Particularly a 2-0 lead with 2 minutes to go!Anybody trying to blame MON for the draw against Stoke is just being silly. The players should have strolled it, they funked it, and they knew it.Agree though maybe we should have brought someone on. Players should be covering a 2-0 lead though.

I'd rather he became our Fergie. Dont want a whinger Wenger, thanks.I voted for Aston Villa are to be his last and most succesful job in football.That's the one I wish happens and to be honest I can't see him managing any other team than Villa.
I think MON can be our Fergie or our Wenger

Mancini is hardly a Hiddink or a Mourinho, is he?

Wearing a black top when the opposition are playing in black and being forced to change. I'm sure this has happened before.
Then not having a replacement blue top that fits properly. Again, I think this happened last time as well.
Clearly this clown should go.

Still don't really understand why this doesn't include all the CB pairings that occurred in the 10 years. :confused:
-
By my calculation, the Mellberg/Laursen CB partnership achieved as follows (in games where both started at CB only)
2004/5
Lge Pl6 W3 D1 L2 F8-6A
2005/6
Lge Pl1 W0 D1 L0 F2-2A
2006/7
Lge Pl10 W5 D5 L0 F17-7A
LC Pl1 W0 D0 L1 F0-4A
2007/8
Lge Pl4 W1 D1 L2 F3-7A
Hardly Hall of Fame stuff, is it? Their best spell was in the last 7 games of the 06/07 season when we were unbeaten and eased into a finish at 11th.
I think this poll is a bit eccentric. Why no mention of Ridgewell, Zatty K, or, surely most oddly, Sir Gary Cahill of Villatalk?
Also, wasn't there recently a poll for best of the decade for every position, which came up with a CB pairing (can't remember what it was)?

If you don't think it's negative to start up a thread called "What was MON's biggest mistake [note past tense - has he left?]" and one called "Worst player of the season", in the week that we beat Man U at Old Trafford for the first time that most people posting on this board can ever remember, I would need to check what your definition of "negative" actually is.
This. Saved me saying it.WTF is wrong with us........"worst player of the season" & "worst decision O Neill has made".....with us fourth in the league and on the back of a win over Manure........god help us if we lose tonight - there'll be mass suicide!!!What next for a thread?
"Randy Lerner's darkest secret?"... :?
This is called VillaTalk, a place to debate opinions isn't it?
It's not being negative at all, people are just discussing things to do with Villa on a slow VillaTalk, it's slow because were doing so well and need things to keep VT going
Also by your reasoning, the next time we ever struggle or are in a bad position, then there shouldn't be any optomism on the board then?

What was the formation last night ? I have to update my FIFA 10
4-4-2 of course, you know, the one we always lose with.

I suspect it was the OPHow has Petrov even got one voe!?!? He's been immense!
I think that set the tone of the thread from the word "go".I decided my top 3 (or bottom 3) would be1: Petrov . I think our formation has not helped but has failed so far to repeat his form from last season .
That and the fact that Petrov's first name is spelt wrong in the poll list.
-
I'm surprised Dunne has got so few votes. He has been immense and very consistent in defence, which tbh is where the real improvement has come this season.
-
Nice positive thread, then... :winkold:

You could get hypnotised watching thatStiliyan Petrov - 5 - His every involvement seem to end with Martin Atkinson blowing his whistle for a free kick. Broke up play, but tested the letter of the law.:bonk:
Double :bonk:

D'you know, that's the funniest thing I've heard all week.Sorry mate, it's an in joke with the Irish. In Northern Ireland at the moment there is a whole spait of robberies concerning gangs using JCBs to steal cash machines! -
He said: "If you had listened to Sir Alex Ferguson talking before their European game, he mentioned that the most important thing for him was Saturday's game against Aston Villa.
Oh bums.
If we sneak a draw from this I will be over the moon.

The main problem for the 4-5-1ers is that, when Agbonlahor and Carew are both fit and on form, you gotta play them both because they scare and often beat the shit out of defences.
Which one you gonna drop to go 4-5-1?
-
Petrov is the best midfielder we have by a mile. For me, his name should go on the team sheet for every game, whatever the formation, as long as he is fit.

I wonder if that last comment means more injuries to follow?Man Utd pair out until new year
Manchester United's defensive crisis has deepened with the news John O'Shea and Jonny Evans have been ruled out of action through injury until January.
The pair were both hoping to return to action this weekend following thigh and calf injuries respectively.
But the club have confirmed they will not be fit until the new year, ruling them out of five Premier League matches and Tuesday's Champions League game.
United have a total of eight defenders in the treatment room at the moment.
Nemanja Vidic (flu), Rio Ferdinand (calf), Wes Brown (knock), Gary Neville (groin) Rafael and Fabio da Silva (groin) are also injured at present.
In addition, midfielder Owen Hargreaves and keeper Edwin van der Sar are undergoing treatment for knee injuries.
And with Wayne Rooney (hamstring) and Dimitar Berbatov (knee) having joined them on the sidelines for the immediate future with minor knocks, Sir Alex Ferguson's squad is stretched to near breaking point.
More to follow.
Like most other people, I am refusing to raise my hopes on this one. Expect the defeat and then it won't hurt.

I'm not sure it's that straightforward. A significant number of BNP supporters are former labour voters ( I think the figure was something like 35% in a recent survey).Labour.Conservatives are too close to the BNP for me, seem to recall a local Tory MP giving it all the "Britain for the British" speech, sounded a lot like Griffin tbh.
Even though I am starting to lean slightly towards the Lim Dems, I would move out if the BNP ever got voted in...
Also, I recall a phrase something like "British Jobs for British Workers" which came not from the Tories but from a Mr G Brown (it turns out he didn't mean it, though, like most things Brown says these days).
Also, Mr Brown's "policy" launched at the Labour Party conference of "forcing" pregnant single mothers to live in "supervised homes" was a more or less direct lift from a policy agreed at the earlier BNP conference.
But I think that policy has now been dropped as well.

Not even winning a penalty? :?Ashley Young really frustrates the crap out of me and he did nothing today to reverse that feeling.
