Claudio will not be living in London, he's been looking at places in Leicester[/quote

This is a fact, looked at 10 properties a couple of weeks ago with the veiw of buying oddly. Chance the club were buying to let to him?

Originally given a budget to rent, there isn't a house in the rental brakes that the is looking at, I won't mention the figure but it is several thousand a month

[enmac]

cambiasso came on at half time for his debut and put in one of the best halves of football I've ever seen and the game after that started and scored in the win against united...?

Unfair to compare GI or anyone else with EC.

Nobody is going to do it like Esteban!

[johnny the fox]

Anyone notice the really nice embrace between Ranieri and Steve Walsh at the final whistle?

yeah but did one thing lead to another?

[walkerleeds]

I can't understand why people didnt realise it was a goal.

After a passage of play the ball ends up in the net, the ref has not blown his whistle for any infringement, the linesman hadn't signalled for any misdemeanor. The only foul was committed by their goalkeeper. We were in SK2 and all around me were up cheering. Obviously the injury cut short the celebrations for a short while, but if the lino and opposition are going back to the centre circle / line, a bit of a giveaway.

 

I can understand. Goalkeepers are given ridiculous amounts of protection so a player going within a yard of them is sometimes enough to give a them a free-kick (even if said goalkeeper tries to break the attackers neck)

I noticed that they had a lot of time on the wings.

 

I don't think we're playing too narrow, but it's quite worrying sometimes.

Mostly down our right... Teams have highlighted that as a weakness, Mahrez can leave it exposed and I think he is better in more of a free role behind the strikers. We should play dyer on the right

It's a result of the goals conceded against Sunderland. They took advantage of the channel between the full back and the centre backs. Ranieri doesn't want the cb's exposed. So he's asked the full backs to tuck in. Was seen against West Ham and has been used since.

Why does Tim Sherwood keep saying we were in control of the game for 60 mins? The first 10 we played ok not out of control then Villa started to get the upper hand and we defended far too deep for the rest of the first half and where shit. so that's 35 Minutes.

 

Second half we ran them over they scored a great goal completely against the run of play but they were never in control for the second half/

So really they were in control for 40 mins if I am being generous, and we battered them for 40 mins, the other 10 is Meh..

 

Not Sherwood related but I wanted to add if we played like that against a good attacking team it could have been 3-0 by half time

i think he meant in control of the result, as in up until 60 minutes they were going to win. but they didn't. cos they're shit.

Looks like he's trying to do the macarena but has forgotten all the motions.

No it was a villa technical tactitional hand and arm gestures which are very clear to villa fans and players is ' I HAVENT GOT A FOOKING CLUE WHAT TO DO NEXT BUT IF I WAVE MY ARMS ABOUT LIKE SOMEONE HAVING A FIT FLAPPING AROUND AS IF A WASP WAS UP MY ARSE THEN I MIGHT GET AWAY WITH BEING SUCH A SHOCKING TW@ OF A WANNABE MANAGER!!'

Yeah.

And I haven't bothered reading the whole thread so apologies if I'm repeating what's already been said.

What's all this bollox Sherwood is saying?

A. He looked like a stupid child in his MOTD interview btw.

B. He said they "had the game won". No you didn't - it it lasted 96 minutes, and dispite Villa scoring two good goals we had 21 shots against their 13, and deserved to win it scoring three against their two.

Battered them 2nd half.

And let's get it right - they didn't give the game away, WE TOOK IT OFF THEM!

[ARM1968]

Sherwood was our 13th man. 12th being the crowd. Must have watched that clip a dozen times. I used to play at a reasonable level and if I'd of seen my manager doing that I'd probably have collapsed in hysterics. Made no sense at all.

[Freesolo]

I'm never a fan of managers that just get their badges and suddenly think they are qualified to be a manager in one of the best leagues in the world, its a insult on the mangers profession, I looked at his interview yesterday and one thing is obvious he can't handle adversity he was almost crying FFS that's not passion its pathetic. 

 

I think you have to earn your right to manage a top tier club, Its like me, going to college to be a electrical engineer then suddenly jumping into a massive multi million job , It takes years to learn your craft starting at the bottom and working your way up. Football is no different.

[HighPeakFox]

I don't give a toss about Sherwood
