Craig Gardner was there as well, all my Blues mates were swarming around him like flies round shit.

He said to them that if he scores against us, he wants to run and smack Ashley Young.

the thing that ruins it for me is the arms being chopped off on Milner (and Che come to think of it)

which is somewhat ironic given your user name!

HA!

As was someone called Gary O'connor.  He drank about 20 WKDs / Smirnoff Ices, one after the other.  Big Girl's Blouse.

Yeah, threw blind.  8 straight legs, all nine darters.  He then gave a lesson in awesomeness to Phil Taylor, and punched Geoff Horsefield in face.

I can't remember where I read it, possibly When Saturday Comes who are usually very good at this sort of thing, but I once saw Garry O'Connor being described as looking like someone who would be more at home hurling half consumed bottles of Merrydown at the policemen trying to dismantle a Spiral Tribe PA system than on a football pitch.

Yep. To be fair to Gardner though, there's a few villa fans on here who'd probably like to run up to Ashley Young and smack him. Give the little fecker a genuine reason to fall over!

Fabio Capello picks James Milner to be England’s unlikely star


Milner has been one of the main reasons behind Aston Villa's challenge for a European place.

Gabriele Marcotti, European Football Correspondent and twat.

Fabio Capello has identified James Milner as the “most improved” England player this season while insisting that he is “quite happy” with the goalkeeping situation and that Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard can, in fact, play together — provided that they are in good form.

The England manager, who was speaking to Gol Televisión, the Spanish broadcaster, also issued a plea to supporters. “Have faith, because I have faith,” he said. “I’m here because I believe in this team. And I believe that we have a real chance in South Africa.”

When asked which players caught his eye, Capello had no hesitation in singling out Milner, the Aston Villa midfield player. “Last season, Theo Walcott was a surprise to us, he came in and was very important in crucial qualifying games,” Capello said. “This year our most improved player is Milner. He played with us three or four times and he will be part of the squad.

“Plus, of course, there is [Wayne] Rooney who this year has scored plenty of goals, both for his club and his country. He’s been devastating this season and I can only hope he’ll carry that form with him to South Africa.”

The England manager confirmed that form will be decisive in team selection, particularly when it comes to Lampard and Gerrard. “I think good players can always play together, but a lot depends on what kind of form they’re in,” he said. “In a team you have to play the players who are in the best possible form. That said, both are important players who are very talented and that’s why I say I believe they can play together.

“In fact, they’ve shown on many occasions that they are the kind of players who can swing a match your way.”

The goalkeeping situation — cited by many as a possible source of concern — does not seem to worry Capello. He hinted that he had made up his mind regarding the three goalkeepers who will make the trip. “I’m fairly happy,” he said. “We’ve got [Robert] Green, [David] James who is older and experienced and [Joe] Hart who is young. I don’t think we have a problem when it comes to goalkeepers.”

Capello also addressed the issue of the captaincy and Wayne Bridge’s retirement from international duty. “The players know that I believe the armband must go to a player who can be an example to youngsters,” he said. “And what happened with Terry was not good. That’s why I explained to him that he could not continue as captain but would continue to be a leader on the pitch and important player for us.

“As for Bridge, he has time to change his mind. The situation is still very raw for him.”

Capello confirmed that David Beckham, despite his injury, has been invited to join the squad in South Africa. “To the English he’s a symbol and for us he was very, very important,” he said. “And so we asked him along. It’s up to him whether he’s going to join us.”

Does the fact that he says he is happy with the goalkeeping situation discredit any praise he has given Milner????

[VillaVA]

I don't like Milner being described as this year's Walcott.  Not exactly a great precedent to follow, either in the World Cup or afterwards.

When's the squad announced? I'm gonna get an England shirt with Milner on the back when it is. But need to get the squad numbers first!
