Owen will be the key for us I think, which is very worrying.

Senna from Villareal is outstanding imo. Has all the qualities you want from a defensive midfielder but when he is in the opposition half he has a great eye for a pass and gets a fair amount of goals.

Aye, players playing out of their positions. I'd love to see it. Don't see why it wouldn't work, similar to the formation KK had going, Jonas has already shown he works hard enough to play that role and I'm sure N'Zogbia would be a a threat in the advanced role. Theres no point trying to play the 4-4-2 with out and out wingers because our strikers don't suit it.

Are they playing with fire tho if they do that. I mean they could nip this whole KK thing in the bud from the off by going in a different direction. Agree but its our own fualt, they way we all raved about KK and the kick off when he left. Any new buyer will think its what every fan wants and that he is the only man for the job. I suppose one thing if he did come back we would be safe this season, we missed the KK team talk on Saturday. Aye missed that team talk. I just feel the possible new owners would have looked at the KK situation and thought "fck that, he has way to much power and influance" Yeah you could be right there, he does have a lot of say with the way he is loved BUT he will also get much longer than any other manager if things do not go right. No owner wnats to be chopping and changing managers because the fans are not happy. I am guessing though Keegan and Shearer will be the top 2 names that will be looked at first. Whoever it is has a massive decsion to make. Not sure what I would do TBH. Best thing would to be to offer KK a free hand at the club and see run the first team football side. We will give you a yearly budget to pruchase players. You can pick the first team coaches but we will manage the youth system. Pretty sure that's what he thought he was getting in the first place.

I'd like to see : Given Beye Bassong Colo Enrique Jonas Guthrie Barton N'Zogbia Martins Ameobi

Some game, would be extremely pissed off if I was a Villareal fan though. Can't believe they switched off so bad for the last 10 minutes.

4-2! Easily my favourite to watch on the planet these days.

I don't find Villa boring to watch at all. I like teams that are quite direct as long as they attack with pace like Villa do. Not surprising that the team is looking much better with proper full backs as they were always key positions in his Celtic team that he had playing so well. Carew on his day is an excellent player but they probably need another top quality forward player in the team. Probably more of a creative type.

3-2!

Watching Villareal v Atletico, fucking hell 0-2 to Atletico first half then 2-2 within 10mins after restart. Banega sent off end of first. Fucking love watching Villareal.

I think they can win it. If they are beating the likes of Chelsea without Torres then they are certainly up there with a chance. They seem a lot calmer than last season and more together as a team.

Smells like this is sealed already.

Think they are wrong to sack Ramos, Comolli yes without doubt but should of kept Ramos. Still it will probably mean more dropped points for them so happy days. Glad we don't have to see Poyet spouting shite on motd anymore too.

If Keegan had been able to make the signings in the positions he was wanting then we would potentially have a very good side. That's the really pissing off thing for me.

Got a £50 risk free bet at sportingbet so bet £50 on aston villa -1 at 2.6.

Nice one Simmsy, think I'm gonna have to stop this betting lark as it's winning me sweet fuck all this season!

£20 on Chelsea -1 Barca and Shaktar to win.

MAnU fans getting completely outsung as usual.

Did he actually say that?

honestly. Huh? Do you disagree? No mate . just can't believe some one used that word on this forum. I thought that was a f***ing brilliant performance. Especially the much maligned Duff Duff also did his bit organizing the team. He and Geremi were well on top of things in our box shouting and getting players to mark up. top marks to Joe for stirring them up and getting inside their heads. aye thats a good point. Duff on the left and Geremi on the right really put in a fantastic shift tonight. I would have Geremi at right back when Beye is out.

Duff MOTM for me.

Very good performance. Ref is an utter cunt and I hope that red doesn't count.

Bit gutted to say the least.

Why? I want to justify it to myself as I feel a bit bad for Xisco. Just tactics I think, we will most likely be punting and hoping form here on in, with a big physical presence we can maybe cause more problems than a smaller guy would. Simple I know but we need basics right now.
