Well, I think confidence is shot. So Gerrard has to fix that. We've got to put in a good performance v Brighton, bag all 3 points and keeping working.

I'm trying to take a wider view to this situation. As long as we don't completely collapse and get relegated, the remaining games should be used to keep trying to implement the style Gerrard wants to play, even if it means we lose every 2nd or 3rd game. If some of the players can't adapt, they should be moved on in the summer. Like it or not, Gerrard will be the manager next season. We've got to give him the time to build the team he wants. Fingers crossed it works out.

Yikes, some of these injuries described here are sickening. I used to think this was bad. Saw it live on TV.

UEFA considering moving the CL final out of St Petersburg. Maybe the FA should chain the gates at Stamford Bridge!

Sorry I went MIA, chaps. Glad to see people have stuck with it.

There are some really excellent channels on YouTube, encompassing all types of subjects. What are some of your faves?

Apparently Dodik and other Serbs are pursuing seccession to avoid legal trouble, which is even worse of a reason than just tribalism. It's beyond cynical.

Well, Brady wasn't go to play for us for eternity...I'm just relieved that it's looking like Jones has what it takes to be a good pro quarterback at the very least, and that we found him so soon after Brady left. But the story of this 5 game streak is the defense. 13 points total allowed over the last 3 games. So the pieces are falling into place for a SB run. Great defense. Power running game. Precision low risk passing game and good special teams. And sputtering AFC teams laying down the welcome mat.

Well, good. I could very well have misread Mings and Buendia's body language. I'm happy to be enlightened on the matter. I also hope you aren't quite so quick to assume the absolute worst about your fellow Villa Talkers in the future.

Why, are you racist? (Obviously just kidding)

Then if you think I'm talking nonsense, try telling me so without trying to turn me into a Klan member. You are not an arbiter here. If you are going to make that kind of accusation, which is one degree short of being called a pedophile, you'd better be sure it fits a pattern of posts, or leaves no room for misinterpretation. Because it doesn't meet either criteria, I think you owe me an apology.

I don't blame you @Wainy316! Ridiculous

Lexicon, I don't have to explain anything to you just because you've wildly misinterpreted something. Or are you just puffing out your chest here as a show? As someone else has mentioned, the fact that YOU have interpreted the comment like you have makes YOU look like the one with dodgy ideas in your head. Why bring race into it at all? I included Buendia in the post as well, but you've cherry picked it to suit your inflamatory narrative. Mings was recently dropped and was seen scowling on the bench. Buendia stormed off the pitch down the tunnel. Both examples of inflamed egos. I mentioned it here because it's the Mings thread. You have really overstepped a line here. I've been a member of VT for 16 years and if you'd bothered to get to know me at all, you'd know what a stupid charge that is. Unbelievable.

Wow. Really irresponsible statement. Have a word.

I can take or leave what Lanois is doing here, but Brian Blade's drumming is...exquisite.

25-0 4 sacks, 4 picks Who wants some?

Hoping this is a fresh start for Matt and that he makes it count.

Will be interesting to see if Tyrone suppresses his ego appropriately with no nonsense task master not-your-friend Gerrard as boss. Buendia as well. Both players have shown flashes of petulance recently.

Lsmpard will bomb out of management sooner rather than later.

Yep. And this time they'll have full Russian support along with Belgrade.

Well earned cynicism there, but for me football is about hopes and dreams, and because a game is yet to be played in the SG era, I'm going to let my imagination run wild and have fun doing it. I'll hold my cynicism for later.

Growing fears that Bosnia is on the verge of breaking apart. Predictable and sad if it happens. Plenty of hard line paramilitary nutters waiting to have another go.

Annoyed that nobody asked Lange what their January transfer plans are.
