Without Niall Quinn I'm not sure who will stop him at Sunderland. He gets average teams into the Europa League places for a couple of seasons then leaves behind an almighty mess when it turns out he can't take the team any further (Champions League, cup wins). I don't rate him at all and was very relieved when the board went for Harry and put him on a tight leash with a strict wage structure and spending limits. I'm not sure O'Neil could succeed at a club like Spurs or Arsenal where the club must make a profit to ensure continued success and investment on the pitch.

You've just described Harry Redknapp at Portsmouth.

Abramovich is a child with money. Wouldn't expect things to be done any other way.

Abramovich is a impatient man with money. De Laurentiis and Zamparini is children with money.

I'm sure Brazil is going to have 1 or 2 genius moments and score but so far they're seriously just looking like LOLzil....

 

[Roybr]

We wont score, the game will end 1x1.
Menezes is an awful coach.

And if he means transfers, Bent was vital in keeping Villa up.

Vital is overstepping it just a tad.

 

[rodvik]

Vital is overstepping it just a tad.

I dunno man, we were in freefall. The man saved our season. We got a very good deal on Bent.

As for O'Neill to suggest he is solely responsible for Villa woes is silly. he quit/had his contract broken because Villas board & CEO went around him over player sales & purchases. He didnt leave a sinking ship.

He is a smart manager who is exceptional at motivation and counter attacking football who has a weak eye for squad rotation.

At Villa his biggest problem was buying older players on long term expensive contracts for immediate impact which given the pressure he was under to have an immediate impact is not crazy. About half failed to work. Shit happens and we are dealing with it this season, we will be pretty much through it after the summer though.

At Sunderland hopefully he has learnt his lesson or the board will keep a close eye on his spending.

Maybe so, but apart from him, Young and Downing (this is a stretch) were the only attacking threats.

Just realised we scored our 5 goals against Spurs in 28 minutes. Amazing

You are going to live off that game for a few weeks arent you? Cant say i blame you.

 

[Kenka]

According to "Bild", Podolski has agreed personal terms with Arsenal for a transfer in summer. No agreement between clubs yet.

Podolski will bomb and Arsène will leave.

I'm glad someone beat me to that. Thanks Rodvik. I said earlier that the next fiscal year will show improvement over the previous two, and that hopefully financially Lerner has figured out how to maintain stability. Regardless of what you think of MON, he ran Villa a bit recklessly and we are paying for it. And don't pretend like Bent wasn't important for us in the second half of the 2010-11 campaign. It was a good purchase.

Also, Badstuber looks very similar to Arshavin.

It's ok I have a mancrush on Torres.

Oh, he was one of the first footballers I had one for. Way back during the last European Cup.

On Badstuber ? Write to him on Facebook, he will probably sincerely appreciate your little something for him.
But I wonder why you didn't go for Gomesch:

van Persie out, Podolski in

yeah, sounds like Arsenal

Or maybe Wenger will play him as winger, that would be even funnier!

yeah, I thought about adding that lol

It's not even funny when its so true

Badstuber looks, talks, plays and behaves like he's some farmer's kid from the Alps.
I don't get people praising him as THE defender.

 

[Yurt]

Man crushes and no one mentioned this guy? For shame.

How can something so ugly be so beautiful? A beast in pink.

Don't know how I missed this, but yep. I didn't want to start following a bandwagon team. Loving Manchester United doesn't mean much when you say you've been following them since Ronaldo was on the team.

So here goes:

Barcelona are the greatest team of all time and you know it. Hate it or love it.

Considering they are 10 points away from being the best in their own league : wrong. Welcome new boy.

Oh, and because I neglected to post it all day, Xbox FIFA league sign-up thread! Currently discussing which league to play with, Championship seems to be winning.

I don't think anyone outside of Bavaria (and Löw) does. I'll go cry in a corner if Löw plays a Badstuber/Mertesacker pairing at the Euro with Hummels and Höwedes on the bench.

Nope.
