Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[brian green]

Who said Its quiet. It's too quiet.   Wasn't that John Wayne just before Gabby Hayes got all the arrows of the Apache nation through his thorax?

[JD]

Well it has finished snowing  [-o< and the country is a mess. Auckland lost it's power for most of the day yesterday, the South Island came to a standstill (parts of it are still isolated with no power), but I still went for a run after work, through the snow. Bloody cold though.  8-[

Today I am worried that GB will join the Barcodes.  #-o

[ROBBO]

While i am still worried the rest of Australia is in celebration mode after beating the Nippon Empire. I am bemused how the Japanese goal was allowed, I suppose it is a worry that game officials with very little experience are allowed to officiate at such times as the world cup. Who said GB was going anywhere?

No, no. Its was Bjork.


Good to see Peter McParland could have got a game v Australia yesterday. That Ozzie frigger wouldn't have got up to complain either. Great goal from Cahill. What a player we missed out on there. But, still. We've got Gavin McCann.

[JD]

Yeah, go Gav.  :smt002  

Preferably as far away from Villa Park as possible.  [-o<

Morning JD. Morning Robbo. JD I'm worried about your kid's team. Shipping far too many goals. You seem to be a bit like Newcastle Utd in the mid 90's. Just hope the rival manager doesn't induce a Keeganesque 'I would love it' response.

[From the Doug Out]

I'm worried that next season's top song will be:

"and now you gotta believe us, and now you gotta believe us.............................we're gonna finish 10th"

followed by

"bring on the lower mid-tablers"

followed by

"we all agree Villa are bigger than Reading"

[JD]

That's a good call FTDO, it is worrying.

As for my kids team, well we are working on adopting on the getting the ball out of defence quickly and pushing up as a unit to play the other team offside. Problem we have is that as we don't have official referees, coaches of other teams don't call the offsides (Kiwi's have less understanding of the offside law than women), my kids revert to not playing it.  ](*,)  Still they have a great approach and confidence and don't get worried if they concede a goal (they just go and score two).  :smt002

[ROBBO]

A little bit like Brazil then.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Or like most teams we manage to score against.
Now that is worrying!

[ROBBO]

I agree we should try and leave our scoring to the last 30 seconds of injury time, when we do manage to score that is. Oh i'm starting to get depressed again.

[JD]

No Robbo we can't leave it that late, as that is is the time already allocated for teams to score against us, if they aren't already winning.  ](*,)

[peter w]

Does anybody have any stats for how many goals-points we lost in the last 15 minutes of a game. Proving my theory that we are an unfit team.

[bailey]

Unfit, that's worrying.

[serbentoflight]

Unfit, that's worrying.

I'm worried too, it doesn't bode well for the future...
