Available Sunday lunchtime.
-
I'm abit worried with no Collins and Albrighton. I hope Clark can cope with the constant long balls.
-
Come on you Villa boys, please win!
-
hmm, clark and dunne got bullied up at st james's. And Hogg and Bannan against their three in midfield is a risk too. Do we assume Ireland plays central with Young on the right? GH has been saying Ireland has been good in training.
I'm sure under MON Collins or Albrighton would have played today, even if half fit.
I thikn there's quite a high chance we'll get turned over today. But we still have the weapons to damage them.
-
Midfield looks too lightweight to me but we shall see....
-
Haven't seen any team news today - what's our line up?
-
Ireland is playing off Gabby and Ash is on the left wing. Hope Albrighton's and Collins' injuries aren't too bad, good luck lads.
-
Haven't seen any team news today - what's our line up?
Blackburn: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Dunn, Jones, Pedersen, Hoilett, Roberts, El-Hadji Diouf. Subs: Bunn, Kalinic, Goulon, Hanley, Morris, Chimbonda, Mame Diouf.
Aston Villa: Friedel, Luke Young, Dunne, Clark, Warnock, Downing, Ireland, Hogg, Bannan, Ashley Young, Agbonlahor. Subs: Guzan, Pires, Delfouneso, Osbourne, Lichaj, Herd, Lowry.
Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland)
-
And still Ozzy makes it on the bench, but no Saliou.
What shirt number is Pires?
And finally - link to a stream of the game please?

Bit of a worry - may be susceptible to Blackburn's aerial onslaught, but if we can get the ball down and play (which Big Sam will try and stop that) we should at least score. Hopefully Ash will be on the right of a 5-man midfield rather than just behind Gabby
-
Would be nice to see Pires get a run out later
-
that is a poor blackburn side too. If we can keep Pedersen quiet in midfield it will be crucial.
Also hope Ireland is on the right of midfield. He had some good games for City and the ROI there. We cant afford to have him floating around hiding in the hole.
-
And still Ozzy makes it on the bench, but no Saliou.
What shirt number is Pires?
I think he has number 8
Good to see old campaigner Clark back for this one - hopefully the General can sort Big Baz out with some NFL gear he'll need it against this prison outfit.
-
Loving some of the goals they're showing from Pires on sky, more of the same today please Bobby.
-
Pires is class, I'm sure he'll be very useful.
-
Any minute now I'll be asking if anyone's got a decent non-Veetle thread (I use Linux and can't get Veetle to install - will have to wait til teenage son comes home for Christmas!)
-

None veetle stream as requested
-
Morning all.
I had no idea Collins was injured, did he pick that up in midweek? Albrighton will be a big loss.
-
Check out the pony tail on Balckburn's new owner!

Cheers
-
Come on Villa!
-
Nice tackle dunney. crap shot.
-
Sloppy start.
-
great ball from Ireland to Downing, save Robinson.
-
Hogg has got to sit deeper in midfield.
-
What minute do you reckon Warnock will be booked today?
-
Any news on the quality of the naan breads up at BollEwood?
-
It's a bit limp on the old match thread today. Somebody say something really negative, please. That should liven it up.

GAH! We are absolute gash! - my pleasure Jimbo! :)
-
Save from Robinson after Ash's shot.
-
Ahhhhh - close.
The ref is part of play. it's called tough.
He wasn't injured.
-
We really should play our home games in these claret shorts. Looks much more personal when there's only claret and blue, not white
-
Why did we just waste that corner? I hate short corners..
-
That Givet makes Dunne look svelte.
-
Why did we just waste that corner? I hate short corners..
Its gotta be MONs fault as was that tackle by the ref.
-
Warnock doing well.
-
Afternoon all.
Hope all yer streams are okay, I'm having to listen to TalkShite.
-
come on Villa... we look ok so far
-
any live links please?
-
Ireland is a wuss. Dunne is just not good.
So we surely need the luck of the irish (or at least they don't mess it up)
-
Ireland's body language isn't good at the moment.
-
Hoilett = Toilet
-
This is a truly dire game of football.
-
The new owners look like the people who swindle Del Boy in the early Only Fools days
-
we gone off the boil last 10 mins
-
any live links please?
-
good ball by ireland.. wrong player went for it
-
We need to stop giving away free kicks which they can lump into the box.
-
Blackburn are a dreadful team, we need to win this.
-
It'll tikka bit of skill to win up here.
-
bannon does a NRC
-
Stupid challenge by Warnock.
-
FFS Warnock, why do that?
-
Stupid foul by Warnock
-
any live links please?
Here (http://www.espa.tv/embed.php?channel=rus9&width=780&height=560)
-
Blackburn's main tactic seems to be to whack the ball directly at the keeper from free kicks, whilst their players run into the keeper as it comes in.
Given that, us giving them a constant supply of free kicks to do it from isnt the cleverest idea.
-
What on earth has happened to Warnock? I swear if he found a cat in the street he'd shove it in a wheelie bin.
-
is it me or is Ireland a passenger,he cannot tackle. they are roughing up Brad too
-
We need to get hold of the ball.
-
A masterclass in giving the ball away there.
-
We have no one who can hold the ball at the moment. The ball is bouncing off Gabby under pressure from Samba and Ireland is just someone who is running around the pitch aimlessly.
I would swap Young and Downing and get them on their natural wings just to stop them having to come inside all the time.
-
Big Sam was the instigator of Hoof Football.
-
Big Sam was the instigator of Hoof Football.
And Diouf football

Time for Pires?
-
Drab half so far. More atmosphere in my living room - and there's only me and the dog here. And she's asleep
-
Imagine watching Blackburn every week. zzzzzzz
-
I bet Sky are delighted they picked this one.
-
Imagine watching Blackburn every week. zzzzzzz
Imagine watching Blooz vs Blackburn?
-
Delap style ball driying from MGP, I notice.
-
Imagine watching Blackburn every week. zzzzzzz
Imagine watching Blooz vs Blackburn?
Hot bath and cold razor
-
I bet Sky are delighted they picked this one.
"contractual obligation" ;-)
-
As a spectacle, watching Fat Sam clip his own toenails would be more exciting than this.
-
This is so wretched, I'm almost looking forward to tonight's dreadfest of X Factor and I'm a Celebrity.
-
Anything happened yet?
-
Are those hot towels they get to wipe the ball with when taking a throw-in?
-
I bet Sky are delighted they picked this one.
I never understood why this one was picked. Not the wisest move
-
I have just been sat on the post match thread wondering why there were so few comments. You didn't even post the team news!
What have I missed?
-
Ireland has just done something. I think I need to lie down.
-
Anything happened yet?
Sod all.
Downing needs to cross those balls in low like he did last week for Albrighton. Gabby doesn't have a chance in the air today.
-
And speaking of towels, can one not book the ****** for time-wasting? Is there not a Law to outlaw this annoying practice?
-
Ireland is struggling here.
-
Diouf is a dirty bastard
-
Ireland is an infuriating player. He seems to have a routine of playing a great flick or pass, then following it with ten dreadful passes straight back to Blackburn.
-
Rubbish pass downing. the support was there.
-
Diouf elbowing someone? Surely not.
-
It's 1.15am here, I've got to be up at 8 to get to the Post Office to collect a parcel before I head to the airport. Why the fuck did I think it a good idea to stop up and watch this?
-
I have just been sat on the post match thread wondering why there were so few comments. You didn't even post the team news!
What have I missed?
Aliens landed and they just showed us a holographic projection of the actual birth of Christ. Warnock's head exploded, and Ireland scored 40 goals with his undercarriage. Then Fat Sam pleasured a zebra in the centre circle. So, not much really.
-
Need to keep the ball on the deck and pass it round them, crosses high into the box won't work.
-
Ireland is an infuriating player. He seems to have a routine of playing a great flick or pass, then following it with ten dreadful passes straight back to Blackburn.
Like his country of birth - he is bankrupt ...............of effort and idea - get rid
-
Fucking hell, Warnock, you tit.
-
fucking hell Warnock, think.
-
Another stupid foul
-
You stupid, stupid ****** Warnock.
Fucking brainless.
-
ffs
-
BOLLOCKS.
-
Well done Warnock you fucking idiot.
-
fridel FFS
-
What a surprise. They're fucking shite.
-
We're going to get fucked by one of these free kicks if we're not
Ah bollocks.
-
Fucking hell. stupid challenge and stupid result. poor by friedel.
-
And there you have it.
-
Warnock can fuck off, needless free kick after needless fucking free kick, fucking waste of space
Friedel, you know you done bad
FUCK SAKESSSSSSSSSSS
-
That's all down to Warnock. 5 seconds left to half time and he fould Diouf on the way to the touch line. Amateurish would be a compliment
-
Houllier, as ever the fucking late-goal specialist.
-
Shock, horror Warnock atrocious again. Get fucking rid of this ******.
-
Nice one Warnock, give another free kick away in a dangerous position. What was Brad flapping at then ffs.
-
Warnock can fuck off, needless free kick after needless fucking free kick, fucking waste of space
Friedel, you know you done bad
FUCK SAKESSSSSSSSSSS
Stupid free kick to give away.....fucking diabolical goalkeeping display from start to finish for Friedel. We look ok going forward but our lack of quality forwards is very apparent, again.
-
How very predictable
-
Petulance by Warnock cost us on half time.
-
our passing got worse.... we can too many free kicks away.. this blackburn team is poor ... the only way they would score was from a freekick and we kept giving them away......
-
Right well second half we have to get the ball down and play it around them. Hogg needs to actually get involved. Warnock needs to make up for his fucking idiocy.
-
Fucking ada. As soon as Warnock goes near Diouf the cheating fecker falls like a felled tree. Very, very few footballers I detest more than Diouf, and he sums up the scheming, cheating fat shit of a manager that Blackburn have.
Friedel, Dunne and Warnock aside we have done ok.
Ireland always on his heels though.
-
Utterly brainless by Warnock, how often do I have to watch this guy dive in, time and time and time again. I can only conclude he is thick and knows no better. Then compounded by Friedel flapping at nothing
Hadn't quite realised how powder puff Ireland is and the game has passed Hogg by. Bannan has been excellent. Paying the price for being wasteful when we were all over them early on.
Meanwhile, Blackburn make Stoke look like Barcelona...
-
I have to say, I thought Warnock was persevering with even as he went to shit in the tail end of last season, after his decent start for us, but I'm now starting to think we should get rid.
He's a yellow card waiting to happen, and that free kick just now was pure, brainless petulance.
-
Warnock only need to Pashtun other player and we were safe.
-
This has 2-0 to them all over it. Might as well start the post match moaning.
-
Bannan looking like a footballer, Downing in spells - no-one else.
UP THE GAME VILLA.
-
lets hope we play like last weeks second half
-
That's all down to Warnock. 5 seconds left to half time and he fould Diouf on the way to the touch line. Amateurish would be a compliment
Dont even see that on a sunday morning from the players with no brains, Warnock can fuck off he's been a pub player all season
-
Warnock only need to Pashtun other player and we were safe.
All Blackburn do is hit long phalls into the box.
-
I would have Pires on quite quickly second half and I would bet my last pound on GH replacing Friedel and Warnock by the start on next season. He got rid at Liverpool for a reason, and won't say that while he needs them to do a job, but will be waving goodbye before long I am sure.
-
Downing is shocking. Couldn't pass wind. Get Pires on !!!!
-
we know what Pedersen can do sometimes, we know what he tries at free kicks , you would think our goalie would not that of all people....
-
I'd genuinely think of getting Pires on in centre mid if he's fit, because the game is passing Hogg by and we won't win a centre midfield physical battle in any case. We need to pass it around these lot to get anything out of this game.
-
How many stupid fouls have cost us silly goals this season - amateurish defending and awful goalkeeping have been our downfall .
Bannan looks very good but Ireland needs to up his game and hogg has been anonymous , we need to be winning games like this and still can do so If we up our game in the 2nd half.
-
Downing is shocking. Couldn't pass wind. Get Pires on !!!!
Are you actually watching the game?
He's been our only decent player this half.
-
Required in transfer window. Brain for Warnock, heart for Ireland.
-
I shall cheer myself up with some TheBig_Sam Tweets:
My new mustard cords are fucking ruined. On the plus side, I did see a tramp shit into a teapot on the way home. Swings and roundabouts.
-
Warnock only need to Pashtun other player and we were safe.
[Jock Accent]He needs to get the Balti Bannan[/Jock Accent]
-
1st 15 minutes when we passed the ball was decent, then we got dragged down to their level. Warnock's stupidity is no longer a suprise.
-
Ireland hiding, Downing and Young giving the ball away, Warnock brainless, Friedel all over the place -Bannan footballer
-
Ireland has pulled out of every 50/50 ball so far. He needs to put some effort in.
-
Get Ireland off, hes not bothered at all...FFS Cmon Villa
-
This is the first Villa game that I've watched via a P2P stream. I am seriously wondering why the hell I bothered.
-
There has to be some outside interference here - some high pitched noise only heard by Villa players that gets emitted when the 4th official holds up the board and paralises them. Its a fuckin joke every week 45+3 90+5 get a grip Villa. >:(
-
Downing is shocking. Couldn't pass wind. Get Pires on !!!!
Are you actually watching the game?
He's been our only decent player this half.
I agree. Downing has been ok. Far worse players out there for us today to have a go at. Warnock and Ireland for starters, and Hogg's inexperience and frailty showing I'm afraid against a more physical direct team....
-
Warnock is a friggin liability! Get him sorted or get him out!
FFS!
-
Right fucking step up Villa.
-
Paul Jewel is on the telly. His face looks like Mount Rushmore. So much space, yet so little of it taken up by actual features.
-
I really dislike Stephen Warnock. He was playing alright too for a change. He gets a whack off Diouf and as per usual takes is down for an age. Then as retaliation a mind numbingly stupid cowardly foul leads to their set piece. Awful goalkeeping from Friedel it must be said but gutless from Warnock. Take your slap and move on.
We played some great stuff early on but everyone is trying the spectacular. Think Hogg has been alright actually Bannan has been poor. Gabby hasn't tried a leg though either. Blackburn are pretty crap, they have nothing but set pieces. I have been pretty happy with Dunne and Clark. We need to stop playing killer passes. Just link it up nice and easy. Downing started great but has died out of it. We need to target Givet as he is muck.
-
Ireland has been woeful. Warnock dire. Bad mistake from Friedel however has more than enough credit in the bank to be excused. We need to severely change our approach in the second half. Pass the ball make tham work, Young A and Gabby need a little more service. We also need to exploit Downings obvious advantage over Hoilett.
-
Not really getting the run of the ball so far but Ireland looks off the pace, Gabby isolated. Downing doing well and we've had a couple of decent chances. All is not lost but if they score again then game over.
-
Get better distribution 2nd half, and AYoung and Ireland to show a bit of bottle, and i think we'll win this one.
Much as Warnock is a dickhead, Friedel should have saved that.
When we get the ball down, we actually look a good team.Don't know which game that bloke is watching who said Downing has been awful.
-
1st half summary then...
Kids doing their best, old guard letting us down.
Get all the 'superstars' out and whack a load of kids in
-
So predictable. Worried about a lack of punch up front. Blackburn are horrible to watch aren't they?!
I think we've lost every league game we've gone behind in this season haven't we?
-
Warnocks been booked seven times already this season. That is ridiculous.
-
the passing has been bollocks at times
-
Gabby isn't moving up front, he's not working their defenders or moving into space.
Ireland is bottling every challenge.
Bannan is finding it tougher against a more physical side.
Warnock has eclipsed his usual level of brainlessness.
Downing and Ashley are working hard, but when we get into decent positions out wide, there is nobody in the middle.
I think Hogg is doing ok, as is Luke Young, Friedel is taking a battering.
-
This is the first Villa game that I've watched via a P2P stream. I am seriously wondering why the hell I bothered.
2nd half Alan, we can't get any fucking worse.

I agree with most of that apart from I think Bannan has done well and Hogg has been anonymous.
-
chimbonda on for Givet...
-
Come on Villa, please show some fucking bottle now, Ireland, prove your worth a first team place every week, Warnock, step up or fuck off. Come on you Villa boys
-
This is the first Villa game that I've watched via a P2P stream. I am seriously wondering why the hell I bothered.
2nd half Alan, we can't get any worse.
Let's hope so!
My son-in-law a Spurs fan, came round to watch v Arsenal and left in despair at half-time.
Maybe I should leave in despair now and come back to a 3-1 victory ....
-
Fuck!
-
Ash great save from Robinson and then off the bar.
-
thats better ..ireland evolved in the first, unlucky with the ash effort
-
Fucking crossbar!
-
come on lads. Lets have 1-1 before i put the yorkshires in.
-
This is the first Villa game that I've watched via a P2P stream. I am seriously wondering why the hell I bothered.
how much did you pay to see the stream?
-
we can do these..they are crap..... we have upped it a little
-
Shocking defending
-
Oi up chaps
-
I'm watching how rubbish we are in glorious HD.
-
Come on!
-
We look like a makeshift team, I suppose thats what we are these days
-
Bright start to second half
-
This is the first Villa game that I've watched via a P2P stream. I am seriously wondering why the hell I bothered.
how much did you pay to see the stream?
Bugger all. It's not great and about 15 secs behind the radio commentary.
-
Think Gerard need a new coat as he look freezing cold.
-
Dunne has started poorly this second half. On the whole we need to keep going at them and keep the ball on the floor. We just need a bit of luck............
-
these are not a good side, I think we should have the beating of them. We need to play a bit of football FFS
-
Should add extra time on with Pederson drying the fucking ball and then throws it 5 yards...Dont know about Barton punching him...but im starting to feel the same....
-
tahts a booking
-
This is the first Villa game that I've watched via a P2P stream. I am seriously wondering why the hell I bothered.

So much for light travelling faster than sound.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch"
-
Shit delivery again from Ash
-
it scares me when Dunne passes a ball
-
Ash needs to give someone else a go at Free Kicks.
-
Our pulses are not racing.
-
Why oh why do they keep letting Young take free kicks. Downing and Bannan are more than capable doing better.
-
Is Pires on the bench?
-
Is Pires on the bench?
Oui
-
Since Ashley Young has a success rate of about 0.03 percent when it comes to free kicks, should we perhaps consider the possibility of, I don't know, letting someone else have a go?
-
Is Pires on the bench?
Yep,
-
Is Pires on the bench?
we will need Henry and Bergkamp too

Radio is usually in front. Got Talk Sport on radio and Sky on the goggle box. Radio about 5 secs in front
-
I can see why MoN fucked off, he realised that he had fucked the squad up. I cant see where a goal will come from
-
Come on Villa...these wankers are here for the taking now.....
-
Ireland is Poor. A true statement, any which way you read it.
-
I'm sure Pires would be able to gosht into the box.
-
Great tackle by Dunne to save Ireland's fuck up.
-
Get Ireland off.
-
Pires on for Ireland please.

Controversial. It will never work.
-
Are we playing with 10 men? Nope Ireland is fucking playing
-
Richard Dunne tremendous tackle kept us in the game there
-
Get Ireland out of the match, team, shirt and ship him to wherever....
-
Great work by Dunn
-
We are not going to get anything out of this match
-
Ireland you mong.
Brilliant from Dunne.
-
We need to keep it on the deck. High balls are just going to get mopped up by their defence.
-
Pires is warming up, Ireland could make way ?
-
Dear oh dear.
-
Cock
-
Game over set piece again.
-
Fucking shit
-
Fucking wank.
-
what a difference a week makes
-
Pederson score for Rovers :( 2-0 Down
-
Game over.
-
Fuck it
-
Oh for fcuk's sake.
-
Let's see if Pires can handle 25 mins of top flight football. We've lost anyway, we might as well give him a try.
-
Friedel has been fucking shit today.
-
We really are fucking shit arent we.......
-
Jesus wept. We get an opportunity to move up the table and feck it up as per usual.
-
Complete and utter wank, were playing Blackburn fucking Rovers and should be beating these with comfort, were fucking dreadful
-
Bag of wank..
-
We are not going to get anything out of this match
Just the realisation that we are shit
-
Blackburn fans getting gobi now.
-
most have them have been shit really
-
Poor, poor, poor.
-
"Ex Blackburn boys bring present to old team" - headline
-
Two goals two set pieces, tells the story. Ireland off for Pires.
-
Thank fuck Ireland is off
-
I bet Pires is wondering what the fuck he is doing here....
-
We've played some nice football, but we aren't tough enough.
Ireland is just crap.
-
Ireland was invisible today.
-
I hope Ireland never wears the shirt again, he ent interested in it he's a fucking waste. Robert Pires, the floor is yours
-
Do you think Pires really wants to come on and join in this rubbish?
-
Pires for Ireland. Good
-
Friedel has been fucking shit today.
I agree, he always is when put under any sort of pressure.
-
My Naan could play better than these bastards.
-
I'm not letting my spirits saag.
-
Doesn't look quite right, does it, to have a player of Pires' pedigree among such a collective rabble?
-
I hate to say it but we are missing Heskey....
-
Doesn't look quite right, does it, to have a player of Pires' pedigree among such a collective rabble?
Don't worry we will soon drag him down to our level...
-
Hardly surprising. I'd pick the fuckin' tea lady ahead of Ireland.
-
We have no height so why have we kept putting aerial balls in to the box?
-
Evening lads.
Ireland - from Man City player of the year two years ago to being subbed for a pensioner. He really needs to get his head together or his career could be in freefall.
-
It's fair enough to point out that we've a dreadful injury list, but the players who have let us down to day - I'm thinking Friedel, Ireland, Warnock - are players of no little experience, who you would expect to be first choicers.
-
Defence all over the place.
-
This has 2-0 to them all over it. Might as well start the post match moaning.
mmmm, too wasteful in attack and so easy to play through. Think we're going to have to habg on in there until Janauary.
-
Should have been 3 then
-
This season is so up and down from week to week. We just never know which Villa team is going to turn up.
-
We're being taken apart like a well-oiled Mechano set.
-
Lucky there.
-
We now need 4 to win because of the inevitable stoppage time goal thet we let in.
-
Ireland is atrocious. Get him out, along with Warnock and a new keeper.
-
It happened to us last week, lets do it to someone else for a change
-
Another big, tall bastard comes on for Blackburn.
Big Sam knows his strengths, that's for sure.
-
Better from Downing.
-
Great shot by Downing
-
There is still a point in this
-
Hogg out of his depth today
-
This is so bloody frustrating.
-
Hogg out of his depth today
Hogg is fucking dire.
-
Gabby off, he hasn't done a great deal.
-
Why are all our player looking to come short? No one looking to get behind, all this passing is getting us nowhere.
-
Another chance for Fonz to make a mark
-
Gabby off, he hasn't done a great deal.
Didn't look 100% fit.
-
Herd on for Hogg
-
Herd looks about 11 years old.
-
Toothless...
-
I don't think Hogg has been that bad today to be honest. He is meant to be the "muscle" in midfield but lacks that experience unfortunately.
-
handball
-
This is just how the Blues will play against us.
-
Would have been an extremely harsh penalty in all fairness.
-
I don't think Hogg has been that bad today to be honest. He is meant to be the "muscle" in midfield but lacks that experience unfortunately.
theres more muscle on my goldfish
-
an ball - get your own jokes blackburn

This has been so disappointing, especially after last week.
-
We look like a team heading for nil pois.
-
This is just how the Blues will play against us.
I think that is a good point.
-
Toothless...
That's because a lot of the players are barely old enough to have any.
Or in the case of Pires and Friedel they are that old they wear dentures!
-
awful
-
Hogg out of his depth today
Hogg is fucking dire.
Jeeze - give the lad a chance this is probably his third competitive match.
Anyway, he's arguably our sixth choice centre midfielder.
-
no killer instinct in the team
-
We don't seem to like playing on a Sunday.
-
Not tested the keeper enough. You've got to hit the target and make the keeper work. We haven't done that, we won't win.
-
Fuck it, I am cancelling Sky. The only reason I have it is to watch the football and this ain't worth paying for...
-
Blackburn's new owners look pissed off

They make me feel murderous.

Finally, a voice of reason!
You were declaring him the new Aaron Lescott a couple of pages back!

This is just how the digshit (fucking filter) will play against us.

We've made Robinson pull of 4 very good saves, not to mention hitting the bar. All I can remember from Blackburn is the two goals and the miss by the Spitter.
-
The Fonz looks like he means it. Time to drop Gabby?
-

Me too the only reason i have it is to watch the Villa.
-
Thats enough for me, I'm outta here.

We've tested there keeper 4 or 5 times and hit the cross bar?
-
Herd's done very well since coming on.
he has.... starts against arse '-)
-
Utterly brainless display today.
-
Dare I remind everyone that Bloes beat the Division Champions yesterday?
-
Never really looked like scoring.
-
Blackburn's new owners look pissed off
They look like a couple of right grandmothers.
-
Woeful.
-
we have probably had 120% possession second half
-
friedel MOM ;-)
-
Pires has done more in the 20 mins he's had on the pitch than Ireland has done since he signed.
-

Yep but everyone gets a good result once in a while. Not relevant to today. I think we've been OK the last few minutes.
-
Dare I remind everyone that Bloes beat the Division Champions yesterday?
NO...... They will be talking about it for years.
-
WTF has Richard Dunne got to smile about.
-
Atrocious.
-
Obviously in the minority but I think we have played pretty well today - could easily have had 3 or 4 goals. Blackburn scored a fluke first goal and had lucky bounces in area for second - all bounces for us have gone away from our players. Better than some of the sterile crap we played under MON with far more experienced players!

Granted we hit the bar. I would not say that Robinson has made four very good saves at all though. Really can't remember anything past Downing in the first five minutes. He certainly hasn't made a save that was uncomfortable.
-
Played some decent football but no cutting edge. Who knows what it might have been but for Warnock at the end of the first half
-

I have only been following this match via this thread, but is that true? I've no idea whether you're an Ireland fan or not, but if Pires has the fitness to offer something them he could be a great signing for the rest of the season.

The catering staff have saved him a couple of pies
-
We weren't outplayed today, we were outscored.

Gettin pretty sick of that happening though.
