Tomaszk

on the treatment table when the poll began? Southgate was far better than Mellberg

Theres no doubt our starting 11 is good enough to beat enough teams to guarantee Europe. But honestly it will be playing the very riskiest of risky risky games, in terms of injuries/fatigue/loss of form, with our season. If he gets no one in, and we then don't qualify due to injuries or suspensions or the team being ridiculously warn out, I personally will lay the blame at MONs feet.

I dont think the table is anywhere.

Laursen 6 ahead now.

Hi General, Same as BOF really. I know you don't have direct interaction on the playing side, but could you maybe clarify if we are in advanced contract dicussions with Martin Laursen? Or have they hit a bit of a brick wall? It would be devestating to us as a club to lose a player of that ability. It would set us back big time next season, no way we'd be getting these clean sheets unless we plan to buy a £15-20m defender to replace him. Thanks

I never went near this thread, thought it was just some religious argument. Having a gander back thorugh, one of the cult-ies joins!! That's funny. Over 100 posts as well. :shock:

my favourite bit? "Mikaelsson. Held the ball up really well and sometimes looks like you’d struggle to get it off him in a phone box." lovely piece of writing, I have a funny picture in my head of a Crouch like figure doing lots of stepovers in a confined space. Thanks for the report!

Hi General, Happy New Year! Just wondering, do you read the other threads on villatalk much? Maybe laugh at the mad rumours that the papers come out with and that cause big arguments on here? Or do you stick to your own thread? Thanks

cannot wait for this will be a great game, even if the play isnt all that, gonna be great fun in that away end.

good job he hasnt taken your looks nick :winkold: Great lad!

mayweather was better. ref pissed me off, kept breaking it up and refused to punish mayweather when he kept turning his back and forearming hatton in the face. id like to see how the fight would go was it in manchester, or a lightwelter weight bout. if mayweather had a clone made tomorrow and fought him, it would be the most boring fight ever, no punches thrown both fighters just on opposite sides of the ring running away the whole time. ricky was silly to get hit at the end of a few early rounds and prob get points loss in that round, it put more pressure on himself.

Knock his head off ricky!

bennett who looks about 60

Ive got 9-1 on barry to score a peno at anytime, I did fancy young to rinse their fullback and win one though so hope he plays

apparently young is doubtful, if he doesnt play, we need BIG things from Barry creatively in centre mid IMO.

Agbonlahor right? NO!! The reasons you give are valid but it doesnt matter, at the moment HE is our goalscoring threat.

He looks weak but Barry is a hulk of a man

wouldnt it be funny id Salifou was awesome now....ho ho ho

Snickers???

Some of the banter in the studio seems a lot more rehearsed and staged to me. Not as natural or as funny as normal.

Rooney and Ashton when fit should be front 2

Calzaghe would batter Hatton..........the fact that hes about 5 stone heavier doesnt matter at all I prefer Hatton myself, I love the way he is, met him once before and just seemed such a top bloke.

exactly, do you want him to win the premiership with Leicster? He took them as far as they could go, winning 3 trophys with a team like that is a very good achievement.

Mourinho is an awesome manager. He makes big big calls. But I think MON is the man to take us forward. Similarly to Mourinho he will not be forced into making decisions he doesnt want to and has a plan and sticks to it. I just prefer MON. Jose's Porto team did some great things way beyond them, but lets face it they had some seriously talented players. While he was doing that, MON was taking a small amateur local team and solidifying their place in the football league (I know these achivements were at different times, but in the context of the managers career's, very similar both being near the beginning), and taking Leicster into the prem. Different acheivements. Could MON have taken Porto to champions league? Id imagine not. Could Mourinho take a non-league team in ENgland into the football league? Id imagine not.

The amount Abramovic understands about football could probably lead him to trying to get O'Neill. "Hmmm lets see, ooo that little irish man just beast my team, he must be a good amnager I will buy him"
