A curse against Birmingham City? My ears are burning

Well I wouldn't dispute Rooney being one of the better players in the team but then that's a pretty hollow compliment, it is England we're talking about.

So Spurs just won a trophy...damn you Avram, Jose could always win the friggin' Carling Cup, why couldn't you? And Ballack should have started but y'know, whatever, Villa and BVB won.

Heh. As if Arsenal didn't already have a persecution complex, now imagine how they're going to feel. With all sincerity, poor ol' Eduardo, I really hope its not the end of his career. But as for Birmingham City, when will they learn? If Richard Scudamore wants to get in everyone's good graces he should deduct them ten points; some good should come from this tragedy!

I'm going to Villa-Sunderland on March 22nd, my first match since Fulham away last season. That itself was my first for nearly three years as I refused to make the effort to watch David O'Leary's shambles of a team. So all told I haven't seen Villa win since August 2003, which was against Leicester. And we never beat them!

Can someone please make me a signature using the picture below? With my name on it, too.

So just to clarify, Charles Itandje was a joke purchase, right? That was Rafa just horsing around, yeah? Surely there's no way he can be a real goalkeeper.

So just to clarify, the old dude is Natasha's boyfriend, yes?

Ed, are you apart of this supporter campaign to overthrow the Ugly Americans?

Never a dull day with the transfer window! Its more like 31. The most curious transfer I've seen relates to Alfonso Alves signing for Middlesbrough, from Herenveen. Oh those big sexy January transactions! Meanwhile Villa have been linked with Tottenham alumni Pascal Chimbonda, and wait for it, Wayne Routledge. Oh boy oh boy!

Looks like Jens Lehmann won't be joining BVB. "Personal reasons". Nothing to do with money. Nope.

I can't believe I forgot to mention our friends in the north, the Toon Army. Poor Big Sam.
