We also had an argument about whether we were definitely getting relegated a couple of months ago.
Yes we did.  What's your point?

I loved this bit.

Villa’s local rivals West Brom were too, however their proposal of a loan with an option to buy was considered a non-starter.

Typical Smethwick cheap skates.

Sounds like West Brom blew their budget on Diagana and are now reliant on loans.

That you're sooo negative about the Villa (winky)

Anyway, apparently it's 20 years to the day that Luc Nilis' career was ended at Ipswich. Might be an idea to show Ollie his goal against Chelsea and tell him to mix-up a few tap-ins with swivel-worldies like that one.

That you were wrong then and just as likely to be wrong now.

If Watkins signs a 5 year deal - I will be nearly 61 when that finishes!!!
