Why go in two footed in the box?

Hate to bring negativity into what's been a great day but the lad just isn't good enough. Defensively he's just about acceptable for a mid table side, going forward he offers nothing. If we're going to progress I really think we either need to get a left back and move Santon over or buy another right back. Nice lad and grateful for what he's done for the club in his time here but he's not good enough if we want to push on.

They set the transfer window alight, why do they all think their players are rubbish now? I don't understand.......... lol

Match abandoned. They ran out of jellied eels and heroin in the concourses.

Does Shola have kids already? He needs to get on with it if not otherwise once Sammy retires we may end up without an Ameobi on the books.

Come on Fulham!

That Herd kid for Villa has had the shit kicked out of him tonight. Stoke have been pretty brutal on him, going off on a stretcher now by the look of it.

Shola scoring against Barca again would be legendary. edit: decided to have a look at his goal again after this and a quick google search turned it up, uploaded by 'supersewelly'

It's THEIR, Ruud, THEIR ffs

Bloody hell, what a goal from Villa.

My football life. Right there. I never expect much from games involving Stoke but bloody hell, it's not one of those stupid games you play as kids, the ball is allowed to touch the ground you know.

The fixture computer is a mag kernt.

This Villa Stoke game is awful. Boring, turgid, crap.

Hughton mashing up fat sam fathead, what a great day of football it's been.

Shola is gonna be on talksport talking to Collymore shortly :frantic:

Would be good to bump that thread on there that had brummie's post in it. Just for the fact he made his sub on 75 minutes again.

So close, just needs a 'Pathetic!' at the end.

Why oh why do some managers wear shorts and footie socks? do they think they're gonna get a game? VBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

BBC has us at 4 shots, 2 on target. Need to do better 2nd half. Got faith that Pardew will turn it around though.

No, I think people have let the 4 wins on the bounce affect their expectations.. Well I did expect to beat Bolton at home. I'm just struggling with why he's gone with 442 when our 433 system was working so well. It seems a strange one to me.

Maybe he's gone 442 because Bolton are playing 5 in midfield and he's worried about us getting overrun in the middle.

Are we playing flat 4-4-2?

I would love Perch to get one today.

The intro sequence on Chinese tv for football matches has each teams flag unfurling over either a local landmark or their ground. For us and Sunderland they've done both at once unfurling over a wing of the angel of the north each. Bloody scandalous

You can't really castigate someone for having an opinion on a player anyway. If he thinks Cattermole is better than Tiote then what does it matter? Does anyone really think he's gonna change his mind because of what they say?
