We'll work on defending set-pieces in pre-season - McAllister

[Rudy Can't Fail]

YOu mean simply hoofing it out of play at every opportunity. We conceded enough throws against Stoke without Cuellar hoofing. I love Carlos, but he is not Baresi.

Neither are Dunne and Collins. To his credit, when he has had that rare chance of playing, Carlos has tried to pass it. There's been a noteable improvement on that side of his game.

What's this fucking 'WE' bit?

What we bit? Any need for a fucking in there? Not sure I understand the question?

[Legion]

I think he's on about the thread title. No need for the 'f' word, though.

[ozzjim]

Do most of us in every other post not refer to Villa as 'we'? As such I can't see the issue, fucking or non fucking.

[TheSandman]

I think it is more to do with the prospect of McAllister being included in the we.

[Legion]

We do!

[Des Little]

I hope he's nowhere near our team come pre-season.  He's a complete and utter cock.

Des Little just said it all. An utter buffoon. Hit the road GMac.

Apart from his all round incompetence on playing matters McAllister is really getting on my tits with all these PR puffs he is getting in the papers trying to convince everybody that Gerard Houllier is coming back to manage Villa as soon as the paracetamols have got the pain down to bearable levels.   I think he thinks it makes him look loyal.   It does not.   It makes him look irresponsible.

When I teach kids Maths at school, I don't wait for them to fuck up their exams before teaching them how to turn a percentage into a fraction, I teach them before the exam so they have a better chance of passing.
How much is this twat McCallister paid by Villa per year?

Get rid, and get rid now and take Houllier with you. (I do wish him a speedy recovery from his illness of course)

Spot on.

“Defending set-pieces has got to be better. That’s something we’ve really got to brush up on. A good six weeks in the pre-season is where you set that in the players".

What he meant to say..

“Defending set-pieces has got to be better and I'm sure David Moyes would back me up on that. It’s something we’ve really got to brush up on as I'm sure Mark Hughes will have noticed.  A good six weeks in the pre-season is where you set that in the players.  I will more than likely be on an extended vacation by then but Martin Jol and his team I would expect to be spending time on this".

[Cuz]

Agreed!!! unsuccessful coach everywhere he's been, can't wait to see him gone

I hope he's nowhere near our team come pre-season.  He's a complete and utter cock.

Why work on it in the summer? Why not wait untill the following summer alltogether? Whats the panic ?
Clueless gimp.

[Greg N'Ash]

I read the piece as a subtle dig at what went on last summer with the training. I don't think Dunne's pie intake was the only thing that wasn't monitored upto the ex-manager leaving.
