There's a world cup this year?

I hope not, will make these cards even more collectable.

yeah I think they are Panini version (rip off) of Match Attax. Match Attax don't do the WC tho I guess because they don't hold the licencing.

I prefer stickers. 

I do understand that, the nostalgia for stickers is strong. I have many a happy memory as a child but they just seem quite old fashioned and one dimensional now for me. With trading cards they seem like a basic form of Top Trumps you can mix and match diffrent 'dream teams' and come with special collectors tins to carry your swaps.

Anyone else collecting these? Having completed the Brazil 2014 set I'm looking to go again having just ordered a starter album and a box of 40 packets. The wife thinks I'm crazy collecting little cards with footballers on lol.

This lad is new Barry Bannan on here.

onomah to score, 1-0.

I do hope he can make it back, I fear that this injury could be the end of his career at this level.

See above. Not sure one torn hamstring would end a career. 

maybe not but two can, he's done unfortunately.

is it still mathmatically possible?

Sam Johnsonbone. I like him 

Must cause a problem getting the ball back when it is hoofed over the fence.

Win and go 4th with a nice gap to 6th.

I’d love to know what we do in training and what Steve tells the players to do pre-match and what the tactics are.

So would the players.

Whilst there may not be much appetite for buying jerseys less than 24 hours after another shite performance thought I'd flag that the JD Sports website is selling the away top, minus sponsor, for £38. (With sponsor is the usual £55).

That is a junior shirt.

I don't think we'll get anything over £2m for him. 

We're asking for money?

Seriously any chance this will be postponed now?

I'm just about to sign upto NowTV so i can watch it, I don't want to pay for a day pass if not on today.

Please please win 

I've picked my team but limited myself to only ex Aston Villa players. I think this is the strongest fantasy line-up:

Myhill / Schmeichael*

Cahill / Walker / Bertrand / Lowton / Milner

Albrighton / Gueye / Barry / Davis / Routledge

Benteke / Sturridge / Ayew

* I couldn't find another keeper, his dad played for AVFC so good enough for me.

How can I watch this?

I'm sure most people don't give a monkeys, but I don't understand the point of 'the first interview' with a new signing because they all say exactly the same thing in exactly the same 'voice' which clearly isn't theirs.

Bruce, big club, back where we belong. It's not even subtle! Whatever happened to the good old days when footballers told us about their favourite colour and meant it?

What if that colour is Blue. :-o

I think there must be something in these Hart rumours or else Dr Tone would have dispelled them by now... The fact that he hasn't mentioned it despite the media speculation seems to imply that negotiations are taking place...

Why would he want to quash all this great publicity linking England's keeper with his Midtable championship club?

Think it was only there for the JT signing , doubt it will be permanent .

What is stopping Recon paying say £4m just for that one off exposure. Thus effectively allowing AV to break even on the Terry deal.
