Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[b23]

Locko. It's the C21.

Assuming you're older than 16 ?

You were born in C20. Is that not last century ?

Are you another argumentative pedant lawyer from the Black Country ? 

[dave shelley]

I thought they were all updated Clive Sinclair C5's.

[Dave]

A century is a hundred years. Two centuries is two hundred years.

You said "One of the most successful teams in English football ? Yes. But two centuries ago"

It's not really pedantry to point out that it's just not correct. If you'd said "yes, but in the nineteenth century" then you might have a point (although still far from a watertight one), but "two centuries ago"? Nope.

Fucking hell are we still arguing if Villa haven't won anything for 200 years? Anyone but the biggest plank has to accept we've won 7 leagues, 7 Fa Cups, 5 league Cups and the big one. 20 trophies major trophies. Doesn't matter how they were won, doesn't matter when they were won, they are part of the club and it's history and will be so until we fold. Until other clubs catch up and surpass those totals we will remain one of the most successful football clubs in England and here's to us adding a few more.

There are too many two bit fucking nobodies in the media who are delighted at our situation and who are positively yearning for villa to go down.

I'm sick of every fucker and his dog queuing up to comment on our club.

I will love it, fucking love it, when Remi steers us to safety and all those fuckers line up to tell everyone how they always knew he would be a success.

Fuckers.

[mr underhill]

yes, fuck the fuckers!

It's semantics ?

You're older than 16 ?

But born last century.

[b23]

That's true.

World Club Championship participants too.

Which century of silverware would you choose ?

The one in which we won the most, so that'll be the twentieth.

I'll take the C19 th.

Serial League and FA Cup winners.

Good for you. I'll take the numbers.

Good for you too.

In the C19 Villa won a major honour every 3.25 years.

Villa did win a lot in the C20. But not every 3.25 years

I'll take the numbers too.

So you will take the numbers that spin us as less successful? I know another set of fans who do that.

Are you still here from that cup match?

[b23]

Percy. i'll take nothing from you.

Try some research.

[Percy McCarthy]

Percy. i'll take nothing from you.

Try some research.

Everything we have ever won is burned into my brain with pride. I painted a huge mural on a wall at work of our honours list (including runners-up) to annoy the noses. All from memory and I didn't have to look up a single thing. I don't need to research it.

I just choose not to spin it in a negative way.

Not sure where this could have gone - Chris Ramsey sacked as QPR boss.  Wonder how things could have worked if Sherwood had had him as part of the management structure?

[Richard E]

Collymore reckoned on Twitter yesterday that QPR had sounded Sherwood out to replace Ramsey.

[Villa in Denmark]

Collymore reckoned on Twitter yesterday that QPR had sounded Sherwood out to replace Ramsey.

Bloody hell, that could make for spectacular car crash TV, once his "proper football bloke" persona starts to wear a bit thin. And you'd think that there's no way he can have Ramsey as his assistant now.

[ozzjim]

Spurs fans always said Ramsey was the brains. Shame it might have been different.
