    Two in form teams
    With bosses, it seems
    Who´ve both carried on the good work,
    After taking charge
    After the last Sarge
    Just one more of football´s strange quirks

    In fact I would say
    That both, in their way
    Have done more than just carry on,
    Strengthening here
    And tinkering there
    They´ve helped both Canary and Swan

    So this game should be
    A good one to see
    If both play as we know they can,
    And after last year
    When we won the pair
    I guess some revenge is the plan

    Unbeaten ín eight
    Nine, if the date
    Against Tottenham in the Cup,
    Is taken in too
    And although Michu
    Is dangerous, we´re on the up

    Can we make it ten
    Here, I´m sure our men
    Will delight in every mile home,
    But more than a draw
    Will be hard to score
    And take back to the Delia Dome

    But I won´t lie
    If it ends a tie
    It wouldn´t surprise me at all,
    So enjoy the day
    And also the play
    Now it´s Laudrup´s and Chris Hughton´s ball.

    Well it has every chance of being a cracker Tom, both sides in form, players who´re confident, can´t be anything else can it? Seems to me that both clubs have done really well out of the summer wheeling and dealing, far better than Liverpool and A. Villa actually <laugh>

    Aye we are both flying at the moment. Good signings, good team spirit. Can go either way.

    On the subject of the managers, I could understand Rodgers leaving us for a big club like Liverpool after a couple of good seasons with us, but what the hell was Lambert thinking leaving the success he'd built with Norwich to go to a relegation battling Villa? <doh> It was a sideways step at best, but a backwards step in my opinion.

    Aye very odd decision on Lamberts part, after what he did for Norwich you would think he would want to progress further. Villa are ****e but they have money. Money talks hey. Would be laughing if they get relegated and would have a grin if Norwich appeared a lot higher. Same as us with Liverpool and Rodgers. Karma.

    Yep, we all thought at the time it was a strange decision, but one door shuts another one opens, one thing´s for sure there´s always someone ready to fill the gap, the tricky bit is finding the right one. <ok> Just talk to Chelsea about that ;)

    There is no money at Villa , randy wats his face has put the block on big money signings hence Lamberts reliance on the youth ,which if works out could be a good thing but to me there's not enough of the older players who are good enough in the side to keep them up or at least end up hovering around the relegation zone.
