Available Saturday afternoon.
-
Jenas on bench, no place for Wee Barry, looks like will be same team as last week...Shock horror
-
VILLA: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Petrov, Herd, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Heskey, Bent
-
Would much prefer to see jenas , ireland or bannan in midfield rather than heskey who works hard enough but has nothing like the ball control or passing required to play in that position.
-
Oh well come on you Villa boys.
-
It's like bein back under mon, you know the team before its announced
-
Norwich v Villa: Ruddy, Martin, Johnson, Morrison, Holt, Pilkington, Houlihan, Bennett, Barnett, Tierney, Naughton. Subs: Rudd, Crofts, Jackson, Surman, Fox, Wilbraham, Delaet.
VILLA v Norwich: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Petrov, Herd, N'Zogbia, Heskey, Agbonlahor, Bent. Subs: Guzan, Jenas, Ireland, Delph, Albrighton, Clark, Cuellar.
-
And dread it. Because of Heskey and the right back in both cases!
-
This is why the attendence will probably be sub 30k today. Just look at that lineup. It's set up not to win.
McLeish has a record of 1 win out in the last 9 games with us for a reason. He is a clueless man. Don't eliminate the possiblity of relegation just yet.
-
Come on McLeish. Pick a more attacking team. At least under Houllier he'd mix it up a little. Not suprised about Bannan being left out, nor about Jenas on the bench as I'm sure he'll play a part. But give Carlos a bit of time, or Ciaran. Anyway, let's hope for the best here.
-
What a joke sack Mccleish no forwards on the bench! Where's Weimann or Delfouneso! Might of well left Weimann on loan @ Watford
-
Dare i say it seems a team set up to go out and not lose rather than a team set up to go all out for a win.
Little in the way of creative flair and could be a game of few chances for us , lets hope bent puts them away today if he gets any, long time since ive seen villa park so empty at 2.45.
-
Doesn't fill me with much hope; I'll watch anyway but it could be ugly. Norwich should not be underestimated.
-
Anyone got any links to the game?
-
If we don't concede a Grant Holt header I'll be pleasantly surprised.
-
If Heskey plays behind the strikers then we really are in for a long winter. Reading Kendricks piece yesterday,it basically said Heskey was picked for his height and defensive work,if thats the case he may as well play Clarke.
-
Clark should be playing; period. I'd hate him to go the way of Cahill.
-
Nothing like a bit of pre match optimism eh chaps? I don't know why we're even bothering taking the field. Concede I say
-
Cuellar and Clarke should be playing. Other than that you cannot really argue with the selection. It says more about the state of our squad than McLeish's ability as manager.
-
Come on you Villa boys - we can win this!
-
Cuellar and Clarke should be playing. Other than that you cannot really argue with the selection. It says more about the state of our squad than McLeish's ability as manager.
so you think heskey offers more in midfield than ireland, bannan or jenas?
-
All the doom and gloom around here is so depressing. I say that as a glass half empty bloke myself.
Fingers crossed we can score about 3 today, somehow.
-
Anyone got any links to the game?
channel 5 on villa streams.
Do I need to be signed up?

-
We are sooo-o-o-o open with only 2 CMF! Suicide watch.
-
Heskey and then N'Zog give the ball away in front of goal ...
-
Oh dear, pretty poor start. Still, plenty of time to get into gear.
Afternoon, all.
-
we are far too exposed down our right flank, norwich are running at us for fun, worrying start.
sorry phil, yes you do.

so you think heskey offers more in midfield than ireland, bannan or jenas?
Generally, no, but Ireland's mad, Bannan might not be in the right state of mind to play, and Jenas is probably only 30-40 per cent fit.
-
Bloody hell Dunne!!
- awful tackle
- awful ball forward
- awful free kick conceded.
-
Cuellar and Clarke should be playing. Other than that you cannot really argue with the selection. It says more about the state of our squad than McLeish's ability as manager.

And heskey couldnt trap a bag of cement!
-
Collins you piss poor excuse for a defender.
-
James Collins, dreadful stuff there.
We're all over the fekkin' place these first ten minutes, awful.
-
Collins you piss poor excuse for a defender.
x 2
-
i see we've started our fouling already
-
How sad that cuellar cant get into our defence when we are so wide open at the back .
-
Who is supposed to be providing cover in front of Hutton? - 'cos they ain't doing it!
-
We don't have any belief.
-
Collins you piss poor excuse for a defender.
x 2
I hate the fact he plays every week, the only reason people cut him slack is because of Heskey playing. I'm not even bothered about Heskey, Collins is our worst player imo
-
Dunne & Collins = Past it
-
At least our defence is sorted (wheres the pinochio moticon)
-
Cuellar and Clarke should be playing. Other than that you cannot really argue with the selection. It says more about the state of our squad than McLeish's ability as manager.

You could perhaps argue that Delph should be playing in midfield rather than Heskey, but there is also questions about his fitness, and he has hardly set the world alight so far this season.
-
Being comprehensively outplayed by Norwich City is not how I envisioned this afternoon going. We seem to be getting steadily worse week after week.
-
We are an indisciplined rabble. Shocking. Team is set up all wrong.
Heskey left wing - McLeish isn't doing himself any favours with these kind of tactics
-

I was hoping gary gardner might have emerged by now, but we do have better options than the current incumbent.
-
midfield need to get a grip
-
Collins you piss poor excuse for a defender.
x 2
So you have stayed put as well today Risso?
-
Who is supposed to be providing cover in front of Hutton? - 'cos they ain't doing it!
Nzogbia.
He doesn't like tracking back.
Petrov hasn't the mobility to cover in a 2 man midfield either.
-
midfield need to get a grip
You mean our 2 against their four?
-
Bent should have scored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Confidence has gone.
-
Sadly, my pre-match prediction isn't as way off as I hoped it would be:
1-1
To our surprise, Norwich will dominate the match early on, but we will score on the break with Gabby.
Then we defend our lead vigourously with 10 men behind the ball. Norwich runs out of steam, we start to control the match and even vaguely look like scoring a second. But then we concede on a set-piece in the last 5 minutes. After that, headless end-to-end until the final whistle.
-
great chance for Bent
-
Afternoon all, a quick scan shows me it's been a bag of shit so far then?
-

Pretty much
-
Anyone know the reporter Alan Tully? He's an even bigget ****** about us than Pat Murphy.
-

Improved in recent minutes coops but poor 1st 20 mins.
-
Could be worse, could be 2-0 down like Tamuff are at Kidderminster.
-
Last 5mins better from Villa
-
5 yards out, goals gaping, Darren Bent has it, and puts it straight at the keeper
What is going on Dazza B?
-
Anyone know the reporter Alan Tully? He's an even bigget c*** about us than Pat Murphy.
That's because he's a nose.
-
Last 5mins better from Villa
MUCH better, thank Christ! Poor pass from N'Zogbia in a good situation, mind. Anyway, at least we're holding our own. Against Norwich. At home.
-
Is it true that Holt is the most fouled player, and the player that has conceded the most in the EPL or does it just seem like it?
-
Yet another stupid foul by Hutton.
-
Looking better the last few mins.
-
Another poor free kcik conceded, this time by Hutton. GOAL.
-
And what else than a goal. Great finish from Pilkington - but stupid fould
-
Oh shit!
-
Jesus.
Oh well, I suppose we'll see how resilient we are.
-
Fuck off Villa you useless bastards, fucking woeful
-
We are so poor.
-
ahh !!!
-
well given had no hope with that , troubled times ahead me feels.
-
We've been all over them! FFS, Villa.
-
We're being outclassed at home by Norwich.
-
Our club, our once great club. Where art thou hiding :-(
-
WTF was Hutton doing and another goal from a set piece.
-
Goodnight!
Frigging Hutton again. He's a constant source of worry for us. Fuck him off asap!
Bent doesn't look confident at all. He must be fed up of having no service this season.
Heskey just isn't a midfielder. It's useless again.
-
Bent needs to gamble!
-
We've been all over them! FFS, Villa.
Clearly we are watching a different game?
-
good cross gabby
-
Nice free kick to be fair he hit it well
-
My weekly Match post.....
Both Jenas and Hutton are shit and a complete waste of money
-

as I see it but don think AM sees what every one else does.
-
We're being outclassed at home by Norwich.
In fairness we're not though.
-
Absolutely genious by Gabby!
And Bent scores.
-
yesssssssssss!
-
Better, Bent! Great set-up by Gabby.
-
Thank fuck for that! Good goal, Benty! Cracking play, that!
-
get in!
-
Tch! What were we worried about?
-
We've been all over them! FFS, Villa.
Clearly we are watching a different game?
Clearly. I'm watching the match where Norwich are barely getting a sniff.
One one!
-
Important that our heads don't drop but that we build on the improvement before the goal. Still a long time to go.
-
yesss ..... phewwwwww
-
Without Gabby we'd be nowhere.
-
Get in
-
Bent has been poor this season.
We are a mess on and off the field.
Gabby superb again. Good movement from Bent for a change. Hopefully will give him a boost.
-
thank God for Gabby
-
Gabby has to lay it on for Bent to score according to Kamara, so Gabby gets the plaudits for me. Feel reliefed, but nowhere near happy, we should be smashing teams like Norwich
-
Great work from Gabby AGAIN!!
-
Superb by gabby again. he's fast turning into our next export to Manchester
-
Gabbys got the beating of that full back
-
Bent will do fuck all, miss plenty but he'll still be well into double figures at the end of the season.
-
Gabby is looking very good this season , could be a few more goals in this both sides.
-
For once a bit of luck our way. Warnock seemed to handle it at the start of the move.
And Alan Tully again, is a prick.
-
To be fair Bents missed a few lately
-
Excellent ! Pretty good play leading up to the goal as well.
-
Thank christ for Gabby this season. Bent needed that goal.
-
And the world is put right! Glad I have both our strikers in my Fantasy League team this week!
-
Should have scored from N'Zog's cross!!
-
When taking quick freekicks, you are not allowed the yards, if not calling for them.
Gabby's crosses are great.
-
Crikey! N'Zogbia playing well today!
-
We've been all over them! FFS, Villa.
Clearly we are watching a different game?
Clearly. I'm watching the match where Norwich are barely getting a sniff.
One one!
Even game in my opinion , norwich could have had 3 goals , hardly not getting a sniff , we are inproving last 10 minutes though.
-
We just need to keep getting down the flanks, they're pretty shaky there. Charles is looking better.
-
And the world is put right! Glad I have both our strikers in my Fantasy League team this week!
I just dropped Bent from mine. Bloody typical!
-
N'Zogbia was in paper today saying he wants to do well
-
Bent should have scored that one too.
Nzogbia is improving.
Typical stupidity from Warnock there.
-
Giving too many poxy free kicks away. I really do not like the football ethos that the team has at the moment.
-
Sorry to annoy but no luck finding a stream anyone got lucky ?
-
And the world is put right! Glad I have both our strikers in my Fantasy League team this week!
I just dropped Bent from mine. Bloody typical!
I had him sold to try to finance Van Persie but cancelled at the last minute!
-
Like Mac says - Holt is involved in any stoppage.
-
Deano is doing the trick at doncaster , 3 up away at ipswich already.
-

Van Persie goal and assist already...and he's my captain ;)

Collins is always bleedin' bleeding.

Two goals for Diouf as well.

-
This is the best nzogbia has played for us , a goal would be a great boost for him too.
-
Herd doing well again; just as well, really.
-
Nice play there from Herd.
-
Four shots each on target , this could go either way but i feel there will be more goals to come.
-
Too many freekicks conceded ...
-
Amazed by that run from old Petrov - managed to get in front of 3 players with the ball.
-
Surging forward run from Petrov there. Blimey.
-
Gabby must be close to the england squad with this display today.
-
Herd's covering has been excellent.
-
Whatever his faults might be, McLeish seems to be the first manager for ages who seems to have cottoned on to the fact that Gabby is really quite speedy and that this can be turned to our advantage. Fair play to him.
Anyway, dismal, dismal first fifteen minutes aside we've been decent here, and I'd say we could (probably should) be in front.
Not bad.
-
I would hate to be in one of those running races with Gabby. Freakishly fast and with a good degree of control too.
-
From what iv'e seen so far we are far from a poor team. they do need a kick up the rear now and again though.
-
Gabby and Herd both standing out. Bent could've and really should've had a hatrick in that half. Clark on for Heskey?
-
Herd's done well.. Agbonlahor the talisman again
-
Not bad so far. We're giving away silly free kicks again and the chief culprits are our fullbacks as usual.
N'Zogbias playing okay. Gabby's been excellent and Bent looks dangerous.
Heskey's a passenger and we could benefit from Jenas legs and ability in midfield.
Herd I like the more I see him. He's a good sweeper in midfield. He's probably the best we have for the job right now and he's decent enough on the ball to get us moving forward. We're passing it around reasonably well today, but more so because of the space and time Norwich are leaving us, than any change tactically. We still need some extra legs and quality in the middle to help out Stan and Herd.
-
These are here for the beating
-
For me Hutton, Bent and Heskey have been poor! To be fair to Bent his positioning has been great but finish awful for 24 million pounds!
-
Heskey in midfield at home to Norwich.
-
Gabby must be close to the england squad with this display today.
Thats the kiss of death... (automatically sold in the summer)!
-
Gabby has been our best player by a mile and dragged us back into the game. Herd has settled nicely too. Nzogbia isn't tracking back that much but is far more confident on the ball after a decent display last weekend.
Heskey hasnt been that bad but it makes no sense to play him. Especially in midfield.
Some awful indiscipline on show by a number of our players, well all our defenders, Petrov and Gabby. Just mindless stupid fouling. It was there last season and again this season. It might only seem a small thing but it's indicative of our club at the moment.
-
Gabby, Bent and Nzogbia playing at even 90% should be a pretty formidable attacking three, especially when supported from the bench by Albrighton and dare I say it Heskey.
We just need to find a decent three behind them that have the right blend of industry and creativity.
-
toplad4U,
Criticism of Bent is treacherous in my book. He kept us in the premiership last season and has scored 4 already this season. He was driven out of Spurs...let's love him whilst he's at the villa, please!
-
Were not Man City but no way was that negative defensive football, Gabby and Herd playing really well again,
I also don't care what people say about spanking Norwich, they are a good side who gave Man Utd a run not so long back
We could still do with some quality ball play from out of defense instead of the big hopefull hoof
-
Gabby must be close to the england squad with this display today.
Thats the kiss of death... (automatically sold in the summer)!
Gabby was going to be included in the last England squad but Villa asked to keep him out as he had picked-up a knock (think it was the Wigan game).
-
Gabby probably could of reached zogs cross but he didnt commit cost he assumed bent would connect with his volley.
-
These are here for the beating
We must make sure that they are beaten and leave Villa Park with a good spanking.

Agree with all of this.
I guess my view is that the midfield is so imbalanced: I'd like to see a true 4 in MF - Petrov, Herd, Delph and Jenas (with BB being an alternative to either Delph or JJ), and 2 from GA, Bent and N'Zog up front.
With Clark and Cuellar at the back (in place of Hutton and Collins) we'd be pretty good.
-
What the frig has happened to N'Zogbia's touch? He's actually playing ok, but still, must do better.
Gabby - awesome, keep it up.
Come on Villa, shite start but we've got the beating of these.
-
We desperatly need 3 points today. Our december schedule doesn't bode well. (please explain why i travel to the ManU game! just to be in a bad mood.)
-
Heskey in midfield is the most annoying thing for me! Get JJ in
-
toplad4U,

I certainly would not want the man out of Villa. He's an assett.
-
Gabby should be playing where Heskey is to keep getting behind them and one of our strikers on the bench (Clark or Cuellar) should come on.
-
Afternoon chaps, hows it going?
-
BIG improvement during the half, but apart from Gabby we haven't asked enough questions of what looks a shaky Norwich defence. We still hoof the ball too much, and nobody's telling me that Heskey on the pitch is doing much for our creativity that Ireland couldn't do.
-
get the fvcking points, let's go.
-
Heskey in midfield is the most annoying thing for me! Get JJ in
Normally I'd agree, but I think he's playing quite well today. But yeah, Jenas might bring a bit more dynamism, maybe.
-
Crowd looks pretty sparse.
-
FINALLY!! Somebody else makes a mistake.
-
Super Gabby
-
We need to get the third goal quickly.
-
Sorry about the outage folks. that was 10 mins
-
Please dont feck this up Villa, well done Gabby, your my fecking hero
-
Great covering from Herd again, to break up the 2 on 2.
-
That's better..fortunate, but better
Let's not get the last 20mins shakes now!
-
Bleedin' hell; corner frailty again.
-
Hutton gives away needless corner. He's really not much good, is he?
-
Hotton really is beyond garbage.
-
We need to put this to bed with another goal. I have no confidence that they won't score again.
-
Still looking dodgy on corners- we need another goal and to learn to kill teams off.
-
it's one squeaky defence we have here.
-
Hutton gives away needless corner. He's really not much good, is he?
TBF, he got no shout.
-
Hutton gives away needless corner. He's really not much good, is he?
He's a dreadful player. Zero ability from what I can see. I'd rather play Cuellar there, at least he can defend.
-
They're coming in to this, got to be careful.
And any needless concession of corners like Hutton then are big gambles considering our bad set-piece defending lately.
-
We need to put this to bed with another goal. I have no confidence that they won't score again.
Nope. In fact, I reckon it's more than likely that they will. If we get the next one, we should be OK.
-
Hutton gives away needless corner. He's really not much good, is he?
What did we expect? He was a Spurs reject and we gave up Luke Young for him.
-
Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yet another BRILLIANT CROSS FROM GABBY!!!
-
Get in...
-
Oh Gabby you BEAUTY.
-
Yes! Bent again! Another top cross from Gabby, brilliant stuff!
-
i would bring on Carlos for Hutton now
-
Bloody hell, he nearly missed that.
Is that Bent's first at the Holte End?
-
3-1
-
That was quality from Gabby. That boy is Villa through and through
-
It's been pretty decent so far!
-
Great play again by Gabby!
-
Get in Dazza B. Get in Villa! I know it should be safe now, but we are Villa, dont feck this up!!!
-
Can somebody tell Nogbia that he's allowed to cross a football now and again. For reference, please send him to G Agbonlahor.
-
I am in love with Gabriel.
-
Time to get some proper midfielders on now.
-
Hutton gives away needless corner. He's really not much good, is he?
What did we expect? He was a Spurs reject and we gave up Luke Young for him.
Well, I can only speak for myself but I am sure I remember him being quite good at Spurs. There again, I suppose he'd have held on to his spot in the team if he was that good.
Anyway, 3-1. Good.
-
Has Heskey touched the ball yet?
-
Bloody hell, Gabby is absolutely sensational this year. I always had a massive soft spot for him, being one of us and all that, and thought he was good, just maybe a bit one-dimensional. But now he's looking like a world beater.
Love the lad to bits!
-
Benty for a third anyone?
-
Gabby is wasted on the wing :-P
-
great..better and better!
-
Get in! Gabby has been a monster this game, and for most of the season to be fair.
-
JJ coming on.
-
Jenas coming on. He cannot possibly hope to live up to my expectations, the poor bastard.
-
Jenas for Heskey?
-
So, another Spurrrrrrrrrrrrrrs reject comes on to great applause.
-
Super! Been a while since we had a day like this!
-
Actually, bollocks to it. I reckon Jenas will score this afternoon with a screamer from outside the box.
Do we say 'Jennis' (as in Dennis), or 'Jeenus' (as in, er, Jesus)?
-
cracking through ball from JJ
-
Actually, bollocks to it. I reckon Jenas will score this afternoon with a screamer from outside the box.
Do we say 'Jennis' (as in Dennis), or 'Jeenus' (as in, er, Jesus)?
I hope not Janus as in..
-
Good first pass from Jenas
-
I'm having my best fantasy league week in ages! I reckon I might climb into the top 50 in the H&V league!
-
We do look better with Jenas, a genuine midfielder, on the pitch.
-
If he plays like Heskey it wil be Jesus
-
'Ole' from the Holte End.
It's been a while.
-
Good time to introduce Jenas actually. Make sure the lad gets a positive start. Good first touch too, holding a ball calmly and waiting for the runner...nice composure.
-
Warnock's generally done well, but he has annoyingly given the ball away a couple of times.
-
Warnock's generally done well, but he has annoyingly given the ball away a couple of times.
As per normal then!
-
No doubt gabby and petrov are both having excellent seasons so far, surely even we cannot throw this lead away?
-
Warnock's generally done well, but he has annoyingly given the ball away a couple of times.
Yep, usually IMMEDIATELY after he's done well, if you see what I mean.
Promising start from Jenas.
-
Confident we won't throw this away now..or is that asking too much..Come on Villa!
-
Should be bringing on Delph not the mentalist. Give Delph some pitchtime whilst we're doing well.
-
Here we go :(
-
Fukcing Ireland!! Can't defend!!
-
I knew it.
Idiots.
-
you knew we weren't capable of holding on
-
Here we go again...
-
Fukin Hutton again I am close to punching the fuckin screen.
-
oh shite; as confidence ebbs!
-
Oh FFS Villa, here we go again.
-
Confident we won't throw this away now..or is that asking too much..Come on Villa!
Well ...
-
Foul not given before they scored the goal. Again. 3-3 anybody?
-
well i predicted 3-2
-
Is Hutton the worst right back we have ever had?
-
Warnock's generally done well, but he has annoyingly given the ball away a couple of times.
... do you want to revisit this quote after that last goal!
-
Well fucking played warnock.
our defence is shite and will concede again
-
Another poxy free kick, this time from that tosser Ireland.
When will we learn?
-
No doubt gabby and petrov are both having excellent seasons so far, surely even we cannot throw this lead away?
Wanna bet on that?
-
Going for 5-2
-
Just come in, fucking come on Villa.
-
3-1 up at home and coasting. Just need to stay solid and see it out.....
...so we take off our holding midfielder and send on Ireland, having already sent on a not-fully-match-fit attacking midfielder.
I just don't think that's a very good idea.
-
Warnock's generally done well, but he has annoyingly given the ball away a couple of times.
... do you want to revisit this quote after that last goal!
No, the main problem was Ireland not getting the block in on the right hand side.
-
Just as people were saying we couldn't throw it away. We fucking need these three points so we had better get a grip again.
-
Hutton, you are a ******!
-
Going for 5-2
Absolutely!! Err?
-
How dispiriting must it be for Gabby and Bent to play in a team that has such utterly useless defenders in it?

Warnock's generally done well, but he has annoyingly given the ball away a couple of times.
... do you want to revisit this quote after that last goal!
No, the main problem was Ireland not getting the block in on the right hand side.
Agree, but Warnock was still not marking his player or was even aware of him!
-
3-1 up at home and coasting. Just need to stay solid and see it out.....
...so we take off our holding midfielder and send on Ireland, having already sent on a not-fully-match-fit attacking midfielder.
I just don't think that's a very good idea.
Petrov has a hamstring injury.
Link has gone down, anyone got another?
-
How dispiriting must it be for Gabby and Bent to play in a team that has such utterly useless defenders in it?
I dunno, but it's pretty dispiriting for me watching it!

That's because he is not a very good manager.

Surely wandering 5yrds from the attacker had something to do with it
-
Going for 5-2
Absolutely!! Err?
Been moaning all season - thought i should try different aproach

True but the cross was v good and Morrison is a big SOAB.
-
any news on the attendance?
-
We've had 3 or 4 good chance to slip Ben through and haven't (choosing the wrong ball every time). It's not just the defence. Jenas looks good so far.

Its dispiriting that Gabby is carrying Bent our 24 million pound striker. I think he single handedly kept us up with his goals last season but this season he hasn't impressed me. Missed some absolute sitters
Norwich are fighting for this, please hold on Villa. PLEASEEEEE!!!!
-
I just can't enjoy anything - can I?
-
Link keeps coming and going but I don't know whether I want to watch us concede another last-minute equaliser anyway. Fuckin Villa, why can't they ever make things easy?!
-
Just put some new batteries in the keyboard. can now type at ranting speed
-
Oh shit, another corner to defend...

I can see us conceding another late one.
-
And again.
-
N'Zog!! needed to square the ball.
-
I'm already cursing the equaliser
-
Oh shit, another corner to defend...
Ditto - squeaky bum time.
-
We're not going to do this, are we?
And I used to be so positive...
-
How poor is it that we are hanging on against a team like Norwich?
-
N'Zog!! needed to square the ball.
I don't care what anybody says, N'Zogbia is rubbish.
-
How can we manage to do this every f.... time?
-
fucking hell Hutton.
-
N'Zog!! needed to square the ball.
Does he know that he has team mates?
-
How can we manage to do this every f.... time?
Simple. We have shit defenders organised by a crap manager.
-

My bum's gone past squeaky, and is heading into squelchy territory...

Where did 4 mins come from?
-
That Holt's a bit of a porker.
-
Where did 4 mins come from?
It seems to be the standard these days.
-
can't find my tenterhook
-
Good attendance the one week I predict a low one. Not my year for Guess the crowd!
-
1.30 seconds.
Betting man should go for a draw.
KEEP POSESSION!
-
can't find my tenterhook
I am living on mine,...
-
PHEW!
-
Fuck me...
-
A WIN
-
Blimey - we have to make it "exciting"
-
Ireland and Jenas alone seem to be understanding of the concept of keeping the ball, rather than aimlessly hoofing it under the slightest bit of pressure.
Full time, thank Christ for that.
-
Yippee!
-
A win wooo
