I've no idea why he bothers putting 2 CB on the bench if he won't use them. It was the correct decision to move Jedinak there as bringing either of the other 2 on would've meant moving Chester but why have them on the bench though? Playing Hutton right mid is baffling. We aren't going up so why not try the kids out? Bringing on Elphick at 2 nil up to a team with 10 men was another strange decision. Positives from today are Hourihane looks the part and can play in a 2 but not much else. The football isn't good and needs to improve a lot. 

Their is noone else to put on the bench anyway.

Baker and Chester have been abysmal today. 

Hope we got him to sign the contract before the game started. 

I can't remember him making a save since the spurs game.

you are assuming baker is earmarked to mark jannson .

i dont think thats the way it works.

for their goal , hutton was on jansonn and failed to do enough to put him off.

for the volley onto bar , no-one picked him up , quite correct but why should that be bakers job why not chester , hutton or jedinak/westwood ,

 

Baker was definitely supposed to be marking jannson for the volley the replays show him marking him before the ball came in. He then completely lost him.

I've just watched it again. Not only did he lose the challenge against Jansson, he also blocked off (literally put his arm out and pushed him off) Baker from getting there.

Im not so sure he was Huttons man to mark i think everyone loses his man and Hutton just happens to end up closest.

As the corner was coming in it looks to me like Baker is watching him but much to far away as a starting position. I could be wrong though. 

Are you sure your sure your sure your sure?

We all know she's guilty of something though...right?

Because he hasn't wanted to sign the deal weve offered him yet. I'm sure they're doing all they can to sign him, but the chance of first team football elsewhere might be to much of a lure for him.

Pretty sure it's not!

Surely semi vs Liverpool counts.

He is the head of Recon Sports which we are a part of now I believe so their is some sort of connection. 

I may be wrong but I think Trent is referring to the Britain First chap, not the bloke from Nice.

For one thing, Ciaran Clark was a holding/defensive midfielder, that is until O'Neil played him as cover at centre-back.

That is why he hasn't got the basics of being a central defender in his armoury, although with decent specialist coaching he could make the transition, if he really wanted to. 

He has always been a centre back throughout his time here in the youth team and first team. He got played at DM as we had no one else at the time to play there.

I agree, I know it's a terrible cliche but all those shots that went straight at the keeper were hit 'too well', if one or 2 of them were scuffed or miss hit we'd potentially have won (like Wales winner).

To me a lot of our shots had a hint of desperation to them. They just needed to be a bit more composed in some of the chances we had. But instead they just tried to put their foot threw the ball.

I quoted Stevo, because I felt his post was an example of someone worrying what other fans think when you said that that wasn't happening. Also you suggest that I was trolling and I was trying to achive something. So why not take some your own advice.

I don't think think Steve cares, I think he was just making an observation.

The hating football fans some times is just a throwaway line. I doubt he has gone to bed tonight fretting over what random people online think over England's performance.

I'd want the money in full too. Non of this pissing about over 5 years like reported with the Tekkers purchase.

It's very rare for any transfer to be paid in one full payment. That wasn't specific to Bentekes transfer.

Anyway, decent episode, but very much a filler (but in a good way, just that it's moving the story on rather than climaxing with anything).

My biggest problem with it was there were two big reveals that completely went over my head

  Hide contents

 

Uncle benjen or whatever his name is. No **** idea who that is

and the guy who was brought out in chains by that guy who did the Red Wedding. No idea who that is.

 

Should I know them?

Or maybe they were just the Vanguard or ex long distance runners turned zombies of the army, as their was clearly more still coming.

Yep, or £435,903,389.47

 

Didn't the article say that's only how much money he's put aside for Aston Villa? Half a billion is nothing to be sneezed at.

No it said that is how much he had sold one of his companies for and some of it would come our way.

The maths in that article don't add up. He paid £52m up front and agreed to pay off the overdraft of £24.5m. That equals £76.5m so why only ring-fence £74m?

 

Maybe he had to put a £2.5m deposit down.

I do not think w will wait for an official takeover to appoint a new manager. Or for a takeover to be officially announced

Similar to MONs arrival or do you just not believe the Takeover has any substance?

There are two ways of fighting, the honourable way, and winning.  

So, the Hound's coming back? Some sort of repentance story arc with him killing the Mountain as he's about to do something terrible seems likely.

Hound will probably to be the churches Champion against the Mount in any trial by combat that may happen. If he is alive.

No one liners? 

I'm in!

No seriously, I would quite like to see this given the positive reviews. Do I need to see the other Captain America films first? Because they kinda look like they suck balls so I'd rather not.

The 2nd cap film is probably one of the best Marvel films to date. You probably could get away with not watching them but wouldn't recommend it.

They are obsessed with us. 

I don't think  they are personally. We are just such an easy target this season.
