I think people should be selected on merit, not who they know thats all.

Valid point on Woods and Martyn, didnt have pointless friendlies those days.

I actually dont mind blues, prefer them to Liverpool, Manure, Arsenal etc.. if i werent a Villa fan I'd be a blues fan.

Having said that he hasnt even played for them yet.

I don't see personally how the FA can get someone whos never played at a better standard than regular league goalkeepers

12 League games in League 2 warrants an international call up?

Remember the days when quality like Chris Woods and Nigel Martyn couldn't get a game.. what has happened to the GK department?

Butland will be making his debut.. I'm not saying this beacause he plays for them, but what a farce! How can you pick a player who's only ever played 12 league games to make his national debut aged 19?

Its early every year.

When will they get their arse in gear and give the winners a spot in the chumps league, only then will it become a serious competition again

The thing no ones mentioned so far.. after all he did for Liverpool he then went to Manure and thus killing his legend status in a large number of fans eyes.

Can you imagine Sid in a blues shirt?

On that basis alone he shouldnt have signed for Manure

I think they use a mixture of stories from different sources and try to create the mystery footballer to get a following and intice public interest. Jounalist tricks, if the article teaches anything its not to trust journalists.

Apparently its going to have move support for ps3 but i cant find any articles stating how.

Do any of you working in the gaming industries have any more information? I'm trying to think how it could possibly work.

Would be nice to use my move controller for something as its just been sitting there for 2 years waiting for a game I can use it on. Only eyepet has had any use for it in this household, needless to say not by me though.

Fallout 3 (New Vegas didnt grip me in the same way)

MGS4 (surprised no ones mentioned this yet)

Arkham games

Mass Effect 2

Red Dead Redemption (really needed to be harder though, or at least have option to increase difficulty)

Honourable mentions to inFamous & Heavy Rain

Having not bought it last year, I will definitely be buying it this year.

I usually host the Villatalk PS3 league which I won in Fifas '10 & '11 so look forward to kicking your asses again

I did have a few games around my brothers house on Fifa 12 but found the defensive system very different and hard, probably ok once you get used to it.

Looking forward to it immensely

he reported a bent former team-mate to cops.

Darren ought to watch out then.

Albrighton, Bannan, Delph, Stevens and Clark are all overage this year so thats 5 spaces taken up that wouldn't have been used last year

Would like us to sign

Lb: Cresswell/ Bennett/ Erik Pieters

St: Gary Hooper/ Wilfred Zaha/ Rhodes/ Guidetti

Cm: Mark Davies/ Lewis McGugan/ Jake Livermore

Cb: Tom Lees/ Caulker

Wng: Georgi Chanturia/ Sinclair/ Tom Ince/ Matt Philipps

Out

Hutton, Warnock, Makoun??

Would have a decent team tbh with depth but a team pretty youthful!

Don't forget the 25 man squad rule.. we stand at 23 inc Petrov currently. Which leaves room for 2 more signings without any departures.

I sense this is the end of Delfouneso, remember him raving about the 14 shirt when he was given it comparing himself to Henry!

Now thats been taken away it seems like an indication that he could be off.

The sooner they ban loaning between premier league sides the better

Page 30? wow, anyone would think we're genuinely interested. Sure I saw quotes over two weeks ago from Lambert denying interest.

you didnt

lambert said we would be interested if he was available, but that there was nothing else to it

I did, sort of

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has dismissed reports that his club are among those looking to offer Michael Owen a Premier League lifeline.

Owen is a free agent following his release by Manchester United and announced on Tuesday that he is 'getting closer to finding a new club'.

Speculation has suggested that Villa may be prepared to take a punt on the former England international, but Lambert insists the 32-year-old does not figure on his summer shopping list.

"No, that won't happen," he told the Birmingham Mail.

"There was no enquiry from us, I don't know where that one came from.

"That's a non-starter. He's a top player, no doubt, a really top player, but that's for another team."

Lambert has also sought to distance himself from reports claiming that Villa would be willing to discuss a loan deal for Liverpool striker Andy Carroll.

He added: "There's nothing on Andy Carroll, no."

Page 30? wow, anyone would think we're genuinely interested. Sure I saw quotes over two weeks ago from Lambert denying interest.

He has a point though, Lambert denied interest few days ago.

Should I be worried this has gone into page 12? Really don't think the guy is worth it.

Although wouldn't mind that type of player but not for £20m and huge wages theres much better value for money out there.

Think Paul is a bit old to be honest.

Are you saying old people aren't honest?

^ especially when the early indications are that theres not too much to spend and we're looking in the bargain basement.

I might be on my own, but I think we've got a decent squad and I don't mind if PL doesn't bring in too many players. Especially when you think of all the promising talent thats come through recently, would be unfair to shift them on without giving them a proper chance to shine. Spend a year assessing then decide which areas need improving.

He's got them training today apparently, on a Saturday.. thats a first right?

**** off Skyscum and ESPN nobs

.. and the league instantly becomes as interesting as the SPL with all the best players going to Spain, Germany etc.

Would the mediaserver function allow you to stream a dvd from your computer or is that only for dodgy downloaded material.
