Good chasing Gab, won a FK right on edge

Quality turn from Delph there

Their team just does not seem to have the character they did under Brucie (who is know widely regarded as the top young English manager ). As bad as they were, you at least always knew the likes of Savage, Horsfield, Purse gave a shit, and I HATED playing them. This lot don't scare me, they are not nasty enough. However, the pessimist in me says they will stay up and Wolves, who I'd like to stay up will go down.

Let's do this!

I'm hungover.

I've been saying for around 18 months now Nigel a compete waste of time playing centre mid. You could argue he's a waste of time as a footballer but that would be slightly harsh. He's quick, he can harass people well and stick a challenge in if the opposition player is devoid of any courage or skill; beyond that he's useless. Not sure if his future is as a full back or even right mid? But as a central midfield player, he's a joke. Said it so many times, his touch isn't bad but he has to position himself facing the ball and NEVER takes it on the half turn opening himself up to drive forwards he traps the ball under his feet, then moves himself around it, like a child when they first learn to play football. If he doesn't get tackled or just save time and pass it to the opposition he has a dirty little habit of giving it to someone else who is under monstrous pressure by one or even two men and invariably they then lose the ball. Funny thing is, the other players must notice this. Surely in training they notice he can't do anything with it? He breaks up our attack play just as much as he may break up the oppositions. I am not a fan. I'd say get rid but then we'd only have two fit first team centre mids. Whether he needs a move to spark his career back on track, or maybe a permanent conversion to a full back, I just cannot see him being a success at Aston Villa. I think he'll b gone within 12 months. ---------- Good stuff tonight! Kids look very good, top attitude. I worry about our ball retention still. Now, this is pre-season and we were playing a very good side but still I want us to keep the ball to give ourselves a rest almost. We defend for long periods, looking fairly comfortable, then break very quickly and its all rush rush, very exciting tomfoolery. Whilst that is sometimes the right thing to do in that circumstance, and it does suit our style of play, if we don't score off the attack, or win some sort of set piece up the other end we lose the ball and are then subjected to another 3 or 4 mins of defending outside our own box! Just a little thing I'd noticed about our play. We need a top midfielder coming in with Barry's ball retention qualities to try to move on in this department from last year, not in a month of Sundays can I see this happening sadly.

Hulk just flattened Sidwell? Get Gardner on there to crunch! Maybe for Licahaj?

got channel now cheers looking fairly good tbh. Need to look after the ball a tad better, giving ourselves a good work out chasing it round though.

cant seem to get the yank comm on gol tv keep just finding spanish?? can anyone send me the link for TVU please? the one on myp2p just opens a blank internet tab???

Brilliant pressure!

Cokes is a nightmare What happened to the player we saw at West Ham, at least he could dribble then!

You're all Nazis!

Value box! Why oh why oh why?! Taste fairly nasty when you eat them, but 4.90 for 2 (so called) chicken breasts and shed loads of donor meat, chips and salad! How can a drunk man turn it down.

That is crap and good all at once...

Had enough now, getting a bit wound up. I need to chill. God help me when the season starts. Lets hope we have one or two players in.

Don't like match threads here Ive decided. I get lost. We need a midfielder. Petrov looking ok-ish, collecting and moving it on, Sidwell quiet, NRC shouting and tackling some people then offering no support when we have the ball.

What the hell is our formation now? gk rb cd cd lb rm cm cm cm st lw? ash all over the shop. Very young right hand side as well now.

I hope they are sow-er if we win. Anyhoo, I think we may lose this, and everyone will flip on here. Carew didn't have any internationals so why is he getting time off?

Just added a cheeky rhythm del mundo track

Welcome back General

Well don't think they'll get Lescott but it certainly gives this team a good game Friedel Young Cuellar Davies Shorey Milner Sidwell Petrov Young Carew Agbag

Find it hard to get excited about games unless they are in tournaments. Maybe a bit more so if Villa players are in, when Barry got into McLarens side, I used to just watch him move round the pitch.

dont want them to, i think if they dont they could be in a world of trouble good job theyve got shearer
