  1. Indeed. I had heard that the Villa fans were revolting....
  2. Personally, I think the concourses are ok. Certainly, compared to those at Coventry etc it's all pretty standard. Improvements for me would involve seemingly smaller touches. Re-introducing live match coverage on the concourse teles during the game, ensuring the facilities are correctly staffed/stocked. It wouldn't take much to improve things.
  3. Easy, it's based on players I (and everyone else) has seen play in the flesh.... and some of us are too young to have seen them.
  4. A very good point!
  5. I take your point that he seemingly hasn't had any performances that have been stellar entertainment, but his debut win where he comprehensively out qualified, out raced and defeated Michael Schumacher, in identical equipment at Turkey 2006 was outstanding. Simply dissmissing a win because it is in the best car at the time would be a little shortsighted for me, for example, Button's win at Barcelona in 2009 stands out as a simply brilliant win, the fact the Brawn was ahead of it's class at the time is simply incidental, that drive was outstanding.
  6. Crashes like that can change drivers. Karl Wendlinger was never the same after his massive shunt at Manaco in 1994, it was an accident with many parrallel's to Sergio Perez's a couple of weeks ago, only he came off much worse.
  7. Seems we must have been the only ones to see it. Maybe as a result of Ch4 showing the program close to midnight last night. Apparently this was due to 'disturbing content,' on the contrary, that's exactly why it should have been shown at a more mainstream time. The marginalisation of television so important as this would be a massive injustice in itself.
  8. He spent a year as Ferrari's test driver after leaving Sauber. His development work and rapport with Schumacher must have worked in his favour. After Barrichello became jumpy giving the seat to a definitive no 2 must have been a very attractive prospect for them. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss him though, before Hungary 2009 he had shown some excellent pace at certain tracks, particularly Turkey and Bahrain. As for only coming to the fore at the end of 2008, he was winning races consitently through the year, he really deserved his crack at the title.
  9. Correct. We went down second from bottom on 45 points. We were about 6 adrift of safety. As the only effoct of a points deduction would have been to put us last in the table the penalty carried over.
  10. I would say Olivier Bernard...... but he never scored for us. Fits the criteria though! (well, he did spend more time in the opposition's half then any other left back I can remember.)
  11. I would without hesitation recommend 'Family: Life Death and Football' by Michael Calvin. Michael Calvin is a childhood friend of Kenny Jackett and got access to all levels of Millwall F.C. during their promotion season from League 1 in 2009/10. It keeps an eye on how life is for a team where many of the players have to fight for their very livelihoods, one bad tackle or missed opportunity could see them struggling to make ends meat. It's a really eye opening insight into how football works at a mid-sized pro club.
  12. Fair play! Ok, post another question as no-one got that.
  13. That is missing the point a little. The master tournaments are just one hell of a lot of fun, it's been ruined because a lot of teams are starting to take it too seriously.
  14. They all went on to manage at non-league level? They all played in the team we had during the mid eighties? (Too obvious i'm sure.)
  15. Used to be on ITV's F1 coverage. She was prety hot.
  16. Ok, that's definitely more then 15 minutes. Next question posted becomes live.

  18. Still trying to get my head around what I saw last night on this program. I'm coming back to be caught in two trains of thought. 1) That such brutality and evil can happen directly under the noses of the world is horrifying. Actions must surely need to be taken against Sri Lanka for this...... but nothing will be able to bring the 40,000 innocent Tamil civilians back. 2) The only reason we are aware of this is due to the modern technology involed. This is shocking because the capability is now there to get that type of footage out of warzones. Previously, during WW2, The Yugoslavian civil war, Vietnam etc this type of reasonable quality ad-hoc filming was impossible. The war-crimes that were involved therefore couldn't possibly have had the same impact on us. Sri Lanka's government tried to cover this up.... and they failed to do so due to their own troop's blazé attitude towards their own attrocities. In future wars will our 'age of communication' result in horrors such as this becoming impossible to cover up? Will this clarity of information be a deterent to man's inhumanity to man or will the inheirently self destructive nature of humanity continue to assert itself in times of warfare and conflict?
  19. That would only work with Macs I assume, not PC's? Right?
  20. As a shot in the dark......... ....... Gianfranco Zola
  21. Where did they play in Eastleigh? And as for my question.... How old was Chris Baird when he made his Southampton debut?
