Pilko

He was the worst of the bunch at Stevenage, I thought. A thoroughly gutless display.

My dad's mate always used to say that whenever he had to go down the training ground when Souness was manager (he worked for a company that did renovation or something) the players always seemed to just be larking around and it was Saunders standing watching.

I can exclusively reveal the first conversation between Pardew and JC this morning: Pardew: So JC, what do you think of Wayne Routledge? JC: He's shit

SSN reckon Bent's replacement will be Jay Bothroyd

p/a = per annum (year)

you're all thick as fuck and I'm a bloody genius

Stupid transfer, Reina's in good form.

that's what I was thinking, strangely enough.

Colo might not be able to jump but he sure can swim.

That's what I was going to point out.

Brilliant news, welcome back JC.

This is fucking dire. All Clem does is make jokes about him and Danny Mills being bald ffs, every fucking time. Also, he can't talk to the camera without wobbling his head around, it's wicked funny.

Our main problem is - and has been for two years - scoring goals. I don't care if Bent does absolutely nothing else, if he weighs in with one in every two for us, I will be well pleased. Our match yesterday was a perfect example, chances missed all over the shop. A goalscorer isn't the difference between us getting relegated (which we're clearly not going to, even without Bent, trust me), it is the difference between mooking around like we are in the lower reaches this season and being much further up the table. Agbonlahor has been out for an op and looks rusty since coming back, Carew clearly hates Houllier and wants out, Heskey has been good this season but is in no way reliable in delivering goals, and Delfouneso is very, very promising, but it's a lot of responsbility to stick on his shoulders. I genuinely do not care if Bent has the first touch of a rapist, fuck it, we want someone who will get in the right place and put it in the net. I really like the look of Delfouenso and tend to think he'll be a first team regular for you this time next season. I just think that for all Bent's limitations, Villa have no strikers at all whose main attribute is scoring those 'bread and butter' chances at a relatively consistent rate.

Only me who thinks he'd score a lot of goals in Villa's current team?

Martins' overall goal record for us was near to 1 in 3, although that doesn't tell the full story of how good/bad he was. EDIT: 39 goals from 105 appearances. Better than 1 in 3.

Hall was more than competent when we had to use him, to the extent that in the summer I would have been happy if we'd signed him on the cheap as a fourth choice centre back.

Better hope they're not playing Nigeria or Dawson will get ripped to shreds off Martins.

You've missed the fact that Gosling's run was a similar one to Gutierrez made throughout the game (i.e. through about three players) and also missed the fact that it was quite clearly our throw in and a diabolical call from the linesman to award a Sunderland throw.

feels like a win get in a penny cheesy chips it's, it's a big metal bird i know she's my sister but it feels right goody no work today, or tomorrow or the day after thats bollix about bent like,just shit stirring damn it's ok he's not very good anyway robbie keane is vastly under rated and for a fee of 7mill and 70k a week is cheap for someone of his age.

That was nowt to do with the result though, it's worth pointing that out. Agree with what you're saying mind.

They both have big limitations, but when you consider which one is more reliable and which one compliments Coloccini better then you'd be daft not to be choosing Williamson.

The Wigan result is the one that's impressed me the most, it's a ground where an abject performance and defeat by the odd goal was pretty much a guaranteed result for me, regardless of the manager.
