September 27, 20169 yr What a finish from Schurlle!!!!! Brings back memories of his lethal finish against the Arse
October 1, 20169 yr Another defeat for Villa. Think the end might be nigh for Robbie D and Steve Clarke.
October 2, 20169 yr Robbie D is going to be sacked by Villa within the next 48 hours apparently. Poor bloke
October 2, 20169 yr Just now, Zeta Orionis said: Thing is... he's just not really that good of a manager. True. But I'll never forget that he delivered us the CL trophy against all odds.
October 3, 20169 yr 18 hours ago, Zeta Orionis said: Thing is... he's just not really that good of a manager. Agreed. He won the CL and FA Cup with us but we had guys like Lampard, Terry, Drogba to carry us over that line. He has done more than most managers just in his stint with us but realistically he's a poor manager.
October 3, 20169 yr Yeah, have to agree. He's another of these guys who always come across well and talk a good game but there's a massive difference to being able to talk a good game and put it all into practice. Does that leave the door open for an early return for Big Sam?!!
October 3, 20169 yr Shame he couldn't last longer but bottom line is that he's a horrible manager unfortunatly.
October 3, 20169 yr Ingrates. (not just Villa) Sorry to see Robbie didn't get more time at a club which is increasingly becoming a poisoned chalice. He's built a decent squad there and should really have been given more time. I hope he gets a gig elsewhere and is wildly successful. Maybe he'll get the Leicester job in ten years' time and unexpectedly win the league with Tom Cleverley and Paddy McNair in the squad.
October 3, 20169 yr Don't know if it's already been posted in this thread or one of the other threads but a reminder (not that we need one) of what an absolute legend Mata is. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/get-inspired/37541862 God, I still miss him. We could certainly do with more footballers (and human beings for that matter) being more like Juan Mata.

October 28, 20169 yr Graeme Le Saux's take on the latest poll regarding fan attitudes towards gay players in football: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/28/homophobia-football-homophobic-abuse-pitch-fans-gay-players
October 29, 20169 yr (ANSA) Friday 28th October Sixteen Serie A and B clubs including Juventus, Inter, Napoli, Lazio and Palermo, were reported to Italian soccer's federal court for a series of violations of code of sporting justice and the regulations governing players' agents, the Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC) said. Executives and players of the clubs were cited too in the 'Offside' probe conducted by Naples prosecutors, the FIGC said. The probe placed 64 people under investigation including players, agents and executives on suspicion of tax offences, tax evasion and issuing false invoices. Transfer deals reportedly involving Juventus, AC Milan and Lazio were among those suspected of being tainted, police said in January. Finance police searched the premises of some 30 soccer players and agents and seized assets worth 12 million euros in the probe. Those under investigation include former Juventus CEO Jean-Claude Blanc, Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis, AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani, Lazio President Claudio Lotito, ex Napoli striker Ezequiel Lavezzi, ex Milan, Inter, Chelsea and Parma striker Hernan Crespo, and agent Alessandro Moggi. Atalanta defender on loan from Milan and Italy national team player Gabriel Paletta, Torino (on loan from Sevilla) and Italy striker Ciro Immobile, Milan midfielder Antonio Nocerino, Atalanta striker German Denis, and ex Pescara player Fernando Quintero are among those under investigation, along with ex-Inter striker Diego Milito and former Fiorentina and Juventus striker Adrian Mutu. Naples prosecutors said Crespo evaded two million euros in Italian taxes, agent Moggi evaded one million euros, and Galliani (AC Milan Chief Executive) evaded 240,000 euros.
