McGrath was poetry on a pitch. Can you imagine how good he would have been with good knees?!!

McGeady needs to test himself in the Premier League


Or else hes going to go stale in the SPL


that James Mccarthy looks decent too, both are scottish but have Irish blood right?

The bane of amazing villa defenders and knee problems

I would happily give alot to get Martin Laursen back

I dont think he even played 100 games for villa but he is at cult hero status

If he would have stayed at reading we could actually have stayed up near the top..


Happy with the 5 - 0 today though...

and Mellberg where he gave each villa fan a shirt with thanks for the support on the back..villa legend. was kinda hoping he'd come back but hes fked off to Greece in the sun, couldn't cut it at Juve

Left just as we were getting good too

Yep, great result. They were never going to go down though. Just something wasn't clicking for them. Should be ok now.

Got a feeling Coppell will go back to Palace, he didn't say no when they were asking him on the BBC coverage of the Villa vs Palace game

ahhh bugger were in our away white kit tommorow :(

I think it could be a great game tomorrow. Big open Wembley pitch and all of that. Hope we get a spectacle.

Man Utd will attack..which will mean we can catch 'em on the counter

Hope vidic aint fit but with Rio out Fergie will probably risk playing him

Vidic and Evans play well together. Much happier with that pairing than with Evans and Ferdinand.

For some weird reason I always fear Ji Sung Park more than anyone when we play united (minus rooney of course)

very underrated by everyone apart from man utd

Yep, not a bad player. Does his job very well and he's very agile, you know? Still though, I'd take Giggsy and Valencia over him.

has sol retired from international?
i only watched the first half today, but thought sol was great, i know he isnt in the greatest shape at the moment, but if he gets a good run in the arsenal team he can find that fitness and he has all the experience. think he's played in 3 world cups, would be a great story, from playing for notts county in the bottom league to the world cup.

to me sol looks to be in the best shape hes been in in about 3-4 years

maybe just his match fitness aint all there

Sol's a great back. And I think Arsenal were badly in need of that kinda physical presence.

Cup final day:dance:.

Vidic is fit Nath lol.. Valencia's a tricky player plus Rooney lol well almost both sets of players on both sides are should be a brill match:),

Park is such a honest and hard working player, never gets enough credit he always does what he's asked to do:).

I safely know the villa team tommorow I think


Friedel

Cuellar Dunne Collins Warnock

Young Petrov Milner Downing

Heskey Agbonlahor

our strongest line up (well id rather have carew playing then ****ty heskey)

Is Carew injured again?

Definetly need a new striker in the summer to partner Carew:p.

petrov 1-0 i'm gonna have a couple a quid on that

Nah, MON just doesnt fancy Carew


Carew is the fans favourite, better than heskey, but doesnt put his shift in most games. when he is on form, which is about once in 7 games, he is world class, up there with drogba

Carew and Agbonlahor works;).

Yep, he's an annoying fecker that way. There's some games where he's unplayable and other where he's not at the races.
