completely agree...we're in a relegation battle.....no win in the last 9 matches....three tough games coming up, its roll your sleeves up time

ffs, we we're the best team by a good margin 1st half it was a case of Villa taking the entire 1st half to get going..once they did it was a familiar theme, we lost shape, belief and were cluecless

Ok the first 10 mins apart.......we didnt really do much else after that....the 2nd half was a complete joke though and quite frankly its unnaceptable.

Utterly pathetic and poor performance right from the off: Why he chose to play Carr at left back is beyond me....gave a 90 minute performance of utter ineptness....the same applies for Given, Butt, Barton and Smith. We all knew fully well that Villa rely on set pieces so its beyond me why KK overlooked Faye and Enrique. Can't see us picking up anything from our next 3 fixtures......its very worrying at the moment

Yep they should all be back during the start of this week!!

Haven't we already got an Academy director? Would rather Keegan concentrated on getting a quality number 2 in........Martin Jol perhaps?

I think it will be Harry Redknapp.....I really can't tink of anyone else who it may be, other than Mourinho

sh!t: realistically it will be Ian Harte

I'm going for Ben Haim (or Andrade) Realistically it will be someone crap

Was at the Bolton match on Boxing Day, I was impressed with Edgar, did the simple things really well (positioning, tackling etc) needs to beef up and improve his distribution but for his age he is good (very impressed )

Hall of Fame Thread tbh

Werder Bremen But from that group the two better (or best) sides were Barca and Chelsea

What makes this draw better is that the two best teams from every group qualified, can't think of a good team that missed out?

You could look a little silly come the date of the final. I like the look of Valencia this season. Good outsiders IMO, will be fresh aswell. They have a lot of players injured at the moment Edu and Regeuro(?) out for the season, plus they have about 8 who are due back in the next 5 weeks or so. Definitely the best Valencia squad in many many years. Watch out for Silva, Spanish version of SWP at his best.

On loan?? hmmm SWP Perhaps?

awesome goal!! Kinda similar in a way to Rivaldo's overhead kick a few years ago awesome goal!! Kinda similar in a way to Luque's overhead kick a few years ago

awesome goal!! Kinda similar in a way to Rivaldo's overhead kick a few years ago

Remember the classic team you had in the late 90s - Karpin, Mostovoi, Revivo, Makelele, Gustavo Lopez and Catanha.... Feckin Awesome football team

ps Always remember to bring ya scarves to every home game!

Lyon have a lot of injured strikers at the moment (Govou, Fred etc) don't think he will be sold

What about Steven Pressley? Will be available come January IMO. Does anyone rate him?

My Team V Arsenal 451 Given Ramage Taylor Moore Duff Dyer (RM) Milner (LM) Butt Parker Zoggy Martins

Championship players. If Babayaro plays, he'll get taken to bits. He'll only be up against Eboue and Hleb, its the RB I would worry about, he'll be up against Henry, Rosicky(?) and Clichy

Why doesn't everyone do what they do in Spain and wave the white hankies at the end of the match?

They dont have a depth of talent in their squad, they more or less play with the same team, they got no-one who can come on and change things. If Kaka and Pirlo don't play well then they're pretty much fucked
