youcant make this shit up can you?

we play well for the first 40 minutes, passing it on the flor keeping possesion making several chances, then downing decides he wants to play on the **** right hand side because having bottled out of 5 challenges in a row feels it may be safer on the right

so albrighton who has been a constant threat down the right is forced to play on the left

hoof ball ensues for the remaining 7 minutes, hoof ball is boltons favourite game, i wonder who will win in a game of hoofball?

dowing was looking decent on the left, he was going past people and crossing it in, same with albrighton, they will easily get another 6 chances second half if they are kept in their PROPER positions.

in 1 half i have provved my point that they NEED to be on their correct sides in order for us to play well.

downing, if you dont like it, fine sit on the **** bench becuase players will tackle you believe it or not.

if that is the case get gabby on up front with benty and put young on the wing.

freidel has looked shakier than a junkie in need of a fix, just come for the ball for **** sake.

we have played good football for 30 odd minutes of this half, soetimes we have gone backwards but then it has been quickly moved and the forwards momentum is back rther than the **** stupid pass to downing on the right, he stops, turns back inside killing off any move and then passes back to a defender who then has to just hoof it.

we will win if we KEEP DOWNING ON THE **** LEFT AND ALBY ON THE RIGHT

oh, benty, come on son, you should have had 3 by now

Someone has an agenda...

He's been our best player this season, shut up.

How many times have we conceded before half time ffs...

Get in there Darren!

Keep the faith

Walker has played at CB a fair bit in his career. I'd rather he be at RB and Baker at CB though.

Great team, I was hoping for that last night. Delph and NRC I am looking forward to seeing.

10 English born outfield players it is.

Brilliant news!

He really thinks herd and Delph are better than warnock and beye?

It doesn't matter if they're better.

They care more and would want to do more for Villa. How would they feel if they were suddenly knocked down the pecking order. Houllier wants youngsters to supplement the first team so it's no good playing players who will be off in the summer instead.

Walker is on the bench, I think Gerard is worried about their aerial ability rather then the pace on the flanks?

Friedel; Herd, Dunne, Clark, Delph; Bannan, Petrov, Bradley, Agbonlahor, Delfouneso, Heskey

Fullback ares are a big worry.

Bannan, Delfouneso, and Bradley though Also liking three up front, rather we went for it then sit back.

People say he can't tackle, but his awareness defensively is superb. He always give his fullback excellent protection, as he is clever with his positioning and when to run with the ball and leave his fullback isolated. One game in particular was Chelsea away, he was fantastic that day dealing with Cole, didn't let him run with it past the halfway line which gave Cuellar an easier time dealing with Malouda.

Yeah he is 20 and no doubt the management will give him at least another year or two to show he is capable of playing for Aston Villa. He's improved a lot recently anyway and rejecting loan bids, yet sending the likes of Weimann out shows how highly we rate him.

Well they've got Rondon and Miku both scoring in La Liga now so there's two good young strikers for the next ten years. Got Arango in Germany who's always been a good player, Rincon at Hamburg, Rosales at Twente so they've got a lot of players playing in major european leagues now more than ever.

I think if it goes down to 5th again as it should, then it wouldn't surprise me if they nicked the play off spot as they were only a few points off it last time.

Uruguay did brilliantly at the last world cup but always seem to have a major struggle to get to the world cup and lack consistantcy, Chile were uplifted massively by Bielsa, he's gone now I think and Colombia have flattered to decieve for ages now.

Uruguay lacked consistency as they didn't keep the same formation, so many changes were made and Tabarez didn't find the right system until the playoffs.

The strikeforce alone will get qualification with ease. Forlan, Suarez, Cavani and Hernandez is one of the best strikeforces in the world right now let alone in South America. They also have the experienced Abreu who can always bag a goal.

Chile are a good team, Bielsa or not, he did a fantastic job but the talent they have is phenomenal. I agree about Columbia, they have real leadership issues too, but Venezuela are a goalkeeper and a defence from coming anything close to the rest. This is the Venezuela I saw in qualifying anyway.

Ethan Moore

Rondon's looked brilliant for Malaga all season, another goal last night.

Venezuela have suddenly starting producing some good young players like miku at Getafe so wouldn't surprise me if they finally qualified for the world cup in Brazil.

I doubt it personally.

There is the extra spot this time but they're still far behind the rest. Argentina will qualify as normal, Uruguay are a footballing nation back on the rise, Chile have a phenomenal amount of talent and then the likes of Colombia, Ecuador and Paraguay always have an array of talent.

Venezuela are improving but are several players away from having a good squad.

Oh man...

If Luke Young isn't back I guess it will be Delph at LB.

Leo takes best supporting actress.

Well deserved.

Hate all the red carpet stuff...

Liked the intro to the awards though

Player of the season atm by a country mile. Although that's not saying much, none of our players have been consistent apart from maybe NRC.

Beckford is starting to look like a very good signing.

He was great, he often pushed forward whilst Dunne would sit back and mop up. Both complemented each other very well and although Clark was good on the ball I thought Dunne was just as good. Although Blackburn didn't really pressure them.

He made a bad mistake but I'd rather he make it while we're 4-1 up and he'll certainly learn from that.

James Collins out now apparently...

So Clark to CB, but who LB?

Bronson 7/10

Film about Britains most violent prisoner known as Michael Peterson and his alias 'Charles Bronson'. Generally the plot follows the events of how he got into prison and has pretty much stayed there for 30 years. In between there are a few fictitious events which make the story a bit more interesting. The plot isn't the most interesting thing you'll watch but Tom Hardy dominates the screen with an amazing performance and makes you feel as if you are watching the real Charlie Bronson. The director also did an excellent job with the cinematography and soundtrack which was important as very little dialogue occurs in the film, it's mainly visual. Not for the squeamish though, lots of violence and some full frontal nudity.

2025 wow, I can never get further then a few seasons without getting bored myself. Must be a great game!

I second Remember the Titans, excellent film.

Benfica win, 16 wins in a row now isn't it?

Congrats
