Club that cannot stop scoring lets yesterday's man go forth.

[Villa in Denmark]

I missed out a a juicy first goalscorer/correct score double during Euro 2000. It would have come in  particularly handy at the time as it was a Friday, I was pretty skint and pay day wasn't until Monday. France 3 Denmark 1 I had. Last couple of minutes and it is 3-0 to France when Denmark get a penalty. My first goalscorer pick had already done the business for me. The game is already lost so there is no pressure and he just has to tuck in a consolation goal and I am quids in. The twat missed. I must be starting to get over it though as after years of slagging him off I have forgotten the players name.

Former toon flop Jon Dahl Tomasson.

Denmark's record goalscorer as well.

Bent missing that penalty today meant I missed out on an acca worth £176. The bastard.

Fair play to Darren Bent, 14 goals in 21 games this year in the championship with Brighton and Derby. You would have got long odds on that after his form for the 2 years previous to that. Might well have earned himself a move to a top division club in the summer but it wont be with us.

Ironically, McClaren rescued the careers of Bent and Tom Ince at the same time his side started to fall apart. Maybe the likes of Chris Martin offered more without the ball. But changing his side to bring the likes of Shotton and Warnock into the full back positions was crazy stuff.

Bent and Ince did their jobs. McLaren and some of the other players didn't do theirs in the last three months. It was quite some fall - worse than Villa's top to sixth between Jan and spring '99 under Gregory.

And yet they only won 7 of those 21 games.

ah the Darren Bent conundrum. He'll score goals given the perfect set up, but the rest of the side will be facing 11 players while Dazza waits for his chances to appear.

Perhaps he found his level? Championship.

Yes, the conundrum could not be better demonstrated than what has happened at Derby.  Personally success for Bent but the team has possibly got worse.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him pitch up at Smethwick.

Blame McLaren and Newcastle fluttering their eyelashes at 'im. You've never a nice word to say about Darren, not one!

[PeterWithesShin]

I've said plenty of good stuff about Bent in the past.

Sorry. Wrong information.

[eamonn]

Just not since Lambert finished with him.

If they can sign Kanu and Anelka, Bent would be a positively forward thinking signing for them.

So we're agreed that your previous post was totally incorrect.
