Aston villa, Martin oniel, and where do we go from here
morning all
monday, start of the new week. unfortunately however, for villa fans, the embarresment of saturday at stamford bridge looms large.
Some villa fans will be abused by birmingham city fans today, Some will be riddeculed by the 'south manchester united supporters club', Which actually was me. All this leads me to think cautiously about where there side are going, i would love to say i think we can win every game left and finish on a high, wherever in the table that would leave us. While on our day i believe we can beat any premier league side, its putting that into a 'run' that i think is the problem.
I spoke to a knowledgable friend today, Not a villa fan i may add, but he felt that maybe it was time for a change at villa,I am going to sit on the fence on that one, what we do need though is a big investment on the playing staff.
Another thing that he mentioned that worried me, although i have yet to find any quotes or evidence yet, is that john terry basically said on a television interview after the game that chelsea felt that they would only get a game for '60 minutes' and that it is widelly agreed that we now 'run out of legs' for the final half hour. It would seem that the cup success has now taken its toll on aston villa and the very few players who have actually played the majority of the season.
I think in the current climate, you cannot rely on 14-16 players to play 50 odd games and be fresh enough to compete at the 'money' end of the season, I cant see why Delph, Delfouneso, Albrighton and Craig Gardner before he was sold, could not have played more and gained experience.
I think we need three first team players in the summer, plus a net increase of 4 players to the squad, so here are my ins and outs. . . .
Transfers in
OSCAR CARDOZO - BENFICA - STRIKER
JOAO MOUTINHO - SPORTING LISBON - CREATIVE MIDFIELDER
ANGEL DI MARIA - BENFICA - LEFT WINGER
GRAEME DORRANS - WEST BROM - BOX TO BOX YOUNG MIDFIELDER
KYLE NAUGHTON - TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS - RIGHT FULL BACK
Transfers out
EMILE HESKEY - 2M
MARLON HAREWOOD - OUT OF CONTRACT
NICKY SHOREY - 4M - FULHAM
MUSTAPHA SALIFOU - ANYBODY
NIGEL REO-COKER - 5M - NUMBER OF CLUBS
The players i have mentioned for purchase are all gettable with the ambition required to improve the squad, and the exits from the club are pretty realistic, we will need more than this but it is a refference to the quality we can bring in
Any way im off now to tidy up have a brew and watch liverpool v sunderland from yesterday, will try to put a poll up for those who want to vote on players to bring in and out. i will also post a player profile on the players i have mentioned for those people who may not have seen them play much.

Australian grand prix
morning . . . .
well yesterday i had posted a hope for lewis hamilton to finish in the top 6 in melbourne, and while my desires were matched with result, i write this tinged with disapointment.
hamilton drove brilliantly, and probably deserverd and would have finished at least second place had it not been for the poor desition of the team, and who knows whether mark webber shunting lewis off with 2 laps to go, if lewis could have passed at least alonso and maybe massa, giving him a podium for the second race running. i thought i would feel bitter about the victory off jenson button, as my loyalties are completely in the hamilton camp, but i am reluctantly pleased for him and mclaren.
we have the malaiysian grand prix next weekend and i would love to see lewis on the podium, i think the more points lewis and mclaren rack up early season, the better, as i think it is openly accepted that the develovpment of the car over the course of the season will be such to see the title decideded between massa, alonso,vettel, hamilton, button and maybe webber an outsider.
kubica drove well for renualt, androsberg too, credit to those drivers and teams, a good advert for formula 1 today, bahrain was dour, but this was a far better spectacle. red bull have the qualifiying pace, maclaren have better reliabillity and match them for race pace, ferrari have a blend of the two, and that is why they are early pacesetters. fernando alonso proved very difficult to pass when lewis attacked him in the last 6-8 laps, he is my favorite to take the championship, at this point, followed by sebastian vettel and lewis hamilton.
post again soon enjoy!!

villa hammered, lewis off pace - hopes are shattered
Today was a day that started with a great degree of promise, second grand prix of the season and aston villa would shock the grumbling fans and upset the odds at stamford bridge!!!
i settled down with a 'brew' to watch qualifiying, anticipating lewis hamilton on pole after an impressive practice session yesterday only to find myself scratching my head as the outragously talented hamilton, toilled to a lowly eleventh on the grid.
i thought, with a manor of superstition of which i base most my hopeful whims upon ' ah, villa will do well today, whenever hamilton does well, villa struggle!! and vice versa'
well for those of you who dont know, chelsea went ahead early at stamford bridge, but big john carew equalised. just before halftime, chelsea went 2-1 up, but a second half capitulation beyond all i can remember, villa lost 7-1.
bewildered by my sporting saturday i hold out for a top 6 hamilton finish tomorrow to cheer my woes, please leave your opinions on my designs!!!
