No doubt that Major Major character off the SMB will still spin this into another sign of certain financial doom.

Sky Sports fact machine: Newcastle's last home win was against Liverpool in February. Villa haven't won their first away match since 1999.

If they've seriously got those flappy about things that look like Shola jumping for a header I hope people give them some shit. If there's music after a goal I want an immediate riot, or at least a sustained chorus of "What the fuckin hell was that?"

Yeah, it's hard to have an atmosphere when you've got Girls Aloud blaring in your face.

Propafan, propafan, only does what a propa fan does, Does he swing, around a scarf? Shat it mush, yer 'avin a larf, Does he take, off his shoes? Does he fuck, listen yous Look out! Here comes a Propafan! So if you are a Skyboy Shoes off or balti pie boy, Branded club watch and tie boy, You'll face a Propafaaan....

1 free transfer a week,unless he's already used it up, Sorry for the caps Yes. And -4 points for every transfer after that. So minus 4 points for 2 transfers, one for free and one costing 4 points.

NO MINUS FOUR POINTS THOUGH

Only 4000? Gonna keep mine to put on ebay as a collectors item.

I do hope he gets better, plays and scores goals. I certainly don't blame him for the injuries and he's done little to warrant a lot of the flack as well. Much like Woodgate though it just gets to the point where you've got to laugh about it.

Yeah, me too. I really hope Owen doesn't get a game. Doesn't really matter, you'd only have to watch him for 10 minutes before an unexpected gust of wind makes both his legs drop off anyway.

Fuck it, kneejerk wildcard playing time. Off you fucking go Jagielka, Nemi, Baines, Jenas, Berbatov and Carvalho, you're not fit to wear the shirt you useless overpaid twats. You too Ronaldo, although I may grudgingly take you back once your suspension's finished...

Hope so, reckon that'd be the best time for it looking at the fixtures - beatable teams, mostly at home.

After a lot of wheedling I've managed to change my shift and finish just in time to get to the ground Does mean starting work at 8:30 though and I'm back in at 5am on Sunday so I'm going to have to go easy on the pints after the match. Got a good feeling about this one, reckon there's going to be a fuckload of noise at kick off because we've had absolutely bollocks all to shout about for ages and there's a new optimism. Hopefully that'll spur the team to get stuck right in from the off and that in turn will keep the fans going in a positive feedback loop that will eventually destroy the universe, or at least slap Villa right across the face with a metaphorical big football cock.

every two years mate. Well, season before last then I mean when in the season can we expect him to be whisked away?

When is the cup like? Remember it knobbling my fantasy team as well last season.

When you look at this topic title in the board view it's truncated to "Kieron Dyer complete..." I had quite a few guesses at how that sentence might end.

Maybe for Jenas it'll be "He's behind you!"

I can understand if it's Leeds fans booing Smith or whatever, but why boo someone just because they now play for someone else? There's not been much animosity between the club and most of the players being mentioned here.

15 points from my 4 spurs and everton players, not bad. Hopefully I can regain some ground this week.

I'd say the best time to use your wildcard is about quarter of the way through the season. Use it too late and you don't get enough points out of it. By that point you can see who's getting played and who's having a good season, and your team's value will skyrocket as other managers add these form players to their squad. Worked a treat for me last year.

I've got 12 players playing this gameweek, haven't had to spend any points yet.

Deco! I choose you!

Do they have to start with a defecit of a couple of goals? Only fair I reckon.

"It's OK, I've still got Carvalho. Oh, he's conceeded 2 and got booked. Nil pwoi."

I've done utterly, utterly shit in the first game week. 16 points so far with 6 points coming off my bench. I need Ferdinand and captaion Ronaldo to work some magic here or I'm off to a rotten start. On the plus side I can field 11 players next week.
