Nothing to see here

Just logged on here for the first time since 2013. What have I missed?

Hi all. Like many, my days of regular posts are long behind me but felt the need to come on. Just got back from holiday so playing catch up. I only met Jon once, sat next to him at a game vs Blackburn (Roeder's last game). Struck me as a really nice bloke and of course was a great contributor to the 2 boards. RIP

Can't link it on my phone Renton but the BBC news website has the video clip on now

On Talksport at 10pm. I wonder if they'll have a lie detector in the studio

Did they bother with a lap of 'appreciation'? Ie what shit teams do to say thanks to the fans

Never see the point in an away kit that is similar colour to the home. I know there aren't many teams in black but can't we just have yellow again and stick with it?

Villa are performing exactly how we should be at this time of the season

How many games is Sessengnon banned for? Big miss for them. Can see Wigan winning this though

Totally agree. It's the kind of game we always lose though

Colin is harmless to be fair

Seems the easy answer to say someone French but id have thought Carr has built up a nice little list of managerial targets for when relevant. The 8 year contract was just ridiculous. Even if they sack him its more bad PR and the quotes about stability will get throw in their face. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised to wake up one day to an overnight announcement that Pardew has left and been replaced by a French bloke no one has heard of! I don't follow much European football so not sure on any names in Ligue 1?

I bet Di Canio's team talk was a hell of a lot more uplifting than Pardew's cliched bollocks

Did us proud tonight Benfica are a quality side. Shame as we were really pushing for that 2nd goal

Ben Arfa is so fucking good
