To be fair, Rodgers has to be given time. FSG made their bed. If I'd been a Liverpool fan, I'd have wanted Rafa back, but while I agree with alf about his own dubious buys and rash Carroll decision (made worse by Dempsey debacle), he's been left an awful, awful legacy from former King, and now simply, Kenny. Naturally, I can't stand Liverpool, but its fans are amazing, and it's a proper football club.
Lambo must be delighted with yesterday's result. Eases pressure on him. What do you think of the regime there, stevie? All seems a little odd to me. Villa is never any easy game, and with us having a soft underbelly right now, it'll be a tough game.
Alf, I'd love to see the legend that is Ollie take Palace back up.

I have to disagree. In fact, United probably would love to play Villa every weekend as Villa Park is almost their second home. In 20 years of the PL, I think it's three wins in total over United.
2 at home - one of them a special goal from Mr. Atkinson in 92 and the other was the opening day win in 95 with Alan Hansen famously saying afterwards that "you'll never win anything with kids" That guy knows his stuff.
And then the one win at Old Trafford a few years back when Gabby scored.

May I answer? Oh well, I'm going to anyway. The regime is correct, cutting costs (wages) and getting in younger, more hungry players but it's going to take time for this idea to come to fruition. We're never going to crack the top 4 like this but we'll hopefully become a solid top 10 team breaking into Europe on the odd occasion.
The problem will be that we'll become a selling club... sorry, actually we've become a selling club (Barry, Milner, Young and Downing) over the last few years alone. But it's necessary for us to to become a financially stable club and we have a great youth set-up which is producing some solid players.
I just wish they hadn't wasted last year on Mcleish which has set us back badly. Lambert always had a difficult job to lift the gloom of last year but he's getting there slowly.

Yeah, we have a decent record there, but we have a decent record almost everywhere. Always a tough game and like last year's 1-0, I think it'll be close. Although I'd love for it not to be.

Yeah, McLeish was a weird one. Never quite understood why Martin O'Neill left. No doubt they've been prudent, but with no star names to service wages for and a very healthy crowd each week, I do wonder whether the money is simply making ends meet or becoming profit. I don't know, but am curious. In today's climate, it makes sense to be prudent but it also makes for a boring football club. Villa used to be a big club - it's sad to see how they've become. Old Doug was the same, if not worse, for killing little Villans dreams.
