The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Matt]

More like, Ashley Young gets chopped in half and the protests are waved away.

If this happens, I will not stop laughing for weeks.

[9 to 5]

Veteran Sweden defender Olof Mellberg says he will retire from international football after the European Championship. The former Aston Villa man, 34, has won 112 caps for his country.

Desperately sad news. At least next season we get Kasper Gorkss and his also-wonderful beard.

Hardly desperately sad, but I have always liked the guy as a player and it is always a bit sad to see good guys pack it in At least he is going out at the top.

More like, Ashley Young gets chopped in half and the protests are waved away.

Don't build a reputation for diving then. It's happened to Suarez. But, like Matt, if this happened I would laugh myself silly for weeks.

[Lineker]

Robin van Persie has been named the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year. Deserved, unfortunately

QPR have appointed Mike Rigg as the club's new technical director. The move reunites the 43-year-old with R's boss Mark Hughes - the two worked together at Manchester City, Blackburn and Wales.

Oi Linekles, where is the Villa team news

[jack95]

I assume some people must be watching Villa-Bolton? Hoping Bolton win because nobody likes McLeish and as a Midlands based Charlton fan I'd love to be going to Villa Park next seen. Villa are doing annoying well though.

[Lineker]

Summ is watchng. I am on the Tube. Sowwi.

[brenchill]

1-0, get in Warnock.

Bit of magic from N'Zogbia I hear.

[Summers]

We're losing 2 - 1. We just scored. Then conceded an unlucky penalty. Then conceded again.

We've fallen apart.

[brenchill]

What the...? I know Skysports.com Score Center is slow but that takes the piss.

[Summers]

All happened in 3 minutes.

[The Future]

man, fuck Alex Mcleish.

[Berober]

I give up. Might as well start looking into ticket prices at the King Power stadium...

[MDK]

Lonely in here, isn't it

[brenchill]

I can't even comprehend a loss tonight. That puts us just 3 points above the drop zone with West Brom to play away, Spurs and Norwich.

[jack95]

That was an insane three minute spell! Just as I was contemplating switching to Chelsea-Barca as well!

[Cymbols]

Not being funny, but Villa are going down. I can feel it.

[Sam]

Where can you feel it?

[IAceI]

In his loins I bet.

[Berober]

I feel it in my fingers. I feel it in my toes...
