This is First time i seen a villa side welll................. do nothing, was no fight, will to win etc etc no1 showed they wanted the ball........ Terrible terrible display and discouraging i voted delph cos no one else should have man of match and well.......................... bla bla bla could rant all night but everyone as covered it all allready.......................................... ffin terrible

i used to love playing for my old side with 5 at the back gave me licence to bomb forward from right back, hope that is the mentality, full backs bombing on tbh

is that you Mr Meldrew ?

and you can`t beat a bit of choclate rain in the morning

I think a defensive pairing of Clark-Dunne will do the the job. Dunne needs to stop Adebayor and Clark would stop probably VDV or who else starts there if VDV is injured. I have lost all my faith in Collins. He is a headless chicken constantly making last ditch tackles. Dunne has to constantly cover for Collins errors. I also think Petrov-Herd can shut down their midfield. I'd also put Bannan as the CAM in front of those two and tell Bannan he has is the creator and doesn't really need to focus on defense. Then the normal front three. Looks something like this:

----------------Bent------------------

--Agbonlahor------------N'Zogbia--

----------------Bannan--------------

---------Petrov-------Herd----------

-Warnock--Clark--Dunne--Hutton-

----------------Given-----------------

I'd also like to swap N'zogbia for Albrighton but McLeish won't do that. N'Zogbia has been shite so why not let Albrighton run at Assou-Ekotto. Also with all of Albrighton's failed crosses and poor attempts, he creates quality chances. The lad tries and has determination which we need. We can't just let Gabby create all the chances.

Someone try to tell me this isn't the best line-up we have. **** McLeish always messing up the starting XI and playing no tactics.

think herd will prob be picking up vdv cos vdv don`t play as a forward he floats around linking up

Cant see it being a different line up to the one that started v norwich tbh

Agree time is needed, I just do not believe in them - I would love to be proved wrong. I fully expect the sale of Bent and replaced by somebody like Morrison of Norwich and then perhaps one more reinforcement with the money raised. When what we need is to build a team around Benty, replace the older players - the four positions are replace Petrov, a right winger, a centre back to replace Collins and another striker who can play in and with Gabby and Bent. followed with the use of Gardner and other youngsters to supplement the whole squad and I think we'll be an exciting prospect.

I just cannot see it happening.

i wouldn`t get rid of petrov yet, he looks fitter under Mcleash and is playing well atm, am sure if he keeps this lvl up he has another 18 months left for us

one person who could of been a England legend was paul gascoigne, woulda loved to have seen more him in a England shirt he really was a big tournament player. In 1990 WC and Euro 96 he was outstanding. We never qualified in 94 and think is career sadly went downhill after 96

one of very few England players to play in 2 semi finals at majors. and was just an inch away from putting us through to WC final when he slid in at back post................ ooo if only he just reached it

i thought i was gonna see aload of talk about 2 elephants etc but this is all i see

i only played in goal once in real game, our goal Keeper got injured so i went in goal at HT. My first touch Ref blowed up gave a penalty has no 1 had informed him we had swapped keepers. i had allready decided to dive to my Right and went the right way to touch it around the post.

10 mins later they was awarded another penalty. They swapped takers so trying to psych him out i said " same place and just has easy please m8" And he did, hero me 2 pen saves within 10 mins. Dont remember score but remember the 3 free pints for MOTM

and we will rename the Trinity Road Stand the Gabriel Imuetinyan Agbonlahor Stand.

This would cost Randy too much in big plastic letters.

the amount of letters would fill the stand on thier own

8 players in that squad who have wore the villa shirt

s2e8 of breaking bad is pure genius

watched all 4 series within a week after seeing people saying it was good on here, i was hooked

watched Apollo 18 alien meets blair witch comes to mind, couldn`t get into it at all

My summary of Mcleash so far is i Expected him to sort out the defence b4 anything, you can see that defence is still work in progress but getting there. What has shocked me is that he seems to be working alot on getting the forwards working together with the wingers/midfield and we are starting to look dangerous in attack.

in last 2 games we have scored 5 but could have been 7 or 8 tbh

what a player he has become this season all 3 goals was his making Today ( Priceless for us)

looks like the set piece marking is ore sorted, looked man to man marking today which worked much better

Gabby star man,What a player he is becoming

I don't think Gabby would have necessarily left had Houllier stayed, nor would Cabaye have definitely joined. It's all hypothetical.

i think he would have http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11095_7179889,00.html

My point was that houllier staying may have seen someone as good as cabaye signed but it also would have seen gabby leave.

I'll take gabby still at this club over anyone houllier would have signed.

I doubt Cabaye signing for us depended on Gabby leaving, so this comparison doesn't really make sense.

It does to me cos gabby said he felt like leaving under houllier, even thinking of asking for a transfer

Does it mention anywhere in that article that the Cabaye transfer hinged on Gabby staying/leaving?

dunno not read through all the posts, just going on here on the op`s question and Gabby woulda went anyway if houllier had have still been here

so that question is irrelevant Gabby gone is owrse then losing any we have lost in last 2 years imo

A Few good things from that game, Nzog looked better, gabby looked class, Petrov what a goal,

Bad point is the defending at set pieces, I am sure Mcleash will get it right sooner rather than later with the defending, from what i made of the 2nd equaliser is that we are still doing Zonal marking( ala Last year) mark people up ffs it didn`t work last year and aint working this year.

ill be playing it on the pc, 32 v 32 sounds more fun

I watched Trespass the other night. good film dun wanna give too much away and spoil it but is a bit like Panic room, BUT Better

allso watched The River Murders.. good cast good Thriller even if a little predictable at times is well worth a look

If your looking for a comedy though steer clear of Crazy Stupid Love uter dross

Indias test batting

hmmmmm not really it puts every1 on same dps and just down to rotations now on thier dps/healing or tanking, makes the mediocre player better though. i play mage mostly and loved that all these fire/frost specced mages pre Cata couldn`t get the spec right in the arc/frost tree and failed at dps. now everyfrigging one in pve is arcane, and all frost in pvp, so to make People go back to fire they are increasing damage loads for fire in 4.3.

IN Short:some people had no idea how to spec b4 Cata, It made it much easier to sort out the dead wood when they applied to our guild

LoL guess i am one of them elitist jerks

The blizzcon trailer for Diablo 3 was amazing.. they should start making movies if thats the quality of thier fmv.

It may be pandas but blizz has promised all out war of Horde v Alliance,,,, this could be real fun )

I really think they done a good job with Catalysm. i packed in after being hacked in wolk , I was a 4/5 night a week raider since 2006.

I came back about a month ago and moved servers to play with 4 or 5 rlf. We are not in a big guild who raids but i love that in 4.3 i can get in a cross realm raid with the new raid tool being implimented. allso getting in a dungeon group is easy with the new finder.

I think some of you who have left would be plesently surprised with wow changes.

My only gripe is the new talent system, its been designed for the noob who didnt have a clue. making it near impossible to be badly specced
