QuoteHoulier is a useless spoofer and I have only had one bottle of cider !
True, but if they were given an open bar as has been suggested it wasnt intended to be an evening of high culture. Though, I find it very strange to see Houllier and open bar in the same sentence even.Originally Posted by SwanVsDalton
I wonder what Dunne said to Fabian Delph? I bet it was priceless.

You could of drank ribena to figure that one out
It does sound very unlike Houllier. I remember McAteer lambasted him soon after he arrived at Liverpool after he banned the players' morning ritual of tea and toast before training at Melwood. Maybe Richie has got some similar views about the training methods.

Still touch and go whether he makes it. http://www.examiner.ie/sport/soccer/...er-148641.html
Christ I hope he does. If not I'd have him stationed on the PA system, issuing instructions and organising the defence from there.
after he has downed 12 pints! Would make fascinating listening!
Times this morning indicating that he's a goner. Disappointed but perversely I'm excited to see what Trapatoni will do now.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
The Times article suggest to me he will make it. Houllier seems willing to let Dunne travel (very good sign)and as Houllier says himself the injury could be better in a week.
Irish Times
Dunne was only able to take a limited part in training this week and will not be fit for the visit of Villa’s midlands rivals to Villa Park tomorrow afternoon. Gerard Houllier, however, has not closed the door on his central defender travelling to Dublin after suggesting the injury “could be better in a week.”
Maybe we're reading different versions?

Houllier might be hoping Dunne doesn't come back.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
I'd say that it's a near certainty that Dunne will be signing for another club in the summer time.
Yup. I'm gonna go out on a limb and plump for Wolves, should they stay up.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Dunne has been fined 2 weeks drink money by AV for his part in the bonding session.
Houllier said he "doesn't take anything personal" and claimed that Dunne and Collins, who are injured and will miss the Wolves game, still have a part to play at the club. "I've got a long capacity for forgiveness, which is very useful in football. I trust players, I trust people. I think I can be tough but I'm a nice man. I don't bully, I don't shout. [But] trust is always two-way."
thats pretty fair, all things considered. I find Houllier infinitely more likable since/because he left Liverpool.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
What Houllier is saying, is that he's perfect, he trusts the players to realise that he's perfect and only bad things happen when they are dumb enough not to appreciate his wisdom.
Houllier knows he has no alternative but to be offering overtures of peace and forgiveness towards Dunne and Collins. Judging by that first half against Wolves, Villa are a shambles at the back without both of them.
The commentator informing us that MM was delighted that Dunne wasn't playing. And that MM gave Dunne his debut for Ireland. Hope Wolves hang on.
The commentator is getting his facts from Mick McCarthy's press conference yesterday.

Villa fans giving Houllier some serious stick. He might be gone before Dunne leaves.
Another OG today..
