  1. Lots of stories on Arsenal doing some business with Giroud needing cover. Arsene will Probably get two attacking midfielders in
  2. Might be a team that actually gives a f*** for once. Need to become more than the sum of their parts i.e a team. Havnt felt im watching a team of England players who all care and want to play together since about 96. Which has coincided with even average footballers becoming millionaires and celebrities, atleast before you had to be a Best, Pele, Beckenbauer, Cruyff to be world renowned and live a life of luxury, just look at how Balotelli was treated on his arrival to Liverpool and the money that Shaw is on. There is no prestige in playing for England any more, so maybe the "average" English players might show us something we havnt seen for a while. Could be talking bollocks but we mention Chile & Columbia a lot, teams full of players who grew up with nothing and in relation to the Premier league still earning nothing, yet they show a passion and fight and maybe an anger at not being considered on the same level and we like to watch that.
  3. This is how I see us by the end of the season once Grealish has some more experience. Westwood in if we dont sign Cleverley. Looks stronger on paper and so far performing stronger even if after two games with some of these guys missing
  4. ..but both those players are shite. Redmond isnt, in fact hes rated very highly and had a good season last season

    Liverpool

    Neither did Ibrahimovic at Balotelli's age. Yes he did. Funny then that he only scored 7 goals in the 05-06 season and has since credited Mourinho (and Mellberg) for his massive change in attitude. Well as Mourinho only spent one season with him 2008-2009 I dont think he can be given credit, He had already score 32 in 53 league games for Inter Milan before Jose arrived and then scored another 25 in 35. Ibrahimovic was already world class IMO by 2006 when he was 24. I think its far more likely Balotelli will be remembered like Adebayor will be, so so capable bordering on unplayable when he can be arsed and then absolutely terrible when he cant. I hope Im wrong, I want to see Balotelli perform just for the pure enjoyment of watching him.
  6. I think they need Vidal, Khedira & Hummels to get back to where they need to be. Have no idea why LVG continues with that shocking formation with the current players available to him. Can't see Champions league for them this season either.
  7. Contrary to what some of the doom mongers will say, that was a good result. Defence steady but lacking in attack. Newcastle will score some goals this season but equally I think we didnt exploit the massive spaces they left due to Weimann and Gabby playing like children. Everyone but the strikers had a good game, Delph grew into it, good to have Sanchez who can win some headers and be a force. Nzogbia still inconsistent but dangerous. Defence and full backs played very well again. Richardson and Westwood good at occupying space and keeping Newcastle at bay certainly in the first half. Lamber & Keane watch: No fights in two games, disappointing.
  8. Think Richardson has been alright, he's doing a job of just being In space that Newcastle want to use. Won't sub at half time but cole and bent for Weimann and gabby at around 65 and Sanchez for Richardson at 75
  9. Hutton playing very well. Were lacking in decision maki gin the last 3rd, Weimann and Gabby the main culprits with Nzogbia playing his part
  10. Can we start to campaign to get Lambert to grow a beard
  11. Think our new CEO just got called Paul Fox on BT
  12. Got two bets running for today £10 on both Brentford Middlesbrough Barnsley Yeovil Cambridge Wimbledone 22-1 All both team to score Swansea v Burnley Blackburn v Bournemouth Colchester v Doncaster Northampton v Shrewsbury 9-1
  13. My heart says 2-1 Villa Delph to notch My head says 2-1 Newcastle. Hope Cabella dosnt have a stormer
  14. I think its great that we have got someone with a great reputation in the sporting world, all be it on the finance side. He seems to be renowned for his knowledge as much as his Puma deal. Ive literally got no idea what impact this will have on us. We are not going to suddenly have loads of money to spend or get a load of new sponsors. Its not going to make our team better right now. Cant even tell if it will mean we will be more organised as a football club in terms of structure, signings or appointments. Obviously we just hope that with his respected reputation we are going to turn into some sort of wonderkid signing, financially prolific, self sustaining monster. Its just good to be rid of someone that we considered to be part of the problem in the decline of Aston Villa over the last 4 years.
  15. Only if we are shout BOUMA when he scores a goal
  16. Di Maria & Khedira have said they want to leave Real Madrid, coincidence I think not..........
  17. Hull seem to be swapping Shane Long for Jordan Rhodes, what great business that will be even if Rhodes is unproven in the Prem
  18. I will definately be getting Assasins Creed: Unity, Far Cry 4, GTA 5, Shadow of Mordor and I might get Minecraft. It should be enough to get me through the winter. The division, Tomb Raider & The order are the only games after that that tickle my fancy.
  19. I would play a 4-1-3-2 Sanchez coming in as defensive mid in front of the human wall, nzogbia, Delph, Westwood in the 3 and bent and Weimann up top. Cabella will take some stopping if his debut is anything to go by.
  20. My friendly match kicking off at 12.30 rather than 10.30. I didn't go out last not so I'm not hungover and therefore get no benefit from a later kick off
  21. 27 pts with Fabregas, Clichy, Sterling & Costa (captain) to play I've got Barkley in as well
  22. Still really pleased with the win, it was my first thought when I woke up this morning and this post is the first thing I'm doing. But I'm pissed off that our winner during a really good performance came from an incredibly terrible first touch from a professional footballer. It was so bad from Weimann and it's not the first time I've seen him do it. Him and Gabby will be gone from the team when everyone is fit.
