Monday Night F*** Up

So the Villa have got another MNF clash tonight.

Prediction - Defeat

Irrespective of what form we have going into any MNF game (or the oppositions form for that matter) we always seem to screw it up and suffer an embarrasing defeat.

If MO'N manages to break the curse tonight then he's elevated himself from saintly to godlike.

On a seperate note I was both pleased and saddened to hear that Alan Pardew was sacked today.

Saddened as I think he's done wonders for that club and this is the final nail in the coffin of three months of constant undermining.

But happy because a couple of months earlier he might have been tempted to quit given all the shit that was going on around him. At least by sacking him they'll have to pay him the money he deserves.

I still find it hard to believe that when you throw in the debts that were taken on, Eggert Magnusson paid roughly double the amount for West Ham United compared to Aston Villa.

Whether you want to argue about which team is the 'bigger' club or not, the assets that Aston Villa possess (some of which are being sold later this month) outstrip the assets that belong to West Ham United. I'm not sure whether Lerner got a bargain or Magnusson paid over the odds? Either way the two valuations don't match up.

Finally I'd like to say a big well done to Stuart Pearce for having the balls to criticise his own player for diving. It's just a shame that the repulsive turd that manages the other club in Manchester decided instead to attack Gareth Southgate for pointing out the glaringly obvious about Christiano Ronaldo rather than criticising the little shit himself.
