I have seen comments in the Philadelphia game thread that at least a couple of others would like the "spoilers" of having the score shown in the links to the game videos removed. So if like me you would rather be able to watch the games without knowing the score please send them a message. Hopefully they might then change it. Below is the message I have sent Could you please avoid putting the score on the links to the full game footage. I think the majority would much rather watch the games without knowing the score. If fans want to know the score they can still read about it in the news section and match report articles. I don't believe it would reduce the experience for anyone by making this change. Reading comments on villa forums I'm not alone in this. Thanks Martyn Send your message here - AVTV Contact US

I would like to see him given that chance, with first team regulars around him too, not just when we decide to throw the towel in a play a full reserve side as we have in the various cups in the last few years. Get him alongside Bent and I'd like to see Delph with Reo Coker. I seem to remember when we played Blackburn in the FA cup and we had both Delfounseo and Delph on. We played some great stuff until Delph had to go off at half time as he had some sort of bug.

Its 11 starts for Villa according to a racing post website, which has the game by game detail and should be pretty reliable http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=49704&season_id=140 (Sorry forgotten how to do short links!) So his record is: League: 2 starts / 22 sub / 2 goals FA Cup: 6 starts / 2 subs / 4 goals League Cup: 3 subs / 0 goals Other: 3 starts / 3 subs / 2 goals I think it would be somewhat premature to write off a 20 year old with that record just because he hasn't secured a regular first team starting place. Based on the little I saw of Burnley I am not surprised he didn't score many. They looked like a poor footballing team to me on the all be it limited amount I have seen of them this year. I would like to see him given a few games alongside Bent in pre-season. He hasn't 100% convinced me yet, but I think he probably has more potential than any of the others in that group that have broken through. Whether he fulfills it only time will tell, but definitely too early to be writing him off for me.

Delfouneso 'I bang in the goals' has got 2 in 15 appearances this season... Any other stories to tell about any other players? Or to put a different spin on it: Delfouneso Stats League: Starts 2 - Goals 2 (Although 1 of the goals was presumably v Pompey as a sub - that is the only goal I can remember him ever scoring as a sub) FA Cup: Starts 5 - Goals 4 Other: Starts 3 - Goals 2 (Europa cup I presume?) Pretty impressive record. He isn't the finished article and is sometimes frustrating, but there is a hell of alot of potential in the lad. I would like to see him playing off Bent at some point - in the Ashley Young role effectively. Scored with a very good downward header today too!
