Was that Lofty out of Eastenders in the exec box?

We'll score in a minute

Streams have died, been left with Woodward and Morley (straight-faced smiley).

This is fucking frustrating.

[Rigadon]

Houllier's brand of cultured, intelligent passing football is a joy to behold, and will be great when we find some personnel who can actually play it.

Give me a team who tries to play over one that hits 70 yard passes in order to win throw ins any day.  Take your point but I thought we looked pretty sensational at times last weekend against West Ham - they can play but they aren't good enough to do it against teams who play 10 men behind the ball

Not to kick a man when he's down but the sooner this season is over and we can get rid of Houllier and McAllister the better off we'll be. How anybody can turn a defensively sound team into the shite we've seen this season deserves some credit!

There is no way, IMO, that Randy will sack Houllier now.

i disagree, they now have a very good non-footballing reason which allows them to save face. 

The worst decision Houllier has made whilst in charge was appoint McAllister. 

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We need to get Gabby on and stop playing high balls up front. Stoke have too many big men to deal with it. Gabby will scare them with his pace.

[villa for life]

just going to have to equalize and then score a late winner, again.

I'd rather see a team that plays to its strengths. And one that wins matches when it still isn't technically safe from relegation. Once we are safe, then we can play sexy.

i have a nice few quid on Stoke at 4/1

was thinking about it all week

then when houllier was hospitalized and that twat was manager today - made my mind up and hammered stoke

[TheSandman]

Our defenders remain utterly wank.

It baffles me why Cuellar or Clark don't get a match ahead of dumb and dumber.
