Danny Simpson aswell.

who are england playing in the friendly?

i can't for the life of me think why we're playing against the faroes. all that game can bring is negative or neutral headlines.

hows bannan been looking in the premier league? can't say i've seen anything of him...

[ampersand]

Bannan set up Villa's goal against Blackpool and Fulham and according to a Villa fan I know could be a great player if he is played every week.

[spwan-of-the-devil]

well i look forward to it!

he seems to have come from nowhere!

[eFestivals]

Anyways Stoke Vs liverpool.. another draw I feel!

Pullis would say the result depends on whose side the ref is playing for.

True, but then you could level that accusation at almost every striker in the league. Bar Torres, Drogba and Rooney, almost every srikers record drops off badly against the top sides.

[ralph250]

I agree that drogba is a true big game player. However I have always found rooney a bit hit and miss againt the top premiership sides. I can remember him doing pretty well against arsenal but cant remember him being effective against the other 2 members of the traditional top 4 liverpool and chelsea. I suspect ralph will have stats to suggest im talking bollocks!

[Langdale Wolf]

Surely worthy of a mention?

So Fabio - Wrong-Phillips or Jarvis? Do you stand by your policy of picking players who are both playing regular football and on form?

[pink_triangle]

Thats about what I expected, hit and miss is probably a fair description. I remembered him having little impact against liverpool when I have seen him, but surprised the stats are that bad.

[pink_triangle]

Yeah, goalscoring wise could be much better against Liverpool. Those stats don't always tell impact on a game though, or if heavily involved in a buildup without getting the assist/goal. eg, Rooney played the ball to Giggs to cross to Scholes in the 2-0 in 2006 and the ball out to Fletcher to put the cross in for Parks winning goal last year (the 2-1 at OT)

[Cardboard Box City]

Tell you what, that Downing's shite isn't he?!

I mean the way he's been sticking quality ball after quality ball in to the box has been f**king terrible.

As I type he's just made Villa's second.

KNOW NOTHING c**tS.

Bloody Man U :angry: still, if we beat sunderland tomorrow we go at least 5pts clear again

[Cardboard Box City]

Sickens me as well, everyone says he's shit and they haven't even seen him play for Villa this season, he's been fantastic

[ralph250]

Smalling gets in the squad cus what? He's a f**king Man U player

F***ing shocking against Sunderland, they're playing us off the park Our form has been terrible for the last 5 games

[pink_triangle]

I think picking boothroyd is ridiuclous. He isnt exactly a 20 year old up and coiming superstar. So what if he is top scorer in the championship. So were ebanks blake, ellington, king, cureton etc. None who are close to international standard.

i however think picking smalling makes sense. For too long england have persisted with your traditional "english centre back" like terry, carragher and upson. They may be good at tackling and heading but have no skill, no passing ability, no pace and generally just send the ball straight back to the opposition. I dont know much about smalling but surely he is a better option than a brute like shawcross.

You dont watch Shawcross week in week out do you? Yes I am a Stoke fan that has a season ticket!
