I posted on here before and after you embarrassed us at your place and found it a decent forum so i thought id pop back I was wondering how you see your season so far? 1)Where do you think youll finish? 2)What players have stepped up to the premier league? 3)Which players havent? 4)Who would you like to get in January? 5)Whats been youve favourite result so far? 1) 17th 2) Fuller, Mama, Shawcross 3) Olofinjana (yet hopefully), Cresswell 4) Realistic targets : Henri Camara, Routledge, Etherington, McFadden. 5) Sod the games my favourite result so far bar none was managing to get Abdoulaye Faye for the pathetic sum of 2.25m. Every time i see him play i just watch and think 'how did bigger and better teams than us not realise how classy this fella is'. Steal of the season in my eyes and if we do manage to stop up this guy will possibly be the biggest reason why.

1)Where do you think youll finish? 14th 2)What players have stepped up to the premier league? Fuller Abd Faye Sorenson 3)Which players havent? None really 4)Who would you like to get in January? Harewood 5)Whats been youve favourite result so far? Arsenal
1)I think youll finish 15th 2)Ricardo Fuller has shown he has premiership quality, and our old boy Sorenson has been good for you 3)Griffin looks awful IMO 4)Im not sure who you should be targeting 5)Im hoping its not the villa but i imagine first prem home game was a bloody good day for you lot!
P.S. Heroes and Villians is a great site made me feel welcome hence 150+ posts

I might be wrong, but I don't think that Riccy could get another english club because of the Jamaican world ranking............ Thing is, he has lived in the UK more than long enough to get residency, if he hasn't already.

Well im surprisd to see you where you are but im now thinking youll finish 15th. I think Beattie is a very clever signing and Etherington will offer you something on the counter especially on away days.
From what ive seen Sorenson has done well for you and TBH im quite glad, he had definatly reached his limit at the Villa but im glad he has settled somewhere new as hes defo a premiership goalie just maybe not top half

oh and you can be very relieved not to get Harewood, i think he has no interest in football at times!

Cheers Boothenendboy, but from watching the villa for a few years now i find it hard to believe tbh. Im just waiting for the wheels to fall off! Weve been terrible the last few games, which can be seen in 2 ways, 1) PLay bad, still win, thats the top 4 way. or 2)Were loosing form and were gonna fall apart my heart tells me one thing, my villa experience tells me another!

I hope for 16- 17th, I dont think we will go down which is the main thing.
I hope well for Villa, they've always been my favourite for the top half, not just cause I cant stand any of the other top teams, but your kind of like the underdogs and I'd love to watch you wipe the smile off their faces.
Soro has been fantastic for us in my eyes and he really has settled well.

Welcome back Tomzep and congratulations on being in the top 4 - hope you manage to stay there. Martin O Neil walked past us at the Britannia a few weeks back (can't remember what game it was), and my husband shouted to him "You should have had the England job" - he just smiled.
1)Where do you think youll finish? 17th 2)What players have stepped up to the premier league? Mama!! surprisingly, and Shawcross, took his time but is looking great at the moment. Not counting Sorenson, who's also been fab (thanks), but he came from a Prem club (same goes for Faye). 3)Which players havent? They've all had some good or bad games really, it's consistency we're lacking. 4)Who would you like to get in January? Very happy with who we've got so far. 5)Whats been youve favourite result so far? Sorry to say it to you, but the first game against Villa takes a lot of beating. Didn't know what to expect from the Prem and fully expected to get thumped, that goal going in at the last minute just sent the place crazy. Overall I've been pleasantly surprised at how well we've been able to compete (at home anyway).

16th Mama is arguably more effective in the Prem than he was in the Championship. I was worried he would be woeful, but the big man has proved us all wrong. Lawrence, before his injury, was looking distinctly average. Griffin too, joke right back at this level. I would like to get Manucho on loan, realistically, Camara. Definitely Villa, sorry to say mate.

Holmes, you honestly think Wilkinson has stepped up to the Premiership? What have you been smoking?

You need to let that hatred go at your age Hall, you'll do yourself a mischief. I know you only see 2 games a year so that will explain your lack of understanding. Wilko did a great job against Manure and Liverpool, ok a rash challenge got him sent off, but none the less he has played against 2 of the best teams in Europe and played well. That to me is called stepping up. I don't see Manure fans asking for Vidic to get replaced when he sythes someone down and gets sent off. I'm not for one minute comparing Wilko to Vidic, but it's the principal I'm talking about. Now stop being a miserable old barsteward and get behind your players. H

1: 18th - 15th depending on luck with injuries 2: Sidibe, Shawcross, Fuller 3: Pericard, Wilkinson and Dickinson desperately need to improve their distribution 4: Backup/competition for Etherington or someone similar for the right 5: Probably Villa, to see the joy on Sidibe's face after winning it that late on.
Due to the Martin O'Neill factor and your English players, Villa were my favourite Premiership team until we were promoted...I hope you do well and finish in the top 4 (3rd is a possibility), as long as you don't beat Stoke...
