glory.win or die.

I may be wrong but aren't villa high on the list of most goals conceded from set pieces

I'm not sure we are ready to beware of the big bad wolf again after last time

I'm sure Webber has always talked about succession planning and having lists of potential replacements for players,managers, even his own position. It just seems too convenient to sack Farke and then an ideal candidate becomes available I'm also concerned he has just been sacked and has had no time to recharge his batteries or get his head straight But this appointment is defining for webber

The new avengers assemble

Depends if you class trying to sign Favre as having no ambition I guess.

I can't say I pay much attention to what sexy Bennett says. As far as I have seen they just comment on things that already rumours on other sites, and are no more reliable than a fortune teller. They are so 'in the know' that they can tell us stuff about manager targets and possible issues which have already been mention on numerous other sites... Yet, they had no prior info about Farke being sacked

No thank you, a Dr's index finger was quite enough for me.

If it's a British manager I think Lampard would be my choice, and I think we would be a perfect fit for him But I'm sure Webber has a list of potentials we have never heard of.

Respected by players Used to working with younger players Made Leeds fans and players cry I thought he did well at Derby and Chelsea were under transfer restrictions when he took over but did well. But, I'd hope we can find someone with slightly more experience and history of success

Be fair, they managed to get a replay v Oldham

The villa home game is one of the best atmospheres I can remember. The game was pretty rubbish in terms of quality as far as i recall , yet epic, and really felt like a title decider.

I can see the press conference now where we have scoured the whole of Europe to find the best man for the Job is Borussia Dortmund II team manager

Did anyone here get the 'Norfolk n Good' book about this Season? I loved that book. Not quite the same level as fever pitch but being about Norwich it felt more personal. Well worth a read for anyone nostalgic

Think i read he played some cup games as a wing back.. I quite liked Martin and thought he would replace Cantwell but needs a better season than he's having so far

Come back prudence.

Realistically who could do a worse Job?

I see lots of ppl moaning about spending £5m on a back up keeper but last season ppl moaned because we had to rely on mcgovern, we couldn't risk that again. £5M for a back up prem gk to push krul seems good value to me. Krul is good enough to play in the prem, pukki is good enough to score goals. The problem is the 9 players between them

I took a disliking to Jon Otsemebor Dean Ashton Robbie Brady

Was it us that sang Osgood was good no good,now.

Is it time for a "beating Leeds could relegate us" thread

Bruce got Newcastle 1 more point than us with a vastly superior experienced team. He's definitely not the answer.

He could have had 6 yellow cards against us to be fair

Coming out as the first gay player could actually be lucrative. Yes, he would get abuse 100%, but would it be any worse than the racist abuse we see all the time? How often does a footballer have a chance to be THE first anything. He would become a hero around the world

Ranieri in talks apparently

I thought he did well too but krul punching vydja in the face looked a pen to me
