To those who were talking about invictus it is a great film, very good infact.. one of the better films I had enjoyed that year for me imo.. easily in my top 5.

Not factually accurate though. They left out the fact that the AB's were intentionally poisoned before the final.

That isn't just Kiwi sour grapes either as Clint Eastwood said when asked about it. Mandelas head of security was convinced of it and a private detective found a far-eastern betting syndicate had paid a hotel waitress to spike their coffee.

I was 12 rows back near corner flag and had a great view.

Any thread with Fat Sam in the title should be insta-locked.

Says the man who wants Houllier .. If we had Fat Sam from the start of the season we wouldn't be where we are now. shit football his teams play, but atleast he can set his teams up to be motivtated, he can get to do a thing called defend and he makes his teams very hard to beat..

What happened at Newcastle? Do you have selective memory?

Allardyce?

About to have a late night Starship Troopers session. Splendily daft entertainment, with Denise Richards (and Neil Patrick Harris!!) to boot.

Costs about £3 in HMV too, buy it and enjoy it if you haven't already.

No fooling, Starship Troopers is THE best American Imperialism satire out there.

Paul Verhoeven will always be one of my favourite directors.

Robocop - Brilliant

Total Recall - Awesome

Starship Troopers - Genius

Showgirls - ehh... no comment

Watched Inception last night. Not the easiest tofollow but a decent film.

Been leant the film Milk too. Is it worth watching?

Started watching Inception last week, switched it off after about 45mins thought it was dire.

I watched it all the way through but I just don't get where the high praise comes from. I watch a lot of films and mark them all on IMDB. No way is this more than a seven.

People are easily blinded by hype it seems.

Joan Rivers on Charlie Sheen:

"All this Charlie Sheen news reminds me of seeing “Inception.” I have no idea what the hell is going on, but can't wait to see how it ends."

What if he finishes higher in his first season than MON? Niether had much of a preseason and both want/ed to stamp there own style of play on the team. Houllier is probably not use to so many kick-and-rush cloggers in a squad.

Houllier For The Win!

Everton finished 17th under Moyes, lost Rooney yet came 4th the next season.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water and let Houllier build a winning team.

And? What kind of logic is that? Talk sense.

Kicking out the manager on the basis of an incomplete season without time to build a team that plays his way is just plain stupid.

Better?

Pretty much. It must be my Kiwi accent.

Houllier For The Win!

Everton finished 17th under Moyes, lost Rooney yet came 4th the next season.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water and let Houllier build a winning team.

My prediction of two years ago that Villa would never win a cup with Petrov as captain looks pretty safe.

I'm liking the posession football but we have a CM with no drive in Petrov, a striker with no brains and Heskey who is the weakest target man i've ever seen.

Sound like a modern version of Wizard of Oz

Petrov n Gab need to come off

I said pre-Blackburn that if Petrov played in that match we would've been lucky to get a draw. I believe this to be true.

Petrov's finished and I don't ever want to see him in a Villa shirt again. Gabby being played out on the left wing hasn't been the problem. He has lost his pace, has no brain or touch and is shit. If someone came in for him I'd fly over to Birmingham, buy a car and drive him myself.

Houllier made a fantastic decision dropping Petrov and Gabby against Blackburn. They should of stayed dropped.

When you put out a dross team what do you expect?

I've seen

Friedel

Dunne

Clark

Delph

Bannan

Bradley

Petrov

Gabby

Heskey

All mentioned in recent weeks as players who should start,it's only Herd and Fonz you don't see regularly 'he should play...'...and even then, we know what the Fonz can do.

Hardly a 'dross team'....

I know! Waaa waaa waaa Bannan must play. Waaa waaa waaa why doesn't Fonz get a chance. Then they do and everyones complaining the team is weak.

Petrov shouldn't be playing but.

It's only 1-0 ffs. 80 mins to get an equaliser and force a replay at the least. Cheer the **** up.

Petrov not a good choice to start IMO, obviously

Houllier is in charge now. We are no longer limited to signing players from British Isles teams.

Born to Fight

Some great play from Downing last few minuets.

I know. He's so graceful it does resemble dancing the waltz.

We're missing someone in midfield to slow the ball down and pass backwards. Ha! Just kidding.

So what if he isn't as good in the tackle as NRC, he's a better passer than Petrov, moves the ball forwards more than Petrov. His passing is faster, shorter and better thought out than Petrovs and he doesn't try and slow down the game and always try and draw fouls from the opposition like Petrov. Yes he's Black. Doesn't mean he has to be a replacement for NRC.

Was it a II-footed tackle or a deux-footed tackle?

I never thought that Ireland's performances were as bad as Houllier and others made them out to be. I remember him playing against Chelsea and Bolton earlier in the season. He had great chances in both those games, and if he had scored just one of those I think he would be a regular starter in the first team by now. The idea of a Makoun, Bradley and Ireland midfield sounds great to me, with Bannan to understudy Ireland, Delph to understudy Makoun and Hogg to understudy Bradley.

When we're conceding as many as we are you can't afford someone who does as little defensive work as Ireland in midfield.

oh dear gabby your not a prem player are you give it time we'll see you at leicester or walsall

Worst post of the day award goes to..... scottyav

He is putting in a shift for the team in the position his manager asks. He isn't a winger and it is Hou's fault for not doing something about it.

He cant do the simple things right. He was an average footballer with pace and now thats gone.
