Oh we're still quite capable of f*cking it all up,and maybe Liverpool will be stupid enough to give it their best against us.

I would rather see Chelsea thump Liverpool even if it dents our title hopes :p

Nah of course a Liverpool win would be ideal for us, but I think Chelsea have played that well this season they deserve it. Hey it would even be nice to see Arsenal finally pick up something, but I don't think they'll play out their last games good enough to even get second, we'll see.

I think Martin O'Neil has done a god job at Villa. ?You could say he's done probably just about as much as he can with villa, unless he starts to freshen things up by either one or two signings or tactical (again would require player changes). ?

I'd put him on par with the likes of David Moyes and Roy Hodgeson, good managers who get good results from their sides, although Fulham have 41 points, they've also got far in Europe, ?so they could be higher without the troubles of Europe. ?If you compare O'Neil side with the likes of Stoke, Brum and Blackburn, you thing he's got the better squad.

I think a good club where he can build things would be his sort of job, other than that I think he should carry on at villa and get into Europe, realistically thats all thats can be done with villa. ?

Yeah Pompey gone down, ah well, it might mean any new owners has to do things properly, not like the others who painted over walls which were falling down.?

Do you think O'Neil should be sacked?

For taking Villa from the brink of relegation to a team consistently challenging for a European spot?

Yes, it would be 'stupid' for Liverpool to try and win a game of football against Chelsea :rolleyes:

If the season wasn't over last week, it is now. Unlucky for United, really feel for Berba, just United don't play to his style.

We've done well this season considering the losses of Tevez and Ronaldo though. I hope Fergie plays a few more young'uns in the final few games to get some more experience. Getting 2nd is priority now.

That is always a million dollar question! I would say that IF, a BIG IF, we make 4th spot he should be safe! There have already been murmurings about his position. Problem is that Villa need one or two real stars and are not known as a club that spends much of it's money! As far as I know Villa are pretty sound financially and I suppose they want to keep it that way! They are in about 25th place in terms of earnings worldwide. This does not always mean that much because all the top clubs have huge debts and they all show (Report) operating losses!

O'Neill with enough time and funds can definitely get far in Europa,seeing how you've beaten Chelsea,Liverpool and United this year you might have a good chance for the CL spot but I think Manchester City's cash will make it before you.Less 'slumps' in the league are a must though.

Yes, it would be 'stupid' for Liverpool to try and win a game of football against Chelsea :rolleyes:

I think the last thing a Liverpool fan wants to see is United winning the 19th,in that sense helping them would be 'stupid'.

Stupid to surrender a Champions League spot?

Imo they've already lost that long ago,5th place is the best they can do.

Forgot about the Man Utd game yesterday due to nice weather and spending time with the GF, but we remembered about 6pm and put MOTD on record as we were heading off for a BBQ.

Watched it when we got in (MOTD), all I have to say is LOL. Berbaflop better get his ass 4000 miles away from Old Trafford this summer, one of the worst signings for 30 million in ages. I don't care if he has skill, one of the laziest players ever, does not fit Man Utd/Premier League football.

Well done this season Chelsea, hopefully the double is yours! I give credit where due, I'm not a football fanboy nutcase like half of you in here :p

It was like he was playing good for Spuds to be noticed by a big club and after Utd signed him he put his feet up a bit and relaxed.. that is a big game coming for us soon.. history is on our side and we haven't lost a derby game for quite some time.. RvP is expected to return for the game so expectations are high..

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack :p :D

Robin Van Persie is back in the Arsenal squad for the North London derby at Tottenham.

The Dutch striker has been sidelined since mid-November with ankle ligament damage but is expected to feature at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night - albeit from the substitutes bench.

"He is in the squad for tomorrow's game," revealed Ars?ne Wenger at his pre-match press conference.

"It's a bit premature maybe [for Van Persie to start the game] so I will see but he is in the squad. I haven't picked the team yet.

"When I pick a player it means he is fit and sharp and has worked very hard. Of course he lacks match-practice but physically he is ready, he is fit."

Does 7th place get the europa league spot now? considering Portsmouth is banned from europeon football due to being in administration and chelsea will finish in the top 4? Meaning everyone in contention for that champions league spot is now 100% certain they will finish high enough for the europa (which is better than not being in europe at all)?

    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
