It arcs like one of Robin Hood's arrows.. brilliant Jack, brilliant!

Oh Villa, whenever there is an air of positiveness around, you always manage to bring it back down to its correct pessimistic level.

Gardner (and possibly Gestede) checking this thread right now...

Ohhhh, ruby Ges-ted-e? Or Ges-te-de... Let's hope he gets off to a flying start and then when we play Liverpool (with Benteke only scoring once all season) the boys can sing 'Don't you wish your striker was Ges-te-de" towards the Scum fans. Then Gestede nets a hatrick and we win the league... and the cup... and automatically win the Champions League ahead of it even being played. Oh, and i win the lottery I thought it was pronounced Gesh-stead though? :/

I seemed to be locked into SD when I turned on earlier, admittedly it was only the last 30 mins of the Wolves game but the quality was crap. Happened with the last game too, but that bumped itself up to 720p after the first 10 mins and had no issues.

I'm 95% sure it should be more like a shortened version of "Gway-yeah" but nobody believes me (possibly because I have, on occasion, been known to spread misinformation due to being wrong ) I was wrong once too.....but then it emerged I was right all along. "Gay-yea" according to the French bloke I know. Sure he wasn't asking you a question? Hard to tell, I was a little pre-occupied with his cock in my mouth I hope that Sherwood plays a close to a full strength team on Tuesday in our friendly against Wolves, it'd be nice to see how Gueye plays when everyone else is actually trying.

He wasn't in the team for the game on Sat night. Physio room has him down with a knock and 'no return date'. Fantasy Football has him down with the same, with a 75% chance of being fit for the game against Bournemouth. We have another friendly on Tuesday against Wolves, so hopefully we'll know a little more then.

They were obviously doing damage limitation at the start of the game as it was being broadcast in about 240p and looked like a crappy stream for the first 10 minutes or so. After that though it worked as advertised and I was extremely happy with it.

1-1

I haven't got an analysis other than it was all just a bit uninspiring for the most part :/

Oh Libor, that should have been a much better header!

Same old Villa, conceding just before the break

Yeah it was awful, just sorted itself out about 3 minutes ago though. Looking a lot better now.

Wait till there is about 20 people connected to the server! Looks like they have knocked the resolution down to combat that problem. I don't have the 'cog' option to put it into 720p.

Grealish picked up a hamstring problem in Portugal. And Gil took that knock in the last game, so safe to say both injured.

As quick as this came on, it went away. Seems to be working on all browsers and internet connections now

So do we reckon that Delph's u-u-turn was due to getting info about how rosy things looked with the takeover on the table, and then changed his mind again once it all fell through?

Didn't you say the Govermnet stopped the outflow of Chinese money? I've not seen any reports that this happened. China have blocked major share holders from selling their stock to stop the bottom falling out of the market. Perhaps that is what Omariqy was referring to?

BBC Confirming clause has been met (Last time I used this picture, Delph stayed. Let's hope it works again!)

I've tried to catch up on this thread, but it's going at a bit of a fast pace so not sure this has been posted before... A user on the Liverpool subreddit made a fantastic post by breaking down the qualities that Benteke has and basically why Liverscum fans are crazy to think he is too sh*t for their team. He goes into much more depth, and whilst perhaps not as interesting as the wild speculation on here, I thought it was worth posting

From everything I have read, we would have to accept the bid. However I can't imagine that the staff members at Villa park will be rushing and running to make sure paper work goes through on time. I imagine the fax machine might be on the blink too

I'm not that bothered to be honest. It would have been nice to wake up and read that the owner of Nike had bought us and was going to spend as much as FFP allowed, but we certainly seem to be on a better track with Randy, Fox, and Sherwood than we have in the last 3 seasons. We've effectively got 3 'new' players for the season already, right? Sinclair, Richards, Gueye. We've kept Delph for now, Kozak's back, and everyone loves Gil so he'll be like a new player. Sell Tekkers as he obviously doesn't want to be here, that's cash we can use for a new forward and a new left back and a bit of support for other positions. We have the high earners off the books, the team can score, so sure up the defence and stop leaking petty goals. Let Fox take the chairman role so Randy doesn't have to do sh*t, then just go for it this season. Easy peasy, f*ck all to worry about chaps

Is this getting renewed for this season?

I never completed Skyward Sword 100% so i decided to go back and have a go at it about 2 weeks ago after doing the same for Majora's Mask on the 3DS. Anyway, I played for an hour most evenings, took a couple of days off here and there, but i ended up finishing the game 100% tonight, the very same day of the Iwata news. I took this picture as the credits rolled as i thought it was very fitting... I've never been bothered by any other 'celebrity' death, but Iwata really did have a hand in almost all of my favourite games and I found myself welling up a little when I read the Twitter tributes coming through ;( They need to work out how to clone Miyamoto, I don't know what i'll do when he goes to the last level in the sky.
