Tim Sherwood the Muppet and other Aston Villa shit

Bosman has a lot to answer for. His seemingly honourable intentions have allowed contracts to become utterly meaningless for anything other than new signing-on fees for newly inked ones virtually every season.

I still think the only reason Benteke stayed is because nobody came in for him -I know he was linked with you guys but I never believed that for a second, and Spuds didn't actually make a bid - and his agent recommended a cut of losses. Depressing, but ah well. I'll be there for the Liverpool game, and watching him like a hawk, a hawk I tell you.

what bosman revealed was the real truth behind the scenes. a vast majority of players were never loyal because of their undying love for the club but merely because the clubs held all the cards. pretty much like any other employee. now it's turned full circle and the clubs haven't replaced the role of 'suffering' players once did, it has now landed onto our laps. the dirty horrible truth. very much like how xfactor completely destroyed any romance that existed for kids with romantic notions of the pop world.

i think you're right that no-one came in for benteke, probably because no club was willing to take that sort of a plunge after one season. the really depressing thing is you'll be there to watch and watch him closely. yet, he can play like a turd for 38 games and still flutter off over the horizon come next summer leaving a stinking turd of a memory in the fans minds, not giving a toss.

We should have taken the plunge for Benteke.

As you say, he's only done it for a season but that's never stopped us before. Giroud did f all before top scoring in France and he's much older.

Benteke is younger and better already.

But I'd rather Suarez tbh

Simple solution, if a player wants to leave and he's under contract let him rot in the reserves he'll soon change his mind like Tevez.

Jores Okore (Aston Villa - bought from Nordsjaelland)
Villa will hope there's no repeat of centre-back Okore's dozy behaviour during his medical - the 21-year-old Dane fell asleep while having an MRI scan despite the presence of a TV crew filming his transfer.

PREMIER LEAGUE UPDATE
Bit of news from back in the Premier League - Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has been fined £8,000 for media comments made after the game against Chelsea.

Lambert was furious that Branislav Ivanovic wasn't sent off for an elbow and said: "In big moments, in big games, you have got to call them right. I thought it was two big moments that went unpunished.

"I am not going to stand here and get into trouble..."

Yes, yes you are Paul...

Same he couldn't have Anthony Taylor again tbh

Why has he been fined for that? Can't you say anything about the cunts who run this game and their crappy refs?

[Cripps_orig]

Think the FA were pissed off at him for making any comments seeing as one of their refs won him the game just a few days earlier v us

Right, he's been done for ingratitude? Fair enough, apologies for jumping to conclusions about the cunts who run this game and their crappy refs.

"You can't say anything these days can you?"

It's political correctness gone mad. You can't even have an electric fire in the bath any more in case some Pakistani sees it.
