Weimann MOTM for me. Instrumental in getting us back in it. Benteke looking better but still a way from his best I think!

Here are a few more pictures, basically the same but taken by a club photographer

How the hell was that a foul against Benteke? He just stood still?

Had to be a pen. He touches the ball. But took gabbys foot out first

Gabby is awesome!

I wasn't sure if there was going to be a plaque from last year on it or not, but there isn't.

I will see if I can get some arranged

Hi,

For those of you who don't know, I was Pat's cousin and had the honour of presenting the trophy to Stephen Ireland last year.

First of all, I speak for the whole family when I say, we have defiantly not lost interest. Quite the opposite, we would be terribly upset if the trophy didn't get presented this year.

As far as organising for it to be presented this year, that is down to the moderators here at Villa Talk. I know those involved have been caught up in some personal things and I have offered to take over the process in the past. I will once again say though, if there is anything I can do to ensure this happens please let me know. I'm happy to pick up the whole thing, just let me know.

As for the current trophy location, it is with the club. Although we presented it to Stephen, he was asked to leave it in the clubs possession. I believe it has been on display somewhere, but I am not sure where.

Thanks to all of you who have stayed interested and involved. Really means a lot

Hopefully speak to you soon with some news regarding this,

Mark

My sisters friend is in Vegas and had his photo with Benteke. Not sure if its the same one as on twitter as not seen that.

He was out with Samir Nasari at the time, has that been mentioned? Hope he wasn't tapping him up for a man city move!

I have a ps3 at the moment and will probably upgrade to a ps4 or Xbox one at somepoint. I am not a massive gamer though, the only reason I went for ps3 was blu ray. Now that they both have that I think which one has the better media capabilities will appeal to me as the only games I really play tend to be released on both anyway.

I didn't see the launch video but it seems to have gone down pretty badly from what I can tell.

Aparantly sony's stock price has gone up following it, which can't have been what Microsoft had in mind!

As long as he is still here to accept it pre-season!

Pre-season I believe

Is anyone interested in a fantasy F1 league. I use Castrol Edge one (advertised on autosport) it's really good. Just have to select top 10, pole position, fastest lap and most positions gained each race.

I can create a league and post the code. Most people are going to miss the first weekend (have to have done it by qually) but it won't matter too much over the whole season

I can't see me ever wanting to ring up a number to listen to a match. Would much rather find a video stream

How can I post pics using safari in iOS, or short links?

Anyone know if its possible? I have tried using mobile and main site, but editing options don't appear

Thanks

Interview on SSN in a min

I got stuck in one in a hotel in Bristol last year. Not for that long but the lift was really full so got really hot.

It was a pretty modern lift so it tries to re-align itself with a floor when it fails. This involves it dropping suddenly in small increments. A great feature I’m sure, but if you don’t know what’s happening it sure does make you feel like you’re about to plummet to the bottom!

Anyway that along with a few other disastrous things during my stay there got me a free night there to use next time so all in all not too bad!

Clicky

That is the fifth parrot photo with a very crude levels adjustment

Thanks very much for that, I get the idea now!

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me out with a bit of advice please.

I got a new camera a few months ago and I am pretty please with it and I am slowly getting used to all the modes and settings and things.

One thing I am struggling with though is selecting which of my pictures to keep when I have lots of the same. I have uploaded 7 photos I took of a parrot the other day to SkyDrive here.

All of these are pretty much the same so obviously I don’t want to keep them all, but I find it hard to narrow them down and see which is the ‘better’ photo.

These are all straight from the camera, I guess the whole selection process gets even harder if I look at each one to see if it would be better than the others if I enhanced or cropped it.

Thanks

Just be brutal man, you can get a cool photograph out of all of those files, try 2, 3, and 6. Boost the levels, contrast and add a spot of sharpening and you'll be sound.

Thanks for the reply. I'm a complete photoshop novice... So what exactly does boosting the levels mean?! Cheers

Has the commentator on sky really just had the cheek to suggest that we taught Young to dive???!!!

I noticed that too. It was almost like: you taught him to dive so it's fair enough that he uses it against you!

Is anyone else noticing loads of lagging in the game? I got a pretty good connection and Black ops was running really smooth but this just isn't.

I walk round a corner and by the time I see him I am dead. If I watch his kill cam back it looks like I walk out and just stand there while he empties a whole mag into me.

I have read somewhere that they try and compensate by slowing down people with faster connections, feels like they got it wrong to me!

I hope his family gets to see this thread.

Don't worry I have passed on all the messages to Pat's mum and dad. Thank you again for all of your kind words. Pat truly was an incredible person and that is reflected by the amount of people his passing has affected.
