I have a spare for this in the Villa end as my mate has dropped out. Selling at face value £37. e-mail me at richbrown28@gmail.com if you're interested.

I think sometimes he holds the team together and is exactly what we need. Other times he is too slow and we sacrifice a lot accomodating him in the side. He is an enigma to me and many others judging by the poll results.

He needs to contribute more. It's all well and good making a few decent passes, interceptions, tackles, tracking your man etc. But that is bread and butter for a Prem player. What is he contributing to the team on top of that, he doesn't create many chances, doesn't score goals, doesn't have an imposing prescence on the pitch. I like him, he's got a good attitude and is a good player, but does he have any other strings to his bow to make him a long term prospect in the middle of the park for a top half Prem side.

^ Fortunately that didn't happen. Draft tonight. Irving is probably going to be first pick. Really hope the CBA gets sorted soon.

Ancelotti's odds dropping on the overnight betting.

I'm convinced RL has flown out to meet Carlo in Corsica. It adds up with the rumours going round.

Ancelotti.... Backtracking - check Corsica - check Gobsmacked - check edit- would also apply to Benitez up to a point.

I'm happy with Coyle.

Heat are gonna sweep the Mavs. Lebron will feel vindicated, basketball fans will pray for a lockout so as not to see his smug expression in 11/12.

You gotta hand it to him. Heat being in the ECF justifies to some extent his 'decision', and the scenes at the end of game 5 were awesome. Heat - Mavs finals anyone?

OKC - Memphis game 4 was crazy. 3OT!

Wow, what a way for Phil Jackson to end his coaching career.

That Rose 44 points is his highest ever points total. Real test will be whether he can be as effective in the ECF. And the Lakers are all but out 3-0 down to the Mavs. Pau had another shocker for the most part and generally the Lakers looked like they just don't want it as much as the Mavs. Looking forward to both games today. The way the playoffs are going the championship could be anyone's this year.
