I'm up for it. It was pretty good fun last time until the number dropped off. Am I still the VT Poker reigning Champion

Where you playing live Stevo. I had a pretty similar knock out during my one and only time I played at a Casino. Travelled to Aberdeen on business and was left with nothing to do until I saw an advert for live Poker at the Casino just up the road from the hotel I was staying in. Turned out to be a £25 tournament ended up with about 40/50 people. I played pretty tight and had got myself into a reasonable position, I was about 10th with about 20 left. Got dealt KK in the big blind can't quite remember how the hand played out but I ended up all in against a women who had been showing cards all night and was clearly proud of her bluffing skills. All in came after flop which was rainbow 2 8 J so nothing at all scarey for my KK. She turned over A7 Spades and hit 7 on the turn and unbelievably another 7 on the river. Man I was gutted - in the land of the Scotsmen and displayed the true virtues of an English gentleman's stiff upper lip

Monday / Wednesday are best for me but obviously you will have to arrange it on a day that suit most

When is the next game scheduled for

I'll be in but wont be able to register until after 8pm. Is it the same registration process

Sorry guys didnt get back home til 1030 so obviously missed out, I'm certain I'd have thrashed Coracaigh Are you going to run another one

Glad to see this come back. We have a few games on Full Tilt a couple of years ago. We even had a Villa v Sheff Wed game but I think we got battered. Hope its something that you can keep going it seemed to fizszle out last time. I would like to join but not sure if I'll be back in time on Thursday. What is the lastest time I can join

Dwight Yorke' at Coventry has to be the quickest - I'll always remember this cuz it was my wedding day. I got the master of ceremony to keep me informed (as my wife was expecting my full attention to be on our wedding day ) So when he came to me so early I thought he was winding me up I had no alterative but to enter conversation with him much to my wifes discussed. 'Can't you leave that bloody club alone for just one day' Start as you mean to go on that was always my motto

Last night he he looked as sharp as I've seen him this season until his injury. The change to 3 5 2 is surely with a view to adding width and creating the opportunities we have been crying out for. Benteke with his strength and Bent with his predator instinct seem a perfect match. Our full back played as high up the pitch as wingers last night I can only see positives for Bent in this system. Get him fit and give him a run of games and I'm sure he'll come good again. Its vital that we keep a player of Bent' ability. Benteke Bent Aggy and Weimann give us great opitions up front and should allow Lambert to concentrate on improving other areas of the squad

What a fantastic night. I have to say our support was absolutely brilliant. MOTM for me was Delph. What impressed my most of all was how well we kept the ball and how patient we were. Waiting until the right times to play the incisive passes. Benteke is awesome, he is so vital to the way we are playing and no matter how good I think Bent is, I have to say the manager has got it right with his selection policy. JUst hope we can transfer that form into the league.

Thanks for the feedback guys its proved really helpful, if only to confirm my worst fears thats it's really all about street ced. Strange that when I was a lad I didn't give a toss maybe thats why I turned into this tremendously 'Uncool Dad'. However I do console myself that I did at least get one this right and that was to ensure that the aforementioned junior is claret and blue through and through and the only time he moans at me is for my choice of attire and when I have to tell him that unfortunately there are the few away games that we can't go to. Anyway back to the god damn Beats and one last question. Do I pay the extra for wireless?

OK youngsters I'm seeking your guidance - My 14 year old son has placed his requests for Christmas to my surprise he has asked for some headphones. Obviously being an 'uncool' dad I have no idea what he was after other than the name. Dr Dre Beats mean absolutely nothing to me but i have noticed them on the advertisement on VT. So guys firstly are they any good? Why is there such a price variance? Some are about 120 quid whilst others are 260 and there are some inbetween and some even more expensive. Are they worth the money or are there better options. IS it just the latest thing to be seen 'cool' having

Its a sign of how poor I think we have become - even I a serial SI disliker wanted his inclusion against Arsenal and hope that he is included tomorrow

Unfortunately for DB our Midfield simply isn't good enough to be able to control play and create the kind of chances he thrives on. To try and make us more competative we have had to adopt this system of 4 2 3 1 and to a certain extent (with the exception of Man C) it has been pretty successful. I can certainly see why PL would leave DB out whilst adopting this approach. I also agree that if PL it trying to make a point to the rest of the squad then to leave DB out is also fine. What I can't understand is leaving him out of the squad entirely. If DB is fit then he has to be part of the squad. To leave him out entirely to prove a point is IMO bad management.

IMO Rodigan's post makes an awful lot of sense. The real test will be the January window. If PL continues with his policy of youngsters with potential I'm afraid that there will only be one outcome. Supplement the squad with 2/3 experienced quality premiership performers in key areas (defence/midfield I believe we have enough up top) then we will be fine
