  1. Well this is wonderful.. just down the road for the Dallas game and then a Saturday away day for Houston. Whoever arranged this I want to kiss.... but it is damn hot here in July. 90-100 degrees so I hope they are ready.
  2. You play him because you want to win games and avoid relegation. Apart from the odd game the other numbskulls have proven to be a complete liability.
  3. This season he has pretty much played himself out of a big move. I hope he stays with us and I hope next year he is over his 2nd season shitness and tears it up again. I still hope misses like today work out to our advantage in the long run and he is still a Villa player next season.
  4. I was wrong, so wrong about Delph. I would have chased him out of Villa a couple of years ago because I thought he was crap. Actually he was crap... but he isn't anymore. Lesson learnt.....
  5. F me...... if we go all the way through to Hull before our next win things will be suicidal around here and we will be right in the relegation mire. Stoke, Fulham, Palace Southampton and Swansea are all winnable. Surely we an get a couple of wins and 7 points of out those 5 games. Add 1 point from the other 3 and we should be sitting on 39 points for the Hull game...........
  6. The greatness of that move..... an oasis in a desert of crap play this season but it gives you hope. Please let it give me hope.
  7. His second season syndrome or whatever his problem is just might work in our favour. Who is going to pay the type of money we will want after this season's performances? He might set the World Cup on fire but probably not. I think there is every chance he is still here next season........
  8. Saying he is better than what we have had is not exactly setting the standard too high is it? I hope he stays.... we need 3 better quality players in the summer, not 6 we are taking a punt on. We have had enough of those. If he is available and wants to come he should be purchased.
  9. Why do we big up players that are not in the team and trash the ones that are? If GG was the answer to today's issues he wouldn't be sitting on the bench of a fairly useless Championship team. If he played for us, within 3 games people would be saying he is crap and should be shipped out.... I hope he is given a 1 year contract and chance to start again next season... then we may see the real GG. If he doesn't make it by this time next year, he probably never will.
  10. It is not scapegoat time. With less than 1 minute to go he heads the ball inside to one of their players, then when we get it back he makes a sloppy pass and 10 seconds later they score. root cause of goal... Bennett!!! Head it out. Play the play up the line and out of danger. So fed up. I hate watching Villa play.
  11. I didn't notice it at the time as I was too busy having heart attack over the shot but what is Bertrand doing on the goal line? Talk about attacking fullbacks....He is playing centre forward!!!
  12. He scares the crap out of me with his penalties. If the keeper guesses right he saves it because he passes it into the net.
  13. There has been times this season when Gabby has been shit, there has been times when Andi has been shit and there has been times when Benteke has been shit. Bringing Holt on under such circumstances may actually boost the team and not make it weaker as had been suggested. I can also see a battering ram final 20 minutes of Benteke and Holt as being quite a useful weapon because lets face it our tiki taka play at home sucks (is non existent) and we need to try something different or the boos and poor form will continue.
  14. I prefer to think it is 2nd season syndrome for him, Benteke and some of the others. It is not the time to give up on them, it is the time to put Andi on bench though and see if he can rediscover his form making sub appearances. If not he has next season to start again. After that, if no improvement.... ship him out.
  15. Well for 2 years in a row as soon as he is out of the team we become a pile of shit. Don't know what that means other than thank god we got 70 minutes out of him at Sunderland and can't wait for him to return.
  16. Amazing comments - if doesn't take the game seriously and we lose he will be slammed. If he picks pretty much a full strength side in order to get through to round 4 we get. moans and groans from people that want backup players in. Damned if you do and damned if you don't!!!
  17. May I suggest we signed Tonev 3 years too early...
  18. You not being fair to Dempsey. He only played the final third of the season, was injured for part of the time and was on a new team. I still don't want Cahill though. Unless he is not the only loan. He would be off back to the USA in March for starters.
  19. Lambert might just be having a change of mind here. He is a crazy man if he continues down the path he is on and I don't think he is that. If we can see this sucks watching from 10,000 miles away, he also has to realize his summer signings are not ready. 1 day some might be but not today and not in the environment we find ourselves again. He needs all the experience he can get and Zog has that. I predict he will be welcomed back with open arms.
  20. Juan Mata is on his way.... friend of Benteke, out of the Chelsea team and looking for playing time... You heard it hear first, last and every point in between.
  21. Sorry bud but you just got to be put on the bench. 2nd season syndrome? Who knows but that is OK, we will stick by you to see if you can come back as you were. However for now...... it has to be time to sit it out and give others a chance.
  22. Time for him to be brought back.... last 3 goals given away were all from right back mistakes. A change is needed!
  23. He is so much better in ways we can't even see compared to last year.
  24. Yes he is playing badly but for now cut him some slack and get behind him. The team needs him back on form, Rooney goes games putting in poor performances and comes back. So do lots of others. He is young and now targeted by opposing defenders plus we are playing crap for long periods of every came. He has my support and that will remain until ..... he hands another transfer request in January (Joke.. I hope!)
