Thank goodness it s no one here's decision, Gazza has no doubt impressed in training enough to push Kelvin out from between the sticks and his perfrmance Saturday gives Nigel no reason to drop him. "Cheers Gazza the fantastic fans here have got moist at Boruc turning up so you are back on the bench if you are lucky, especially as Kelvin is Super we might wheel you out in the cup again but well done lad your chance will come when the old boys get crocked, but we will run it pastt the crowd first"! Jeez!!

Gazza will start Boruc has only just come into the building, and as we have seen with all the new signings none of them have breezed straight into the side. Kelvin will be in tomorrow. If Boruc was in that great shape someone would have had him in their squad before now and he would not be a free agent. I thought the chat was that he IS the 3rd keeper, so it's up to him to get a space. Gazza's kick outs on Satuday were pretty damn accurate regardless of where he was putting them, this playing out from the the defenders this last 2 seasons has been solely down to Kelvin spraying his goal kick all over the place (mainly into touch) now you have a major play of Gazza to Rickie knock down to Gaston pass out the whichever member of the Cavalry coming up the field offers the best option. No longer are we stuck with a main play that can be picked off by classy international opposition players.

Seems a bit like that lad that Wet Spam took off Man Utd can't think of his name, talent to burn with the football world potentially at his feet, Fergie persevered with him but gave up in the end: apparently the silly whatsit was still hanging around with his old mates and still going out on mugging sprees with them and getting caught too!!! Bit like everytime you see Glen Johnson: what went through your mind when you stole that toilet seat from B&Q

I filmed Rickies penalty at Watford last season just about everyone who has seen it (who supports other teams) just says Wow! that's how you take a penalty: just try and take the back of the net out!!

In this world where iGadgets are so numerous it's is pretty unforgivable that the blueprint just about every teams website is built on is so carp on such a popular mobile device. but then if the FA has signed it off then really no real surprised its pants.

I reckon the demise of a pie and a pint deal on the concourse will see the gate fall even further!!

Must be special when to a man (& woman) the whole home crowd are signing your name, and when you have plied your trade in some of the backwaters of football to hear it from the folks that matter in a great stadium even more so. I heard some time ago when Pardew was shown the door Adkins was identified as being by far and away at the very top of the list of candidates but wanting to do it right they made sure it was done right especially where the Iron were concerned, let the media play their games in the mean time. After what he as achieved these past 2 seasons I really can't see the club turfing him out at the merest wobble, Cortese may be a hard barsteward but he ain't stupid. The fact that his long term contract was nailed down less than 6 months into his life with Saints and during his probationary period should say a lot with regards to the relationship.

Puncheon is certainly putting in the hours as not only did he play Villa Saturday but we saw a return to the old days of having the return game the very next day as apparently he gave the Villa defence the runaround today, Sunday!!

Just watching Football First, what a load of cobblers the comment on MOTD "Villa were in control first half". Like others have said very lazy pundits on MOTD

Seemed to have a good touch and very eager, almost like a bottle of pop that had been shaken up then opened. One minute on the right next over on the Left hunting down the ball. Lallana, Mayuka, Lee, Ramirez, Lambert on the pitch at the same time would be a bit of giggle 30,000+ folks would find out what colour fear is!!!

Something I mentioned in the car driving I think Abonglahor was a bit surprised to see him still at his shoulder as he hoped to have been in space to spin an cross into the box.

During the kick in while the coin toss was going on he was looking over to the Kingsland, someone fired goal wards and he just threw his arm out and stopped it and carried on looking towards the Kingsland. Someone else had a shot and he purposely just twisted his shoulder at the ball and deflected it wide. Thought blimey he's relaxed. what stood out was his kicking which was very accurate, I think once Rickie and Gaston have been playing for a whie together Gazza to Rickie to Gaston will become a feature. Adkins even made a similar comment post match.

I enjoyed the bolloking he handed out in he first half. Very solid and made Jose up hs game too.

Lambert dropped Given for Villa last weekend, so why not might shake Kelvin out of his past nasty Premiership experience.

The Sugar gives the coffee and spirit mix more density which helps to support the cream at the top. Using squirty canned cream is a bit of a cheap lazy way of doing it, and tastes carp. I would have a bit of an experiment, worst that will happen is that you will be up all night getting smashed drinking a more artistic Jaeger bomb: certainly tastes better.

By the time we had ironed out a deal Fox would have still started today, as he wouldn't have trained long enough with the team

For every positive there is a negative: coo-eee! I am your negative! Fixture list has conspired since day one and changes have rubbed my nose in it. Work, Weddings, Pre arranged weekends, see Wigan, ManUre, and Fulham scrubbed.............. You wait next week the nation will have a bout of Famine and Pestulance and Villa (my 1st game this season) will be abandoned due to the number of Frogs and Toads that have rained down onto the pitch.

Just looked it up 6000 ish miles, 12-14 hours and 4 hour time difference so Jet Lag not so nasty as that our Japanese boys will suffer.

Stood in Hastings taking an order with a customer in her shop, she got a phone call. When she finished the call she said that was my son he just said that someone had flown a plane into the Twin Towers. We both thought that it was a light aircraft, listening to the radio in the car was a bit surreal seeing the pictures on TV when I got home was even more so. Especially the people jumping from the upper windows........................ Still begs the question why?

Ooo-errrrrr! We will have the PC Police on our case with that Muriel!! Get an African player and we represent him with a chuffin Lion!!! Still if he is that ferocious Rooney might actually lose that leg this year!!

Either way it's going to be the most competitive SPOTY in ages, as the glorious sporting feats of the summer are so numerous. Trouble is if someone on the panel sticks in a dopey footballer (goodness knows why they should) he could easily canter up the inside to snaffle the prize. Personally I think: Wiggo Farah Murray With a special mention for Johnnie Peacock, only because I thought his 100m the other night was awesome. The Games Makers will be team of the year. Bolt = Overseas Dave Whatsit the Cycling boss = Coach of the year Seb = Special Recognition Award Dave Weir = Helen Rowleson Award

Always remember Bridgey when he came back from Japan 2002, first game and as they use to say on Soccer AM he was "Different Gravy!".

+1.

Pants Much prefer the Away one of the 2.

Oh deary me only just got on to t'internet to find I am now I am pap's plaything: stupid bloomin Italians flogging him to us
