Harris is a top bloke from what I remember, kept everything running nice and smoothly, kept the fans informed too which is mighty important at a football club. But this guy is normaly on the buying side of deals, rather than selling. Ellis used Rothschild FWIW.

Sunderland a better midfield than us? Richardson - Malbranque - Leadbitter - Reid Milner - Reo-Coker - Barry - Young I'd love to see the argument for that one....

First off, thank you for your kind words. A) I tend to try and hold myself back when I talk about Young on other forums because people think it's simply bias, but in this case I'll be completely honest. He's absolutely [Poor language removed] class. He has all the abilities you list in abundance and his...

Punching above your weight? What a crass, classless thing to say to the fans of one of the biggest clubs in the land. These rich boys buying their toys is only a fairly recent development and on the whole the test cases have not gone well, you only have to look down the way to Liverpool FC to...

We get this question down the Villa all the time. You know what, I don't think they exist anymore. Individual players have to have their set jobs, they're no longer allowed the freedom to run up and down like a headless chicken.

Somebody asked about Randy Lerner. Well, we absolutely love him. He and Martin have transformed Aston Villa from a club dying a slow and painful death into one of the most upwardly mobile in the country. We've had our sense of history and pride restored with a series of moves on and off the...

Meh, to be honest mate it was such a long time ago in football terms I really can't be arsed worrying about it. It's a long old season and when you're fighting at the top end you have to learn to pick yourself up and move on. So no sour grapes, if I thought you deserved your win I would say...

Even if I tell you that if you feed the Hare, he will score?

One thing I think we can all agree on, Geordies are [Poor language removed] deluded. Honestly, I've not met one that lives in the real world.

Dirty dirty Stoke. Get into them from the off and don't let them bully you like we did. Hopefully you will get a referee with half a brain cell who will not let them get away with their nasty tricks. Anyone but Mark Halsey then. Honestly, they were very lucky against us and on another day...

:D Midfield is the last position where we need another squad player. Will take Anichebe off your hands though if you like, swap you Marlon Harewood and a subscription to Viz?

Maybe. Though I would be concerend as an Everton fan that the likes of Arteta (who is [Poor language removed] brilliant by the way) and Lesott may have their heads turned should you have a crappy time. I know as a Villa fan we're only one bad season away from clinging on to Ashley Young for dear life. I...

I must be in the minority here as an outsider, I quit rate Phil Neville as a midfielder. He works his tatters off and shows real commitment. He does lack that extra something but he strikes me as a decent player to have around when the going gets tough. Idealy, I'm not sure you want him...

It's interesting that you mention Pompey becaus I don't think they have what it takes at all. I think they got very very lucky last year and I can see some regression from them. The injuries will sort themselves out I'm sure.

Gabby seriously needs to improve on his work ethic. It's our only real area of concern to be honest, up front. We've got a nice deep midfield squad wise and plenty of quality at the back. But if we get a couple of injuries to Gabby and Carew we have to rely on Harewood and an untested 17 year...
