Look how Benteke adds to the team play.

 

I love him.

 

He won't be here long, though. He's potentially - potentially - got everything needed to play at the very highest level.

 

Some of our old weaknesses - mainly defensive - on show again yesterday, but also some of the change of style. 25 passes or so prior to a Reading touch and then our second goal. That, in a nutshell, is the difference between Lambert and McLeish's approach.

I'd love Benteke here, power, hold up play, technical ability, fantastic player, suspect he'll go somewhere with higher wages on offer mind. Would be good for you if you can keep him mind, but if you go down no way you'll hold on to him.

He was a passing thought in my mind in January, especially after his transfer request. How much did Villa pay for him?

We will have a job to keep him if we stay up, there is zero chance if we go down.

 

I also don't think he's going to go anywhere based on money, he won't need to, he'll have options which make huge sense football-wise, too.

What transfer request?

Millwall, Blackburn or Wigan will be in the Europa League next season.

 

Apparently, if Chelsea come 5th and win the cup it'll go to 6th, not the runners up.

 

That would be a bummer. Where does it say that? Some ranking of importance of qualification credentials, no doubt. I thought they were trying to big up the FA Cup to keep it a credible competition, but they are usually a bit thick, so I wouldn't be surprised.

 

I think it's always been the case, just one of the finalists have always either been in the Champions League or both teams not involved in Europe, e.g. Pompey vs Cardiff

have you scored from a corner at all this season?

 

If i recall correctly, our own shocking record of not having done so in the league for something nuts like 18 months was only exceeded by yours, which was slightly worse.
