Saint Garrett

We've been fantastic at this for the last 3 years. Team is more than capable of seeing out a win, although we have struggled a bit this season.

Forte is a success just for those 2 goals against MK Dons. He's not horrendous and came in to do a job for us. Thing is a lot of the 'failures' cost bugger all, so the risk is a lot less. There aren't many that I'd say are a failure to be honest. Only ones which you could argue are Mayuka Gazza, and Gaston, all who are very young and Mayuka hasn't had a chance. Gazza looks ok, and will be a good keeper but wasnt ready for the prem, and Gaston has shown flashes of brilliance but will take time to adjust. Whether its longer than what we expected doesn't really matter, but he's clearly got massive talent and it's not like we wouldn't be able to shift him if necessary, Majority of our signings in recent years were players who have come in to do a job or to give us alternate options to what we already had. De Ridder is average, but he did do ok last year and gave us pace, despite not being very good.

As much as there are other teams being dragged in, I still think it will be 3 from the bottom 4.

Hopefuly they have some tough games between now and when we play them. And Gouffran went off injured yesterday and he looks a good player. Hopefully we'll go up there and get a result, but wouldn't be surprised if we come away with nothing though. Hopefully our boys can press them into making mistakes and that Newcastle play the worst they've played since "insert team here"....Thats the only way we get a result apparently....

Would be hilarious if WHU went down. The amount of abuse I get from WHU fans. Mentioned how I think Morgan and Cork are one of the best CM partnerships at the moment....got a comment that Diame and Noble are a lot better......Ok then.

Thought you were going for 8th Trousers ?!

Going to have to bring in some quality if they're to stay up next year. They have a few players on short term deals. Carroll, Chamakh, Pogatetz, Cole. Allardyce contract up this summer as well. Will certainly be a summer of change for them whther they stay up or not.

And they're not going to get anything from St Mary's !

Andy Carroll is so bad it's embarrassing.

2-1 og. Come on 1 more.....

WHU are so lucky they had a good start. They are woeful. 1 plan. Long ball.

2-0 NZogbia/

Penalty to Villa.

Villa just have noone with a football brain. Just then the ball goes up to Benteke, and he tries to flick it on to noone. I'm so happy we have Rickie who knows what he is doing, and can get the ball down and pick a pass.

Such a dell-sized mentality!!

He's a diving bastard, did exactly the same at UP when we played there. Find myself wanting Villa to win, despite preferring them to lose. Can't stand Allardyce or WHU. Can you imagine paying £600 for a ST at UP?! Guzan to Benteke.....Jaaskeleinin to Carrol..Guzan to Benteke...Jaaskeleinen to Carroll....

Had a good few wins at the start of the season. Had a bit of momentum first few games. Now teams have sussed them out. They also don't let in many so they pick up draws/

Worst half of football I've seen all season. Lack of quality is alarming. All so predictable.

Well he was very heavily linked with Spurs and Arsenal in January...thats quite a lot of hype.

I think Hulk Hogan got his prediction spot on. "This is going to be just as boring as all their other games. Zero Zero."

This could easily be a Championship game such little quality on show.

I don't understand the hype about Diame really either. He's just big and gets stuck in, reminds me a bit of Viafara, in that he'll make some great tackles but then just gives the ball away straight away.

I know. Odd....don't think any of them would have got in our side personally.

Villa are absolute toss. WHU are not much better. And didn't someone on here....(TDD I think?) said Jaaskeleinen is a better signing than Boruc? Jaaskeleinen is poooooor, and has been for a few years now. Hence him barely playing last season for Bolton.

I want them both to lose.
