  1. Unfortunately when a few key characters leave it goes downhill. Enjoy the blast while it lasts though. Ramsey from GoT shows up and his character is awful to say the least
  2. Just watched, best pilot I have seen in long time
  3. Well unless your chelsea mate is Jose mourinho it's pretty much drunk talk
  4. But then he would (probably) not be English and therefore cost half as much.I'd be all for signing him for around £7m This is absolutely baffling. You'd pay the same amount for a striker from the Belgian league with an ok scoring record as a striker with proven goalscoring ability in the PL? Not saying there\s no better options than Austin but some of the comments about him are so OTT. Similar to Danny Graham? Give me a break. This proves that he's worth a decent amount if anything. 15 million these days isn't that much to spend on a striker because the market is ridiculously inflated. 10-12 million, I'd be chuffed. 15 million, still happy but cautious. If your gonna use stats for your argument , you must look at all the stats not just the stats that inflate your point of view , Balls won in air by benteke when we play thump ball that he knocks onto other players Discipline Penalty misses As I said very easy to turn stats into your advantage , but doesn't mean your near being right or wrong So stats can't be used in a discussion unless you list ALL of the stats to do with that player? Wow, you must be a right laugh to go to a game with You mention 'discipline', so what's that? Just the amount of red or yellow cards a player receives? I can't imagine that stat could he used to great effect. Also, you mention 'balls won in the air by Benteke when we thump the ball up to him'. I'd imagine that's pretty irrelevant when we're discussing the merits of buying Charlie Austin, as our style of play would presumably change. Those thumped balls wouldn't be lost by Austin, we just wouldn't do them if we didn't have Benteke to aim for. my point is , i cant stand how some people come on post 1 stat and say thats proves im right , if your too ignorant to see that one stat only tells only a bit of the story its not my fault , perfect example is eden hazard 14 goals and 8 assists , gareth bale 13 goals 9 assist, now ive given you more then one stat but still dose it tell a true story, one was best player in prem lg, the other was very poor most of the season,

Exactly , the stats above were in 1 year of prem lg and the other ones were his pervious seasons in lower lg, purely put there to inflate the argument

Folski used that stat and I quoted it. You quoted the stat , and said this proves it, not trying to target you , just taking in general term

  10. If he plays in an Irish set up from under 17 up to under 21 (taking the place of a young irish kid who loves and would be honoured to represent his country) and then walks away it says a lot about his character and it won't be long before he dose the same to villa
  11. Any idea what time Kahn fight might be on or which station is showing it ?
  12. Benteke or no benteke I'd go get Rudy Gestede from Blackburn
  13. Possibly being harsh but to the book stop with guzan for second goal aswel, as it is keepers job to set the wall and Richardson was in wrong spot from min go , for me guzan has been a liability for a while and this was gonna happen eventually
  14. Hoping to watch Aisling Daly vs. Randa Markos tonight in the prelims for ufc 186 , being the very first fight of night will this be shown or will coverage start later
  15. Wow woke up to the first four game of thrones episode leaked online , great morning
  16. You do realise the amount of concussion in game at moment is very very high, if you push defences back 10 , you are guaranteed to treble the concussion, as for choke tackle , I see it as an art , Les kiss introduced it to the Irish game, if anything it speeds the game up with attackers know they must either use the ball or take it to ground
  17. 1: MOTD when we win 2: GoT 3: Jericho
  18. Right after Elche do. Hotels in both of these city's must be cheap
  19. How long before someone says "A deal is done on the condition we stay up" ?
  20. Should be awesome , mcgregor never fails to entertain
  21. Shame he didn't get the finish but he dominated that fight. Ya fair dues to other guy, lot of other guys would have tapped
  22. Nice job paddy holohan
  23. This whole thing has nothing to do with villa , this is someone who has no interest in football trying to entertain them selfs at a football match, want to dress up and jump around get tickets for the darts

    Valencia are a top 4 club in Spain. It's like saying 'if he's not good enough for Arsenal, then he's not good enough for us' Madness. They also have one of the best academies in Spain - the fact that Valencia would've preferred him to stay shows me that he must be up there with their top prospects, as it must be difficult to break through with such an array of talent. This young kid is being put so high up on a pedestal so early is ridiculous, hopefully he fits into our system and dose well, but he is coming from a very different footballing culture and will therefore need time to settle in, of course teams like Valencia will say we didn't want to let him go, he is a product of there youth system which they will always try to hype and also with the re-buy clause in his contract they want him to think he is loved within the club in case they just might want him back Give him chance to adjust If he adjust quick great
