It would be nice to have someone in the lineup called Alf.

We could sing - 'What's it all about ...?'  When he scores another hat trick.

I remember Kezman playing for Chelsea against us at Villa Park, and though he didn't score (I don't think), I thought he was brilliant, a constant thorn in our side, making intelligent runs, always finding space.

Then he went on to do precisely nothing.

Fold.

We could go for this bloke - apparently TSM put a bid in but never heard back.

Funny how over the years we have been a wonderful team to play against for those needing a bit of boost in confidence.

That's true. Whenever we're playing a team and someone mentions that some opposition forward hasn't scored for ages I always think "bollocks. I bet the bastard scores against us."

Amazingly though, when a bloke has been scoring goals with the frequency of Barry Austin visiting a fast food establishment I always think "bollocks. I bet the bastard scores against us."

When a striker hasn't scored in decades I just KNOW he will score against us.

When a player happens to make his debut against us, I just KNOW everybody will be raving about him after the game.

Young defender Josh Webb will jet out to join the Villa squad in Germany as the claret and blues continue to monitor new signing Jores Okore’s injury.

Okore limped off in the closing stages of last night’s 1-1 draw against SV Rodinghausen after appearing to pull up with a hamstring problem.

First impressions were that the injury was not too serious and that the Danish international defender was withdrawn as a precautionary measure.

Webb will link up with Paul Lambert’s first team squad today at their training base near Marienfeld after confirming his call-up on Twitter.

The Stourbridge-born defender, who can play at full-back and centre-half, tweeted: “On my way to the Airport to meet up with the first team in Germany!”

I doubt he said anything that coherent if he's from Stourbridge.

Parker signed for QPR didn't he?

No, I'm sure Harry would like him though. He'd be great at that level.

He's currently the focus of rival bids from QPR and the Hammers, according to The Times.

I believe he has. I seem to recall when I was at uni (so 1999-2002) there was an inevitable loss to Man Yoo and Neville scored, which was a particular humiliation when taking the gyp off my Yorkshire-raised Man Yoo fan housemate.
