Just spending loads of money thas'all.

Fine if you bounce straight back, really bad if you don't. They did it though so it paid off!

They were always going to bounce back though, really. It was a "gamble" but not a massive one.

@MatKendrick: OGS has NOT turned down/ruled out Villa job. He said he works for Molde, has not had a Villa offer, but would consider it if one was made


He's an idiot???? Mate I wouldn't want Ollie to go to Villa, far too below him. I really hope Villa go down next season, totally dire and completely boring to watch. Awful club.

And now it touches a nerve if anybody dares bring it up again, trying to make out that we're in the wrong....

I think that's the jist?



Actually i admitted i should have took that whole thing to PM at the time and have done on several occasions since. I make no bones about finding one offensive and the other not and it's become a pain to keep having to defend my position. However, after Pm ing Joer - i then had a little dig in here ( a little dig - not a huge rant) which Pete immediately leapt on like he did with Joer's post in the first place.


So first you pre empted my reaction with your expectation of it and then straight onto it with the least amount of provocation.

Obviously have more time on your hands now you're not stalking anymore.

Ole should spend a little more time honing his craft at Molde before moving to one of the bigger leagues.

They scored in the 86th minute after Blackpool missed lots of chances.

They could very easily have not got promoted this season and you have to wonder if they could manage another season without the PL money.
