Right Now in Non-Shocking Alan Hutton News
After almost having his transfer usurped by Fulham, the Scottish FA released a statement saying that Alan Hutton was leaving the Tartan Army's camp to discuss terms of a transfer with Aston Villa. As per the Guardian's Scottish football expert Ewan Murray (in their online transfer day liveblog), the statement was later amended to omit the words "Aston Villa" and rephrased it as a "possible transfer," but I imagine that's more diplomacy than an omen of Fulham sneaking Hutton out from under Alex McLeish's nose.
So, until something else happens, Alan Hutton will probably be an Aston Villa player. Which, I suppose, is better than nothing. He seems to be a good replacement for Luke Young, if not an improvement, but he's hardly worth getting too excited about.

I'm not sure I remember what excitement is.

Aston Villa is the cloudy day of football clubs. You almost wish it would rain, just because that would mean something was happening.
(Why yes, I am in Vancouver, how could you tell?)

Well, I'm in Portland
It’s cloudy and we’re listed at 62 degrees today. Watching this non action from Villa is saddening and makes me wonder if we’re dead. Sick of this shit…when’s hockey start?
Go Habs go.

Newcastle at least matched Fulham's offer. NEWCASTLE
A shitty yo-yo club in the bleak northeast with a maniac owner and Allan Pardew! God damn, we’re infuriating.
You know what’s the worst part? The WORST part? With a thin squad and zero transfer ability, they STILL won’t give Albrighton 90 minutes ahead of Emile fucking Heskey. If we’re going to stand pat, AT LEAST USE OUR DYNAMIC PLAYMAKERS OVER EMILE FUCKING HESKEY!
That is all.
