Villa probably won't score 5 goals in all of February.
I wonder what the US equivalent of being a Villa Fan is. Second biggest city in the UK. Huge catchment area, decent sized stadium, large fan base, proud history; any team that's won the European Cup has a proud history...and they play shit, shit, shit football in front of fans used to watching shit football who make less noise than just about any other team in the BPL. They must be so miserable. I think relegation would do them good, drop down a division, and then have something to fight for to, cheer for...I've watched a few Vila Matches this year cos I do like Craig Lambert and think he knows football, but man, it's sad watching them, play in front of those fans...I think Lambert would be well served getting a new job, cos Villa are not moving forwards as a club, they're like non particiapants in the league.
Watching the Liverpool match it was palpable the change in the stadium and on the pitch when Sturridge came on. And he hit the ground running and did what Liverpool have struggled so much with this season...finding little pockets of space in the final third particularly the box. And i was wondering, can they teach that...movement, work off the ball, reading a game, paticularly the game as it plays out in the final third. On of my favourite footie songs is called 'Give him a ball and a yard of grass' - it seems a fitting tribute to young Daniel. The Sultans of Ping FC, were not fans of the long ball game.
Give him a ball and a yard of grass
Give him a ball & a yard of grass
He'll give you a move with perfect pass
Give him a ball & a yard of space
He'll give you a move with godly grace
He 's a nice young man with a lovely smile
A man can't have no greater love
Than give 9O minutes to his friends
If God meant game to be played up there
He would've put goal posts in the air
If God meant game to be played up there
He would've put goal posts in the air
If God meant game to be played up high
He would've built pitches in the sky
If God meant game to be played up high
He would've built pitches in the sky (Die!)
