Christ, hope its the main match on Football First as I don't think I saw more than 3 mins without the stream dropping out. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: I have got a stinking headache from frustration when I should be over the moon. :shock: :? :roll:

Hopefully we will now go on and win all our League games until the scousers and at least keep going in the CL and get to the semis of the FA cup. Things might look a bit better by mid April.

Nurse where are my pills. :oops:

In fairness to West Brom, their midfield is good, they create lots of chances normally. Problem is their back 5 plays as badly as Derby County did last season, mistake after stupid mistake and only till Jan did West Brom get a strikeforce worthy of the name
Chunky Monkey wrote:tbh i rate scott carson he is a good keeper - fucking wasted at the baggies wouldnt mind him at the Arsenal to challenge Almunia if we can get him for under £5m
Yes, that was exactly what I was thinking with his fantastic performance against Croatia, or Germany. :wink: Carson is a half decent shot stopper, that is all and only would only take him as 3rd choice if West Brom paid us 5 million
yeh thats because he is playing for a shit club, He was excellent last season for Villa and i was suprise they didn't sign him also he's league form got an england call up and also Liverpool must of seen something in him
last season, Villa conceded a lot. This season, not conceded much. Now I somehow doubt Zat Knight was the difference
Chunky Monkey wrote:i thought it was the fact - the Barry deal fell through so out of spite Benetiz sold him to WBA instead of Villa - and i think for under £5m he would be a great signing still young and is the sort of goalie to challenge Almunia
Villa had an option to buy him, they decided to negotiate the price down and in the end, only Stoke and West Brom were interested in the fee Liverpool were willing to sell him for. Villa instead got in a better keeper and in Guzan, somehow with potential who can perform for his country

If he is gonna play him ot of position like he did with Diaby then I'd rather him be left on the bench. At least Ramsey has played on the right in several occasions.
I think due to Merdia's lack of strength is why he is being used on the left so often, this way he gets game time without being kicked off the park.

Songs first 4 involvements in the game -

1. Within 1st minute song gets a ball and looks to pass to arshavin who is makinh his run across the 18yd line. Of course song's "pass" went straight out over the sideline about 20 yards away from arshavin :roll:

2. In the very next minute song gets a ball in midfield about 10 yards outside their box, dallies about on the fcuking and is robbed of possession and wba launch an attack.

3. The next ball he gets (score still 0-0) he looks to pass to bedtner who is making a run forward but the only problem is that the "pass" is so far ahead of him a bloody greyhound wouldnt catch the fcuking thing

4. A 50/50 ball breaks in midfield, our midfielder "enforcer" goes for it, hangs in a leg and of course they come away with the ball :oops:

This man is a joke pure and simple. He is a much bigger embarassment to this club than eboue and the rest of them combined and as much as lethal wants eboue executed I personally want song "taken out"

Indeed.
Agreed!
If you want someone with less flair and more grit in the wide role to balance the team (like Parlour and Ljungberg) then Ramsey's your man.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
wasnt entirely sure, i know you can on some bets, i suppose only if advertised as a money back special.
That's funny I thought you could. the ladbrokes sheet from last night says that if you do a scorecast and the first goalscorer (of that cast) does not take part or comes on after the first goal is scored then it wild be settled as correct score single. On the first/last scorer section it just says Ladbrokes Football rules apply
