  1. They want a kiss just for sending an e-mail? Is that when you walk ten paces in opposite directions before turning around quickly and shooting each other with staple guns? If you're 3 team members down already that should be an indication it's not the most productive thing to be doing at work and also....
  2. You've only seen one of the three you're in? If even stars of the films can't be bothered to see them I guess there's no more damning evidence of their quality. I actually like them, I enjoy the 'switch-off-your-brain-ness' of them. What I don't enjoy is having to deal with all the jokers who think they actually are in the films in their souped-up metros.
  3. You're absolutely right, I caught up with him after the game and asked "Conor, how many feet do you have?" and he went So he's well aware, there's no excuse.
  4. My favourite bit, although it may be a bit of a spoiler, was when he
  5. The good thing about having both him and Grealish on the pitch is they draw the attention of the opposition and create space for teammates but they are both capable of beating opponents (Not in a violent way) and remain a threat even whilst being marked.
  6. So we can finish with the maximum of 88 points Fulham are 7 away from that (2 wins 1 draw a possible combination) and 12 more points to play for so that would be dropping 5 points. Cardiff are 8 points away from that (2 wins 2 draws a possible combination) with 15 more points to play for so that would be dropping 7 points. Derby are 20 points away from that with 12 more points to play for so would come up 8 points short even if they won all their games. We're one behind Cardiff and five behind Fulham with goal difference currently but that would surely improve if we win win win and they do not. I've got a good feeling we are going to go up automatically on goal difference.
  7. Seems sleepy recently. Unlike me up at this time, maybe he's been reading my posts.
  8. He did a similar thing against Small Heath after Gary Gardner's goal, the wily fox.
  9. That Cardiff game was one that sticks in the mind. And when I look back on it, the two names I'll instantly think of are Grealish and Johnstone. A top shot-stopping performance and maybe in time his poor distribution will fade from my memory...although I remember it now. Just posting a picture of him in our shirt displaying his name and number for clarification.
  10. I think he thrives with a partner.
  11. Ok, so the reaction may be... But imagine this man in charge? I think he's in Saudi Arabia at the moment but I'm sure we could tempt him away. Whatever may happen with him as our manager, it would be exciting. Yes, @rjw63 as our new manager. Yes or....

  14. Will we see or Or even And the torch is passed to The New Undertaker ????
  15. I managed to find an exclusive interview where he was asked for the secret to his amazing goal yesterday.

    John Terry

    Beautiful. And his 360 spin pass late on in the game, manz got skills. ^^^ It was destiny to arrive here.
  17. I would start Johnstone Elmo---------Chester------Terry---------Taylor Snodgrass---Hourihane---Grealish---Adomah Davis---Grabban Go on the front foot. Have Bjarnasson as an impact once again and let Jedinak rest for Bolton unless we absolutely need him. I think if we are positive this line-up will keep the ball and close QPR down enough for us to be comfortable. Have Davis in for something a bit different to Wolves. Possibly could be effective to have his strength causing problems for QPR's defense and act as a foil for Grabban. I also think he'll have at least five options to lay the ball off to and him being there injects the physicality at the front to cause immediate problems at that end of the pitch and give QPR no respite. I will say 4-0 Villa. Snodgrass, Grabban, Hourihane and Adomah with a goal each all set up by Grealish.
  18. I would play Johnstone Elmo---Chester---Terry---Taylor Snodgrass---Hourihane---Grealish---Adomah Grabban---Davis And tell the defence to just get it away from our box. I think this line up is attacking but full of energy. I'd like to see us get the ball out wide as much as possible to stretch Wolves. We will have to be solid, the midfield will have to constantly close down and chase the ball. Davis will need to be strong with Grabban being wily. I think if he plays, Grealish will take the game to Wolves the way he did to Blues. Start him, that's always my philosophy, I can see the sense in introducing him later to tiring legs but I'd like to see if he can make an early impact. Jedinak if needed, may be a game for Bjarnasson to come on and impose himself with a simple play. It's going to depend a lot on our mentality. Defensive would just invite them on to us but there's a way to defend without being negative and that's to constantly impose a threat and that type of line-up would while having solidity at the back. If we keep the ball away from our net and play the game as far up the pitch as we can, I shall say 2-0 Villa with Hourihane getting both.
  19. Did you read the fine print in the bottom right corner of my original post?
  20. If we win on Saturday, we will gain the confidence to win the league. Fulham second and Cardiff through the playoffs beating Wolves in the final. I wonder if someone will make the '8pints has had 8 pints' joke? or say I've jinxed it?
  21. Leon Bailey Continue our relationship with Man U with a (Probably loan) bid for Angel Gomes Put a bit of steel and energy into the middle with Nicolo Barella Replace leavers with versatile full-back Benjamin Henrichs (also at Leverkusen like Bailey) (Leavers for a Leverkusen) (Two assists here in the Confederations Cup)
