Alan Curbishley is right back in the managerial fray today. The veteran of the Goals on Sunday sofa is supposedly in Birmingham to interview for the vacant Villa post; news which has reminded us all of the manager-less plight of Aston Villa, and now that the transfer window is closed, Randy Lerner is free to hire someone who can’t try to buy/sell anyone for the next four months. Bliss.
Curbs hasn’t had …
After securing Champions League football for the season with their defeat of Young Boys, Tottenham have been linked with Aston Villa midfielder Ashley Young according to recent reports.
With two days left before the transfer window slams shut, Harry Redknapp is looking to strengthen his squad for his Premiership and UEFA Champions League campaign.
The England international has reportedly rejected a new four-year deal with the Midlands club and Harry Redknapp is expected …
Will work for food
Hot on the heels of our ‘revelation’ earlier this week that the powers that be at Tottenham were looking to offload die hard hero Robbie Keane, the word has emerged that Aston Villa are going to be the lucky recipients of the best thing to come out of Tallaght since the M50.
This of course is no huge shock. Villa seem to have been linked with Keane …
5. Paul McGrath (Manchester United, Aston Villa)
A brilliant defender who spent seven years each with United and Villa and played in three international tournaments for Republic of Ireland. His only honour for United was an FA Cup in 1985, in which he was voted Man of the Match. As his alcoholism grew worse, his performances began to suffer and in 1989 was offered a retirement package and a testimonial from United. …
With Joseph Redmond…
Newcastle v Aston Villa
Newcastle’s season starts here, because they were never going to get anything at Old Trafford. It will be interesting to see how The Toon react to last weeks defeat, but Villa won’t be an easy game.
Chris Hughton’s charges got off to a flying start against Manchester United until United scored once, twice and eventually the third went in and the Tyneside faithful hit Planet Earth …
Manchester City have completed the £26 million signing of highly regarded Aston Villa midfielder James Milner today, but with Stephen Ireland and a large lump sum heading to Villa Park, which club has actually got the better deal?
It’s no surprise that City have made yet another big money purchase as manager Roberto Mancini looks for his side to challenge the top four this season, bringing the likes of Yaya Toure, David Silva, Mario …
Spurs-bound?
French striker Loïc Remy appears to be England’s most wanted with five premier league clubs all apparently vying (to differing degrees) for his signature. Should this state of affairs continue until we are within a week of deadline day, there is no doubt that the more attention seeking bookmakers will start a “Remy Special”. Remy played in the 2-1 defeat to Norway on Wednesday night and although he did not produce …
Taking the reigns at Villa Park?
The one and only Diego Maradona has expressed an interest in the vacant managerial post at Villa Park. It’d certainly be bizarre, and I imagine fans of the 19 Premiership clubs that aren’t Aston Villa would be more than willing to see it happen. When you think of all the supposedly contentious managers that the Premiership era has seen, just imagine how all of their …
World Cup, footballing, boozing and cocaine legend Diego Maradona has put himself forward as a surprise candidate to succeed where Martin O’Neill ultimately failed.
“Diego is very attracted to English football and the way of life in your country and I know he would be very willing to move there,”
his spokesman Walter Soriano said at the weekend. “He loves the English countryside and your respect for …
The story of the week was not just Sven Goran Ericsson sat opposite GMTV’s Ben Shepherd with his legs splayed so far apart it I though he was going to say, ‘Ready when you are Benjamin’ but the backlash against Fabio Capello.
Not only did he make a balls of England’s World Cup, he sacked the patron saints of saints, the sainted David St Beckham live on telly.
Escapini, LOL! Point taken! Got a little carried away (removing bug from ze a**)! Craig, mate, no offense!
