Crouch not going to QPR, hopefully Harry will come knocking on our door for Darren Bent, they like paying silly wages

?

CI thinks he's Andy Burton or one of the other transfer bods on Sky

Got all his mobiles out on the kitchen table waiting for calls with some breaking transfer gossip.

I'm hearing Palacios is happening

Will update you later

Seeing as you know nothing more than anybody else, that wont be necessary.

What words will I eat? - 'That Bent/Ireland havent performed for Villa consistently at all'? No I won't. They havent. Darren Bent can score goals for fun somewhere else for all I care. He offers nothing to this club anymore and very rarely has. He will also offer nothing to his next team in games where he doesnt score and that will be far too often for me to give a shit.

 

Stephen ireland is one of the biggest disgraces ever to pull on a Villa shirt. He has never performed. At 27, we shouldnt need an experienced head in the middle of the park. It should be him guiding the younger players and earning at least 10% of his ridiculous wage. I also wont give a shit if he goes on to win titles with Barcelona (which he wont), because he will never ever try his best here.

Agree, sooner Ireland leaves the better, one good season at City, never done it for us.

Bent is a good player, but he doesnt get the service here, so can become a passenger, would like to see Lambert give him another go in the team though with Benteke. If he moves on, we'll get good money, and we'll just have to dream what he could have done with O'Neill's team with the likes of Milner, Young, Barry, Downing etc.

Nice to finally hear from Lerner, think he's doing the right thing sticking with Lambert, still believe he's the right man for the job.

Fingers crossed for a good result Tuesday to relieve some pressure.

I dont know what changing manager will achieve though, there is nothing better out there, and it means more change, and any new manager will have to work with the same set of players that are not good enough/lack experience.

He has been shite and should be dropped. The defence is crying out for experience

Hutton. Dunne Vlaar Warnock

He's not dross though, whilst he's struggling at the minute, i've seen enough to suggest he'll be a good player.

I'd have kept Hutton in the frame, but not Warnock, he had been dreadful for ages prior to being frozen out, and doesnt want to be here.

Lowton has been utter shite for well over a month now . He needs a rest.

So whats it to be, is he shite or does he just need a rest?

Unless Lambert pulls something really special out of the bag, I think we're down, one or two players from the Championship ain't going to do it. This has been said many a time, but the side is full of overpaid average shit, that i don't think has the fight to drag us out of the position we're currently in. Lambert really has his work cut out, he's inherited some right crap.

Is the snow affecting people's moods ? Very tetchy last few pages

Must be something to do with the fact we're going to get relegated in a few months and trolls like you.

I'm pretty sure KEA is at the African Cup of Nations already. Left last week I believe.

Good, he's rubbish anyway from what i've seen, runs about a lot, but not much else.

I like what Czechlad suggested, going three upfront, Weimann, Gabby and possibly Darren Bent, give Benteke a rest, N'Zogbia in there aswell.

Southampton are as bad at the back as we are, but we've got much more firepower, just go for it.

We don't get 3 points here, and we're in big trouble.

Oh you're a card, love these pictures, they're great. I clicked that like button thing.

i agree, not convinced it was deliberate but the movement after looks dodgy as ****, his hand movement towards the ball seems understandable but he almost slaps it down

but the ref / lino must have seen it and decided it was ball to hand, it would be talked about and declared wrong no matter the ref had given because of his reputation, didnt see enough of the game to say but i doubt it was a case of it won liverpool the game even if it was the winning goal (if that makes sense)

Nobody would have been able to avoid that

As soon as the ball hits his hand, he moves it away, he just doesnt have chance to haul it out of the way before making contact

I dont think thats deliberate but it'll get blown up because he's got previous

The ball bounces he's got no chance of getting out the way, and if anything, his reaction is to move his hand away from the ball

Should have been disallowed, but not deliberate. Ref failed to spot, L'pool got lucky.

Ramires should get a ban, Chelsea should get a big fine and Clattenberg is bound to get a huge payout, if he plays his cards right he could make enough to retire on.

Agree, the FA should hammer the pair of them for playing the race card on such flimsy evidence, it could have ruined Clattenberg, who is a good referee.

Times up. I've given this a chance, but i'm just not getting on with it at all, the multiplayer is a nightmare. Traded. Thats the last time i rush out to buy this on release day aswell!

Call of Duty Black Ops SMG 2

As Kurt said, if you ain't using an SMG, just go home.

Well at least u lucky buggers have got your game soooooo regretting ordering mine off Tesco , still no sign of it , all i'm being told is blame Royal mail it was supposedly dispatched on the 11th absolute shambled .

You should make a complaint, not having the game on release day is bad enough, but still no sign 2 days later, taking the piss. With any luck, they might throw some vouchers your way or something.

If its any consolation, the story is boring, and the multiplayer is the same as previous games in the series and with the same annoyances.

Agree with a lot of what has been posted.

This is no different to the games before, connection problems and shoddy hit detection.

Multiplayer is kill, 5 seconds later die, rinse and repeat over and over again. Bored of it already, at this rate, i'll be selling long before i did with MW3.

Anyone played Grief mode in Zombies? What is the point? One of your team mates goes down, you can't revive as the word removeds on the other team will just stand there knifing you, which restarts the revive cycle. Nice one Treyarch.

Well, it was inevitable, this game can game can just **** off. The super-fast gameplay is doing my nut in, you can't break cover without being shot to pieces, and the hit detection is still really inconsistent.

Camping isn't my problem

You can't get in behind people when you're always on the map.

Wouldnt worry about it, you're getting rid of the game the weekend. Until then, carry a rocket launcher.

Problem:

There is basically no ghost (level 55 what the **** is that?) and everybody is using UAV, meaning that at almost all times in the game you're on the enemy map, either make UAV a higher killstreak or take it out.

Hope Zombies is good or I might not even keep this till the end of the week

No camping now

Nice move Treyarch.

Online is heaving with drop shotters aswell.

word removeds.

They tweeted me today and put

There can be repercussions to that. Anything you do before the official release date is at your own risk. ^MM

Thats just the official line, they probably have to say that. Why would they turn the servers on Friday night, only to ban people that play before Tuesday?

You will not get banned for playing it earlier, you've got a legit copy of the game, which you're lucky enough to have received early, nothing to worry about. Their issue is not with you, its with the retailer that broke the street date by sending it out early.

The multiplayer has been tough so far, must be all the pro's that got their copies early! - roll on Tuesday when there will be more people online similar to me, ie, shit.

So? is it any good??

Yeah, what i've played of the multiplayer has been good.
