  1. Sounds like a good lad. Thats a good attitude. Hopefully he will push us forward. Could be an influential player for us in the run in. I'm still hoping for a top 10 finish.

  2. My favourite shows are Fringe, Dexter and Supernatural. Recently I've started watching a show called 'Lights Out'. Its a boxing show about a retired boxer who makes a comeback. Great show for any boxing fans!

    Rocky Balboa?

    It's a lil like that but its pretty decent. I would recommmend it to any one, especially a boxing fan.

  3. Has anyone seen the British cop show Luther starring Idris Elba?

    if you havent you really should.......

    just finished the first series on DVD (second series hasnt been aired on TV yet i dont think)...its only about 8 quid on the internet and definately worth the money...

    some great storylines (5th episode is a real standout and provided one of those moments where you actually shout "no way!" at the TV), Elba is brilliant and the portrayal of the serial killers really unnerved me at times

    cant wait for series 2

    I've heard amazing things about that show! I've got the first few episodes but need to give them a watch!

  4. I think for him to fully develop he needs to stay at Burnley for the rest of the season and maybe next season go on a season long loan to a new comer or someone in the Premier League. Just to give him 20-25 games in the Premier League which is more then he would get here until Big Hesk leaves. If he went on a season long loan to a Championship side I'd be sceptical to what he would gain in comparison to what he could gain from a season long loan in the Premier League.

  5. Fair play to the lad. We tend to play with a single striker and there is no way he is getting ahead of Bent, Heskey and Gabby, especially as we are out of all the cups and Bent is available for all our remaining games. I think playing 10+ games in the Championship and scoring regularly will do more for his confidence then sitting on our bench and coming on for 10 mins chasing lost causes.

  6. I think he should be given the Summer. Shift a few more players out, actually bring in a left back and give him a pre-season to mould the side the way he wants. Coming in when he did was always going to be a difficult job. I'd like to give him one more season.

  7. At the moment I think it makes sense. After the summer he could have a squad role. We have a lot of centre midfielders atm with the likes of Reo Coker, Makoun and Petrov being ahead of him. For next season he could be in the squad when a few of the players potentially move on.

  8. I'm delighted he has signed a new contract. He can be a very good player for us. I think after a run of games and training with the lads awhile longer he will be a key member of our squad in years to come.

  9. I think a point would be good but after last night I really really want us to win! My team would be:

    Friedel

    Walker Collins Dunne Clark

    Downing Reo Coker Delph Agbonlahor

    Young

    Bent

    I'm not sure about Delph, would possibily start Petrov over him? I don't know. I know a lot of people wouldn't play Gabby on the wing, but as we don't have a proper left back we need somebody willing to work hard there and to double up with Clark on the danger. Thats why I would play Gabby over Albrighton.

    I'm going to go with a 2-1 win to the Villa! Come on!

  10. I just hope we perform better then we did the last time we played them at their ground! I can't see us rolling over like last time, just wanna see some fight and passion! If Fulham can draw with them there I don't see why we can't do the same, especially as we are coming off a good win too.
    We need to find that balance between playing the nice stuff we occasionally do under Houllier, and making sure we stand up for ourselves and battle like we did a lot of the time under O'Neill. If we can find that balance, we're on the cusp of being a serious threat to the top teams.

    Yeah I agree. I think we have the talent and goals. Our first 11 is very very good. We just need the grit and determination. A bit of Steel. Our squad is looking better and better too with Houlliers signings. I reckon a really really good pre-season and we can be on our way.

  11. Delph did a decent job against Blackburn, he wasnt really tested but did well when on the ball.

    But it is crazy to say play him at left back, a decent right winger would tear him a new arsehole!

    He is a centre midfielder end of story.

    This.

  12. Thanks a lot guys! I've been to good number of games at Villa Park and never seen any trouble. I've ended up walking back to my car with away fans plenty of times! Just when I went to the sha game at VP and there was all that trouble, made me just think I don't really know much about going to away games so was best to ask!

  13. Never been to an away game before and this is my first so just wanted some advice! I'm driving down as I'm planning on going to the Trafford Centre and etc and have a look around Manchester. Can anyone recommend me anywhere to park? Are there plenty of places around there?

    Also am I going to be alright wearing my Villa top & scarf & etc? May seem like a stupid question but never been to an away game before and just wanna be sure they are alright up there lol

    Thanks

  14. If i order online would I still get them before Wednesday? Was planning on leaving early morning, what if my postman doesnt come til late. I will be in Birmingham city centre though so would it be better to just buy them from the ticket office in the store on new street?

  15. Bar Wharf sometimes show villa 3pm kick offs.

    Its on live at the cross sports bar oldswinford nr stourbridge!..

    Thanks for that mate. Will give em a call and find out. I finish at work at 4, need to decide whether to come straight home and stream it or go to the bar, take me about 5 mins to get to either.
