This is the dawning of the age of Helenius, the age of Helenius, HELEEEEEEENIUUUUUUUS!!

Good shout to start Benteke. He could do with a few goals and this could be the game for it

No Gardner or Helenius on the bench?

I want to wife her

Very much looking forward to the new Manchester Orchestra album!

This is the single finest beer in the known universe: I'll also be tucking into several of these later:

Can understand Luna, didn't see Sylla get too much wrong though so what were they saying?

No Helenius?

It's United. We will lose. We always lose. Pricks.

Can't see us getting back into this

Kozak was fine against Southampton. He was hardly going to shine when we couldn't keep the ball for more than 7 seconds. He got the goal, not sure what else he could have done? Must be injured?

Is Helenius injured or just out of favour?

Wish I'd have done that with the last generation. Literally ALL of the exclusives I want to play ended up on the PS3, I opted with the 360 because it was a little cheaper.

You don't know me - Ray Charles. My Dad used to sing it all the time when I was a kid. I had no idea who it was by, and never heard it anywhere unless he sang it. He died when I was nine, and from that day until I was 23 I never heard the song anywhere, it faded from my conscious memory, only to come back to me in a dream. At first it was just the tune, and then the line 'You give your hand to me', it took about 38 seconds to find the song on YouTube. I started bawling as soon as I pressed play. Music, it's a funny thing eh?

A beaten up red Vauxhall Cavalier Estate Or, as I preferred to call it, The General Lee.

I like the look of that, dodgyknees!

Not really, there hasn't really been a point in their history where Madrid haven't been successful. One could argue that they have underachieved recently considering their financial outlay, but they've still been successful in that time so it can't really be considered massive underachievement, even if they should have won more given their resources. We, on the other hand, have had no consistent success for the last 100 years, bar a brief flourish in the early 1980s. I'm not saying we haven't won things, but considering the size of the club we have massively underachieved, especially in comparison to a lot of so called 'smaller' clubs who have actually in many ways eclipsed us in success over the last century.

Us, without a shadow of a doubt. We're not only the biggest club in the West Midlands, we're the biggest club in the entire area between London and Manchester. We have one of the biggest and best grounds in the country, the best training facilities, an excellent academy set up, and have spent the (joint) longest amount of time in the top flight out of all the clubs in England. And yet, in the last one hundred years, we have won the league once and the FA cup twice. Yes, Rotterdam was a huge achievement. Yes, it's nice to have won the league cup a few times. But as far as domestic competition goes, in the last century we have underachieved dismally. Teams with more league championships in the same time period: Manchester United - 18 Liverpool - 17 Arsenal - 13 Everton - 8 Chelsea - 4 Leeds United - 3 Wolverhampton Wanderers - 3 Manchester City - 3 Huddersfield Town - 3 Tottenham Hotspur - 2 Derby County - 2 Portsmouth - 2 Sheffield Wednesday - 2 Blackburn Rovers - 2 Burnley - 2 Still...Up the Villa!

In SW London. Nothing but a bit of rain here, nothing too exciting.

This. Towards the back end of last season, we were consistently playing some of the best football I've ever seen from a Villa side, what happened??

Hard to judge him based on yesterday. He came up against a very good defence and spent most of the game too far apart from Weimann and Gabby to be effective. When Benteke came on, the attack narrowed and that was a big part of that good spell of play in the second half. They should have played that way with Kozak too, instead of playing so wide. He either needs to lead the line in a narrow attack or have Gabby playing off him in a 4-4-2.

That's the game

Cheers for the advice. Seems to be some good deals on TalkTalk too.
