Lichfield Dean

You keep on putting the media in their place Tony! Their job is to tell us the news, not make stuff up. I am really pleased to see somebody in your position prepared to stand up to them.

Brilliant

So, saw two sides to him tonight. On the one hand he is quick and good on the ball and has a good eye for goal. On the other, he doesn't seem to have a good awareness of other players and often failed to see the right pass. Talented but frustrating.

Yeah I am at the game and he is pretty much running our entire attack. Everything is going through him.

What has got him so upset that he is now asking Villa fans to boo somebody, even though nobody knows who or why?

Seems like a marked difference between first and second half performances. I guess RDM will be learning a lot here.

No contract for Petrov according to the avfc twitter. Presumably no more friendlies for him either?

Attack sounds  interesting.

That defence though... Hmmm

Did you see the size of Tony's dinner table? 

I suspect he spent all his money ON the table

Alternatively, maybe they have some grand notion of becoming the new Red Bull? Bit of a crowded market to get into, but I suppose an energy drink marketed in tandem with a (hopefully) Premier League club would get a lot of exposure worldwide.

FFP?

Been really enjoying his twittering this afternoon until that idiot went and ruined it. He has said some really genuinely nice things.

£42!!!!! What????!?!!!

Would rather keep Veretout myself. Saw very little from Gana other than blocking and interceptions (which he then almost invariably gave straight back to the opposition)

We've got Gollini in our goal

(This could probably be sung to many tunes, but I reckon to 'Whole World In His Hands')

Shearer: "he was just trying to protect his face" 

No, Alan, he punched the ball. Like a goalkeeper.

Three excellent goals from Wales.

Wow

Wow. I am astonished. Poor poor Southampton. I guess they just have to hope he has no actual say in anything important. At all.

And there I was thinking they were a smart club that always made shrewd appointments.

Has anybody reproduced the example calculation whereby doubling a £500 fine results in a £1000 fine? I won't rest easy until we have validated this.

'The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make' said John Connor. Unfortunately, our future is made by the Daily Mail it seems.

Brady has been very good this game IMO - unlucky some of his first half deliveries weren't converted. And a good finish.

Dreadful refereeing. Italy getting every decision.

Wow Iceland! Amazing.
