I would hardly call it terrible. The important fact was that we won the game and easily deserved to do so. Today we saw Plan B for the first time, and it was good. I just hope he sticks with it now rather than going back to type next week Incidentally, VitalVilla is a horrible little site, inhabited by drooling trolls. many trolls, but there are a few shining lights *checks to see if wife is watching over shoulder*. I only meant that if Liverpool had scored that chance in the first half an hour, when you were in disarray, I couldn't see you getting back into it. As it is, that game arrested a potential decline and then MON sorted the defence out.

Even the Liverpool performance was terrible first half, remember that passage of play when you kicked the ball off the line about three times in a row? After that, you got back to playing the same way that was effective last year. Like you say, the problem is that you have one way of playing. If it works, then it's great, if it's not working then it looks ugly and there does not appear to be a plan B. I'm on Vital Villa a fair bit (wife is Villa) and some of the criticism has been terrible, but justified. Then the same people were complaining today when it was 5-1 and Delfouneso was "only given 8 minutes to prove himself". It was 5-1! Some people will criticise MON whatever happens.

You'll get to see Bruce crying about that match on SSN. We (Spurs) were rubbish when Keane was on the pitch in a comedy 433 and Sunderland should have stuffed us today. Harry needs to grow some balls and drop Keane. Bent dived a la Rooney for the penalty too.

So, Europe, shitty homer refs, Roma and Marseille getting comedy decisions. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

2-1 was result of the century since it must've been 2 versus 11. Don't forget Pepsi & Shirlee

A quote from Vital Villa: "Beye you fucking shit twat, what a shit fucking signing, and what a shit decision to play him there. Christ." Hmmm.

Yeah, at that point they'd raised their game and looked like they'd judged it beautifully. Heheheh.

Much funnier for them to score then let one in than a 0-0. Come on Lyon, finish them off.

Heehee

What a goal man.

No yeah, definitely. It's the fact this happened in supposedly the highest level of football that I find scary. These clowns might be calling stuff like this in the knockout stages next. There's an easy contrast for a potential case study in the very same game even! See Marseille's first. Again, three players offside but goal was perfectly valid and this time correctly given. Marseille and strange decisions.....

The Puma material has been terrible too. Compare it to the Kappa - that I've been wearing for years - and it's laughable. BodyArmour?

Our (Spurs) recent Puma kits have been terrible quality. Kappa were mint, and the new Umbro Man City strips are excellent. I'd love us to get Adidas though, so if you guys fancy giving up Adidas we can move in.

Just get her to strip at 5pm - guaranteed full house.

Villa score from open play shock! They've been miles better than Wolves this half. Edit: blatant penno.

I get far more pleasure than I should from seeing "Hulk" on the score sheet.

FWIW, Doncaster looked good against us (Spurs) and I think had a couple of players missing. We did play a second string side, with a weird defence, but they were quick and fluid going forward. They made plenty of chances, but didn't really have a centre-forward worth the name. I reckon that a strong centre-mid and pace on the flanks would take them apart. Smith will be missed (I presume his suspension starts Sat). Their defence looked a little shaky under pressure, tried to play the ball out most of the time which played into our hands. Go at them hard early on, make sure whoever plays the Smith role (Guthrie?) is disciplined and try to find someone who can do a job at right wing. Ranger would be worth a start, just get him to run himself into the ground harassing their defenders.

It did show loyalty, something Gibson has shown before. How else did Bryan Robson last so long?

Altidore on. Where are you Mike? Yankees winning too!

Hull are terrible. Jimmy Bullard now on - if he gets injured/is shit then they can kiss goodbye to the remotest hope of staying up.

One great insult about page 13 or so.

They won, didn't they? So were Denmark crap or just unlucky? Got bored so stopped watching. I think they just didn't care, they're through already.

Watching Denmark v Hungary, for no particular reason. Jesus, Hungary are bad.

Beckham did fine, he's only ever going to play that sub role and at least he can keep the fkn ball. SWP was terrible until late on, Barry hit two lovely passes for the goals but gave the ball away far too many times apart from that, and he and Lampard were picking the ball up far too deep. Johnson will get mullered by a decent team. Thought Milner did well - decent utility player with no illusions about his ability. Crouch and Agbonlahor didn't really work at all (goal notwithstanding), Crouch looked far better when Beckham came on.

Why do people get so down on a team when they're playing with ten men? They're playing with ten men ffs, of course they're going to look a bit s****. You can't make too much of a judgement call on how they're going to play.
