Everybody was raving about Rashford after this game, and I agree that he was impressive at points...but bloody hell he doesn't half make some strange decisions. Hopefully he grows out of it because he has the ability. Game should have ended 7-1.

Hopefully Buffon's year, time is running out.

Get your **** head down Ross in the off season and preseason.. Please

I have never saw him live but google has him down as 6ft 1. That can't be right, can it? I agree with you, he looks like a little boy the same as he did 2 years ago.

I can't even fathom how he is a professional goalkeeper at this point. He is bad at pretty much everything.

That's what she said.

Using the photocopier at work when someone stands directly behind me and waits for me to finish. You can see from where you sit it is occupied. Now I feel pressurised to scan a whole lot of shit quickly.I just scan half of it as I feel like I am against the clock. Sit the **** down and wait, you word removed.

I saw this earlier and I chanced it again this lunchtime. Just snapped up two tickets in the Holte for £25. Double checked they were R so hopefully I will be in attendance!!!

I think Rafa will be gone at the end of the season regardless, I can only see him staying if he was given £100m+ which just isn't going to happen. The squad is poor, they have a lot of dross (as do we) that will not cut it at that level. Rafa won't be signing up to battle against relegation.

If anybody (ANYBODY) is still here that oversaw the summer's business, signed off the cheques and was involved with the strategy and the appointment of RDM they should be gone.

I don't think Ross could ever justify £50,000 a week even playing week in week out at his then level. I think that is staggering that this deal was signed off as a Championship side. There should be major question marks asked here.

£48,000 he is reported to be on. Quite staggering, bloody hell Tony.

If this is the case and it is serious as I think it sounds the best we can do is put our arm round him and get him onside.

I don't think I have ever heard someone try so hard to save face before. You didn't want the job anyway Alex. Right. Gotcha!

Agreed.

Okay, maybe not Bravo....but 99% of top flight goalkeepers.

Every goalkeeper is a brilliant shot stopper at this level though, I don't even understand that phrase to be honest.

Probably not the wisest decision to open up the comments on this one BBC.

Since little old Brighton secured promotion it peaked my interest of where teams have come and gone in the past decade. The year before Randy took over Swansea had finished 3rd in League Two, Hull were second in League One, Sheffield Wednesday had just won Promotion to the Championship through the play offs, Bournemouth and Huddersfield were mid table League One sides. Stoke City, Burnley and Leicester were scraping it out to finish in the top half of the Championship ( all failing), whilst Watford and Brighton bravely fought off relegation to League One. The PL table looked like this. At least we aren't Portsmouth. 1 Chelsea (C) 38 29 8 1 72 15 +57 95 2005–06 UEFA Champions League Group stage 2 Arsenal 38 25 8 5 87 36 +51 83 3 Manchester United 38 22 11 5 58 26 +32 77 2005–06 UEFA Champions League Third qualifying round 4 Everton 38 18 7 13 45 46 −1 61 5 Liverpool 38 17 7 14 52 41 +11 58 2005–06 UEFA Champions League First qualifying round 1 6 Bolton Wanderers 38 16 10 12 49 44 +5 58 2005–06 UEFA Cup First round 2 7 Middlesbrough 38 14 13 11 53 46 +7 55 8 Manchester City 38 13 13 12 47 39 +8 52 9 Tottenham Hotspur 38 14 10 14 47 41 +6 52 10 Aston Villa 38 12 11 15 45 52 −7 47 11 Charlton Athletic 38 12 10 16 42 58 −16 46 12 Birmingham City 38 11 12 15 40 46 −6 45 13 Fulham 38 12 8 18 52 60 −8 44 14 Newcastle United 38 10 14 14 47 57 −10 44 2005 UEFA Intertoto Cup Third round 15 Blackburn Rovers 38 9 15 14 32 43 −11 42 16 Portsmouth 38 10 9 19 43 59 −16 39 17 West Bromwich Albion 38 6 16 16 36 61 −25 34 18 Crystal Palace (R) 38 7 12 19 41 62 −21 33 Relegation to the 2005–06 Football League Championship 19 Norwich City (R) 38 7 12 19 42 77 −35 33 20 Southampton (R) 38 6 14 18 45 66 −21 32

I can't speak about others and I don't really care about the carry on in the past at Villa Park...but I hate him because, with the exception of Tottenham ( who wouldn't let him) - he has systematically destroyed or helped to destroy, the last 3 clubs he has managed...and has somehow gotten away with it. The man is complete scum. Naive chairmen with little knowledge chasing short term gains and glory are ten a penny but a so called 'football man' who has been in the game as long as he has he should know better....but again, he doesn't care about these historic clubs, their fans, their stability or their future. He just spunks money up the wall chasing his own personal glory. £131m wage bill on gate receipts of 20,000. Nothing spent on infrastructure, nothing spent on the youth academy, nothing spent to benefit the future of the club. The man is as guilty as the people who run these clubs, perhaps even more so with his knowledge and background.

Well that escalated quickly. Will do doubt be on a good bonus if he keeps them up. It won't compare to the 'bonuses' he got at Portsmouth for signing the likes of Benjani and Utaka but it will be decent for the retirement kitty.

Koscielny. Never rated him and never will. The most overated CB going.

There is shit, then there is shit. Then there is Eirik Bakke. Then there is Salifou. Then there is Djemba Djemba. Then, way, way down below below this lot is Gary Gardner.

Comfortably.

I would love to know his win ratio.
