This article misses the point somewhat Harty. I don't think anyone really blamed GP for jumping at the chance of managing Chelsea. Bigger club, Champions League football, bumper payrise etc, who wouldn't ? I was disappointed he took the job, but it wasn't difficult to understand why he would...

Ahh ok. I thought his contract was up in June for some reason.

Absolutely ZERO chance of getting that kind of cash for him when he'll be a free agent in June - look what happened with Bissouma. If he goes in January, we'd be lucky to get £15m. I think he'll run his contract down, and be off in the summer. He'll probably get some kind of loyalty bonus for...

f***ing leeches.

I take it you meant if you were a Villa supporter you WOULDN'T be dancing in the streets of Aston ? In Emery's first season they slipped down to 5th in the last few games, to miss out on the CL (classic bottle jobs, much like last season). His second season he was binned on 29th November after...

Nice spot of volleyball there.

Possibly not. But anything less and it looks like the board have f***ed it up again.

Very much a meh appointment. Didn't pull up any trees at Arsenal, can't see him doing much at Villa, especially as they seem to think they are some kind of PL "royalty" there. The fans will be mortally offended if they're not pushing top 6, so like most Villa managers, he'll be out within about...

Excellent news. Just need to pull out all the stops to get Trossard and Caicedo tied down, before the beardy turncoat arrives in his trawler and casts his net over the Amex again in January.

He only wanted a share of its spunk, to be fair.

As @Swansman alluded to, it is the horse that destroyed Manchester United by, in a roundabout way, ushering in the era of the Glazers. Ask any (proper) Man U fan if you can find one, and they'd have happily seen that horse in the glue factory before Fergie ever got his mits on it.

I rarely get that drunk these days, and I don't generally eat in the mornings. If I tried to chow down the remains of a cold curry first thing in the morning with a side-order of hangover though, then I would be greeting that curry all over again, and quite rapidly.

Exactly right. In which case he should have stayed back, not come charging out of his box. I'm not saying he should've been glued to his goal line, but he would have been better backing up his CBs, not rushing out straight past them.

Yes, indeed they do. I'm just pushing back on the notion that he'd done the right thing. He didn't - he made a huge misjudgement, and left an open goal for the best striker in the world.

That is just terrible judgement IMO. He was miles away from getting there and dealing with it. He pretty much ran straight past. Haaland still had to control it, Webster was there (albeit subsequently shoved off like a rag doll). IMO it was piss-poor judgement to come out and try to intercept...

Not for me, Clive. Its disgusting cold, and re-heated rice never comes out right. I end up feeling I've bought too much and wasted money.

He'd have got no grief from me. Dunk / Webster should have been capable of cleaning up that long ball without Sanchez getting involved, or at least holding things up. There was no need for Sanchez to come charging off his line, he just confused things and made matters worse. I'm not saying...

None of the defending was great, but to see your last line of defence zooming out past the player and the ball to leave an open goal behind him - that ain't too clever. He completely misjudged it. Had he stayed on his line he might have had a chance of a block or a smother. Instead Haaland was...

Looked like a shove to me, he had both hands on Websters back. Shoulder-barges are one thing, but he basically manhandled Webster out of the way. Zero surprise he was given the benefit though. Of greater concern for me, was WTF was Sanchez doing ?? Off his line, outside the box, nowhere near...

Me and the Doris are quite regular patrons of the Indian Cottage in Shoreham. Always found it decent value there, but whenever we have a starters and a curry each, we invariably end up taking a whole load of it home with us. Both of us are absolute SUCKERS for the lime pickle / mint sauce /...
