Fred West was a rubbish builder.

When they demolished his house the BBC reported it as "the house of Gloucester builder Fred West." I am not sure his profession is what most people remember him for.

Being from Gloucester?

I'm from Gloucester. Fred West was from Herefordshire

My condolences on being from Gloucester.

I'd take Flores who leaving Watford.  He understands the game and can adapt with British and foreign recruits.

Flores would be nice now Watford's board have chucked him. Plays nice attractive football. Smart man.

Listened to Watford fans on talk sport who think he gave up as soon as they got enough points for safety. He took a siesta! Not driven enough for the job ahead at Villa. Going back to Spain, apparently touted himself for jobs over there since before Christmas. No, from me.

There was a Watford fan on the guardian football podcast and he was, and suggested most the fans, had been critical of Flores.  Too defensive and plays too many players out of position, primarily centre-backs at full back and centre midfielders as wingers.  The chap said that he wouldn't use the flair players in the squad, including an expensive signing in january, despite being pretty much safe.

El MON.

is it true that Fred West was a Vila fan?

No he was a Villa fan, stood on the witton end, but refused to go when they put the admission fee up to 2 quid

Is this a wind up?

Bobby Sands as well. Apparently he used to get stick from fellow inmates in H Block for being a Villa fan.

And he died a few days after we on the league

Martinez wanted to change the Everton style of play after Moyes has drummed a particular style into them, over many years.  No wonder it failed, although he did have a good couple of years or so to do it I suppose. Whilst the guy bores me to sleep, I think his style might actually get better use at Villa as we need a complete overhaul and Martinez can start from scratch. He had an existing squad at Everton and they struggled with him trying to play more cultured football. So, for that reason, I wouldn't mind Martinez coming in. I would prefer him to RDM for sure.

The sun are saying we want pulis.  I would not set foot in Villa park with him as manager. I want to start taking my lad regularly next season.  I want him to enjoy it.  Not be so bored he never goes back.

It's all gone very quiet. Well more quiet. I can only assume that

a)They have their man and are just waiting for the formalities of  finishing the season and letting Black leave with a bit of grace.
b)They're still waiting to see who loses their job in the summer before deciding
c)They scrubbed the list Bernstein gave them, and are now running around like headless chickens trying to find managers who will do exactly what they tell them for less money than our previous ones.
d)Lerner with his long running man U fixation is waiting for Mourinho to get the job so we can have Giggs

I hope its a) or b), but its more likely to be c) and d)

I just read that in the BBC gossip column. What a horrible way to start a Sunday with that in mind.
