I ask again, what did he do wrong at Bristol that everyone keeps talking about? I've watched the goals plenty of times but I don't see nothing Dimitri. Sounds like Groupthink to me

I just watched the goals again about 10 times here: I really have no idea what the **** you're all on about Goal 1: It bounced in front of him. Keepers are coached to parry bouncing balls. Could have been MAYBE a bit more to the side. Amavi asleep for the rebound. Goal 2: Wtf was Westwood doing for the assist, holding the midfielders hand? Chester up out of the line. Finish was decent for 1v1 Goal 3: He didn't need to take any steps before the leap, so positioning was fine for me, finish was top corner. Where's the problem? Or are you all just looking for a scapegoat?

No. I don't think he'll have much to do with transfers.

Just saw the goals, what the **** are you lot on about?

Just saw the goals on 5. What **** GK mistakes are people on about?

Tony quoted Mao a few days ago

"Line of questioning" is a bit generous. He and Keith haven't exactly been too civilised for the parts I've seen. It's been pretty "conspiracy theorist angry rant" bordering on libel for the most part.

To be fair there are plenty of routine reasons why people are added temporarily as company directors, especially in the early days. It gives them the legal right to sign documents in the companies name, otherwise every little thing (from accounts, legal, HR, paying invoices etc etc) would be waiting for Dr Tony's signature, and I think he probably has better things to do with his time.

David Caruso approves

To be fair, he has been going off on one about bankers and Samuelson and how it's a big conspiracy to bleed money out of the club to a Swiss bank account and they are all criminals and the FBI and asset stripping etc etc etc for months now. Been pretty tiring and a bit libelous if I'm being perfectly honest...

Piss off, I'm Australian. My coaches growing up were a Dutchman, a German and a Italian (no this is not the beginning of a joke). My football education was continental and Westwood is still shit.

What wavelength is that? "Receive ball, look forward.. no no can't play a pass into feet, look sideways... dither... dither.. uh oh midfield has been closed down, need to play it back to centre half for a long ball upfield" ?

Just paste the link here and it will automagicly put the tweet

2+2 = 5 from Doctors tweet about loyalty

Means nothing. The market would be so small that some guy putting 20 squid on it via his phone would be enough to move the price

It's boring now mate

To be fair, we don't actually know if we've bid. All we know is that Percy has been told by *someone that we've bid. (where someone is villa, west ham, the players agent or someone else)

The Sheff Wed game was the epitomy of Westwood's time at Villa. I didn't even notice he was playing until he had that chance fall to him in the 55th minute. He wasn't running the game, wasn't cycling play, wasn't playing forward balls, wasn't tackling, wasn't anything. On his good day he does move the ball around a bit, back and forth across the field and moves the opposition around a bit, but honestly the lack of ANY other part of his game (tackling, forward balls, creating chances, getting in the box to score goals etc) makes him virtually useless as a central midfielder. He is not a Paul Scholes, he is not an Andrea Pirlo, or any of the other "deep lying playmaker" tags you want to give him.

I'm not saying Joey Barton isn't "good" (for some definition of good). I was making the point that Joey Barton played for City, Newcastle & QPR and has 1 England cap and Schweinsteiger played for Bayern & Man Utd and captained a World Cup winning German team. If Barton at the age of 35 can rip up the Championship, then what a 32 year old BS could do doesn't bear thinking. Anyway, its tabloid rubbish so a moot point.

Srs? If Joey Barton can rip up the Championship, imagine what a 35 yr old who actually WAS/IS good do? I'd take him in a second

If you think De Laet doesn't create a huge amount with no final ball, you really should spend some time watching Alan Hutton

"ae" in most European languages is like "air", so then De L-air-t but most English commentators seem to say De Laht so I think you could get away with anything vaguely similar

Great sense of humour though

"allegedly"

I have to disagree with your disagreement. Which handling in particular wasn't clean? He claimed all high balls in the Wednesday game without dropping any, and punched well in the Derby game. Which incidents are you remembering?
