Namaste

no great shock To be fair, it's been a while Saha out definitely?

NEWSFLASH: After 66 minutes not a shot on target by Villa. WOW!

I personally thought Milner and Cuellar were up there with Collins as our top performers Fair enough, Milner always puts in a good shift. I think Cuellar is very limited at RB though and would prefer to see a more natural player there such as Beye or obviously L. Young. I still say Collins stood out which unfortuantely does not say too much. A. Young upset me once again due to his predicatble work with the ball and his insistence to cross too long, out of play or into the goalkeepers hands. However I understand he did do something very good in the build-up to the goal.

Those saying Albrighton and L. Young to start is a little premature in my opinion. We need to win this. I'd strengthen the team with the inclusion of NRC, Emile and Beye - --------------Guzan----------------- Beye----Dunne---Collins----Warnock Milner----NRC---Petrov----A.Young --------Emile----Agbonlahor------ I feel Beye is better at getting forward than Carlos and away from home we are set up better with him included.

Yep, lacking creativity unfortunately. At least we got a point though. Not much else to say really... Collins made some timely interceptions again. He was the only one who stood out for me I'm afraid!

'granville', you are correct Machida controlled the pace of the fight to suit his style. Some of you do not seem to understand the concept of the challenger having to beat the champion. :winkold: Was Machida ever in severe trouble? No, apart from the leg kicks Shogun hit him once in the face. In contrast Machida answered practically every leg kick with a straight lead left to the face and on many occasions actually retaliating with a 1-2 combo. There were two occasions where Machida actually had Shogun in trouble covering up on the fence; Shogun never once went for Machida. Machida had his gameplan which was founded upon elusiveness and not recklessness like the majority of many other pro-fights. Shogun was very reserved because he knew of Machida's countering strengths, if Shogun had over-comitted then he would have got knoocked out!

Everton have some tough fixtures coming up, hopefully Villa playing them before their next Europa match might help us? We really need another away win.

Haven't seen much of Rua but Lyoto Machida has been so impressive.

Rated #46 in imdb's all time greatest movies and one I really must get around to seeing. absolutely magical movie i love it Soundtrack is excellant too. Yann Tiersen is a musician all should know.

Stay, of course.

So should we play the same team? Or drop Carew and maybe give Delph a chance to shine, this could be a good game for him?

Big Trouble In Little China... some great lines: Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."

Quite it does make you think. I do feel sorry for Treadwell though; I know he meant well but I'm not sure what he was trying to achieve? A troubled soul no doubt.

When I was a youngster (I think about ten yrs old) my Uncle was Head Chef at Buckingham Palace and one day my parents and I visited him in London. Later on we went to the palace...so there we were walking about the palace quite freely but at one point I remember hearing footsteps around the corner of a part we were not supposed to be in so we were literally running around trying to not get caught. We actually have photographs of us looking out at the gates of the people looking in which is rather cool.

'The Big Lebowski' is an excellant movie: "Nobody f**** with the Jesus". Saw this the other night - Shocking, thought-provoking and an ethical treatise on human understanding if you like documentary movies.
