He's got no confidence at all. And what's worse is it doesn't seem to bother him

Where you watching a different game? He looked pretty bothered today

He didn't appear overly bothered to me either. If only he played with Bannan's attitude, he might achieve something.

I think I might be the only person that actually liked Cowboys and Aliens. Though it was much more old school Western than Sci-Fi blockbuster.

Did make me watch the 'Dollars' movies again, and all three are brilliant.

Gabby can keep this up all season as far as I'm concerned

N'Zogbia is so frustrating, he gets into a great position with the ball and then makes a terrible pass straight to the opposition.

Quick heads up just in case anyone hasn't seen it, the fantastic Four Lions is on Ch4 at 9pm tonight.

**** mini-babybel!

Rubber dingy rapids mate.

Two things here,

The look on my girlfriends face when she said Fife was a dump (my GF's a fifer) was priceless.

Secondly, What the hell is with all the crying, I just don't comprehend it. Because she said she loved her nana?

It's not even like her nana's dead or anything. People keep saying to me it made them cry. What the hell is wrong with you???

This is out this week, but have heard very little about it since the amazing trailer. Not sure this bodes well. Anybody seen much of it?

I re-bought GOTY and my old saved worked fine.

Not sure what to expect from The Rum Diary.

, the book is great, and you want Bruce Robinson to make a second great film. But Johnny Depp has to be about 25 years to old for the role. It's supposed to be a young kids first real job in journalism.

As I said this player was probably spotted by McLeish and his scouts at Small Heath.

In that case I really hope he turns out to be one of the greatest fullbacks we've ever had. Because the Bluenoses' bitterness would make it taste all the sweeter.

You need to be buying good experienced players and players like this, may be a flop but could be amazing, as I know nothing about him I couldn't judge which way. At least it shows a bit of scouting system at work.

I know people were liking Herd today, but just looking through the Guardian Chalkboard on today's stats, and Herd made 26 misplaced passes. Against better opposition that would be a disaster.

god how shit are we at set pieces now

I agree, this is a real worry.

No idea where those 3 added minutes came from!

Herd's head injury, I think.

I'd hope any manager we have will pick the players he believes are the best for his team (his favourites, of you will). If the others don't like it, well that's football. I sure as hell wouldn't want a manager picking players he didn't favour.

Now if AM's (of MON's, or GH's) favourites differ from yours or mine, then that is a completely different argument.

For some reason, when I went online with the beeb to watch football focus on Saturday, they showed One Flew over the cuckoo's nest instead. I must admit i'd forgotten how good it is. Brad Dourif is excellent.

Brilliant film, Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher give two of the best performances you'll ever see.

We need some quicker brains in the danger areas.

Quote: One more signing 'of quality'. Hmmmm.

Well I don't want players that aren't quality, and I certainly wouldn't want to sign for a manager who didn't consider me 'of quality' either.

We could organise a VillaTalk whip round if Randy is struggling to find an extra million quid or so. I'd happily stick a fiver in to make this happen.

Randy nor any of us are allowed to put extra money into the club under the new Uefa FFP rules. The club can only spend what it earns.

I think thatt only applies to wages. That said i'm sure man city will find a work around, so we should be able to aswell.

Point 4, is a very grown up reaction. I usually expect the 'you wouldn't say that to my face' argument, to be met with the moderators red text.

It got 9 out of 10 on IGN

Scott Pilgrim, marketed at teenagers. With computer game references for thirty year olds.

My view is that AM is not as terrible manager as people make out. And I personally wouln't be completely against him.

However, to appoint anyone who is so unpopular from the outset would just be a stupid decision. The bad blood, would effect the fans relationship with the board. It would most probabley effect the players. And most worrying effect attendances and atmosphere.

To even begin to counter the negativity, AM would need to appoint McGrath and Cowans as his backroom staff, and sign Messi in his first week.

I am correct in understanding that we will be appointing the guy from steps?

I don't think I ever recall hearing stories of any other club holding a series of interviews before deciding on a manager. Is that just me?
