General - Darren Bent is coming off as the bargain of the season!, thoughts on the insane English transfer market price tags?

Cheers for the highlights watched the game live courtesy of bet365 though as I can tomorrow and any other game ahem

Well worth checking out the highlights though, just for Porto's dirty antics alone.

(and here is that game with us against Porto for those who havent seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vznd6kJtyiM)

I remember Porto were cheating bastards in a FRIENDLY against Villa in the Peace cup. Got Heskey sent off by pretending he had been shot when Heskey touched him. This was all because Villa didn't kick the ball out of play when a Porto player was obviously feigning injury. Actually hate Porto, and all Portuguese teams really, because of that.

Posting that in a thread dedicated to Portuguese Football?

i now have alot more coverage from bET365 - Shocking diving from Porto particularly from Hulk and James Rodriguez - they just need to play as they are 2-0 down.

FT 1st Leg - Porto 0 - 2 Benfica

League is priority I think for Porto as this was a cup game.

Play like we did against Man United, we'll destroy them 3-0 (aka a kind way of saying we'll thrash'em) or 4-1 if we concede.

Remember that VERY well, RIP Miklos - I've never looked at Guimaraes' stadium the same.

Keep up the coverage Mister, wish I could have more access to Portuguese Football

Clarks got international duty coming up, so perhaps thats why he's not in tonight.

This is quite funny, watch the Sunderland fans call the OP all sorts of names and laugh at us..........Then the realisation dawns on them!!

It's cruel, but that's funny. I've never seen :shock: used so much.

I'm bookmarking that QUALITY read.

No wonder he wants out of there, **** disgraceful - Luckily Birmingham has a proud history of diversity when it comes to race.

Milfner, Forest could get that but I wouldn't mind Watford.

Ill say it again, just get rid of him - bring in Kevin since they wanted to play under him and just write this season off.

Daily Heil

We couldn’t believe what we were hearing,’ said one player.

Three victories in 15 games since taking over have left Houllier facing a battle to save his job, although in public chief executive Paul Faulkner and owner Randy Lerner remain committed to their boss.

Villa’s owners do not want to sack a manager five months after appointing him. But with a dressing room at odds with themselves, crowds dwindling and games against city rivals Birmingham and the two Manchester giants looming, things may not improve quickly.

Someones been on the phone..

I hope it was sarcastic, otherwise he's lost the dressing room.

Relegation, be nice to see how Leicester and Coventry are doing.

We're going to **** this up, the Chelsea game was just paper over the cracks.

We're going to **** this up knowing us lately.

This is the old Villa! lovely.

We've been alright today, of gabby if you were upfront and Alby was on the wing, but still I'm sure changes will be made.

YES PENALTY

1-1!!

I hope its a bollocking from Chelsea, so as it puts Houlliers job under more pressure.

Well aren't you a great fan. We should expect to battle but probably lose this match really anyway (if we're honest) another display like Citeh and he'll be under pressure but I think people need to realise that as soon as Houllier gets the sack we aren't instantly going to get confidence back and be organised in defence, Ireland and Carew aren't suddenly going to care and Dunne isn't suddenly going to forget where the pies are at halftime.

We need to pick our form up and it starts now. New Year New Players New Form

I was taking the piss out of the thread that was made.

I'm not expecting anything here though, just as long as we keep it respectable.

I hope its a bollocking from Chelsea, so as it puts Houlliers job under more pressure.

Lets be honest did we REALLY expect anything here?

LOL, nice one lads, tonking here we come!

And Dunne and Ireland are playing reserves..well Dunne is anyway - so lol

He's threatened a 'sit in protest' now according to the Mail and Mirror rags, and for the Man Utd game where he claimed he was ill, he was spotted at a night club on the piss with a few of David Haye's mates thats what made Houllier blow his top as he was part of his plans for the game.

Anyone think that he looks like a young Father Jack (from Father Ted)?

All WBA so far, woeful.
