I remember the Deano goal against the scum in the cup, He wasnt off side, the only 1 in the scum half of the pitch was the keeper when the ball went threw, so just shoddy defending. Can we have some more of that please, even tho we dont need it. And it cost £8 in the holte that night, how things have changed.:([img][/img] - hipkissvilla Mon, 07 Sep 2009 23:35:49 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44130 I actually remember Yorke comming back with Sunderland and getting a good reception, not a single boo, so I think it is all water under the bridge now. - The Mighty Steve Mon, 07 Sep 2009 12:39:03 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44109 Thanks for the shout out pensioner, I just wanted to say a big thanks for all those that have pledged money for my half marathon for Acorns, in one weekend i've managed to go from £50 to £160, just from the help from some kind people on here, so thanks very much.

They seem to have tightened up this season - they certainly aren't shipping a bagfull of goals. I predict a 1-0 win. And it could go either way. - DavidC Mon, 07 Sep 2009 09:25:16 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44104 I really think you should install a code of conduct on this site. Heskey has been admired by several managers *more knowledgable than all of us*, and it is short-sighted to believe that the players do not/will not access this moronic, ill-considered tripe that poses for constructive criticism on this site. If you created a code to weed out unwarranted obscenity, that would be a step forward. Criticism, yes: but not kneejerk nonsense. Heskey is a good man - just listen to his honest comments in an article in The Guardian, commenting on the effectiveness of him at Villa, and in comparison with Defoe. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/sep/07/jermain-defoe-emile-heskey-england-croatia Heskey's role in the side has long been considered more as a focal point for the front line than that of a goalscorer, yet the player himself admitted Defoe's recent form for club and country could not be ignored as England attempt to secure passage to South Africa. "I couldn't complain [if Defoe was selected to partner Wayne Rooney instead]," said the striker. "Jermain has done brilliantly. Every time he comes on he scores a goal, which is nice to see. He's scored seven goals in six games this season, so you can't complain. Those are the statistics, and he's never complained when he's not played for England, either. "We're in competition, but it's good competition. It puts you on your toes knowing you've got to do well to stay in the team. I like to play as the one man up front, but Jermain likes that role as well. We all do. We've got other strikers here as well – Peter Crouch, Carlton Cole – and it's good to have these options. For me personally, it's nice to be involved because I'm still finding my feet at Villa. Heskey's continued involvement could be questioned given his inability, as yet, to make a notable impact at Villa Park since his £3.5m move from Wigan in January though his muscular presence, selfless attitude and ability to occupy centre-halves, thereby freeing up space for Rooney, has established him as first-choice for Capello." A good man - an honest, thoughtful man - who doesn't deserve to be called 'utterly useless'. Ridiculous.[i][/i] - Grimo Tokyo Mon, 07 Sep 2009 08:16:58 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44102 THEY SAY "CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME".....OUR HOME IS BIRMINGHAM...OUR CHARITY "ACORNS"...I AM PROUD OF PANCHO VILLAN..KEEFVILLA AND SQUIRREL.....The rest of you "Tight asses"...GET ONTO THE PREVIOUS SITE AND MAKE A SMALL CONTRIBUTION,AND HELP THESE POOR KIDS!!!!!!!:'( - John Jordan Mon, 07 Sep 2009 03:01:38 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44101 Atm, it's Villa slippers off if you love Villa.

I'm off down the doctors in the morning to get my jabs. - James Clift Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:13:22 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44095 it sounds bad but ive seen plenty of mentally ill people and people with downs wearing scum shirts round here and thats not me being nasty (before i get slated). Kids are growing up with much better brains now so opting for the mighty Villa - adam Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:06:28 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44094 B30, you reckon? I took my daughter to football in Stirchley and there 5 or 6 Villa fans for 1 Blues fan (plenty Man U and Liverpol as well). You see more Villa shirts around and I meet more Villa fans around as well. Perhaps you mix in the wrong circles!?! - Martin Clabon Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:00:20 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44093 I hope Heskey or his friends never visit this site. I think he was a terrible aquisition for us & have never rated him but it would be wrong if he were to here is see the comments we make. An indiviual feeling is fine but thiis now not good Damian can you block any messages with heskey in them - FatKevs Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:58:05 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44092 i thought capello only picked players on form???has he seen heskey in a villa shirt>:(.kingstanding and great barr will and always be a villa sronghold,ps blues have over 6000 tickets left for the villa match and at £48 a pop the scum will again show the nation how small they are;D - bring back john gregory Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:11:26 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44091 Load a bollox sid its about 60-40 to the scum - adam Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:03:16 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44090 Viva, I'm not his biggest fan but that is way too tough an assessment. Jon Carew's had plenty of bad games for us. Heskey has done well in some games and hasn't reaaly had that many games for us. Any way, looks like he is no more than back up now. - Martin Clabon Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:57:03 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44089 Monkey, was in Bournville till a couple of years ago, Beaumont Rd. No pubs is the only downside. B30, I know a season ticket holder for Blues who reckons Stirchley is all blues, South Birmingham. Load of crap, more Villa round here than Blues by miles. - Martin Clabon Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:51:58 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44088 Heskey is utterly useless. I seriously think Capello has lot the plot when it comes to picking his strikers. There used to be a case that he holds the ball up well, but to be honest, he doesn't even do that. There are no advantages to having him on the pitch at all. All he does is occupy space. He plays like a centre back who's been put up front. No clue. The last 3 games I've watched him play for England he's been just as ineffectual as he has been for us. I just cannot understand why he's playing at this level at all. - Mike Carter Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:50:43 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/the-clowns-up-next-osbourne-to-blackpool-and-england/#comment-44087 Villa 2 - 1 Scum - Jonboyvilla Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:47:42 +0100
