Bentley is looking a right t0ol these days! Glad that so far his move has worked out so well for him.

Being his boyhood club and all, their start to the season must be giving him sleepless nights.

He is so close to greatness!

[Claytons Left Boot]

Should have typed 2-1 to Lyn but the edit thingy seems to have gone. (Not that anyone will bother )

scabby goal

On the other hand, although we might have received the maximum fee we could have for selling him this summer, we have hardly benefitted on the pitch.

true, but it makes feel a whole lot better knowing he won't be playing in Europe, It could even be the Fizzy pop league :lol:

[Presty On Tour]

Very impressed with Villa, some much pace and players who can run with the ball and skin a man!

Some people insist on sucking the joy out of things.....

Not sure Spurs are going to be playing Champions League football next season

[Frisky Jim]

A tremendous start for Tottingham Hotspurs.

Ossie will be proud.

I suppose I am sure Spurs will eventually get out of the bottom 3. I'm less confident about us.

[brfc4ever]

Very much enjoying the ongoing collapse of Bentley's career. Going from being the fulcrum of a top 7 team and in the England team to being a benchwarmer for the bottom club getting tonked by Villa and out of the England set-up. Oh, and his most knob-ish hairdo yet.

Excellent career move, David

Cant stop laughing

Talk about making a wrong move. OMG !

[vintageadidas]

Villa were very good tonight. I though Barry was amazing.

They are sound at the back, very good in midfield and decent upfront. Top 6 again i think.

Martin O'Neill is a top manager and respect for the way they dealt with GB. We are too soft sometimes.

Spurs, very average.

We must win at the weekend.

[neekoy]

Funny as hell, but I will not give even the slighest chuckelt until we are well and truely out of the bottom three and into the top half, ahead of spurs of course.

Great move Bents.

Ronaldo (The fat one) to City

Very interesting story this morning

[Rovermatt]

When fat Ronaldo was in shape, he was the best player in the world. Now he's an unmotivated joke.

By the way, what a cracking result last night. Spurs will most likely finish above us (that is to say, they won't get relegated) but Bentley's move to such a massive looks like a real corker doesn't it?

[G Somerset Rover]

Very impressed with Villa, some much pace and players who can run with the ball and skin a man!

Was thinking exactly the same thing myself. They're a joy to watch with their quick counter attacking and positive play. And we have precisely zero players with either pace or the ability to skin a man.

[BuckyRover]

They have a billionaire owner.

They have a billionaire owner.

and O'Neill has spent a couple of years building that team, not a matter of months

[AggyBlue]

As I recall, it was always said and generally accepted that a manager needs three years to build and mould his team.

[Billy Castell]

How would this affect Man Utd? Sounds serious

[gumboots]

Their sponsorship of Utd is a very very small part of their business and I doubt United would have much trouble finding a new sponsor. annoying for them, even disruptive but not a real problem

A new business opportunity by releasing replica shirts with another sponser

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Terry got his red card rescinded.

Funny that.

[Wolves_Rover]

Funny that.

Well, no shock there really, especially with Vidic only getting a yellow card for a similar offence in the Liverpool match.

What's ridiculous is it's not dropped to a yellow - just wiped out altogether.

True, but with huge banks all over the world going bust or desperate for governments to bail them out, a bumper shirt deal is unlikely. AIG, Lehmann Brothers, HBOS and a host of others are going under or in serious trouble. I don't know much about how these institutions work, but surely the troubles could mean any replacement deal is of a lower value, and things may hit the fan with regards to the loans the Glazers took out to buy the club. maybe Phillipl or someone with a financial mind to look at this situation.
