    All I have to say on the matter is - fucking Tim Sherwood. Anyone but him. Second coming of Dodgy 'Arry.

    I like Sherwood, pulls no punches and everything he said about our overpaid players was right !

    So he could be a pundit? Says nothing about his managerial ability!

    He did well for us, brought some good youngsters through and got us scoring and winning at home again.

    Judge him next season.

    What the hell happened to Gil? He looked pretty promising. They just better get 3 points tonight against QPR.

    Not sure, Sherwood just doesn't seem to like him. Doesn't fit in with his "we're going to play 4-4-2" Mike Basset style 1987 football.

    haha 4-4-2 worked for City last season. . .

    Villa's biggest game in years tonight, bet Chris is bricking it 🙂

    Nope, if we go down it will be fully deserved. We'd lose Benteke, Vlaar & Delph, but honestly, who else would the vultures be circling for? We really need to rebuild, rather than just fire-fighting to stay above water.

    I agree.

    Many here will bad mouth soccer just to bad mouth it though

    I feel pretty confident that Villa will stay up. Vlaar is likely gone either way. On the plus side, Bent has shown that he can kill it in the Championship if the worst happens 😁

    £65k p/w. Along with Shay Given's £55k p/w. Both out of contract at the end of the year, both need to leave!

    For sure. Given's nearly a pensioner isn't he? There's still quite a bit of quality on the team. Far more that the results indicate anyhow.

    Lambert was actually a decent judge of talent, when you look at the players he brought in - Benteke, Vlaar, Gil, Okore, Westwood, Sanchez etc. Anyone he could spend more than £2m on looks pretty decent. He just couldn't get the team playing well.

    I enjoy baseball, played through my whole childhood and my dad was a pitcher at Ohio State so I didn't have much of a choice. Even though I love watching, it definitely wears off after a while once summer is in full swing. That's the good/bad thing about baseball though-you can take a few weeks off and still not feel like you missed a bunch. With football if you miss a few games it's a huge bummer. But the good news in that is once baseball gets repetitive it's usually training camp time.

  • HA. Not sure how big the world cup is in the states, but its casts a month-long shadow over everything here in Canada. Even hockey.

    Oh, OK, that was a quick answer.

    --had no idea Canada was so gay. Tiny Canadian Pussy Douche should have been a hint.

    I wish I had a soccer team/club to follow like you both do. I can't really care that much about overseas teams, and the MLS has never put a team in a city I care to root for. If Cleveland ever got an MLS team, I'd instantly be a big fan

    It's ingrained in you as a youngster here. I have followed Tottenham all over the UK and Europe. Any chance Cleveland gets a team or is it to close to Colombus for the MLS to consider that?

    Had a top few days in Florence last month mind you we lost and I didn't see much of the place aside from the wine bars!
