wearing the famous claret and blue.
Don't let these players get you down its life and life moves on and so will Aston villa.

Aston villa my life my team my everything

Amazing Really.....within a week a person can go from the cusp of Club Legend to a Poxy Little Runt

[class-of-82]

Black pearl your right
He was not the first and he certainly won't be the last to do what he did

He gave us his undying love back in January...then played his heart out for us till 30th May...We Loved him...showed us total commitment on sat 11th July...then shits on our doorstep...One Step from Villa Greatness...Have to admire Stevie G and the few others who honour the ONE club policy...Gabby with his critics is ONE of them....we need a team of Charlie Aitken type characters.

So lets start nourishing our young talent...they will make mistakes but they will learn, they will be world beaters one week..next week they will be non league losers...but its part of the process to Honour Thy Club...There are no Oil fields in B6 unlike Manchester!

See you weren't too bothered about Sky killing another sport off then!

The funny thing is I don't know if there are many sports which Sky have killed off, but then that might be just because I don't watch many sports to begin with.  Tennis and Rugby still seem to be going quite strong for example.

Darts and snooker are odd ones. I couldn't name you a top snooker player and no more than a couple in darts, neither sport is talked about as much as it used to be, yet the crowds and the money seem bigger than ever.

Is he a top player anymore? I honestly don't know.

[Chris Jameson]

Dave, if a bizarre set of circumstances leads to us teaming up to appear on Pointless we're fucked if there is a darts or snooker question.

[PeterWithesShin]

Are Cliff Lazarenko and Bill Werbeniuk still top player?
