Well, it’s nice to post something extremely positive for once, in that we’ve signed a player that the team has been craving for, for years.
While I’m very minded to say “it’s about time”, I won’t dwell on that, as it’s simply a big boost that the club and it’s supporters needed just before the season kicks off.
I would imagine Sanchez will get the biggest cheer by a mile tomorrow (if I read correctly that he’s eligible to play, that is), but we should be careful in not placing too much expectation on his shoulders in my opinion.
I’d suggest he’s going to take maybe a bit of time to settle and I for one am certainly going to give him a while before I judge him.
If he’s half as good as Claude Makelele, who he tries to model himself on, we’ll have a very decent player.
So the deal’s done and I’ll quite simply link to what has been written on the OS, as it’s actually a decent article, with something of substance for once;

BBC final score all there doing is continually talking about UTD doing my fucking head in.
Giddy…get yourself an apple tv mate
looks like a good away win for us though we stuffed arsenal 3.1 away last year and look what happened after that ffs
Mate is it anything to do with a computer if so not a hope in hell.
No mate..its quite simple….even I can do it!
Cheers mate I’ll ask my ex wife if I can afford it.
Giddy…thats so fucking funny mate 🙂
we r 4th in leage at the mo lol
gets on my tits too they fuckin lost who cares. sick of media licking their arses. when swansea got 2nd the silence at ot was deafening never heard a crowd go as quiet as that.
Crouch..on
Grealish…on for zoggy
Villa players look tired but great tackle from Westwood
we will be fine great 3 points 🙂
I hope they stay awake for the final 10.

New post gone up
Yes….yes….fucking yes!
Always believed in you Langford LOL Can’t do anymore than win a game! Now off to cook a paella and celebrate with several bottles of wine! UTV
Lol…Hitchens…there’s not too many thats got faith in me mate. Is that the beer talking? 🙂
Yippee well done lads the rock & the beast to come getting pissed get in there.
Great stuff. Grealish, Senderous big pluses. Utter nonsense in the 88th min when we were in their box and played it back to our goalie. Onwards and upwards, see you all next game and enjoy the moment.
Cracking start to the season! Well done lads!
Good win, defence looked solid, all be it against a poor stoke attack but to get a clearn sheet away has to mean something. Vlaar great. Senderos played ok. Cissokho was very good, hutton did his job, Can’t wait for Okore back and Snachez to sit in front of this defence. And I will tell you now top 5 La Liga Side and current Europa Liga holders Sevilla are upset they didn’t secure Sanchez;s services, quotes ranging from ‘more talent leaving la liga’. ‘cant believe we let a player like that slip’.Grealish had a couple of good moments since he came on and I though NZOG played ok. Gaby meh. Weimann goal lucky but sometimes its what you need to win away UTV!
3 points…clean sheet…3 players on debut were excellent. Someone said earlier that the ‘Keane influence’ was evident….thats spot on. Its a long time since I have seen such commitment from a Villa team.
BTW….I have just heard PL’s interview and I understood EVERY word of it…..it seems that beer helps in that respect 🙂
2nd in the league I can live with that may it continue.UTV

One down, thirty seven to go. The home form must improve this season though as that was nearly our downfall last year. We need a playmaker to make things happen in the home games. Haven’t really had one since Merson. Hopefully get someone for that position before window closes. Well done lads. Great win today.
Agreed mate…Cole, obviously not fit. Cant see us getting more than 15 games out of him. Grealish is a potential no10 IMO
