Shenmue, it set the bar for production value that we now see as standard and truly kicked gaming into the 21st century. I doubt I'll ever again play a game that feels like it's 5/6 years ahead of it's time.
I don't know if it's really Houllier's choice. MON switched Ash into the hole pre-season. KMAC kept him there and GH continued the futile effort. Perhaps it's the most valuable, talented and influential player in the squad that's demanding to play there and since the players contract is on a knife edge the managers hands are tied? Perhaps.
General crack open the club Rolodex, for the Newcastle game you should assemble every former player with a love for Villa and disperse them throughout the stadium to encourage and fire up the fans so that they may do the same to the boys on the pitch.
The only way I can see Messi leaving is if he was to say I fancy a foray into a different league and setting a date like when he's 27 then running down the contract and barca selling him with a year left to run. The fee will still be astronomical.
I don't understand the calls for Mark Hughes, Fulham they have won less games than us and he had at least some preseason to get them ready. Sure we have a better team on paper but Fulham under RH were not a bad side, under Hughes so far they have been fairly rubbish.
Ash will probably try to make up for his penalty miss in the last match I just hope he doesn't try too hard and get frustrated while frustrating those around him. This is a game for the attack to pile on the pressure and keep Wolves pinned back to spare our ramshackle defence.
A good penalty taker isn't scared to make eye contact with the keeper. A good penalty taker steps up and blasts it, no mind games, no stuttered runs, no **** around. **** off Ashley! You cost us this game you **** word removed.
Whenever Downing loses the ball he busts a nut getting back to retrieve it (and often does). Great attitude. He still backs out of most 50/50 challenges but the rest of his play more than makes up for it.
I met Enda a couple of weeks after he had succeeded Noonan as the party leader. Needless to say he didn't inspire me with much confidence. At first he was well spoken and well presented about a dozen jars and handshakes later he had lost his jacket, his tie, his hair was a ruffled mess and he was utterly incoherent. At that moment I knew he would be the ideal figurehead for the country.
I had a lovely fresh Pork Loin that I forgot about and has now reached its use-by date. Had planned to stick it in the slow cooker but that broke so I'm going to try and cut it up and cook in the pan.
