"Good post lawynd."

"Tetchy tetchy...The 'I hate Geordies' comment was not in regards to all those who live in Newcastle or originally hail from the area, the comment was relating to the overinflated opinion of their club that the majority of Newcastle F.C fans seem to have, not to mention the lack of realism they seem to approach football with. Any idiot who compares the Barry situation with the Milner situation needs their head checked, if you valued Milner as highly as we value Barry he would be your club captain, highest paid player and be playing regularly for his country."

"BirchgroveVilla: Pretty sensible post. I think however why we seem very confused with the hype is while he shows promise he just isn't a dangerous player. We do like him as he puts in hard working, honest shifts but he rarely actually produces anything of substance in the final ball. Couple of examples of players I was gutted to lose are Solano, Hamann or perhaps looking further back Les Ferdinand. Milner is not even close to this as he just hasn't yet produced the goods during spells of playing well. He's had lots of opportunity here. Perhaps he might do better at Villa and good luck to him as I like the lad but in my opinion he is one to let go for a decent price. That opinion is shared by most of the fans I know."

"I've got nothing against Villa, I grew up in that neck of the woods and most of their fans are as good a bunch of people as most of ours...unfortunately places like this seem to attract the lowest common denominator for the most part. I'm annoyed a Jimmy for leaving it so late in the day, but pleased he has the bottle to come right out and ask for the transfer that he wants, rather than conducting it in the media. If he wants to move to Villa then we should let him, but there should be conditions to the departure - if he leaves this month it should be for nothing less than £15m as we have to get an immediate replacement, with only four days left. Otherwise he stays at least until January when we have the opportunity to properly search for a replacement - the fee would probably be in the region of the mooted £10m at that point, so may prove more palatable to Villa. Finally, regardless of whom you support teams like Villa, Everton and Newcastle, even *gulp* Spurs, should be sticking together against the top 4 as we have been and are currently the only teams with realistic chances of knocking them off their perches! We'll see you Villains in November on Tyneside, looking forward to it!"

"I feel for Newcastle fans who say they're gutted that Milner wants a transfer - I'd be gutted too. I really rate him as a player, and I reckon you Geordies feel about the same as we did when Barry said he wanted to go (although Barry didn't have the guts to put in a t/f request). But enough of this talk of MON tapping him up - he's never been quoted in the papers as sticking out for Milner, so that's just unfair. And I also reckon Villa fans should calm down - and especially quit the gloating. We of all people should know what this feels like, having to have put up with truckloads of obnoxious and barely literate Liverpool fans gloating to us over Barry (before they realised they were broke). And he's not even signed for Villa (yet)! Finally, I totally agree with b-and-w-army and others - no matter who Milner goes to, NUFC should extract as much money for him as possible - £10 mil, £18 mil, whatever. We did it with Barry, and it's the way the world works. And anyway, the more you charge the less likely he'll go to Liverpool because they're skint!"

"i couldnt help but laughed at b-and-w-army's post. thts damn funny mate. and well, the rest of u calm down. so what he wants to leave. let him. but personally i would love him to stay. kk squad is stretched thin as it is. having said tht, i love how some of u villa fans r slagging off newc on the back of an embarrassing lost to stoke. u guys talked abt history..c'mon (as my fellow geordie mentioned) u hd ONE good season. gawd, i give up. i tell myself not to be pulled into another one of those long arguements with people i cant even see. its like none of the real fans r ever on teamtalk forum but only the dumb ones who slag off other fans behind their computer n feeling good abt themselves afterwards. i shall not even bother. oh well, on with the footy.

"Villa prob can't afford nothing now, at least not without selling one of them ridiculously overpriced players. cough*barrycough* Wait, didnt MON recently rate A.Young's value at £30m? That should do the trick. Sell A.Young and buy Robinho or better still, get Henry and Villa for that price ;)"

"I think were fave to get him. No disrespect to the toon, but we are more ambitious than you and we are a better team, Newcastle have failed to live upto expectation since Mr Robson left. A move to us will boost his england chances and MON should make him into an international within a year, class player and already a villa fave, £8.5m should do it. UTV!"
