Went to the Villa game. Game of two halves. Villa awful in the 1st. Newcastle are a pretty woeful side to be honest but there support was fantastic. Cabaye's goal was magic as well, by a mile the best player on the pitch. Had Agbonlahor and Weinman started IMO Villa would have won, Lambert got the tactics wrong.
Jack Butland: Birmingham goalkeeper rejects Chelsea talks http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21258729 Good lad! refreshing to see a young player turn down a move as he wants to play 1st team football, rather then sit on the bench with a mega money contract and play 5 games a season.
Drogba attempts to arrange underhand transfer from China to Turkey without telling his club, with 2 years still left on his contract . Once a classless chav, always a classless chav.
Would have been a disastrous decision for him. They already have one of the brightest goalkeeping prospects in the world in Thibaut Courtois, who is first choice at Athletico Madrid aged just 20. Even when Cech retires, which won't be for a while (he is only 30 so presumably has 7 or so years left), Butland would still most likely be reserve keeper for them.
Having said that they score two,I'm a jinx I tell you. The only teams who haven't scored tonight are us and poxy Reading.
