Steve Bruce era begins tomorrow. Really confident that he'll stabilize Villa - not playing 4 strikers at a time should help. Hopefully the playoff spots aren't already out of reach.

Agreed. No reason to rush him back. Any word on Kozak's progress? Thought he'd have been back before Benteke.

Crawl back into your hole you curly headed hobbit.

Great start to the season. 2nd place with a win over pool with 2/3 of our best players out. However, I've got no doubt arsenal will have their way with us at villa park in the morning. Either way, great start to the season, best we've had since MON left. Also, very excited about the amount of depth we've added to the squad and hoping to see Sanchez start over Richardson soon.

The only way it could have been any sweeter is if he broke his leg walking off the field and ended his career for good. frick that douche :doublebird:

Welcome, FT :cheers:

Engvol and I are villans. South of south is one of my good buddies who will watch a villa match every now and then. He does have a couple of Guzan keeper kits though. I started a new job a couple of months ago, so I haven't been posting very often. Once the World Cup SB action starts to die down, I'm gonna try to start posting more frequently again. I'm going to me second villa match next month in Houston, very excited about that. Not very excited about next season though, unfortunately.

You've gotten some very reasonable responses. I'm just going to say this, if you consider yourself a music person and you don't realize why it's terrible, then don't expect anybody to be able to explain it to you.

Also, you're in your mid-20s, from Alabama and you watch Glee? I'd say just accept that you have terrible taste, no harm in that.

To answer the OP, absolutely. Also, SM's new album might be my favorite of his since his debut.

I've always found the my player mode glitchy. Why let the comp take the decision making out of your hands? Building a team is more fun anyways, IMO.

I'll take care of mine tomorrow. Done with grad school and CFA, I should be able to pull my weight a little better from here on out. Granted, things are kinda hectic trying to line up interviews and find a job at the moment.

There are atleast 4 players on Tottenham which would have to be considered much bigger flops. Stupid topic.

It was nice that NBC atleast showed him being clapped by the traveling fans yesterday and him acknowledging them. Good manager and class fella. Whatever happens, he won't be out of the job for long.
