    I don't know what he could do today...I saw the team and expected defeat. Imagine a Liverpool team without, Suarez, Sturridge (the next backup), Gerrard, Henderson and Agger. That was our equivalent right there...I'm starting to get nervous again, I hope we can stumble over the line.

     

    Yep any team built on a budget - will be 3 injuries away from disaster - we have 3 such this week. I would have taken a point today - even before the Delph Injury...

     

    Would you really accept that against a team of Fulhams calibre. That is a sad indictment if its true of where we are now.

     

    It's more of an indicator of just how bad our injuries are at the moment.

     

    You keep saying that but this is the worst team in the Prem we are playing who have just done the double over us. We ve broken so many losing records this year it shows its not just today its all season.

     

    We ve promoted nothing from our youth set up in the last few years or even given them a chance. We ve played a host of players out of position in numerous games including today when better options were available. Baffling substition after baffling substition is made. For every one step Lambert brings us forward he is dragging us back at least 2.

     

    I would honestly love for him to suceed with us but I can see very little in 2 years from him to think he will.

    The injury list again: wBenteke; Okore; Delph; Gabby; Kozak; KEA; N'Zogbia.

     

    Every single one arguably a starter. Get a grip everyone.

    Missed the game today through work. Was having a fit when I saw the score. But to be fair with all these players out today, there was never gonna be a positive result from this one really.

     

    There s no way if all of those players were fit they would be on the field together.

     

    Okore, Delph, Benteke, KEA and Gabby would and N'Zogbia and Kozak would be on the bench.

     

    Isnt that basically what I said.

    Lords Lady's and Gentlemen may i present to you the awesome, the stunning, the wondrous, the tactical genius that is Mr Paul Lambert and his game changing substitution MR JORDAN BOWERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    Yeah, he should've brought on Benteke, Gabby or Koza-

     

    Never mind.

    Or Robinson?

     

    Or deep in injury time not take off one of the best players on the pitch and maybe take off a defender instead. You know cause were losing and maybe want to score.

  6. I'd rather see Helenius start.

     

    I think most people would. Holt at best is going to be a stop gap till summer. Whats the point of pushing him ahead of players we want to develop and bring on. This would be the perfect chance to do that now or even give Andi a shot in his natural position.

     

    Holt might turn out to be brilliant but on the balance of probablities he wont be. I don't hate the guy and I wouldn't begrudge him coming on as a late sub but if Helenius is every going to be ready for the Prem surely he has to be given a chance. All this talk about him being seemingly not good enough smells of bullsh*t.

     

    From the little we ve seen of him he looks half decent.

  7. Our defence has looked poor these last few games apart from Vlaar. The scoreline flattered them though and we were unlucky to not get a penalty ourselves, Benteke should have took at least one of his chances.

     

    Onto the next one.

    I thought Vlaar was poor today in open play. It looked like Rooney kept drifting over to his side and was finding piles of space in behind him. This meant that Clarke who was by no means brilliant had to keep cutting back to catch the runner.

    For the first goal Vlaar was badly out of position.

    Not even Eva Greens tits could redeem the film

     

    came very close though IMO wasnt expecting it to happen and then also wasnt quite expecting her funbags to be that much fun, pleasant surprise all round!

     

    and the marvel character thing, its fairly well developed, been bubbling around for a couple of years now, they're trying to hire a director and writing it now, assume that it will be phase 3, which if they throw ant man in there too and again assuming guardians of the galaxy, means that when they do finally get round to fighting thanos it could be him vs around 20 heroes... again assuming based on what RDJ keeps bleating on about there wont be an iron man 4, thor 3 and CA3 are both confirmed, ant man takes up the IM gap, still no news of a hulk film, build them up and up and up, and then do civil war...

     

    sorry if that's spoiled anything for you, but really thats just the tip of the iceberg from what they already officially released

     

    also just seen that they are trying to get round using the word "mutant" in avengers 2, fox has the rights on the word in the marvel universe!

     

    Well after the credits there is a scene which appears to show both Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch in it both mutants. I know both of them have been confirmed as being in the age of Ultron. Will be interesting to see the direction they take with the way Fox hold the rights.

  9. Just saw The Winter Soldier. Really enjoyed it probably the best of the recent Marvel Films for me. I enjoyed it far more than the Avengers.

    For anyone seeing it there are 2 scenes at the end after the credits.

    Interesting that during the film there was a single scene were they mentioned 4-5 other Heroes that haven't been in movies yet.

    One was definitely Steven Strange.

  10. I think he wants to play for England long-term

     

    'You never know what's going to happen' - Grealish coy on international future

     

    Hopefully he is playing for us at the start of next season and he can get into the England U21s.

    Would it not be better for Villa if he chose Ireland over England. Very few Villa players get called up to the England squad and when they do they usually leave us. See Downing, Barry, Young. It seems to be the mentality that you have to play in one of the bigger teams to play for England.

    Also he would be under a lot less media pressure/abuse playing in the Ireland squad and would have a far better chance of becoming an Irish cult hero than an English one. And lets be honest its much more fun being an Irish one.

     

    So from a Villa point of view I definetely hope he stays with Ireland. And its nothing to do with me being Irish either. Honest.

  11. GoT 1-3 is on Sky on demand, for those that haven't

    Yeah, that's one of those blink and you'll miss it facts.

    We've had the discussion before, Game of Thrones is intricate whilst remaining rather shallow, such is the bloody mindedness of its characters. For example, does it really matter that he's The Lord Commanders son? Maybe it will at some point, by which time they'd have to have explored it deeper I'd guess. Little facts like those add to the enjoyment, but they're not entirely essential.

    I cannot wait for it's return. I mean I can, I have to!

    Well he basically became The Lord Commander because of his sons crimes.

  12. When the ball was played Neymar was clearly onside that's all that matters for that rule. Doesn't matter that he was offside for the initial pass as he was no where near the ball and not interfering with play. Basic rule of offside.

    With a better ref game would be long over.

  13. ok I have just skipped to the end of this thread to avoid any spoilers, is this like a one off series or is it going to keep running and running?

    It looks pretty good and I'll watch it if its just one or maybe 2 series but if it if going to keep going for 5 or 6 then I can't be arsed for it

     

    Its 8 episodes long. The second series, if they do make it, will contain a completely different storyline and characters. Each series is meant to be a self contained series. Or so I've heard.
