1983? Wasn't that the saintly Kevin's former team's year?

I've watched a European Cup Final. Can you guess which year it was? EDIT sorry. Couldn't resist. High on the result of the day. I think I'll go to bed now.

I wish we'd stick him on the right and Maloney on the other side. Maloney is a player who deserves a better crack, he is quality.

I remember a period, maybe at the start of last season when he was at Villa, didnt he give away something like 4 penalties in 5 games. I just seemed to remember everyweek, he made some major mistake. I think he conceded one against us at SJP Am sure Brummie will remember Indeed. He wasn't so much an own goal specialist as a penalty-giver. To be fair, i thought he did ok at the start of MON's first season, and rumour has it that the reason he got dropped was that MON wanted him to get into the habit of putting the ball into the Holte Upper, whereas Ridgewell wanted to play it out of defence. Still, whatever the disagreement, nobody really deserves a fate quite that terrible.

On that subject, did you see Agbonlahor's interview? I think he's possibly the most boring, monotone lad on the planet. You'd think someone had just died rather than him scoring the winner in a local derby. He starts every sentence with "definitely"

That Joe Hart is an eloquent chap, isn't he? Refreshing to see.

Isn't Dr Spec just saying that Portsmouth are on form at the moment, more so than city who were shite in their last away game?

I really do hope his brothers are anywhere near as good. Here's hoping. Harry Forrester made his debut for our reserves the other day, apparently. Played well.

Poor Darius. He's a good lad, as well. Always gets a fair amount of stick when he comes back to our place (mainly due to his habit of scoring), but he's always very respectful when he does so. Never celebrates. And he's another Aston boy as well. Some of our fans are f****** morons. doh!!! Can't say I'm suprised he missed that. He is a bit shit. I don't know what he's doing on the pitch tbh. Don't know what happened then, as not watching the match, but I will say that when in one on one situations with the goalkeeper, I'm struggling to think of a worse striker to wear the claret and blue.

I haven't mentioned what a fucking great player Ashley Young is yet today. So here it is. He's a fucking great player. All over the shit in the first half, quiet in the second, the pops up with that fantastic ball in for the winner. And he also knows how to celebrate a winning goal against hated rivals. By eating a young lady's arm, of course. http://www.avfc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/bc/dc/0,,10265~3464380,00.jpg

Spurs will finish top ten, no problem. Isn't football great? Who'd have made such a weird statement a week before the season started.

I'd be seriously pissed off having to stay inside the stadium for an hour and a half, especially as i presume they aren't serving pints or exactly being party hosts. Mate texted me from the ground. When Gabby scored the winner, there was a hail of gob, coins and god knows what coming down from the six toed ones in the tier above.

thought it would but especially after the goal in the last 5 minutes Tensions have been running very high for this one. Our chairman's right hand man using language which suggested he was referring to (the admittedly porcine) David Gold as "a pig" didn't help. Although it was very funny.

Villa fans still locked in at St Andrews, 90 mins after the end, apparently. Kicking off outside, big style.

Nice one mate. Did you go? No, not enough away match credits to get a ticket, and to be honest, not worth it for all the trouble there will be. Was thinking on full time how glad I was not to be in that away end waiting to come out and be greeted by the hordes of scum. Few mates of mine have gone in the home end, under cover. Look forward to hearing their reports later.

Afternoon, all. And what a particularly beautiful afternoon it is, too.

Reminds me of that Not The Nine O Clock News sketch. "Savage, would I be correct in assuming that Mr Kodogo is a coloured gentleman?"

I watched our match here in Solihull with me mate who is Blues fan. I must admit I felt a huge sense of relief when the final whistle went and I looked at him and thought he has another 24 hours to wait before he goes through all this. Awful matches they are Where in Solihull did you watch it? I'm so glad I don't live in Solihull any more. The place is absolutely crawling with 'noses. Did you ever stumble across Fat Barry Austin, the world's most famous blue nose? Just at home in Shirley I believe Garry Sprake used to live down my road - he may still do for all I know. I havent come across him, no. Is he from around here ? He's Britain's fattest man, and a bluenose season ticket holder. He used to live on the corner of Hay Lane, in Monkspath. I used to see him a lot (I used to live off Frankholmes Drive) - he's your archetypal nose. There was a program about him on a few years back, fuck me what a state to get in to. I know. Things have got pretty fucking desperate when your only outlet in life is sitting on your two season ticket seats at that pig hole every fortnight.

Lives in Chelmsley now, used to live with his mom in Monkspath.

Tough one tomorrow mate. blueyes.gif Any thoughts on a scoreline? 1-0 or 2-0 to them, I fear. They get more pumped up for these matches than we do. They always seem to want it more.

I didn't see the match today, so can't comment on the performance, but I thought most people on here were saying that if they were offered a draw beforehand, they'd take it. Looked at that way, it is a point, and one of the more difficult points you're going to get this season.

I for one am shitting myself this evening. Barely paid any notice of the other games today. I hate derbies.
