I don't see the word Net ysed in that Goal story. Has Net been mentioned elsewhere? Jesus these figurs are eye watering. TalBen Heim like.

how does that work then?

massive game. Villa are my red hit favs to go down after the woeful showing at our place. Lose to them and my confidence will be knocked big style. Can't wait for the game. Have we sold out yet? Kind of looking forward to waching from that side stand as it will feel like a new ground almost.

why the need for a BVI loan then?

better, but that doesn't mean we won't still be up **** creek if we get relegated.

Were the Buttner transfer rumours really true?I was surprised we were looking for a left back seeing as it was clear Shaw was going to get games. Maybe they weren't ever looking for a left back, hence no interest in Bridge. I'd of taken him. He only looked poor when dropped in at teh deep end having played no games at all. Most players need games to get fully match fit.

I am quite concerned by the latest transfer rumours. I was concerned the moment BVI loans were mentioned. We've spent a bloody fortune already, yet still there are noises of further £10m players. You don't bring a player in for £10m and then pay him peanuts. I wonder how much STs will be next year?

not really. It's an opinion, no more no less.

Fonte, Yoshida and Clyne haven't recieved as much stick as Jos on here. Jos has hardly played in the last few months so the other players will have come under the spotlight more. Jos has been slated right left and centre. I think I've been pretty much the only one on here saying that "he'll do just fine" since he was dropped. He'll make mistakes, all players do, but he'll do a decent job until Fonte returns. He's a big centre back. That's why he wins so many headers. With size you tend to have to sacrifice mobility. I've never seen a comment about his lack of fitness before. What's you obsession with his failure to prevent the best striker in the division from scoring? when he joined us the immediate result was that we looked a million miles more solid, improving Fonte's game as well. own goals are an occupational hazard for defenders. so he doesn't communicate now? Tell me another. I certainly forgot, probably perhaps because it never happened. In the WBA and Spurs games we were a total shambles. No sign of Jos in either game. He had a decent game keeping Carroll extremely quiet. When we play them again I know which centre back I'd want to mark him. They should be looking where each other are. But do they only make mistakes when Jos plays? rubbish, he was outstanding last season and his defensive ability was fundamental to our promotion. Save the rewriting of history for the skates.

as they have him for the season, I didn't think they needed to.

£4m seems to be a price both sides fans are more than happy with

Spot on. Villa conceded 8 to them a week or two ago and looking at the highlights they could easily have matched that against QPR. Absolutely no embaressment conceding 5. We didn't play our best and they were right on the money.

certainly makes you think when faced with a £50 ticket price and god knows how much in fuel costs.

they weren't that bad yesterday either. Much better defenders. Ivanovich, Cahill and Luis had great games. Chahill looked as good as I've ever seen him.

I've said all along that he was written off far too quickly on here. The players around him, the shape and formation of the side and the tough opposition need to be factored in to early season performances. He had a very good game at West Ham and Stoke and given the opportunity he will do a decent job for us going forward. Scoring own goals and conceding a penalty doesn't make him a poor player. He's no world beater but he will be fine. Perfect player to mark Benteke on Saturday. People forget what a massive impact he had on our promotion season. He was outstanding and fundamental to our promotion.

Big Dave falls off the "must buy premiership experience" posters christmas card list. I don't often agree with him, but both would be on my shopping list.

No, we have Butterfield ready and waiting. Prize for anyone that can explain why we offered him an extension to his contract. Madness.

thanks for reminding me of these two pieces of play. Shaw really is top class. He is the only player that might have a sniff at getting in that Chelsea side. Sadly that might become a reality.

thank god. Was anyone else mentioned?

QPR linked with Cahill, Keane and Anelka.

who? Never heard of him. Ever considered a career in football scouting?

Guly's corners have been better than anyone else's this season. Lallana's are poor. Can we get Chamberlain back, his corners were the best I've seen at SMS.

they look really good to me. Isn't the whole point of getting promoted is to be able to pit you wits against the best? Stop worrying about relegation and enjoy the ride. Everyone keeps telling me the finances are rock solid no matter what, so there is nothing to fear.

I don't care how many times Earnshaw, Djourou, Sordell and Benayoun have looked **** against other Premiership sides. We need to aim higher than them if we are considering adding to our wage bill.

kind of like Walsall away as a result of which meant our play off hopes were hanging by a thread?
