If you remove the first 4 games of the season (in which we massively overachieved) from the equation how does Gabby's contribution to results look like? I think you will agree that the those games are in no possible way a reflection of our season. And Gabby hasn't come back from a bad injury. Well sure you can remove the stats that don't suit your argument all you want I suppose, still doesn't make them any less valid. I agree with the injury excuse, but it is still an excuse, same as the poor tactics or no service or mismanagement excuse. With Benteke all people look for is excuses as to why he isn't playing well, with Gabby all people see is that he's not playing well and instantly hate him for it, even though you could easily argue that Gabby has a lot more valid excuses than Benteke does. Again I'll clarify, I'm not saying I think he's better than Benteke, I'm simply saying he's putting in far more effort and currently performing far better than Benteke and gets nothing but hate for it. Give me a choice of a world class player like Ronaldo sulking around doing piss all every match or a bang average grafter like Harewood running his arse off and at least doing his absolute best every match I'll take Harewood every time (especially if his recent record is actually better, as Gabbys is now). A player can't really control how good/crap they are, what they can control is the effort they put in, that's why I'll defend players like Gabby and Weimann. They don't pick the team, they can't suddenly make themselves as good as Ronaldo, but they do their best for the team. Benteke? When he starts putting some effort in I'll defend him too You make some fair points (especially the bolded part) but Agbonlahor for me is one of the worst players in the premier league. For me he doesn't give a 100% anymore and he looks like he is just picking up his pay cheque. I already made this point in the rating and reactions thread but for his time on the pitch (which is nearly every game) the return we get from him in terms of assists, attacking play, goal scoring etc.. is probably worse than any other player in the league, how fans can still defend his place in the team i really don't know. Its a very rudimentary way of analysing a players qualities but check out the fantasy premier league website and look at Gabbys history of points since the start of the season. Its all 2's baring a couple of weeks, he doesn't do anything!

Agreed, my impressions before i saw it was that i would b longing for the more interesting characters from breaking bad to appear on screen but after the first 2 episodes the character is definitely holding his own.

Great movie Exactly, i haven't seen 50 shades and don't intend to but I'm certain secretary is a much better film.

What about Secretary?

No it isn't. Given the possibility of "insider trading" in the manager markets (*Cough* Redknapp *Cough*) bookies change the odds at the drop of a hat and won't take any big bets on those markets. Why would your average punter be putting money on Lambert to be sacked at evens or shorter? I'm not necessarily saying this is insider money but once a manger goes to 1/3 to be sacked things are definitely at boiling point. Pearson was 1/3 a couple of days after he had reportedly already been sacked!

He started at 7/4 before last nights game and went to 5/4 after it, 12 hours later hes 1/3 and pearson has gone from 1/3 out to 3/1 in some places. That is more than just fan money.

Lambert as short as 2/7 now with william hill and 1/3 with sky bet to go. Must be some serious money going down, hopefully this is a sign hes on his way out.

College Dropout was an insane album. I liked it at the time but i went back and listened to it a few months back and for such a large album the amount of quality on that album is unreal, barely any filler at all. Its definitely coming out again this year once summer hits.

How Agbonlahor can call himself a professional footballer is beyond me, in terms of appearance time vs doing anything remotely positive (e.g attacking play, forcing the keeper to make a save, contributing to positive play of the team and finally god forbid actually scoring a goal) he has to be the worst player in the prem. Weimann for all his lack of ability at least shows more work rate and fight than nearly everyone else. Sinclair - couldn't have been more anonymous. Delph - did nothing at all, not faulting him on the season per say but last night he was awful. Defence were generally ok but if Lambert is going to rely on a formation that requires creativity from the fullbacks he needs to replace them, Hutton is a solid defender but for the love of god put Lowton back in, yes he was shaky at defending but he got forward quite well and put in a decent cross, Hutton will not offer this. Cissokho really pissed me off yesterday, hes been ok over the season but he shirked so many 50-50 tackles yesterday, if i was Lambert i would have him out of the team for that, if you don't care then piss off. All in all that was probably the worst performance we have put in for 5 years, it was an absolute disgrace, nobody seems to care. We are breaking records left right and centre and still its apparently not enough to get this clown sacked, its like a bad dream villa fans can't wake up from, its that bad now Blues fans at work aren't even laughing anymore they are sympathising with me. It needs to stop now!

This is the same Hull who until tonight were actually worse than us - on league position at least. They wont have a more comfortable home win this season or for the next 5 seasons I imagine. We are a JOKE.

If lambert was sacked tonight - how could we possibly be any worse off for our next game? no goals, no wins, no passion and no tactics. Just sack the fecking idiot, theres literally nothing to lose.

Agbonlahor is actually one of the worst footballers in recent prem history.

Are we planning on beating the first man at any point tonight?

There aren't words in the English language to describe how utterly dog shit we are. Easily the worst team in the league. No identity, no passion, no tactics, just 10 blokes running around the pitch not really doing anything, earning a combined fortune of 3 to 400 grand for this evenings "work" Honestly makes you sick.

See ya Paul. Clear out your desk before you go will ya mate?

My main concern with Better Call Saul is will there be enough mileage for 2-3 seasons without it becoming boring. Really enjoyed the first episode and am now optimistic for the rest of series one, i did think i would spend the whole time watching it waiting for the more "interesting" characters to appear ala breaking bad but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, its certainly got a good team behind it. Also watched the first 2 episodes of fresh off the boat - i liked it personally and can see some good mileage in it I think its set in the early 90's which i'm looking forward to being a 90's child, i'm sure a lot of the references will be amusing. I thought i recognised the dad of the family and eventually i realised he played Kim Jong Un in the interview, he seems quite good actually and the main charatcer as Eddy seems alright as well.

I honestly believe this is the season definer tonight, win and we'll be safe, probably needing another 11-12 points from the remaining games to stay up. Lose and we'll probably go down, players heads will drop, fans will be even more vocal against lambert and every other team in the league will know they can beat us.

Disney own Marvel, so I'm assuming they already had the rights to make it if they wanted, though I'm guessing they asked. Exactly - Marvel and disney are essentially one and the same now so they can use their IP's as they see fit i imagine.

Its worth it mate, good film. Watched it last night and was very impressed, there really are some edge of your seat moments and thats no mean feat considering its a drumming movie.

Yeah another boring one for me, for the 2nd week in a row i haven't made it to the end. For once the best part of the show was the star in a reasonably priced car, Ricciardo didn't half thrash that car around, was very impressed that he also beat Lewis.

Work in 1st line IT support for a major computer company. It's basically answering the phone all day and we're meant to be pick emails but some lazy sods don't. Do you have an I.T background or is it basic stuff that a competent pc user could help with?

She actually believed they had just sent someone back to the 1950's? Christ on a bike.

What is it you do Stefan?

It was a mixed bag for me, Domhnall Gleeson was the best thing in it for me and that's an unusual thing to say when Michael Fassbender is channeling Frank Sidebottom with a massive paper mache head on the whole film.

Big Hero 6. Fantastic basically. Animation is top notch, there are parts where the main character is wandering about the city and you could swear its real. Characters are all good, especially Baymax. Havent seen Frozen and don't intend to so for me its a return to form for Disney. Loved it. Also for posterity i also watched fear and loathing last night after recording a midnight showing of it from film 4 or itv 4 i think. Still as good as ever.
