You think McGinn should be stripped of the captaincy because he got a 45 minute flight to Dublin? I genuinely can't tell if you're taking the piss or not.

It gets worse as he didn't even book a seat with extra leg room, probably because he'd have ended up beside me.

You tell me, Mystic Meg! ;)

You got me. I’m alive and well and currently living inside the mind of Gregnash. The miserable annoying fucker won’t stop face palming.

Couple of Arsenal saves in here but mainly us and Argentina. Our Emi is just superb.

Wouldn’t change a thing about Martinez. His cockiness is part of what makes him a great goalkeeper. It’s what makes him great at getting in the heads of his opponent. Jimmy Rimmer was before my time, but Martinez is the best Villa keeper I’ve seen since supporting the club. I said it to someone recently that I wouldn’t swap Martinez for any other keeper out there right now and I stand by that. He makes impossible saves, transmits assurance to his defence even with his cockiness (as well as the related entertainment value) and there is nobody else I’d want in net for any penalty situations. Nobody.
That is exactly how I see it. I wouldn’t swap him for any other keeper. I do remember Rimmer and he was superb but I think Emi is the best I’ve seen. Actually we’ve had some good GK’s over the years.

If he flew Ryanair, wouldn't he just hang off the wing like in 'Flight of the Phoenix'?

Footy what should we do, cut his other hamstring so he can't move? I really don't see the drama here. Thank ye Gods you are not in a position of power. 'He looked at a cake when on a diet'. 'TAKE HIM TO THE TREE'. I could understand if he was meant to be playing, claimed a case of the London Blitz then buggered off on the razz for a week but it's hardly lack of moral fibre material is it?

Best in the world.

Despite not having too much to do today, what he did he did exceptionally well.

Offer him 1m per week.

Brilliant. A couple of excellent pieces of sweeping up, and some good saves when needed.
