At the moment Bent is wasted with us

[kippaxvilla2]

I feel sorry for Bent, it wouldn't surprise me if he starts tweeting during games soon.

He might as well be sat at home if we're never going to get the ball from him.

He must be getting frustrated.

[Mister E]

Herd and Petrov work well together.

Ha ha ha, very good.

Crikey.

Bruce has got a right old gut on him

Why on earth do you have that photo to hand? Or even google it?

The beach is where he may be soon if we get a winner.

[Brian Taylor]

Come on Villa..a draw is min requirement now! A win excellent..you can do it!! come on!!

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Everytime Collins tries to pass a 40 yard ball, each Villa player on the pitch at that moment should get to land a free punch on him in the dressing room afterwards. He'd soon stop.

Just in from tut shops.   Still in the game I see.  What's the story so far?

He does like that, doesn't he, the Ginger Leg Swinger.

This is what I was getting at earlier. I think McLeish really needs to make up his mind on what he wants us to be. If he wants us to hoof it (which it does look like at times), then he might as well put Heskey up alongside Bent and let Bent go for the flick-ons and knock-downs. If he wants us to pass it around and work it into the box, or play to the wings and whip crosses in, then Agbonlahor and N'Zogbia as 'wide-attackers' either side of Bent as a sole striker would work.

I just think we're falling between two stools, really.

It was in the paper not long back.

Good save Given.
