Anyway, we now seriously need O’Hara (who performs the same midfield creative role as Frimpong) back from his groin surgery ASAP, as Henry is nowhere near good enough for this level of football. And Henry is now banned for three matches after a stupid back-heel kick at Villa’s Albrighton who was fouling him by entangling his legs after a defensive challenge.

That doesn't read too well and smacks of it ay fair.
Glad you picked up on that too. So what if Albrighton fouled him, his reaction was disgusting. He kicked him in the chest and scraped his studs along Albrightons body. If you watch the incident from the start Henry has his hands around Albrightons throat also.

Keane did get booed by the home fans, but there was a fair amount of applause from them when he went off

Aye, similar enough to when Young came back to us. A decent reception from the majority, but there's always a few brain donors out there, regardless of the club.

My eyesight is getting so bad.   I only clicked on to this thread because I thought it said Piresx2 and that we were getting the flying frog back for a second stint.

I am biased but there is a marked difference in the quality of those two articles.


In what sense? They're both well written and are only the opinions of the writer.It's up to the reader to decide whether they agree with the points expressed.

Oh, I agree, the wolves one ay bad, but it ay as good as the other one.

Woodhall's economy with words pwns the other one innit.

Agree one was succinct and too the point without the usual biased fans crap and the other was a bit of a typical fans eye view. Good stuff Dave. My summing up was bringing Warnock on to stop thier winger coupled with the best player on the pitch getting injured, the worst getting sent off and 2 great strikes from Robbie Keane gave the victory to The Villa.

Blimey the Wolves writer is hard to please 'easy prodded second Villa goal', keeper might have done a bit better but the strike was pure class.

Agreed but I think Kesae hitting it so early meant that the keeper didn't have chance to set himself.

Kesae? Is that black-country for Robbie?
