Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

Right Now in Non-Shocking Alan Hutton News

LONDON ENGLAND - JANUARY 30:  Clint Dempsey of Fulham is tackled Alan Hutton of Tottenham Hotspur for a penalty kick during the FA Cup sponsored by E.ON 4th Round match between Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur at Craven Cottage on January 30 2011 in London England.  (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images)

After almost having his transfer usurped by Fulham, the Scottish FA released a statement saying that Alan Hutton was leaving the Tartan Army's camp to discuss terms of a transfer with Aston Villa. As per the Guardian's Scottish football expert Ewan Murray (in their online transfer day liveblog), the statement was later amended to omit the words "Aston Villa" and rephrased it as a "possible transfer," but I imagine that's more diplomacy than an omen of Fulham sneaking Hutton out from under Alex McLeish's nose. 

So, until something else happens, Alan Hutton will probably be an Aston Villa player. Which, I suppose, is better than nothing. He seems to be a good replacement for Luke Young, if not an improvement, but he's hardly worth getting too excited about.

Aston Villa is the cloudy day of football clubs. You almost wish it would rain, just because that would mean something was happening.

(Why yes, I am in Vancouver, how could you tell?)

Well, I'm in Portland

It’s cloudy and we’re listed at 62 degrees today. Watching this non action from Villa is saddening and makes me wonder if we’re dead. Sick of this shit…when’s hockey start?

Go Habs go.

Ruiz to Fulham makes me sick

Can you be a mid-sized club outside of London anymore?

Newcastle at least matched Fulham's offer. NEWCASTLE

A shitty yo-yo club in the bleak northeast with a maniac owner and Allan Pardew! God damn, we’re infuriating.

You know what’s the worst part? The WORST part? With a thin squad and zero transfer ability, they STILL won’t give Albrighton 90 minutes ahead of Emile fucking Heskey. If we’re going to stand pat, AT LEAST USE OUR DYNAMIC PLAYMAKERS OVER EMILE FUCKING HESKEY!

That is all.

We discuss English football from a North American perspective. Sometimes we call it soccer, sometimes, football--we don't care too much. What matters is that we're Villa til we...cry
