I thought everyone played well today, bar the last 5 mins where a bit of panic set in, but the real revelation, and not just for today but the last few months, has to be Lukasz Fabianksi. He's gone from a terrified little boy who used to quiver when balls were put in the box to a confident, commanding keeper and a great shot-stopper. Bye bye Almunia.

He's still got kinks to iron out, but yeah, at least now a 38 year old Schwarzer doesn't seem like an upgrade.


I'd have been very disappointed as Schwarzer would have been nothing more than a stop-gap solution. With Sczcesny (sp?) on the up and needing game time over the next couple of seasons, Fabianski's revival has been timely to say the least.

NLD this weekend. I love and hate this fixture in equal measure. The prospect of Bale and VdV against our defence is giving me nightmares ! Song will have to understand that he's not fucking Zidane and I hope Arsene tells Song that he'll be docked a week's pay for every time he enters the final third of the pitch. It's been getting us goals recently but leaves the back 4 with no protection.

Having said that, I'd like to see Theo start. Assou Ekotto will get rinsed and Bale might think twice before bombing forward. And Nasri will be licking his lips at the thought of lining up against Hutton.

The Spuds have been enjoying a pretty good run, so that makes one derby that promises all out attack by both teams. I get the feeling the biggest threat might be from dead balls off Crouch's head, but it's true, you wouldn't bet against VDV and Bale getting through in open play.

In other news, Bobby Pires back in the EPL! Probably set for a role as a super-experienced sub at Villa, but it'll be great to see him back on the field regardless.

^Pires is almost junk now. I remember reading on Goal.com that he was speaking with a 4th or 5th division team in England. Good for him, though.

There are the international friendlies going on tonight..but don't think any Indian channel is showing the brazil argentina game from Doha!

Ooh, the Brits are getting a French rogering at Wembley. That's what happens when you sack buffoons like Domenech and replace them with anyone halfway decent. Then again, it's England they're playing against.

Gerrard got injured, Spain lost, fuckall day.
On a brighter note Lio scored an absolute peach in the 90th vs Brazil.What a legend.

There is absolutely no situation where the words "Pires" and "Junk" can be used in the same sentence. He probably still has more talent in his pinky than all the left-sided players in the premier league combined. Aston Villa's talented youngsters can only benefit from having his experience on board.

One of my favourite players of all time and I can't wait to see him in action again !
