At the last budget most people were better off at the expense of some of the worst off. Why do that when money is meant to be so tight? Rhetorical question, obviously. Which means CT will probably answer it. Except he won't now I've said that. Or maybe he will now I've said that, etc.

To be fair, he was probably only 18 if he looked like he was in his 30s.

Blair spoilt it when he got rid of nearly all the froot loop hereditary peers. Although what they stood for was appalling they definitely haven't replaced it with anything better.

Well, I thought we played well. Probably a foul by Colo to the letter of the law but it isn't consistently applied like that and it wasn't done so in the game so it was extremely harsh to give a pen. Doubly so to send him off as I don't think it was a clear goal scoring opportunity. We should've had a pen just before that too as Wijnaldum was clearly impeded. Sometimes you just have no luck in a game and that was one of those. As much as the pen / sending off the inability to convert all that first half possession into clear-cut chances cost us the game. Sunderland were more clinical 2nd half but they were given a massive boost by the end of the first half. Before that they struggled to put 3 passes together. We need to persevere with that side, or that front 6 for now. Play like that and we'll win plenty games. They know they were lucky, just one of those games. Gutted but at least we showed up, unlike the previous few howkings off them.

I would hazard a guess that the worst XI is usually composed of relatively high profile promising and/or talented players who have under performed rather than being the worst 11 players in the league. Also, who picks it?

Aye, that's what bugs me about shit like that, i.e. it's just accepted without question. -

It's almost like he's revising history in order to appear better in his own book Can't remember even the slightest bit of speculation linking us with Modric when Allardyce was here either in the summer when he became manager or in the following January -

Trained with the team here under KK's second spell as manager. KK wanted him. Also, doesn't the timing of his signing for Spurs back that up? -

Robbie Savage tipped Villa to do well this season under Sherwood which makes their current problems even more amusing. -
