Foul on Petrov surely?

Dunne is Iron Man

Petrov's passing and reading of the game have been great so far. Some good efforts on goal also.

From James, Horsham, via text to 81111: "Ashley Young has no impact on the game and has been utterly rubbish. Either take him off or slap him into the second half O'Neill!"

Umm no, Ash's and Downing's tracking back and defensive work has been very good so far, just need them to get forward some more.

Our balls into feet are excellent and the crossing hasn't been too bad thus far. Dean needs to book some more Hull players second half.

We've defended excellent though for the most part.

It's an open game which will suit us, dirty Hull have upset our rhythm slightly. I think we'll step it up in the second half as they were giving us plenty of space to run into. Fagan and McShane are horrible horrible word removeds.

Fagan taking a swipe at Collins there.

I really want Hull to be relegated now.

Crap freekick by Hull, they are really targeting Warnock tonight.

Hull are giving us loads of space to run into in the middle of the park.

These Hull fans loving screaming hand ball.

Somebody please injure Fagan

Outstanding defending.

God Fagan is a horrible word removed.

Great play lads, can see a second goal coming at this rate.

Fagan is such a word removed.

Who says Gabby can't finish? Great stuff.

I'd like to think the Fonz as a real impact sub tonight, give us a different option in the last 20-30 minutes, he's not quite ready to be starting against sides like Hull. Still have us on a win, if anything Hull like to leak goals.

May as well lock the thread for now since it's been denied.

JOL: SPURS NOT BIG ENOUGH

"I know that Luis will not leave Ajax for - with all due respect - a club like Tottenham Hotspur," he said.

"He will only go to one of the very top clubs."

Suarez himself has recently stated that he does not intend to leave Ajax this summer.

Little Spurs.

Sorry to burst your little bubble

"Nothing to do with Tottenham or another club, he wanted to stay.

"And then it was finished so there was no problem. So this talk about Tottenham being not good enough for him is ridiculous.

"They have Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane, all these players. If they are good enough to be playing for Tottenham, Luis Suarez could be playing for Tottenham because he's a good player.

But he also mentions a massive fee which I doubt Spurs would pay for him.

"You almost get the impression that stories are put in there to kind of upset you at this stage of the season.

"It was interesting to hear Arsene Wenger talking about Barcelona and having to rebuff stories about someone who was under contract at Arsenal.

"They are having to get Barcelona to make statements about them not coming after a player."

That's what I suspected. May as well lock the thread for now since it's been denied.

Do MON and bacon face like each other? If United did come in for Milner they would need big money. It's amazing how bad Carrick has gotten, Gibson just likes to shoot and Anderson is pretty much a flop. If we qualify for Europe again, I think we'll have a good chance of keeping him, as he seems happy here.

The story is full of guesses and assumptions (hence why it's only speculation).

1. "Brian Marwood, the club's football administrator. Marwood has long admired Milner's qualities as a footballer and also knows the player well from his previous employment as head of UK operations for Nike, which sponsors the 24-year-old. " Assumption

2. O'Neill's long-term future has become uncertain and it may well be that Milner's next move is dependent on the decision the Villa manager makes on his own position in the summer. Assumption - MON has said several times he is staying.

3. Champions League football would be hard for him to resist Assumption - It assumes City will finish 4th

4. Villa appear to have hit a glass ceiling - Assumption- we are one or two players way from being a very good side

5. Randy Lerner, will tighten rather than loosen the purse strings this summer. Assumption - nothing has been discussed in regards to transfers nor will Randy seek to tighten the purse strings dramatically

6. Sir Alex Ferguson's eye Assumption - nobody knows his transfer targets, United need a striker more than anything

7. Milner has never rocked the boat at Villa and is unlikely to move unless Champions League football were on offer. Assumption - How do they know this?

I'm not worried by this story.
