Someone has just asked for Oscar Garcia to be added to the Betfair market - our mystery man?

The Betfair market went up in the last hour and the first name that is attracting the interest of somebody (albeit at speculative prices) is......Ryan Giggs.

Granted you may know better than them, but the feeling on the Villa forum is that the side they have put out is an insult to the travelling fans.

Or possibly it was NEARLY 2-2 - my dutch isn't the best! Koeman MAYBE back in....

2-2. Koeman Out.

Ahhhhhhh......then all is well. Stand down troops...

What is Mane's availability situation? Senegal appear to have a game on the Thursday night?

Duncan is quietly SEETHING at the fact he has had to suffer him in a Saints shirt again.

RD: Listen, I know you had a disappointing week but we had a worse one and we don't want to kick the fans again just yet. Let him play with two cigars out instead of the usual one against St Johnstone, we'll gub them, he can wave bye bye then sign for you, everyone's happy (er)....

I'm right behind you for the first three of your points - after that you are on your own.

That sounds like one hell of a Toblerone.....

OK, will look into - ta.

My brother has ordered them via his season ticket, but he seems to think it should have come in the post?

No joy from postie here.....

You seem very upset MLG - sorry to hear about that.

Can't reveal my sources (!) but no reason to doubt the info - would be a fairly random thing to make up imo.

......so my sources tell me - anyone know anything?

I'm surprised you manage to wet the bed with a bone of contention to be honest.

Fancy a bet on that?

Like I said Bilbot, it doesn't change the way I feel in the slightest - if I have layed Saints I still want them to win with just the same sad desperation as always.

I've never understood the "I couldn't bet against my own" brigade. Firstly it makes no difference to the result, and secondly, it doesn't (unless you are not a die hard fan) change what you want to happen.

Those (of whom there seem to be many) who think a point would be good in the circumstances on Saturday and that a win is, frankly, unlikely, may be interested to know you can currently lay us at around 11/8 which seems VERY short to me. Disclaimer - Last time I posted something similar we cruised past Everton....

....which seems to be just about everybody on here, may be surprised if not startled to see that we are clear favourites for the game on Betfair at around 11/8, with Everton at 9/4. Disclaimer: I usually post this sort of thing to show what a desperate gaggle of bedwetters you are, but on this occasion given the suspensions even I think the prices are wrong...

1-2 please......

Touched on aftertiming here before and the stick SD has got for his miss highlights it perfectly. His mistake was not one of decision making, but execution. "Just put your laces through it ffs" seems to be the consensus. If he had placed it neatly in the corner that would have been "what a calm measured finish, resisted the temptation to blast it and made it look easy". And if, God forbid, he had put his laces through it and skied it over the bar "why oh why could he not show a bit of composure?". Very easy to say what could/should have happened when you've seen the result after the outcome.
