Hope he's sensible with the game at Anfield. If we're going down and on the end of a predictable spanking, don't want him going all Houllier. Speaks well on the website, seems a determined chap.

Got 4 in and it hadn't grabbed me really. Gets a lot of good press though.

The Gentlemen is OK. If you like Guy Ritchie, it'll fill a few hours. If you've never seen Guy Ritchie you might think it's great, but go and watch Snatch for a better version. Parasite is good. Not sure it's worth the monstrous adulation myself.

Got an Italian colleague who said he was solid as for Napoli. Dunno what 18 months on the bench can do to you but he was perfectly good before that he said.

Not sure what you want me to say to this? Do you think Wes is better than Mings? I don't. I don't care how many goals Benteke had once for us. I don't care how many Wes has right now. Performances for me please. He's been wandering round away from where the ball is and where it's going all season. When he does get it he's largely been rubbish. People can dispute it all they want by looking at other players and lists of stats but that won't mean Wes has been good. Well I suppose it could for some, dunno. It's a shame he's injured just as we changed to a formation that might have helped him, but I think most strikers would do better having Jack Grealish right up next to them than not. Mings would be better if he stopped losing the ball on the edge of our area yes. I still think he's a good player and important for us. Heaton is the best keeper Villa have ever had ability-wise I think. Yep. Ever. Him being out for the season has knocked me into thinking we're going down.

I'm flip flopping on "blame" a bit right now, think Smith needs to stay for the season, it's too late to do anything managerial wise. Had to be done 1st Jan. The players he's been given are not good enough. Where was the energy and hunger the other day though? Doesn't bode well for their belief in him which was something you could always say was there at the start of the season. I think you can stick your house on us going back to 343 which means an even lighter midfield next week. Nakamba and...Drinkwater? I'd stick with Ghazi through the middle, Jack and Trez either side. Dean....please....Neil Taylor...I can't do it any more. Drop him. We've gone back to not being able to go to one side of the pitch with him in the team.

They were all tiddlers yes. Infuriating watching them pop up round us for 90 mins and send us home with a bum smacking.

Mitrovic got carried off on a stretcher at the weekend. Ankle boshed for at least 3 weeks you'd think.

Remarkable stamina.

He's always been much more fun. Not even really a troll because he's not actively pretending he serious, every post is a farce. @villalad21 has no creativity in his trolling at all. He disappears whenever we win or play well. An obsessive Bluenose or wolves fan. Or Alex Bruce. Hoping he'll give up if we pull off a miracle and stay up.

100% That's where having Wes learning to play football while in the 1st XI has very nearly killed us. We should have got loads more points this season and would have if we had a striker who knew where to be and how to hold the ball. The worst and most expensive of a terrible bunch.

No complaints here, not my money. Depends if you think you have the "right man" or if you think the squad is rotten.

352 is the way to go for me, but I don't know what that was today, right mess. I don't think Smith knows what to do with anything beyond 433 sadly. However, you can play any formation you want and you'll lose with those effort levels....just unacceptable. Miracle if we stay up.

O'Hare seems to have fallen out of the Cov team which doesn't bode well.

Smith always makes a point of saying how much Hourihane moans when he's not in the team. Well the answer Conor, is that you serve up shite like that every time we aren't dominating a match. Every single time. Fred never hides. He always tries. Puts a shift in getting forward and actually tries to tackle and block crosses. He should be right into the manager tomorrow to see what the hell is going on and how he can possibly be out of the side when Elmo and Taylor are picked? I want him on the pitch every minute of the league season. Neil Taylor ffs.

Watford signing Ignacio Pussetto from sister-club Udinese for £15m. Probably slightly discounted rate and he's a wide player with ability. I don't mind Watford's way, it certainly can't be criticised the last few years. Makes me laugh as well. Team struggling? Off you **** please Mr. Manager. Ah, what's that replacement not got immediate results? You eff off as well please. It's the same as Chelsea and feels like no one else has won more in the last 15 years. Might have worked for us if we didn't initially have Tim wrecking everything over the summer.

We've blown it. We had one chance. A clean slate. Can't think of a summer ever where there's been such an opportunity to create any squad you want. Yes it's a challenge gelling them all but you can pack the squad with whatever players you want, so at least you'll have some quality. We've compiled a load of slow cowards, half of which can't control the ball FFS. How are we going to get rid of any of these? They've all signed 4/5 year deals. We could have got players of this quality for a third of the cost. With the money available we should have much better. "You don't get much for 8/11/22m" is all I heard at the start of the season. You do I'm afraid, if you spend it well. We've bought guff. Get a system in place. European football is all filmed now. We've got the resources to have every game watched back. Not just this Richard Madeley lookalike and his mates asking agents who they should sign. Some fans are still so confident we're staying up I just don't understand it. Who do they think will go down?! I hope the team believes. With Jack Grealish there's a tiny chance.

What would you like him to say? Do you think if he said "We simply must get a striker, we're desperate" the price of any deals might go up?

His value was the highest it'll ever be last summer. Thought at the time we should have tried to get him off to Leeds as a sweetner in the Phillips offer. Really silly by Smith to start him. Really silly. Did he think he'd suddenly be able to play against good players?

He always does that. Always, always, always. Drives me up the wall. Coward. Then in 12 months when he's playing terribly but scoring two at Wycombe, people will point to his good passes complete % saying he doesn't give it away.

Excellent as always. You'd hope Purslow is thinking this through. But I fear he has more faith in Smith and the current players than he should. We're choc full of players who need to be led. Can't believe how many footballers we have who don't want the ball.

Drink for Marv. Unbelievably, he's dropped Fred for Elmo again, and and still starts Taylor. Christ. Hourihane also starting.

Cannot put into words how much I'd enjoy it.

Ever visited Eastbourne? Went to a place called Belgian Cafe there few years ago that did loads of different fantastic pots of mussels. Almost gave myself gout working through the menu.

I let some chatter of Jimenez affect me and I'm real pee'd off at myself. Transferred Rashford out for him.
