I make fun of Americans for saying that the Super Bowl champion are called "World Champions" or the baseball championship is called the "World Series." Just sayin.....

C'mon switch on you fcuk wits. There are 14, mostly blonde birds, wearing not alot running around often touching each other on my 55 inch HD tv and they think im interested in the sporting spectacle.
Genius if you ask me.

I am gutted that the three teams who give their fans "clappers " all lost on the telly this weekend , two of them to last minute goals.

150m for mbappe, 40m for Martial, 70m for James Rodriguez, 52m for mendy, 40m for Bakayoko, 50m for Bernardo Silva, 40m for Fabinho. And that's just the ones I remember. Plus champions league money.

Sounds like we should pay 20m to hire their scouts

Marriner is a villa fan so can do no wrong in my eyes

Sounds like his refereeing is on a par with our players playing

Don Goodman in commentary on the Bolton/Baggies game:

"Gary O'Neil got himself inside Keiran Gibbs there..."

Oooo matron! Carry On Up The Macron

I hope Sandwell don't make a big deal of the blatant handball for a penalty that wasn't given .

Derby sign Ashley Cole. Wonder what wages he's on.

Derby sign Ashley Cole. Wonder what wages he's on.

Whatever it is he would probably have almost swerved his car off the road at such a derisory offer. "£60k a week ! Do you know who I am" etc etc

I do rate Kieran Gibbs, he could easily play at a half decent premier league side. Not sure why he’s in this league

 

[danvilla2]

If only we had two better full backs like Smethwick in Gibbs and Holgate then we’d be sat on 50 odd points too.

Just watching them play, Gibbs is about 30 yards further up the pitch than the Hegazi/Dawson back line. Taylor looks like a toddler on some reigns attached to Chester when he plays for us. What I notice is by doing that, Gibbs takes the right winger away and give Barry quite a bit of room in there with a player out of the way to find a pass.

Basically, our full backs kill us.

The Debate - Sky - tonight .
Merson / Lescott / Sherwood

Could be interesting

 

[OVB]

Who does the punditry on the televised womens games

Big Ron and Andy Gray

 

[Silhillvilla]

Merson is getting better with age as a pundit.

Merson is getting better with age as a pundit.

He couldn’t have got any worse to be fair

Shame Tesco bags won tonight. I don't generally look at other clubs and get pissed off.

But it annoys me immensely that they were so poor last year got relegated had quite a few player changes and yet are looking like going straight back up . And i genuinely think they will make top 2. This while we continue to fanny around making cluster after cluster and look a million miles from going up. It really is incredible how we can keep getting it so wrong . All we can do is hope that Smith and the new owners will finally get things right. I mean if Tin pot Tesco bags can, surely to god we can...
