    Thierry Henry has agreed to be the new Villa manager! Interesting.

    Thought they were really hard up....can't see him being cheap. Good to see a former player ready to start at a lower club and learn a trade...some seem to think such things are beneath them. And what happens to Bruce?

    I imagine he'd be on less than Bruce. Unless they have to they would be mental to lose him.

    He's wanted out since the P/O defeat. I think he wants a time out from the game as well, after the death of his parents.

    Bruce said recently that he thought Villa needed him, but the owners may not feel the same way.

    FIFA have named their team of 2018....Kane made it, but am amazed Lovren didn't with him being such a top defender. :rolleyes:

    Great to see Sir Alex is recovering after the brain haemorrhage. Thought he looked well in the video. On the BBC Sports site. Am looking forward to seeing the reception he will get when he gets to an Old Trafford game.

    Interested to see how Burnley do tonight. Hoping they go through as that will give us an advantage in our first league game. Anyone know where its been televised? I thought BT, but not so.

    Cheers, I did check, wasn't trying to be too lazy.
    Return leg will be a bigger draw, hope they go through. We owe them a good game, be nice if they are on the back foot from the start.......unlike last time!

    England U19s lost their U19 Euro crown and then failed to get through to defend their U20 title by losing to Norway in the play-off today. Shame.

    Vokes equalised for Burnley so they take an away goal back for the second leg.

    Hibs came back from 2-0 down at ht to win 3-2!
