Didn't Villa have a decent start to the season apart from the 6-0? Haven't seen much to alter my prediction of them (relatively) struggling a bit this season and finishing 2 or 3 places below where they finished last year. Of course, time's on their side.

Bale looking effective again - running into a load of space again and some really dangerous crosses.

Haven't looked like getting relegated since the first few games tbh. Could arguably be looking at 10th or so.

Kiss of death. :lol: I also was just about to say Muamba hadn't impressed me. PUNDIT!

Kiss of death. :lol:

Kiss of death.

It's sometimes infuriatingly slow half an hour before a bunch of kick offs. Isn't usually bad now.

Mixed thoughts ahead of this game. We have Bolton on Wednesday but Spurs are our rivals. Draw will do.

Like the look of your top bet.

Bastard, he's in my Fantasy team. But.... :lol: :lol:

"I did not see the incident."

Dave man! you're a disturbed individual. A very funny, disturbed individual like.

I don't know, at home I think Blackpool will score. But we've conceded once in our past 5 games, and that was solely down to a big error from Howard. It's a strange one.

Campbell's injured for most of the season isn't he? And yeah, the thought of Welbeck starting regularly for them is amusing, mind it could well happen if the speculation around the terms of the loan deal is true. Gyan's by no means a bad player but I think they will be considerably weaker without Bent.

I disagree. They are completely screwed without Bent and a long-term injury to him will kill any hopes they have of progressing this season, and more than likely will see them go backwards. They're not going to magically start playing good football and passing it through the midfield - their personnel won't change much, barring a highly ambitious January window. And they're not exactly an attractive proposition.

Sensible lad not to continue with top-level playing at such an intensity. Hope he can still have a productive career within football.

Think they're about equal personally. Naturally each of us will prefer what we got, but either way, both in the top 5 left backs in the league imo. Cole, then Evra obviously clearly out in front.

Yes. 2-3 in the last second with a goal that shouldn't have counted. You implying something? Get out.

Although Richards for £11m did amuse me.

Apart from one of the top 5 left backs in the league like.

Fucking kicking myself. 11/1 FC United, thought aye why not, few quid, then I literally forgot to do it. Nice one Jonny, agreed that there was a late goal in it.

Class!

United's defender. just decides "fuck this", and goes on a storming run forward.

2-2.

Wonder what FCUoM's ('fuck 'um') fitness will be like in these last 20 minutes. Hacked off the line, Rochdale dominating.
