2nd, DOL will be branded a god, noone will protest about Doug, Angel will hit 27 goals and be branded a hero, then decide he's leaving on a bosman.

How much would a decent pair of relatively-stylish-but-not-too-wanky sunglasses set me back?

Simple enough, never wore sunglasses in my life, but Im sick and tired of squinting at everyone at bbqs and the like.

I have toyed with the idea of getting some sunglasses with a month or so, but every time I decide to start looking for some, I see someone like this....

tossers

...and can't help but think I'd look like a knob.

So, simple enough, sunglasses, yes or no?

With thanx to beta.org...

Gareth Barry. Average before xmas, excelled since. Nobby is a very close second, but the away form lets him down a little.

My mistake, but cracking link, may I suggest everyone looks at the above mentioned website, and decides whether it was luck or abilty that made him a top striker for us last season.

There are very very few players that hit the same amount of goals that dont manage it again some time within their Premiership career.

I'd like to know how many strikers hit 20+ a season once, and then don't manage it again, despite playing regularly. This is not a comment on JPA himself, before the idiots start, but someone must be able to find the top ten goalscorers for each season since the premiership started?

Surely luck alone wouldnt get you 20+ goals in the Premiership in one season?

Can anyone provide the stats? I'll have another look now, and post what I can find.

As someone who burns in 10 minutes of sunshine, in April, a baseball cap is useless.

Its all about the bucket hat in my eyes... The 90's are just around the corner.

See one here modelled by Macca, of San Andreas fame...

Davis, simply because he's been playing first team football a hell of a lot better then some of our more established players this season. I hope he carrys on and becomes an absolute shit hot player in a few years.

I quite like Hendrie, always have done, and probably always will do. But Bowyer is a better overall player.

Yes, he know's he's on borrowed time, and let's be honest, Hendrie, a troublesome average midfielder, or Bowyer...?

Ridgewell.

Sorted, 82 or before. Sorry been drinking Bud.

Er... Shit dunno, wait for the edit in 2 mins.

Simple enough. Were you born before 1982?

Darius, but not for a full 90 minutes just yet, maybe 60 minutes, then bring luke on and get him to terrorise the defence even more...

JPA for his sheer passion when he plays, he wants to score, he wants to win, and he too celebrates like a Villa fan, you can't ask for anything more...

We miss the experience of RJ and DD at the back. As good as any player may be, we need another coolheaded experienced CB to partner Mellberg. Laursen may be the player, but I haven't seen enough of him to cast my judgement yet. And our midfield need a kick up the arse too. McCann running the middle of the pitch, and Hendrie providing a "creative spark" when he plays, but Nobby and Barry need some competition for their places. Complacency in midfield has cost us points this season, but nothing appears to be done about it...

I'm with Norway on this. Barry is an exceptional player, but I dont think he is best suited for LM with the current squad. When Solano has the ball, you expect a lot more to happen, he is much more attack minded then barry, and willing to take people on. Barry's game seems to be a lot more reserved, defensive minded.

Of the all the games last season, I think we looked a lot better going forward when we Whittingham on the left, he liked to get up, and cause trouble. When Barry started on the left, J'LLoyd was the player running the flank and taking people on, leaving us dangerously open at the back. I'm not saying I would like Barry to be replaced, but he has to run at people a lot more, we need an attacking edge on both flanks as we lack skill and flair in the centre.
