Brianstorm Juve confirm negotiations with Drogba. Could be interesting as they're probably only a top class striker away from being flipping good.

Drogba is too old IMO, on his way down. He should switch to CB like Dion Dublin did

akranes "Ledge is a great athlete"

Indeed, superb commentary!

But by Premier League standards that's not much! It's the standard amount for an established first-team player. The obvious point is that Pearce isn't an established Premier League player. Although perhaps he thinks he is. I don't want to speculate on whether he is demanding big money because we do...

MmmMonsterMunch I cannot get my head round the fact Tabb is one of our best players this season. How has this happened?!

Quite. The one that always gets me is that he played on the wing for Coventry and at Centre Forward for RoI U21s!

Roberts looking effective!

Ooh wide from corner

Bloody close, bright start!

melonhead was thinking this earlier



marriappa pearce and morro

with gunter and shorey as attacking wingbacks
guthrie karacan and ledge in the middle
nhunt roberts and pog/alf up front

I imagine a team with 11 outfield players would have some dicey moments at the back

Lowton, Baker, Clark, Stevens

Villa's back four, all kids. Good matchup for Roberts who knows every trick in the book.

I have watched Villa a few times this season and some of their youngsters are impressive, athletic and technical. What they are not is experienced and composed, so hopefully if we get stuck in and play a high tempo game they will be rattled, they are playing in front of home support who see this gam...

Praying this night ends with a clean sheet

Gorkks did a great job tackling our own players on Saturday, really got stuck in

Well blow me

The highest compliment I can pay Morrison is that he has been as good as Gorkks has been hopeless

HAHAHAH

TBM

LoyalRoyalFan How about a sub now?

This is what pisses me off with McD - he doesn't make his subs at the right time

Subs always seem to be reactive rather than in anticipation of the game to come and through observation of the play thus far

A Wigan move down the left and a goal doesn't exactly surprise

It's hide behind the sofa time every time Wigan break at pace on us, Gunter & McAnuff cannot handle Beausejour and Gorkks cannot handle anyone running at him at pace
