Gale was on SSN saying we were looking better because we had dropped the foreign players. That just about sums up his comments.

What foreign players have we dropped? I really don't believe some of the dross some people are paid to come out with.

After doing his research Gale meant for the Norwich game, Garde saw sense to drop Amavi, Traore, Guzan, Kozak, Ayew and Gestede. That's why we won.

Garde also asked Sherwood for his advice on tactics for the game.

Could be a coincidence, but Tony Gale did win the Premier League with Blackburn, playing alongside Timbo. Maybe they're mates?

Another member of the old boys club. We need more 'honest' British players like Hutton & Richardson according to them and promotion from the Championship is only possible if you apoint Allardyce, McCarthy, Warnock or some other washed up British manager. Utter bollocks.

I suspect Pulis will be available this summer so we may be in luck...

Do you have a link? Purely for research purposes.

As someone who has actually seen Brown, Arce, and Hole actually play may I enquire how a ladies mammaries would appear in that well respected organ the Free Highlands Messenger well known for its in depth articles on kilts, sporrans and vegan haggis?

Tony Gale is a fucking idiot.

I remember a few years ago someone posting audio commentary of the 4-0 win at Blackburn from either the club or a local station and one of the commentators was practically sobbing over the injustice of it all. Was that him? It was an estuary accent rather a Lancs one so could well be.

Yes, I remember that. It was him.

He's not that clever.

He always comes across as someone who's a miracle of modern gene manipulation.  He's talking bollocks.

He was on Soccer Special after that game and was adamant Blackburn would still finish above us in the league.

It was quite close in fairness but think we finished 5-6 points ahead in the end.

I also recall him being on SSN once going on about how West Ham were a bigger club than Villa.

What a fucking idiot.

I'm not aware West Ham have ever been champions of England ?  They may have won the FA Cup 3 times since we last won it BUT did as much as we'd like to get an 8th win, did winning the FA Cup make Coventry, Wigan, The Olbion and Wimbledon bigger than us ????????

Don't even start me on champions of Europe -- Oh I forgot, they did win the now defunct Cup Winners Cup 50 or so years ago.

Anybody going to let me know how many years they've spent in the elite league - I don't know, but I'd say it's nowhere near as many years as us.   Oh and one other thing, I only went to Upton Park 3 times (1976, that FA Cup game and 1983) and I'm not sorry I'll never go there again.

Sorry for the rant, but I've never forgotten that FA Cup game and how they've dined out on 1966 and being the blue eyed boys of football ever since.  I stopped watching Eastenders years ago as well !

For the past few days, I have played FM2016 as the Aston Villa manager, playing a 4-3-3 formation as per Remi Garde and I've yet to get past the end of January, without being sacked. I've re-started the game each time I've got the sack, now 6 times and tried different squad variations but the best points total I had by the end of January was 20 (lowest was 5). Just goes to show that the players we have are just as SHITE in a pc game as in real life.
