Even if we lose here, barring getting smashed, the last couple of games have not turned out too bad. We have got 2 of the harder teams out of the way and the relegation teams have hardly moved! A positive result here could really do this team the world of good!

If we win by 4 we no longer have the worst goal difference.

Us Europeans give the Americans a hard time over the food they eat, but I doubt there is anything they eat that is worse than that. Gauntlet well and truly thrown down!

1) Go for them both, they are both fantastic games If you have to choose just pick your favorite Genre, wild west or fantasy! What i will say is Skyrim is MASSIVE, if you havnt got loads of gaming time perhaps RD would be better. 2) A bit left field but check out the original Bioshock. Its old (and a 1st person shooter rather than 3rd), but for what you are looking for you wont beat it. (Alternatively, if you go for Red Dead you could satisfy both to some degree.)

Kompany unlikely to play. Excellent start, now for the other 20!

One win in ten years and you still buy it? Funny isnt it. Won around big from my 1st few bets, and thought id found a foolproof way of making dough. Its the curse of gambling!

If I buy a paper its the times. Occasionally I buy the sun for the footy betting tips (I won an accumulator 10 years back with its aid....sad really) I really do fear for papers, just how long can they be viable?

Its the only way I saw them getting a result!

Did not expect anything today, but lets not hide from the fact that yet again we fail to hold onto a result in the last 5 minutes.....Thats a relegation trait!

Weimann could see the whole line for about 10 seconds there, the fact he got caught offside is terrible!

Yeah thats right, what we needed was to have more players to pin us back!

No great surprise about this news, but that does not mean there is anything in it. Name me a player who has done well for a poorly performing team who is not linked with a move away? Of course his agent will try and stir things up, its his job to keep interest high. All I know is we are definitely not in a position to lose our main attacking outlet and contractually we are under no pressure to do so!

Reminds me of the classic... Roses are red Violets are blue I've got a knife Get in the f*ckin van

Fighter pilot! ....the top secret ones!

Great Gag!

Unfortunately for that to happen we need to get the points together to overtake said team!

Its lucky that Weimann didn't score that early chance, there is no way we would have held out for 85 minutes!

I cant believe that a man with that much ability and power has lost 12 times! He really should be up there in that division. well what happens now in the HW division? Cain muellered Bigfoot before he muellered JDS and Overeem was going to be the next title fight for Cain so what happens now? The HW needs some new faces in it IMO, people like Soa the Hulk Palelei from here in Perth would be a good shout. He has won his last 10 fights and has fought in the UFC before, Dana needs to give him another shot! I agree that the division needs someone like Overeem, and more like him. He does not need that much changing either to be a top fighter, just some new coaching. I really like the confidence he displays too, gives him a bit of a character missing from the rest of the division. However he needs to know that its just an act. Dana will definitely give him another shot, he is box office!

I cant believe that a man with that much ability and power has lost 12 times! He really should be up there in that division.

There is no way I want Lambert out, even if we go down! The main reason being that I fear who Learner will replace him with, especially when we havnt got premier footy to entice people.

This will be the real gutter about going down!

I dont care how unfit he is, we need someone who can head a ball in the last 5 minutes of a game. Wheel him out!

I hate football

To the majority of Aston Villa fans, new signing Simon Dawkins is very much an unknown quantity. These are some thoughts on the former San Jose Earthquakes winger from an MLS obsessive. FACEBOOK TWITTER When word broke that Spurs winger Simon Dawkins would be joining Aston Villa on loan through the end of the season, reactions were mixed to say the least. Of those that do not have much exposure to MLS, many recognized that given the player being an unknown quantity they would withhold judgment until seeing him in action. Others were not so kind, expressing the belief that any player coming to England from MLS should be treated with suspicion; that Dawkins came up through Tottenham Hotspur's youth system and was unable to find a place in their team only added to their belief that he just isn't good enough for Villa. Among those that do follow MLS, the reaction was much less widely varied. There were those that expressed disappointment and those that expressed a lot of enthusiasm, but there seemed to be a fairly wide consensus that cautious optimism was the appropriate response. Soon enough, we'll have a much better idea of whether or not Dawkins is capable of making an impact at the Premier League level. But based on what I've seen of him, I think there's a very good chance that he will. And for the record, I've seen a lot of Simon Dawkins over the past few years, including twice in person. My local team the Seattle Sounders played San Jose four times last season alone, and I watched the Earthquakes on plenty of other occasions. And in the 2012 season, the Earthquakes were a force. They led the league with 72 goals scored, with their closest competition being the Los Angeles Galaxy who managed 59. That attacking prowess carried San Jose to a Supporters Shield winning 66 points, and for much of the season the Earthquakes were unquestionably the best team in the league. Much of the credit for San Jose's success went to their three excellent strikers, and rightly so; Chris Wondolowski matched the all-time league high with 27 goals scored, while the two-headed monster of big, physical target forwards Alan Gordon and Steven Lenhart provided tremendous support and combined for 23 goals between them. That trio deserves every bit of the praise they received for their performances last season, but when I watched San Jose I always felt that Dawkins' contributions were given short shrift. He didn't put up earth-shattering numbers, but he was instrumental in acting as an outlet in the Earthquakes' lethal counter-attack, and his ability to take on defenders was among the best in the league. He's a quality dribbler with good positional awareness, and if you've taken a look at some of the goals he scored for San Jose, you'll know that he's got a pretty lethal shot on him. His excellent pace and ability to find space or make it for himself was vital in drawing defenders away from the Earthquakes' strikers. In terms of playing style, Dawkins is much closer to Charles N'Zogbia than Marc Albrighton, and given the style of play Aston Villa tend to favor at present that's likely a much better fit. On the downside, Dawkins isn't the most technically gifted player and he's unlikely to make a whole lot of jaw-dropping assists or offer much in the way of relief in terms of Villa's set-piece woes. And though he's capable of putting an absolute rocket into the top corner, he doesn't always pick his spots in much the same manner as Brett Holman, leading to attacks breaking down due to shots ending up in the stand. He won't contribute much defensively, and though he routinely torched defenders in MLS I can see him experiencing some difficulty adjusting to Premier League defenders and having less success in dribbling past people. All in all though, Dawkins is a good MLS player that fills a big need for the club and cost next to nothing. When word broke that Villa would be signing an MLS player to a loan deal, I was hoping that it would be someone like Osvaldo Alonso, Matt Besler, Omar Gonzalez, Aurelien Collin, or Graham Zusi. Dawkins isn't quite in that tier of players, but he's just below, and in a league that's top-heavy in terms of talent, that makes him a pretty good player. There's still a very good chance he won't impress with Villa, but I think the odds are better that he'll work his way into the rotation and make some positive contributions. Will he set the world on fire and single-handedly save the club from the drop? Of course not. But he very well could help, and at zero cost there's absolutely no reason to be anything but hopeful.

Really hope he can be more Vierra and less Berson!
