Premier League Discussion Thread

Thats my luck. im watching every Villa game and they lose or draw. i coudnt watch the match yesterday and they won 3-1. Even Heskey scored

I dont' think you could have anyway, it wasnt on TV. The only ones that were was The Manu game and spurs/arsenal. There was only a highlights show. Still early anyway, that was only the 3rd round i think.

phew
Chelsea, Liverpool, MC are out

I couldn't find a stream either. I haven't even seen the highlights yet.

I heard that Heskey was man of the match though

I saw that we used all 3 substitutes and even changed formation at half time. Did MON ever do anything like this?

Found an Emile Heskey drinking game online!

I LOVE YOU HESKEY

He's turned in to a scoring machine!

I'm liking how Houllier is getting us to play. Tactically he is way better than MON but I don't know if he can motivate people like MON could. He seems to have done something to Heskey though...

I can see him selling off players like Petrov, Carew and Agbonlahor though. They were MON favourites but they just don't seem to be his type of player.

Cisse, Owen and some classy foreign midfielder to come to Villa in January.

I can see Petrov and Carew probably being sold, Houllier already sold Carew at Lyon so history will repeat itself

It should be a busy January transfer (i hope), with no transfers earlier in the season (not including Ireland part-exchange) and a new manager with a new approach it wil be a great opening, and a name like Houllier might widen our signing options.

Cisse would be great, i quite liked him at Liverpool even though he died down a little near the end of his Loverpool run. Owen seems likely too, He's barely a fringe player at Utd so Villa+Houllier might appeal to him.

i dunno u know it but there is a button (looks like a double-window) it opens the stream in Windows Media Player and has better sound and a bit bigger screen

Fukking joke lose from 1-0 again

You guys watch the Chelsea game? First 5 minutes we looked immense. I think Houllier is making us play proper football now rather than the long ball game than MON instilled in us.

Carew looked dead on his feet though. For the first time ever, I can't wait until we get Heskey back!

Yeah, great first 5 minutes. The miss by Ireland was a shame, more than the final chance by Reo-Coker i thought. We've improved on counter attacking too, there was some nice build ups from what i saw. But i cant complain at a draw, the club is back on its feet now and we should be looking good for a euro place.

I'm not quite buying into Heskey yet
If he stays reliable then that's ok, but atm it looks like Heskey has stolen Carews form atm :L

Yeah Carew, Ireland and Reo-Coker all should have scored I thought. It was agonising watching Reo-Cokers shot roll wide, seemed to take ages.

Ok, maybe I'm not 100% on Heskey either but Carew has just fallen apart for some reason. I'd have anyone playing except for him.
