Those bottom feeding yo-yo's had there chances and there moronic supporters were as quiet as mice then that had to happen.

Oh dear. It was like throwing watching meat hurled into a lion cage the way those sad bozzos came running out to celebrate.

We have nothing to play for now. Europe is gone. Another season of mediocrity beckons. Oh well not bad for a squad of about 12 players.

Well done to West Brom though I hope that point ensures you finish the season 1 point away from safety.

Yeah I haven't seen much soccer this year so I'm not really update on whats going on with Villa, but I noticed that Sammy and couldn't beleive one of our players was laughing it up with an opposing player literally minutes after conceding a last minute equaliser.

I don't know what his seasons been like, I've always liked him as a player but the ******** can p.o now.

Villa are Villa. White hot one minute looking promising then playing insipid the next week. This season really has been a tale of two halves as we can never play solidly for the whole 90 minutes. Lucky to be 45-60 minutes at best.

Quickly run through the positives/negatives for you apollo...

+itives:
Steven Davis - Breath of fresh air
Nobby Solano - Had a great season for us and is our most creative player
Martin Laursen - Been a rock since he has come back
Gareth Barry - Last month has been back to the Barry of the GT regime
Darius Vassell- Looked good since coming back from injury
Lee Hendrie- General good season

-itives:
Olof Mellberg - Hasnt been anything near his best this season mainly because he's had to cover for Ridgewell, was looking good with Laursen back but now is out for 4-6 weeks, basically season over.
Juan Pablo Angel - Has lacked a decent support striker beside him
Carlton Cole - ********e, lucky he's not ours. Is starting to show a little more these days back is basically holding back Luke Moore
Thomas Sorensen - Has had a pretty good season apart from a few absolute howlers, was never going to keep up last years standards
Wingbacks - Delaney has spent most the season at CD when he's been fit. Is solid defensively but is hopeless going forward like always. Samuel has really gone backwards from last years standards & De la Cruz is hopeless and has showed why some supporters call him "Useless Del la Cruz". Isnt great defensively and cant pass for ********e.

We are about a million to one to make Europe now, on form we'll come out and destroy Southampton and then play pathetically the week after. McCann will be back soon. Lastly in a huge shock it seems the club are delaying improving I think the North Stand and are instead going to invest largely in the squad. £20 million being the rumored figure!
But knowing Doug....

Lastly,

Oh and ill add a little more.

Expect six signings in the off season. 4 major ones brought in with the 'money' and 2 that were going to brought in anyways. One is rumored to be Patrick Berger on a free from Pompey the other is still hush hush.

Delaney is expected to go join Mark Hughes at Blackburn either at the end of this season or the next. Good servant to the club considering how much we got him for all that time ago from Cardiff City but what he did on the weekend was so very very frustrating for all the fans out there crushed with the result (myself included). He can play for his pay elsewhere ********wit

Cheers buddy.

I have seen a few games, both sets of derbies and a few others and i have noticed J-Loyd looks horrible and way out of his depth.

Hopefully the forthcoming Villa purse is true and one of the investments is a new left back.

Wouldn't hold your breath on six new signings, have to say though Steven Davis is a good find for you guys, looks very good in the midfield. Jlloyd is rubbish though, any left back that gets skinned by Damien Johnson isn't worth s**t. Had to wonder about how Laursen would go after the injury but he has looked quite good, especially in comparison to Mellberg. I'm sure Delaney will be joining all the other Welsh tossers at Blackburn. Whatever you do though, make sure you keep Sorensen. Top kepper! ;)
