whoever wins will struggle in the next round after extra time here.

Rooney has to go, offering absolutely nothing at the moment

Hart is Ace

Terry magnificent tonight and I can't stand the man

Don't worry, Terry is the walking definition for E=MC2

As good as he has been, he'll probably end up assaulting a stewardess on the plane on the way home and dating Rose West or similar to restore the bacalnce

Young got the ball out wide and shat himself

Very positive changes, I like Roy

Our goal is leading a charmed life at the moment.

Kudos for predicting the commentary

Young, Milner, Rooney, Wellbeck. None of them are looking up to much at the moment.

Rooney is having a poor game though. I dont think he has passed the ball to so many people in blue shirts since his Everton days.

A good point well made. Rooney not good again. needs a goal to make up for it

there are goals in this tonight. Will be dramatic if it does go to pens

was that a hand ball from Terry? I'm glad he got back there, but I had heart in mouth for a min there

I'm actually enjoying this!?

aaarggh that was so close too. Wow a wide open end to end game to start, who would have thought?

ooooh shizzle that was scary

Come on then England, let's be having you. (is Wiz here, I don't want to have to pay compensation to Norwich for using their IP)

Shaun Teale, Ian Taylor, Gordon Cowans, Alan Mcinally, McGrath,

We renewed as soon as AMC was fired. I got what I asked for and felt like I had to hold up my end of the bargain. Even happier now PL is in charge.

Really good concept for a thread. Better than buying the season review DVD for sure

I must have had 20 people come up to me at work to tell me AMC had gone. They all seemed genuinely happy for me, I was certainly happy to relive the moment many times in the day. It takes quite a lot to unify fans across clubs like that, I still know people that think Messi is not all that great, but that Villa is better off without AMC seems to be a universal truth.

I saw Bosko Balaban, Boulding, Joey Gudjonsson and Nii Lamptey (not all at the same time)

Poyet is my first choice (of the more realistic candidates). A bit of a risk, but what is life without taking a few?

I don't think the match reaction threads are anything to go by, I don't even look at those.

I agree, I have a season ticket and have been a member on here for donkeys years, but you can see for yourself how little I actually post.

Cant wait until this thread closes to many manic depressives on here,no wonder the drug companies are so rich...

You might have to wait quite a time then. Even if we are mathmatically safe at the end of the Spurs game whilst AMC is at the club relegation is a subject that will be on everyones mind. I don't see how the thread can be locked until we are safe, AMC has been got rid off and a successor appointed who has the goods to keep us up next year.

Imagine Steve Bruce being appoainted next.......

Yours a drug addled manic depressive.

Poyet for me. He has been nothing short of outstanding since he took up coaching, a real bright light in the lower divisions and won the Outstanding Managerial Achievement Award a few months ago. He can back up the coaching skill with the charm and charisma that he has demonstrated too. Granted he does not have that much experience behind him, can certainly none at this level, however if he did we would not be able to get him. I think we should get him before he passes us on the way up with another club.

Collymore is a dick. Whatever media he turns up in I turn it off (apart from the start of Basic Instinct 2 where he is killed, which I am happy to watch back)
