We've been to Rotterdam and everywhere,  Liverpool and Rome, but now we're throwing cabbages, cabbages at home...

Interesting thinking about all the chaos PNE caused v our 10. When Fulham went down to 10 for last 20 minutes in the play off final SB wants us to gratefully thank him for, I don't think we had a shot on target or even a corner.

PNE could've easily scored 4 or 5 in that spell. Look at all the free headers from crosses they wasted.

He was bemoaning the fact we went down to ten after the game, yet earlier in the season he said how difficult it was to play against 10 men when we drew at Ipswich.

I said to my mate as we left Villa Park last night that after the penalty and the red card, we were the footballing equivalent of a boxer who gets caught and then retreats on to the ropes just trying to hang in.  It showed again that Bruce just cannot adapt to changing circumstances in games.

Forgot about that, we barely had any shots v them and Ipswich went down to 10 men in the first half!

They'll be trotting out an ex-Blues angle before the end of tomorrow mark my words.

Talkshite had Darren Bent on this morning (around 8.45) and he wittered on that as he lives in Birmingham he KNEW that once things went a bit tough that the villa fans would make it all ,about the fact he played and Managed Blues. I nearly crashed the car - what a load of unsubstantiated shite that gets peddled.

Chris Hughton - ex blues - would have him in a heartbeat

Gary Rowett - Ex Blues - and up to recently would have taken him over many

Garry Monk - Current Blues boss - doing a pretty decent job with a load of ragged arsed rangers, reports from people I know who are ST's say the football is great but they lack a goalscorer - they got a draw at Brentford (who some of us think are Barcelona) with 10 men - I would take him right now as well

You lazy fuckwits in the media its not about being ex Blues its about being shit - it just happens the 2 we have had have been the latter

Why is it in a nightclub 'VIP' lounge?

Also, fuck me! White cabbage is dense and hard. Could have cracked a skull open. Tsk!

Fair play to the security bloke on the gate. Failing to spot a cabbage up someone's jumper is some going.

So, it must have been an inside job then!

Ha, that was my initial though!!  Think it is on the track by the hoardings, next to a ball boy on closer inspection though.

Can you imagine what Liverpool fans would say if during the course of about five years they appointed two different managers who had both been relegated whilst in charge of Everton? I doubt the fact that they had managed Everton would be their number one complaint.
