Zat effing KNIGHT!!!

Boy does that piss me off... a header, no less, and he found springs for his shoes.

1-0 villa over Cheslk.

 

Haha, I was just going to make a thread up on his goal, but you beat me to the punch. Can't believe he actually scored in his first match with Villa. Watch him turn out to be a quality CB with him being on par with the likes of Terry, Carragher, Cambell and Woodgate.

(That last sentence was absurd and has absolutely no truth in it. Just having a laugh)

 

Dont be so sure it was absurd. If MON gets into his head and puts him on ritalin or the psychological equivalent treatment then all the quick trigger fans will be moaning.. "WH-y-y-y-y-y dint he play that wa--a-aa-y for us?"

Answer: Because Coleman was an idiot!

 

Bit harsh on Cookie, but I agree that O'Neill is a cut above Coleman. No question about that.

Side note... Zat has been immense for Villa today. Winning every ball in the air and has cleared dangerous crosses without a problem. He's been working with O"Neill for what ... 36 hours and he already looks like a new CB.

 

I think it's well established that Coleman did his player-coaching over pints.

sometimes a player has to take it on himself to cures his own mental maladies, but being counseled helps. Refer: Eddie Johnson

Make it clear... for Zat, this is a brilliant bump. Just transferring cured nothing.

 

Ashley Young... Brilliant, Villa!

 

Now, don't get all excited about knight just yet. He is motivated, wanting to impress the fans and all and he always stepped his game up against the 'big' teams. It will not last, bet your money on it.

The fact he scored with his head was a miracle but he is still sh!t.

Good on him though, atleast its against the scum.

 

That's exactly my point... but it would be a relatively small thing for the malady to be found and cured, or at least, the condition put into relapse..

Oh my, 'Zat-luck' almost happened from the Joe Cole 'nutmeg'.

 

Weird Phil Collins Quote Alert!!!

Don't remember the name of the song, but "I don't care anymore. No more, no more."

 

as a phil collins and genesis aficionado, were you thinking of:
"Seems he met up with a gang of thieves,
Who mistook him for a man of means"?

 

Well he did it against Chelsea so I can't say I'm to upset!

We've seen this with Knight time and time again, he plays really well for a few games then he proceeds to suck for the next four months costing us goal after goal, game after game. It won't last, I'm certian.

 

Ok everyone ..... deep breath in through the nose and exhale through the mouth! Its called a cleansing breath; try it the next time Zat enters your thoughts.

If that doesn't work then maybe we can find someone to lead us in a group meditation (or medication) session.

 

It can't be THAT long before he puts in his first own goal for the club. It's always immensely frustrating to watch a player do poorly for you, and well for someone else.

Can't last. C'mon, it's Zat!

 

Seems eerily appropriate. Which kind of sums up my impression of Phil Collins/Genesis. Wonder who he/they support???

 

He has potential, I dont know how old he is but he showed flashes especially against Arsenal.

 

As long as he doesn't play this well when they make the trip down to the Cottage, I'll be happy.

But still ... I cursed a bit when I saw the recap of the game. Lunacy I tells ya.

 

Even if he goes on to play well for Villa his absence will still save us 9 points a season or more! He is now playing for his boyhood team and even a 'tard like Zat will find be up for the first few games.

I wish him well, but don't doubt he will start costing Villa points.
