Comments for Olof Mellberg Day, May 3rd 2008 at http://www.avfcblog.com , comment 1 to 35 out of 20 comments http://www.avfcblog.com Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:21:28 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19539 Derby fan in peace. always liked melberg for some reason (must be a beard thing) but i can't comprehend why any villa fans would begrudge a player who has been with you so long a nice send-off. it's not like he's cr*p either! we'd all jump at the chance to play in italy. i for one will be sad to see him leave english football. (good win on saturday btw - glad it's not just us that get a shedload put past us by you lot - and always good to see that lot lose.) - davetheram Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:33:50 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19431 He'll always be remembered in the Holte End in my opinion. He's been the cement in our defence in his 7/9 years here at Villa Park. We can't just let him leave without a good sendoff for him. Viking Hats and Sweden Shirts all round!!! - Plews Sat, 19 Apr 2008 13:58:06 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19116 I'm amazed at how many muppets write on this site; Olof Mellberg has been with us through some pretty bad years and always given 110%. he was always playing international football and probably could have gone long before now; why does he not deserve a good send of? He has been fortunate enough to have a talent that most of us would give our right arm for and rake the money is accordingly. Why shouldn't he get a nice pay day from Italy before the end of his career? He has given everything for this club and would do it all over again if he were 22!! - BigAnd Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:54:19 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19068 What fans need to remember, is that Olof as been with us through the bad times, and although I kind of agree that it seems a silly time to leave while we are a better club then a few years back. I understand why he as decided to join Juve. Even tho I personally find the Italian leagues a absolute bore I think he'll do well there and hope he does well. We'll all miss that beard tho ;D Maybe we can get Laursen to grow a beard! - Joseph Bayliss Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:33:08 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19067 He dont deserve it all. Very overrated, be glad to see the back of him. just because he has been here 7years and dont like blues hardly makes him legend. - Brian May Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:47:09 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19057 I like Olof, he deserves a good send off, but there's a little bit of ice in his heart. Very Swedish. He probably doesn't even get really emotional when watching his collection of porno videos. - WayneG Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:15:03 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19039 Most over-rated player in my time down the Villa (40 years). 100%r though so fair play. - AVMark Sat, 12 Apr 2008 22:31:32 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19038 Taglor, I suggest you finish your G.C.S.E English class and come back with something meaningful - Jimmy Villain Sat, 12 Apr 2008 22:21:53 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19035 woteva, its the end of an era. he has served us for several seasons. good luck to him. - pazzler Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:54:22 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19023 @ Jimmy Villain, first of all you don't listen to this blog you read it, and secondly I'm sorry if I upset you as you obviously are very protective about your favourite bearded man and love him very much. - taglor Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:49:58 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19010 Leroy, never said he was a legend read the post again [u]carefully[/u], just sick of people bloody moaning all the time and veering off topic from the original article. Mellberg is not a legend, not like Cowans et al, but he's given the club 7 years of service and I for one think that worth a festive send off. Jaf's comments were stupid and I have no idea what Taglor was on, sounds a bit depressed to me. I also agree with AV33, and it's nice to see someone putting together a constructive comment rather than a pointless rant for a change… - Jimmy Villain Sat, 12 Apr 2008 15:18:42 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-19001 @ Jimmy Villian, "what is wrong with people knocking Mellberg?". Nothing is wrong with it,just like there is nothing wrong with praising him. Im saying hes not a legend and agree with AV33 all the way. Ill be standing showing my appreciation vs Wigan like everyone else, i just dont think hes a Villa legend, you obviously do, which is your opinion.... - Leroy Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:06:06 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-18999 i agree, he's been a great player for the club, wouldnt class him as a legend but he's done his service and as much as i don't want him to go, Juventus is a massive club and i think it time for him to move on. Just hope he scores on the last game of the season. - vogra Sat, 12 Apr 2008 07:16:41 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-18997 Olly has been a great servant to Aston Villa. I think his best years for us were played at centre back. He coped well when put to right back but his distribution let him down from that position. I can't blame him for taking his swan song in Italy (i suggested his head was already there weeks ago before he got sent off). My point is...he's been a great servant and i'm all for the beards and sweden gear on his last day with us but Villa legend...i'm not so sure. Mr Paul McGrath, Mr Dennis Mortimer etc...... Anyway...UP THE VILLA ;) - AV33 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 02:58:46 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-18994 What is wrong with people knocking Mellberg? Taglor why write that? Are you even a Villa fan or are you on some moral tip? He's a f* football player, an entertainer, they all make a lot of money the same way that boxers and tennis players do. People go to see them and get paid to entertain, that what they do and that's why they are paid the salaries they are paid, it's business pal get over it. I'd rather watch him and pay than have to listen to your depressing tones on this blog, jesus. Could we please stay on topic on this blog, all you f* moaning depressing tossers go see your therapists… Thanks - Jimmy Villain Sat, 12 Apr 2008 02:26:06 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-18993 i might even grow a beard - boyo from bris Sat, 12 Apr 2008 01:39:33 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-18989 Thanks for doing the job that made you a millionaire it must have taken guts to play 90 mins of kicking a ball around every week, you deserve even more money because you want to move to another club. Such a hero all the old soldiers on pensions were never as deserving as you. This world is so fucked and the money so wrongly distributed. - taglor Fri, 11 Apr 2008 22:01:53 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-18981 Jaf you are a twat, Olaf's been class for us for the last 7 years. Viking hats on chaps… - Jimmy Villain Fri, 11 Apr 2008 18:13:24 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-18975 100% behind OMD. Quality guy always got time for the fans. I wished him all the best at Bodymoor Heath the other week. - MJC Fri, 11 Apr 2008 17:42:20 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2292/70/#comment-18974 The guy leathered Freddie Ljungberg... course he's a legend. I'm paying my respects to the best Villa centre back in the last 7 years. Good thing we have Laursen to take up his mantlepiece (sic). I truly he hope he returns as our defensive coach in 5 years. Get in Ollie! - Arrlui Fri, 11 Apr 2008 17:40:58 +0100
