The guy is on another level, tactics, analysis, work ethic, knowledge the lot. When you compare the SG who just put players in at random and hoped it would work...it's worlds apart.

I am feeling weirdly optimistic about the Villa.

It's quite something that two of the most significant results in our recent history have been defeats against Fulham...

Football fans at every club are only ever comfortable when we have something to worry about. It’s part of the pschy.

I hope he doesn't get poached.


Is this an egg-based pun for something we've all overlooked?

If I were either Potter or Rodgers I'd take a bit of time out. We saw what happened with Dean at Norwich.

Dean's profile wasn't as high as those two though, and I think Norwich was probably about the best he could hope for at the time.

'Only' 15 games, but a win percentage of 60%.

As somebody (apologies, I can't remember who) said earlier, something serious is happening.

Oh but you'll remember the bloody caravan alright

Other people keep reminding me!

All true, but he went there way too soon for his own good IMAO. He'd have been better waiting till the summer and getting a plum Championship job (I know he ended up getting himself a plum Championship job, but you know what I mean).

Chelsea seem to have started basing the manager's position on the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council.

Although they've still got a way to go to match Watford's take on the anarcho-syndicalist commune.

Not seeing Unai as likely, I would have been happy with Potter coming to Villa, he only went to Chelsea 6 weeks before we twisted.

Somehow it adds to the satisfaction that we recruited Unai, skillful enough in his remarkable rehabilitation/resurrection (continuing the Egg/Easter theme) of some players that it's not a slow build youth only jam tomorrow approach, enough clear progress evidence to potentially convince a new signing of where we are going, AND enough of a big name/presence/track record to show when we get closer to/there, he's a man to achieve what we all want.

Echoing the unfamiliarity of the optimism, all of a sudden the keeping the ST with a wrigglebottom little one in tow starting to look a better and better decision.
