As did Alan Parry, Andy Gray, Dwight Yorke and Jamie Redknapp on the coverage I saw.

Shocking performance from Dowd, refereed the first half as if he was on the Man U payroll.

Great effort, no shame losing to Utd, but you feel a bit hard done by after Dowd bottled the Vidic decision - which was surely a complete no-brainer. Thought Gabby was excellent, rest of the team did well but Carlos should not have been playing. Shown up for what he is today - a poor right back. Must be a blow to Luke's ego to see Carlos consistently picked ahead of him at RB. Carew should have been on much earlier I think. Couldn't fault anybody for effort though. Disappointing, but reckon we'll be back before too long. I'd totally forgotten how exciting it is to see Villa in a final!

Just looking at the atrocious grammar tells you it's an untermensch small heath page "Aston villa need to be closed down to save them any further embarrassment" Good lord, if we're embarrassing I'd hate to think what that makes SHA. I'm pretty sure that they mean we need to be closed down to save them from any more embarrassment, getting thumped 5-1 can't be easy, neither can having your rival team do the double over you 3 times in a row.

They don't think that now Wonder how long he's got left? Love the comment "i am beginning to think we will never win anything" Sure they should have got used to that by now....

Quarter final against Reading. Beautiful, good nights work.

English website... whaddya expect?

1. wtf is an en-suite? 2. conservatory? greenhouse? really? do you live in a 15 bedroom mansion? does the butler bring you breakfast in bed?? 3. kill people and get away with it? you're mad. glad you don't live in the USA you'd be on CNN in no time! Ensuite = bathroom accessed through bedroom. Private bathroom basically.

Ah, Australian culture. None better!

For sure. Excellent finisher, prolific goalscorer for Spartak and Russia. Would improve our side without doubt.

Lol, even Phil Neville tells him to cut it out.

Harry can afford to treat Pav like this, cos he has Defoe, who we all know is the best striker in the world. Bendtner is the best striker in the World, he said so himself. Rubbish. If Bendtner was the best, surely he would be playing for the best team in the world... which we all know is Spurs.

He's played three games against Villa now and he was absolutely filthy in every one of them. I bet Davies still has the elbow marks now. He might well get a bad rep based on highlights, but in the three games that most Villa fans will have seen he was dreadful. Still a very good player mind. Just a dirty one. This.

You sir, have quite fantastic taste. My band uses that from time to time live as an intro. I was just listening to 'Go to Sea No More' by the very same.

I think I can shed some light on that. There was a blog on the BBC sport site a while back, the journo was (I think) a West Ham fan, but he lamented the fact that 90% of his football journo colleagues were Tottenham fans. So for starters, I'd say there is a heavy bias towards Spurs in the media, especially in London.. which of course is where most the media is. And you know how many people lap up whatever the media tells them. I think another part of it is this particular generation of journalists are probably mid 30's-mid 40's age group. They grew up (probably in London!) in an era when Spurs were THE glamour club. When Spurs were winning trophies in the early 80's, their side included Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa, two of the earliest foreign imports and thus very high profile. Not to mention a certain Glenn Hoddle. When I was at school in this era, everybody supported Liverpool or Spurs - and Spurs rightly had a reputation for playing some great football. Those days are long passed, but the reputation seems to have stuck.

Ah, when cars had character. Them was the days...

Wikipedia says that car won some beauty awards. Surely that's a case of someone having a laugh? Heh, I thought he meant a 1975 Rover, one of these buggers:

Yeah.. that is odd. Roisin would be the name, for the record.

Astonished at the negativity here... we've managed a creditable draw with Utd and everyone is whinging? I'm just delighted that we didn't lose. We're still in the hunt, played poor but took a point. Personally I'm pretty chuffed with that. :? Reading this thread anyone would think we'd been beaten 5-0.

As I said above, FROM NOW ON I SHALL NOT BE RESPONDING TO ANY COMMENT OR QUESTION ABOUT ME PERSONALLY. Let's give this policy a short-hand: Not Relevant or NR for short. I shall occasionally repeat this 'NR' as appropriate, until either boredom sets in or postees decide they actually want to talk about football. It's your choice. **** me. How full of yourself could you possibly get?! I think Trent and especially Mr_Dogg have nailed it, no humility. Priceless. Even by internet forum standards, Glaston is something else.

Top post That's an absolute classic.

I've been impressed with Carlos at CB this season, but he ain't a bloody right back is he? And his distribution was woeful at times. All round good performance though, shame we couldn't turn it into a win, but we're still hanging on in there. Really think it's time we saw more of Delf - we need goals and he can't do much worse in that respect than our current strikers.
