Where's this advertised then?

US - The Wire and Frasier UK - This Life Other - The Killing/ Borgen/ Spiral all brilliant in equal amounts

Done

German manager

Defence was ok though.......... 2 Pro bowl linebackers out and no secondary - shut out the eagles.

Harvin the good and Harvin the bad today. Needed that one or it was game over with SD chance of 20 odd point lead getting the ball 1st in the 3rd. Interesting 2nd half ahead.

VC2 has been great so far. Up to April and changing the classes. Not as good as the 1st, but one of those that I can't believe never caught on.....

Would be a bloody travesty. Couple of digs and a trip. Nothing in it at all.

I've always felt Clark was the liability. I just prefer Baker. Agreed though - together with Clark or with Herd as a partner, Baker looks ropey!

Oh dear................. RIP

PPSSPP emulator with Final Fantasy and Valkyria Chronicles II at the moment. PSP on a phone FTW. Downside is it's eating my battery!

This is one player I really misjudged. Keep it up!!

I like Baker as a no-nonsense centre back. Always have. Give him 2-3 years and he will be a bloody good player.

Fixed.

Nightmare....... Rather he stayed under the radar and was not poached if he plays well - or given horrific stick if he has a stinker.

Redcafe worth a view..........

Don't want him. Overrated bucket of tosh. Can't see where the love is coming from?

14.5 - Going up!

Kwan a bet?!

Lampard and Lambert................ Hope they both get nowhere near the pitch..... How naff are our forwards?

Just a bit knackered yet God-like

Story looks almost identical. Looking forward to a 2nd series. But spoilered it reviewing the original!

House of cards was excellent. Anyone watch the original?

A few Con classics: Love this one! LOL. I wouldn't sell him for £20m. Don't ask me to justify that. My opinion. And to think Coutinho could've pushed him for a starting place........... He's only played 50% time available in midfield for Premiership matches but he has played the most minutes of any CM midfielder. If any one of our midfielders cannot complain about game time it is Bannan. His only reason to move would be greater ambition than Villa. He must know how good he is, and the results the team get when he plays, so he must feel as though he has proven himself as a more regular starter than he already is. If Stephens comes in he will be an added dimension as he is not the same kind of player as Bannan. If we just got Stephens he'll provide competition for Ireland and Delph. If we got Coutinho from Inter, he'll provide competition for Bannan. Could have helped out Moyes this year then if only Fergie hadn't lost his marbles and retired and Wenger just refused to loosen the purse strings!! Yes, sadly he might be, for next to nothing compared to his true value. I'd expect Wigan, Swansea, Arsenal or Man Utd to be interested, but he'd probably only leave us for Arsenal or Man Utd. We'd still have Gary Gardner, if he can regain his form after injury, but if we could keep both Gardner and Bannan I believe we would have two world class players in our team. Under present ownership we can't afford to buy two world class midfielders, so Bannan and Gardner, as potential world class players, are IMO the Villa future. Yohan Cabaye's replacement at PSG could be waiting in the wings on Palace's bench! Nobody has said that. You did. Don't put words into our mouths, literally by quoting an imaginary statement. It can only be said Bannan was a more accurate passer in that game. That's a fact. To say anything else you need to look deeper. Ultimately, who is the "better passer" depends on how you define "better". Does better mean: 1. Is more creative when passing: provides more "key passes" and assists. Cabaye has 1 assist and 20 key passes, Bannan has 1 assist and 30 key passes. 2. Has a higher accuracy across the whole range of passing techniques (e.g. short, long, crossing). Up to game 23, Cabaye was 80%, 62%, 32%. Bannan was 80%, 65%, 46%. 3. Is better over 1 season rather than over 1 game or 20 games. In this case, we will have to wait until the end of the season to know who is the better passer. 4. Is better for the system you want to play. Leon Britton has no assists and just 5 key passes but he is a very important player for the Swansea team due to his passing accuracy alone, which is over 90%. Right now given the choice between Cabaye and Bannan I'd have Cabaye in my team, even though he is currently passing less accurately. Cabaye has a good long shot, is 4 years older and has more experience of big matches. There is no reason Bannan cannot be better than Cabaye in future if he keeps working at his game. A legend has left us. It was a sad day Just one assist. It's not really good enough and could relegate us. Had he have got several assists and maybe 3-4 goals we might be in a better place, if you want to start apportioning blame. I mean, if he is meant to be is a creative midfielder, what sort of creativity is that? I think Bannan is our lowest wage-earning midfielder who has started a game this year. If we stay up he'll be a legend for that assist, whatever happens. Randy should give him a bonus too. Con's comedy gold. The gift that just keeps giving! Motoring towards 500 pages! Keep going!!!!
