Darren Bent

In the post you were answering Lizz, I think you misread the full stop after 'Chris Herd's Mrs'.

Now have another read, you lush.

Cheers Percy, see what you mean now . I was reading it as Mrs. Lambert. Anyway, genuinely glad I've made you laugh. And anyone else for that matter.

All of us Lizz.

Yeah, good one. I really thought you might have done it on purpose, real dead-pan like.

PS: Crash is a great film innit?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Despite what Lambert says he does have his favorites and they dont include Mr Bent

Lambert is probably pissed off that he kept trying on outfits without ever buying anything.

Yes, good on so many levels. We've now turned over to MOTD, but given a choice, I'd rather watch Crash.

Get the DVD for Christmas.

Get the DVD for Christmas.

Is that the DVD of Lizz doing the best dry comedy act ever ?

Absolute madness to keep Bent out of the the team when we have the lowest scoring Villa team in years.

Found a formation that works & Benteke is the spearhead of it. Replacing him with Bent would be crazy.

What is it, 12 league goals all season?? You really think its working?

[Percy McCarthy]

How was it working when Bent was playing?

Finally, yes. Whatever we were trying early on didn't work (which was, I'm sure, a different formation anyway). However it's begun to show it's usefulness and we've picked up some points and had some good performances. Bent was hardly banging them in before he was dropped. Benteke came in and has offered much more.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lambert stuck with the 3-5-2 formation for a few games which could see Bent come back into play alongside Benteke. Stoke might be one to use it.

Possibly. I mean Gabby spend large portions of the game yesterday, playing through the middle. If Bent is willing to put in some graft and work the channels from time to time, alternating with Eke, then we could have some joy, and more goal threat.
I love Gabba but he offers almost nothing in terms of goal threat these days.

[claret and blue blood]

regarding these alleged rumours re Bent shagging various alleged wives, a steward intimated as much to me at the Reading game, Whether it's bollox or not Lambert keeps denying it's anything other than a football decision and he was on the bench yesterday.He has been injured and I still think Lambert has been shocked by how poor we really are and the upturn in results has been without him.Maybe he feels he can't risk a defeat and playing Bent might result in that? Frustrating ain't it ?
