Fabian who?

Drivers flashing their hazards whenever approaching a queue in the road. **** sake I can see ahead of your car pal I'm not sitting here staring at your rear end.

I went to the driving range today after work, wearing my jeans but it was that hot I ended up taking them off and hitting golf balls in my pants. Didn't hit a bad ball all afternoon, which pissed me off.

Maybe he was just tired?

Aside from Benteke, I reckon Milner was the best player Villa have had on their books in the last 6 or so years. Man City are losing one of their most consistent players and will struggle to replace him, just as we did when he left.

I hope he gets the chance to play regularly through the middle where he belongs.

There is no way I'll be watching that thanks.

£14k isn't enough but i reckon could do both simultaneously.

Please see the above for my CV.

Saw Lucy over the weekend, interesting enough, bit daft but enjoyable. Solid 7/10

Got around to watching Locke. Was disappointed. As someone mentioned Hardy's accent gets in the way and I couldn't quite connect with his ordeal. 4/10

Must watch Locke...

He is neither a free man, nor has he completed his sentence. He is out of prison under licence and will serve the remainder of his sentence under probation. Nobody is denying him his right to work, only his right to continue playing professional football. Maybe he should start thinking about an alternative career?

Isle of Wight is mentioned in When I'm 64

Haha its amazing what you can find when you look. Been using the villatalk app up until last week always thought it was shit.

Tapatalk now installed. Works much better.

Why would you use something "shit"?

Probably for the same reason I support Villa and drive a Renault?

but it's much easier to not use an app. Especially when the mobile skin works well.

Never seen 2001 space odyssey really need to get round to it.

Was Titanic ever highly rated? I guess so, and it's shit.

Any team with Henderson & Gerrard is too static and therefore, wank.

Henderson is static?

Not necessarily, but his limited range of passing can cause the team to become static.

Wouldn't they be better off searching the area with submarines rather than planes?

I can't say I wonder this often, just since I found one last night, but how could a Quarter Dollar from 1939 be worth? It's very worn, but still.

I'm gonna guess about 25 cents?

I woke up so I got out of bed. Might treat myself to a bowl of coco pops then go back to bed.

I spent an hour listening to a conversation today about structural steel

Ever heard about Murphy's Law? This year United have seen a domino effect of unfortunate events, which IMO was very likely to happen when Ferguson left the building. On top of that, injuries have piled up for many of their best players. Not just in defense like I will argue, but also in midfield and up top. Van Persie has played 1050 minutes, Vidic and Carrick have missed 9 games.  

 

You and your statistics, why do you even follow football when everything is about numbers? It's like you want everything to follow an algorithm and then the best team will always win no matter what. This is not FM or FIFA, a machine does not determine every game, coincidence or outcome. Man Utd did not have the best squad last season, but they won the title by 11 points. This year they have the exact same team except for Januzaj, Fellaini and now Juan Mata. Sure the defenders have become one year older, but that is just part of the problem. It goes without saying that a team that wins the league can challenge the next season if everyone is there. The players have aged a few months from May to August, but you get my point. What has changed United is the transition from a historic manager to a new one as well as injuries. Some years injuries reach impossible numbers and it's quite random who gets them.

 

Rio Ferdinand played 2322 minutes last season and this year he has only played 630. He is old and over the top of course, but still a better defender than most when fit. Nemanja Vidic has been one of the best defenders in Europe for many years, but this season he has only played 1305 minutes due to injuries and suspension. He is "only" 32 years and their natural leader, it goes without saying that him out is a big blow. John Terry (33) played 950 minutes last season and he is Chelsea's Vidic basically, this year he has completed every single minute of every single game they have played in the league. This gives stability and leadership whenever they play, which we all know is the most important thing in putting together a defensive unit. Gary Cahill has virtually played every single game as well, except for when he has been rested for David Luiz. Chelsea have the best defense in terms of letting in goals this season, but it's not like their roster is that much better than United IMO. Jonny Evans is underrated but very solid. He goes under the radar just like Michael Carrick did for many years, but he too has been injured at the same time as Vidic. Against Stoke they had to pull out both Evans and Jones and put Carrick at the back because Vidic was suspended. Evra has been present for most games and he holds a high level still, even though this might be his last season. Rafael, the undisputed first choice at right back has been injured for most of the season and has only completed 899 minutes out of a possible 2160.

 

Now I am not glorifying their team too much, we all know they need major change. But this is not new. Every club has to change a few players now and again, just like Chelsea have to do with Terry and Cole in due time. Behind Terry you have Cahill and Luiz, who is virtually a defensive midfielder due to his erratic style. A long-term injury to Terry or Cahill would have wrecked Chelsea's season before it even started - but they have been lucky. United have not. Had Vidic stayed free of injuries alongside Evans it would have looked much better, you cannot prove their defensive faults when their best players aren't even playing. Injuries are part of the game and you can of course argue the fact that United have many players with a history with injuries. You can and must sustain one long-term injury to one of your players in a worst-case scenario, the best teams plan for that kind of thing, but when Rafael and Vidic are out all the time they have to change around and they never get the stability. You argue that they have to buy a whole new squad, but that isn't necessarily the biggest problem in the world. They have the money and they can guarantee a place in the XI for many players wanting to play for them. The best players don't always have to spend six months getting used to a new league, at least not in defense. With Rafael, Jones, Evans and Smalling they have young players with a lot of versatility, in other words great backup players for even better players. People forget that Jones is even younger than Nathan Baker, he has 9 games for England at 21 years of age and he is going to play as a central defender for many, many years to come. When Jose Mourinho took over Chelsea, he got in Petr Cech, Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Carvalho in one summer, the next year they finished with 95 points and shipped in 15 goals.

 

The "huge" transformation you are mentioning isn't quite that big if you know who to bring in, it can be solved in two weeks. The problem is of course David Moyes, does he have the nous to pull it off? He wanted Cesc Fabregas, Ander Herrera and other top players, and he got Juan Mata, so who knows. It's not like they are bringing in Sylvain Distin. I wouldn't be very surprised if United went after someone like Mats Hummels in the summer, and who would complain if Vidic was replaced by him? Depends to be seen, first they have to reach 4th spot in the league and to do that they need Vidic back for most of their games. United will bring in a defensive midfielder in the summer for sure, a player needed to give the defense some more protection. I think you underestimate the power of money and the force United have in the market to bring in new players to patch things up quickly. Just like Chelsea; when John Terry and Ashley Cole are throwing in the towel you know Mourinho is going to fix that problem in no time with new top-class players. Azpilicueta and Cole have pretty much played the same amount of time this season, but I doubt the former will be first choice when Cole quits and they have to bring in another play

I couldn't care if its a public or private account, it's a disgrace that an adult is forced to apologise for posting a video of taking a drink. Let's board up the windows of pubs so people can't see what's going on inside.
