Any 5 of them with a power ranking of over 7000 can combine into Mega Striker and battle Godzilla or Mega Blatter.

Keeper was initially just that bit unsighted by the defender, and that was some shot. Hang on, I've done that post...very good save.

I thought that they'd go for a manager with a focus and experience to keep them up. That's not to say Howe can't, but it didn't end well at B'Mouth. When they started looking, perhaps they thought they'd have more points on the board. And that Howe would be a person for the first phase of developing the club. More, if he's successful. But parting ways for a bigger name, if they felt Howe had hit a ceiling.

Good goal. Keeper was initially just that bit unsighted by the defender, and that was some shot. I only hope it's utterly demoralised Ipswich, rather than making them desperate to make amends, ahead of the League game.

Bow

Teally tough for MotM. Could be half a dozen.

Was he asked about the red cards for his players?

Not that I think Villa will go down. But if they did, and his pay gets cut as part of a contract clause, I wonder if he'd be on less than Saints were offering. And a division lower down.

Great first half Villa could have had a couple of players shown red cards. Ralph changed it round when Villa were clearly getting on top. Solid subs to shore it up at key moments. Team all worked their socks off, and for each other to. It was a narrow win, goals wise but Saints were miles clear 1st half and, after a change were solid. Some really impressive displays all through the team.

How would Match of the Day cope without Shearer's stunning insights, as he boldly leads Newcastle into another relegation? Mental note: delete the above if Ralph joins Newcastle to continue his approach, but with money, and Shearer gives up Match of the Day for a bold return to us.

🙂 I think in Villa's minds they were going to use the Grealish, and their backer's pennies to push on, while we were haggling over Armstrong and some youth players. Terribly sad it's not worked out for them so far. And will be even sadder, hopefully, after this week.
