on another note any chance of you guys selling us Berahino yet? :whistle:

Odemwingie part 2! I'll be glad when he's gone! Wrong attitude and hangs around with the wrong crowd.

He's a very good player when he wants to be. 2 years ago he was considered better than Kane. One put the effort in the other expected things to happen with little to no effort.

Anyway, I'd love Villa to go down again but I think they'll bounce straight back up. They have a good partnership in Di Matteo and Clarke.

I always wait a few weeks, let all the freak results go, then start to bet once things settle down. I only lost £30 in total last season. :D

got to jump back in on the first week mate!

I don't bet big so have no issue in losing.

Had a few very good wins last season, here's hoping for a couple before my holiday! Quite fancy Wigan 0-0 tomorrow ;)

How has Jaap Stam been viewed as your new manager? I just can't keep up with them at Reading :p

Giving him the benefit of the doubt at the moment. No experience at this level, but strong character that will hopefully shake some of the players up. Some decent players have left, but that was always going to be the case. Couple of new signings look good, but with no experience in England. If we stay up will be happy.:thup:

Well it seems that the prem league has shown sense and frozen away ticket prices to £30 for three years.
However the football league seem to have lost the plot. Tomorrow Villa fans will have to pay £42 to watch them play against Sheff weds, unbelievable.

Tashy, I believe the PL are also going to get the away supporters moved down to pitch side rather than as per some clubs, Newcastle being a prime example, up in the gods. The aim is to improve the lot of away fans and also improve the atmosphere. This is not happening at Championship level so for those fans new to Newcastle allow time to climb the stairs and bring your binoculars.

Who'd have thought that the PL would be leading the way in matters where making a profit is not the priority?

Not sure how much we're charging for away fans but I've just forked out £40 to watch us play Sheffield Wednesday at Hilsborough!!

Somthing needs to be done about it but it's stupid people like me that keep paying it I suppose so it'll never change

We have reduced our ticket prices for away fans to £20.

Still top of the league for another hour. Have to be honest aside from the goal taken well I was still underwhelmed. We still look toothless upfront, more so now McCormack has gone, and not convinced by the back line. Newcastle worth at penalty in the first half, arguably a second later on and so we were lucky from that point. I think there's enough in Newcastle to still be there. As for us, one game changes nothing in my mind and my bet at 11/2 for relegation still feels a sound investment
