great news!

This, bluemoon is full of "dissapointed at milner" posts, shame because his a really good player just being wasted at city, doesn't help his being played on the wing.

This will sell out i reckon

Apparently express and star are reporting we are going to bid £7m for him ... No thanks anyway.

This. But i dont know.. i do think Houllier is good at convincing to be honest.. i'm not saying we could have him for certain if we wanted but there is a decent chance if the board backed him with the right funds i feel. Benzema is 22 quite young to be honest still has plenty of years left in him therefore i do think he'll goto bigger/higher clubs as stated before.

He has been crap for them i agree..would i like him here? I don't know...not sure. edit : he'll cost alot regardless though.

Santa Cruz wants out.. http://tinyurl.com/3ad5cj7

Sidwell is playing tomorrow.. confirmed by houllier himself.

It's on SPORT TV on sunday (foreign channel) FUTEBOL - PREMIER LEAGUE (ASTON VILLA X BIRMINGHAM) not available on sky etc but there will be plenty of streams around for this because SPORT TV is quite the big channel.

its been pissing it down all day today .. is it like like this tomorrow?

Why would Dunne miss the game? I'd prefer it if he was on the bench yeah but he won't miss the game due to injury or anything. Why would Heskey miss the game? his fit and can play was at training yesterday. Rest of the names mentioned are injured (if you mean Luke Young)

^ I think so - most likely yeah as i think his suspended for the LC game not for PL? Oh and attendance i read somewhere was 30,000 expected apparently? if so really happy with that figure considering 18,000 turned up for the blackburn game UTV

Here's an interesting question if you had to either win this match or sha over the weekend... what would it be?

It's a good demo, doesn't give too much away there are still plenty of features on this that we can't use and you cant progress after certain amount of matches but you get the idea of the new training arrangements, new contracts/agents etc.. cant wait for the full game.

I've been playing as Paris Saint Germain and they have some really nice youngsters in that team.. There's like a 15/16 year old who i've got playing in first team, very good player. He was 15 when i put him in and now his 16 his got a professional contract. There's like 9 players from the U18/U19 squad that are already amazing, Infact I doubt i need to buy any players at all. Hoarau is smashing them in aswell on my game. It's like the French Aston Villa

Warnock is apparently suspended according to Houllier (SSN interview)

This.. I hope we win this match.

More or less I feel the same way. Silva has played his best on the left this last match. Hopefully Mancini allows Silva to play left wing and puts Milner in the middle behind Tevez. I don't see why we bought him if it's going to be a constant struggle to turn him into a natural winger. I do to weaken us simple as.

It would be even nicer if we could have James Milner back. Nah, as much as i miss him i wouldn't have him back nor barry for that matter... they leave, thats it.

Hasn't bought anything special yet, had a couple of games where he has shown the ability but nothing out the ordinary... quite saddened by it to be honest but its still early days i guess.

Totally forget tbh Downing 7 - made that excellent run in the penalty area and just hit the side netting i think it was, made some good runs and passes but was left rather alone again passing wise.. players just didnt move into free positions and just stood there marked, another key area which needs sorting. Beye 7 - Very good i thought, didn't have any hope for him when the match started but went past a couple of the players and made some good passes and tackles.. perhaps he isnt as bad as people think (like i thought)

Ratings : Friedel 8 - made some good saves, couldn't do much about that dunne goal. Sidwell 7 - Came on and i thought was good, did make some really good tackles but also some bad tackles Warnock 6 - started off really terrible, came into the game a bit at the end Ireland 6 - was dissapointed to be honest, do have high hopes for him but i dont know.. Reo Coker 8 - was probably the best player on the pitch today Ashley Young 6 - Fairly quiet, poor free kicks/corners wasn't his fault was marked like mad Heskey 7 - tried hard, thought he'll do well with someone partnering up with him.. doesn't work well alone. Petrov 5 - was decent whilst he was on.. didn't do anything out the ordinary. Albrighton 7 - joint with NRC performance for me. Purposely left Dunne out, made that good block at the end according to the match thread never saw it myself as i had switched it off already, but that own goal did blow the tactics and players mentality out the water. We need a top striker and for the love of god need to win that league cup match. Personally i wish Fonz was on the bench and would've bought him on second half - Fonz and Heskey probably would've worked imo who knows.

Was a bad match i agree.. i really hope we win in the league Cup match against burnley that's the only thing stopping me from going insane (staying in the cup competition) We really need a top striker like REALLY need it now.
