December 17, 20159 yr Jose mutually consented by Chelsea. I wouldn't want to be their next opponents... d'oh!
December 18, 20159 yr Bad news for aged housewives of the home counties who, as we all know, are bound by the terms of their wedding vows to make one 'cheeky' reference per year involving Mourinho being 'dishy' to their pudgy, baldy former insuranceman husbands.
December 20, 20159 yr Perhaps needless to say, I was hoping that Jose wouldn't get the boot until after we played Chelsea, but when you make a start as woeful as that, you can't realistically expect to get a result against anyone. With Norwich and Bournemouth both winning, it was an easy decision to skip Match of the Day for about the 15th time this season. Nice to see the Chelsea fans wheeling out their famously excellent sign making skills once again, though.
December 22, 20159 yr 36 minutes ago, Michael* said: So, how exactly will Arsenal mess this one up? January 1st - "I am delighted to welcome back Abou Diaby. I believe he has the quality and mental stwength to help us fight for this title." January 2nd - Abou Diaby hit by an asteroid Etc etc
December 22, 20159 yr I suppose it would be quite Arsenal to finish above City, United, Liverpool and Chelsea, but come second behind Leicester.
December 22, 20159 yr It would be the most Arsenal of Arsenal seasons if that happened. Someone will also need to explain to me how the reward for failing miserably with Chelsea is the Manure job?
December 22, 20159 yr It's probably because he's mates with Fergie, although, having influenced the United board to choose David Moyes as his replacement, you'd think he would have learned to mind his own business by now.
December 26, 20159 yr Fabio Borini to break Jamie Vardy's consecutive goalscoring record in 2016. Each and every strike a consolation effort in a three or four goal defeat.
December 31, 20159 yr On 30/12/2015 at 2:32 PM, Frederick said: Looking forward to El Crapico: Ecks vs. Sever on Saturday, Michael? At last, the resistable force meets the moveable object. Pros: it might be helpful for the BBC's scheduling people, who won't have to put any thought into what goes last on Match of the Day's running order this Saturday. Cons: any game involving Sunderland at the moment is one that I dread. Big Sam has essentially staked his reputation on keeping us in the Premier League, but I wouldn't trust this lot to beat anybody as far as I could throw Jeremain Lens.
January 1, 20169 yr In my rational heart I know it's probably just Coventry fans hacking Geocities and fiddling the sums but still, my New Years Resolution is to stop gawking at the endless supply of grim stats tables that always have us bottom, whether chronicling the last five minutes or previous fifteen thousand years. What you trying to say about my Villa, eh?
January 5, 20169 yr We were outplayed for long periods on Saturday, but having an expert finisher (albeit one whose best days are behind him) can cover for so many deficiencies. Unfortunately, looking at the rest of our team, there's a hell of a lot to cover and if we lose to Swansea then really, you'd have to say we're back to square one. The positive spin is that we're no longer cut adrift with the prospect of some significant changes in personnel over the transfer window. That being said, bearing in mind the total lack of quality in most of our recent investments, the jury is going to be out for a while yet. For what it's worth, I thought the Villa fans were excellent, bringing plenty of support and getting behind their team. It's a shame that such a well supported club has been let down by its ownership.
January 5, 20169 yr José, having cleared his dance card and flashing an obscene amount of ankle is getting mightily impatient with Manure's apparent lack of attention.

I went to scout er I mean prepare for Villa's future no, sorry, watch a League 2 game instead of engaging with the game. Can't believe I didn't have a flutter on Jermain Man to score, free money!
January 8, 20169 yr Just sat my little lad down. Broke the news as gently as I could. He bawled his eyes out, bless him. Naturally, he's off school today. "But father, Jermaine Jenas was my favourite player."
January 8, 20169 yr Following on from Jermaine Jenas, I would also like to officially announce my retirement from professional football.
