The rebirth of Emile: Omen.

[VillaAlways]

Not good news. I think this is to our detriment. Heskey seems key to the way Houllier wants to play and Heskey simply can't play everygame. He's very injury prone. The added match time of Englands games just expend too much energy and will take it's toll on Emile.

Not to mention the knock to his confidence if he has a poor game and he gets slated by the tabloids.

Sorry lads and lasses, I still think he is shit

Re: The rebirth of Ernie Owen

Spot the similarity?

Just seen "Emile Heskey decides not to end International retirement" on SSN...hopefully that means he'll remain focused on improving his performances for Villa. Never thought I'd ever be saying this, but with our current lack of decent forward options this has to be good news.

edit:
Heskey rejects England return

[Somniloquism]

Either I misread the SSN ticker earlier or they mis reported it but I'm sure it read as Heskey had done a U turn on England retirement.

[KRS]

Yeah I think theres been conflicting stories in towards press.

Anyone know the extent of his injury? I'm hoping he'll be back in time for the Chelsea game? We'll need him. I never, ever, thought I'd say that about Emile, but this season he's been by far and away our best forward.

Times say it's a'deadleg'
Not sure how long that will keep him out for.

Normally a few minutes when we used to administer them at school.

I read Emile : Owen as if they would be our forward line come January!

Ta. Let's hope that the second-degree chinese burns and atomic wedgie he suffered from the nasty sixth formers of wolverhampton comprehensive won't keep him out too long either.
