If Hull go down it will be down to several bad­ decisions by officials in several matches!We may have­ been outplayed by most teams but we gave it our all in­ most matches,probably about 4 where we didn't­ deserve anything & got just that!

going down going down going down there,ll be no­ celebration when hull get relegation going down going­ down going down

Can Hull do a West Ham and beat Man U in the last game­ of the season to avoid relegation? I hope not go back­ to where you belong in a kickers league

Well, this Brown seems to be a man of troubles, just­ like a certain.....special trouble-maker, mourinho! He­ spats with other managers and players and now with his­ own players. He doesn't know how to handle defeat!­ In the first half of the season, he was making the­ headlines for brushing off big teams aside and now, his­ headlines are about rows and fights and fighting­ relegation. truly, it is not the beginning that­ matters, but the end!

Good result lads keep it there.

I respect Barry for saying he wants to play Champions­ League and doing his best to get it with Villa. I think­ he has played the most games for them this season so if­ he goes I feel it will be accepted.
However I feel for­ Hull having a great start then hitting Man Utd and­ Chelsea in a run shot down their progress and­ confidence went out the window from there.
I hope they­ stay up...Newcastle I feel need to go down and comeback­ fresh with a no squad and outlook.

Should Hull be relegated it will purely be down to that­ on pitch half-time team talk by Phil Brown in December.­ A mammoth @#$%-up.

What a pleb.
The majority of Villa fans are­ quite happy to pay our admission money.
Memories of­ O'Leary still linger and we are quite content with­ Martin O'Neill. We have faltered having been in a­ great place for Champions League, but we're not­ ready for it...YET....and finishing 5th or 6th is still­ progress for Villa. With O'Leary we could have been­ mentioned in the same dispatches as Southampton and­ Charlton.
And Dave H the Pleb, remember this: Alex­ Ferguson was into season FOUR, having been close to the­ sack, before Manure won anything.
Ask the average­ Cetlic, Leicester and Forest fans who would crawl over­ hot coals to get MON back at their clubs.
Sadly....and­ I hope I'm wrong about this....I feel AVFC will­ never see the best of MON as I have felt for many­ years, before he came to Villa Park, that he's the­ only natural successor to Alex Ferguson.
One last thing­ Dave H. Why knock an Irishman who show's faith in­ ENGLISH players?

I agree with leo well done villa euro again nxt season,­ but i have a nagging doubt about nxt season being a­ poor one for villa as they seem to be cylindrcal good­ 18mnths bad 18mnths, and we've just had the good.­ If Barry wants out let him go, but as read on this­ site's transfer page Alonso in villa direction is a­ non starter as he as said if he leave's l/pool, he­ will only play in spain and nowhere else, thats why the­ transfer did't happen last season. Just hope MON­ does'nt leave til all top players have moved b4 he­ decides to buy those nobody else wants, (Harewood­ Sidwell Knight and the one from spurs) need i say more­ if these players where top notch do you think villa­ would have stood a chance, but in his defence he has­ bought quality ( young x2 Milner carew + petrov finally­ @#$% good when is reo coker going to get a decent run­ in his proper position he's a box to box battler,­ which is what was wanted in the last 20 mins last night­ not final 2 mins of injury time, wake up MON spend­ early spend good lets get in 1st for a change

Looking at the last 4 of the UEFA cup most of the teams­ don't really care about it! No Italian, Spanish or­ English teams in it.
The fact emains that the Uefa cup­ got massively devalued when 4th place teams were­ allowed to enter the champions league and the 3rd place­ teams from group stage entered the Uefa cup. It was­ basically saying it is a tournament for teams that­ aren't quite good enough.

i hear that this guy is such a good manager but yet­ Villa get no where in the domestic cups so what side­ did he put out there? Europe his could not give a @#$%­ about and in the league the wheels have dropped off -­ you Villa fans should be asking exactly what am i­ paying my admission money for !

Dave H.
Folk like you and all the others that talk­ about Villa's team in Moscow make me PUKE!
We hear­ lots about Villa having a small squad, yet when MON­ decides to use some of it he gets it in the neck.
MON­ most likely regrets what he did, but he thought he was­ doing the right thing at the time.
If you have a­ SQUAD....what is and what isn't a first team or a­ second team?
Look at Arsenal's team and subs bench­ against Portsmouth.
No one bleats about that because­ they won.
Arguable that was a THIRD string team, but­ Arsene Wenger has used his SQUAD as he thought fit.
So­ Dave H....suggesting Villa be replaced for using their­ SQUAD in Moscow....what a sad little berk you must be.

Just a note to say that no one within our game can­ argue if uefa say to the FA we are going to restrict­ your euopean places next year due to Villas decision to­ turn out the second team - this could have or may still­ back fire on our future european slots so the FA should­ replace Villa and put someone in who will represent us­ properly.

Steve i dont see your Villa breaking into the champions­ league position in the nest few years, subsequent­ seasons will announce the arrival of Man City,­ throwing a spanner in the works their is also spurs­ with a very large squad and good players lennon, jenas,­ keane, Pavluchenko,Giovanni,also dont count out Everton­ look where they are andd they didint have the main­ striker Yakubu and Saha firing on all cylinders next­ season will be much tougher with about 8 teams vieing­ for the top four and dont think the current top four­ are getting any weaker as a matter of fact they will­ even be stronger next season if you look at the way­ they are all powering to the finish line , i dontg­ think anyone is going to sit back and be displaced. You­ have a good manager in MON , strenghten the squad a bit­ more and see how it goes guys like barry who want to­ leave should be allowed to go and then build for the­ future. Okay

Alex, I agree. If Barry wants to keep his England Spot,­ he needs to play regular football and the Likes of­ Arsenal or Liverpool will simply rotate him within the­ squad. At Villa he knows he will be a regular, indeed­ he's the only player who has played in all of our­ League games this year - an impressive feat, to be­ honest!

We proved this year that we can challenge the­ top 4 - but we need a bigger squad. Hopefully Barry­ will choose to stay either for another 12 months to see­ how it goes or commit to a longer deal. I understand­ him wanting to play at the highest level, but there is­ no guarantee that if he goes to another club that he­ would play in their Champions League games­ anyway.

Villa are only a few years off being regular­ top 4 competition. We should hopefully find players­ more interested in Joining us now after being in Europe­ again this year. MON just needs to have the money to­ splash on players.

Alex F, 4th place is Cahmpions League but with an extra­ round of games. And if they won th eEUFA cup they would­ have qualified to the Champions League. O'neil did­ not look at his draw before pulling out of the UEFA­ cup. It is not all Hull, Portsmouth and Newcastle.­ Anyway, Villa are at the right place, which is 5th or­ 6th. I actually think Everton will finish 5th.

I wonder if Villa will loose Barry? and if they do will­ O'Neil hold his hands up and admit his mistake I­ felt that Villa could have done much better in the UAFA­ cup had he not put out a weak team.
And perhaps a UEFA­ cup winners medal might have persuaded Barry that the­ team were moving in the correct direction but no the­ holy grail of 4th place in the prem, all that gives you­ in the oportunity to QUALIFY FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE­ not the right to automatic entry!! so is a bird in the­ hand not better than a bird that may or may not be in­ the bush.
IMHO I do think Barry needs to stay at Villa­ my reasons it is a world cup year and does Mr Barry­ think he will spend very much time on the playing­ surface at Anfield or the Subs Bench he need a­ conversation with robbie keane i think.
His name i­ would think is the First one on the team sheet at Villa­ park and the England manager likes his england squad­ all playing regular football for their teams so dwell­ on that fact Mr Barry
