I think we'll slaughter them as far as general play goes, but the scoreline will be closer than it should. 2-0 win with some nervy moments while it's 1-0.
Now Redknapp and Lambert have both made comments about what he cost. Did we break our wage limit for him? Don't remember seeing wages mentioned anywhere.
Someone on Twitter mentioned Villa's susceptibility to set-pieces as a possible reason for Taylor starting. Not a completely invalid point, but I want to see MYM.
I was too, but it's so underwhelming. Could have been written by anyone on here without any inside info. I appreciate that the local writers don't get much info. from inside the club, but he shouldn't make it sound like he has a riveting account of how it went down.
Starting to think an exchange like this went down...
Ashley: Getting a little annoyed with Pards coming up with excuse after excuse in the press and blaming a lack of squad depth.
DL: Yeah, he's getting on me tits.
Ashley: So here's the plan, let's give him purples out his arse, young talent, and proper depth. Tell Graham to squeeze in every Frenchman he possibly can with 20m. Sink or swim time Alan.
I'm with you. I don't see anything that cries fake immediately. Would kind of make sense for him to take to Twitter if he's frustrated and wants to get in on the NUFC twitter fun.
