Stop slacking Leeg! ;)
-
Come on you Villa boys, please win.
-
Is it too early in the season for a game to be a "must win"?
It certainly feels like a must win.
-
Unchanged inc subs
-
Oh dear. Early days, but the selection is so devoid of creativity it is scary.
-
I'm not impressed with that at all, if we are not winning he is going to be under pressure as early as half time.
-
Yeah not great, but come on you Villa boys.
-
Unchanged, you have to be kidding
-
WTF? That selection is awful, no creativity. McLeish is really winning us over.....
-
I can't believe Bannan and Albrighton are not in to be honest. One can pick a pass and the other can cross. Heskey and Gabby should be out for them 2 to come in and give Bent some supply.

Yes but we have a manager who has been relegated twice in 3 and a half seasons remember.....

myp2p down?
-
Well done Eck, he's picked our strongest XI, Glad to see no Ireland and Makoun
We'll win this
-
Yes indeed well done Eck,
All those goals we scored and chances we created last week have obviously steered you in the right direction.
-
Well done Eck, he's picked our strongest XI, Glad to see no Ireland and Makoun

How is it our strongest 11? No creativity at all.
-
He cannot be fucking serious. He just cannot have watched that 'attack' last week and thought "yeah, that was great, more of that please". Unbelievable.

I hope Pedersen doesn't haunt us again...
I hope that Gabby can get off to a scoring home start to the season and he can get back on track after last-years blip.
-
Behave, Zoggy, Flick on's from Emile and Gabby working the channels. There's plenty of creativity
-
Cheers ozzjim

What you been sniffin? Heskey, Gabby, creative? NZogbia is going to have to be Messi like if games at VP are going to be any more entertaining than they were under MON.

Bit of hoofball then. How wonderful.

We'll be ok, thats a strong line up

Mixture of short and long balls IMO, we'll win and keep a clean sheet, 1-0 IMO

Bit like the skies of Birmingham today

Frankly today I don't care as long as we win.

Maybe that's it. Maybe Eck is some kind of surrealist artist who picks teams which reflect his natural surroundings.
-
Frankly today I don't care as long as we win.
Excitement and winning often go hand in hand.
-
He needs something more in midfield against this lot; a good opportunity for Makoun, not taken.
-
We could have been far more attacking with our line-up if we wanted. Still, lets see how we do.
-
I'd expect to beat Blackburn at home easily enough. (for me the worst team in the league outside of the promoted clubs)
So i'd hope we'd try and play with a bit of ambition, a bit of creativity. We have players in the squad who can do that.
-

In case you haven't noticed, Makoun is not PL standard.
A stupid waste of £6m, thanks GED

Absolute bollocks.
-
For me, Makoun is one of the only players in our entire squad who can actually pick a pass. If we're looking to get it down and pass it, he'd be a decent shout.
-

Agreed. Also, if Makoun's not to standard, then what the fuck is Heskey?

No I hadn't noticed. I had noticed that he adds something positive both creatively and in the tackle.
Based on your previous comments, you seem to have a somewhat idiosyncratic opinion; fair enough/
-
So all the talk about having creativity with Ireland, and him getting another chance is nonsense then. If he's not playing, it'll be the same as last time, and he'll not be interested. Should be playing today, we need far more guile than we'll get from tumbling bear and Gabby.
-
I've not seen enough of Makoun to make a judgement to be fair.
-
Frankly today I don't care as long as we win.
Considering we're clearly scaling down, which I understand and have little issue with, all I now ask is to be entertained. That's clearly not on the agenda.

Nail on head.
-
Anyone know if Lerner is at the game today ??
-
Today should be about racking up the goals, improving the confidence and setting the scene for a half decent season, not scraping a win against arguably the worst side in the league.
-
I've not seen enough of Makoun to make a judgement to be fair.
I have
Depends entirely on what you want from him. If you view him as a replacement for NRC then you'll be let down. He is a good passer of the ball though and because he has the ability to knock it about without having to take six touches to control it, that opens up space for other people.
-
I will wait until full time before I portray knowing the ins and outs of professional football like some. Come on Villa!
-
so depressing to read the first three pages of this thread - the defeatism before we even kick a ball!
Give the manager a chance - he achieved a clean sheet last week, away from home, something that hadn't been done for donkey's years....
-
0-0 wouldn't be the end of the world
-
0-0 wouldn't be the end of the world
What? Alex, shouldn't you be giving the team talk?

Alright, now you're just smoking some really depressing form of crack.

I'd agree, if you're after a 3yard square ball, Makouns your man

0-0 at home to Blackburn would feel like a defeat to me!
-

Quite, such as running out of ketchup when I'm about to eat my bacon sandwich wouldn't be the end of the world.
But i'd be mightily pissed off.

5 in Norwegian

I think you need to rejoin your carer, mate.

thanks lads-lets hope we can win and bang in a few goals.
-

It's not like we'll be needing midfielders who keep possession, so it's no surprise McLeish wants him out the door.
And it's not defeatism, vfl. We may well win, but it's the manner in which it'll be acheived that's getting people's backs up.
-
Tell a lie, its channel 5. It seems to be switching between Swedish and English! Good picture so far though
-
Blackburn's not playing Samba; a benefit for us.

2 seconds in, long boof to Heskey, out of play, their throw. I want to cry.
-
A pretty inauspicious start.
-
First misplaced pass of the day: Warnock, and it was a doozy.
-
Fordbeck: you're right - we clearly do not need midfielders in this set-up. Everything seems to be being played in the air.
-
Steve Keane is surely a dead man walking
-
This has got all the hallmarks of a classic.
-
2 seconds in, long boof to Heskey, out of play, their throw. I want to cry.
Same.
I'm not going to another home game until either he's out the door or changes his approach. Thing is, I was relatively impressed by McLeish during preseason. This has come as a bit of a slap in the face.
I feel genuinely sorry for Bent btw. He had it pretty good last season...and now this.
-
Don't want to grumble so early but it's a pretty poor, overly direct start. Let's get the fucking ball down
-
last attack looked flowing and fast paced, looks promising
-
That's a bit better

Agree with everything you say there. We look dull as shit.

Not only that, but Villastreams has a loud Avon-calling-style 'diiiinnngg!!!' at every bloody onscreen update of a goal from another match :0@
-
WHAT A FUCKIN GOAL
-
What a goal Gabby!!!!!!
-
Fucking great goal!
-
Brilliant from Gabby!! 1-0
-
Goal, gabby!!
-
WHAT A GOAL. WHAT A FUCKING GOAL
-
Fucking Hell!
-
get in
-
yeah thats right we are boring as fuck
great build up and
great goal GABBY
-
That is a corker!
-
fabulous goal gabby !
-
I stand corrected by individual brilliance.
-
Fucking class by Gabby.
-
Now that was a fucking beauty!
-
What a Fucking goal!!
-
Beautiful goal. Only just got in, just in time to see it too.
-
Inspired selection and tactics by McLeish :P
-
Petrov is having a super game.
-
Gabby working the channels as i said pre-match
-
Awesome goal. Just as i clicked onto a stream as well!! If Ronaldo had scored that it would be shown worldwide!!
Gabbys back!!!!
-
Who needs Messi !!!!
-
Petrov's through ball was quality and set that opportunity up. But that was the Gabby of old right there... Fuck YEAH!!!
-
Having missed the first ten minutes or so, can anyone tell me what Mcleish's reception was like? Warm, hostile or indifferent?
-
Only 16 minutes in and already Blackburn look certs for the drop.
-
Afternoon all.
Gabby scored? Welcome back, son.
-
Get money on Kean to win the sack race
He makes GED look like Shankley
-
Dunn should be sent off for kicking out at Young
-
Might as well take gabby of now he's not due another for about 8 games
-
Morning all. Running late - did I miss anything?
-
Wish I paid more attention in my german class to understand this stream but so glad I saw that goal ! It will be worth the 30 second mention it gets on match of the day tonight !
-
Terrible tracking by someone who just left the Blackburn player.
-
Not especially clever defending there
-
Terrible marking down our left, there!
-
Afternoon all. Well that was a lovely goal from Gabby, here's to a few more.
-
Bit open at the back there
-
Greetings from not so sunny Gairloch, got my Wi-Fi up and working.
Good goal was it?
-
It is literally Heskey's presence in the side over Bannan/Ireland that I don't understand. As that shows, we have real talent and quality, but putting Heskey in their is a deliberate and huge sacrificing of skill and vision for strength and power, which affects our whole strategy and is seriously disappointing.
-
Playing some good stuff here, Delph looking tidy.
-
A confident gabby.
Such a difference

Not such a big fan of Heskey's pivotting these days Mont? ;)

He's a shit pivot. He's a shivot.

Looking weak in midfield without the ball - missing a third CMF.
-
Nzonzi shot forces corner
-
GK Villa
-
Keep the ball down
-
Get Emile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Heeessssskeeyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!
-
Heskey goal!
-
HEskey!!
-
Alright, that's kind of hilarious.
-
Maybe this Heskey and Gabby on the wings lark might work after all...
-
Flippin eck, Heskey!!!!
-
Gabby looking really confident passing that ball.
-
Well well well. Heskey, smart finish from edge of the area after great hold up play from Gabby. 2-0
-
Classic Heskey!
-
As the man said: "Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!"
-
Shit! Armageddon a'comin.
Well done Emile.
-
Well played Gabby for popping the ball up for Heskey! Well taken goal.
Nice set-up by Delph.
Who said 0-0?!
-
Well bugger me sideways. 2-0 up already
-
2-0 Heskey!!!!!!
-
What next, Petrov scoring? Good job Emile!
-
Classic Heskey.......rubbish first touch, falling over.....bundled in somehow.
I'll take it.
-
Blackeye for the drop, surely. Piss poor from them.
-
The goal went in on slow motion on my stream.
Must have crashed 4 times while we were moving the ball across the box.
-
I particularly liked how he fell down while shooting and it still went in!
-
They're making me look a right twat here.
Keep it up lads.
-
Radio signal is crap up here, I'm sure the commentator just said that Heskey scored.
Nah.
-
Unbelievable that these sacked Fat Sam when in mid-table

The Full Monty, Monty Python and erm, The Count of Monty Cristo, your boys took one helluva beating! ;)

Negative McLeish.
-
these turkeys are there for the taking -maybe 6-0 eastie feels in his bones!
-
...if we could only find some creativity!
-
Egg on face time for a few on here hey ;D
-
Monty you've inadvertently got the midas touch today. Quick, criticise something else about our play!
-
Really should be puttin 5 past these.
They are ATROCIOUS.
-
I think we're top of league aren't we?
-
Egg on face time for a few on here hey ;D
Like the ones who said that 0-0 would be a good result?
-
Dunne tidies up defender error to slice out Blackeye chance 5 yds out.
-
Lovely jinking run from the Zog.
-
There is always a space infront of Warnock when Blackburn come forward. Gabby or Heskey need to drop deeper when defending.
-
Can't help but think about us battering West Ham at home in the sunshine last year. Let's hope things pan out differently from here.
-
2-0 up in half hour, suns come out, still can't hear any songs!! Atmosphere at villa park is shocking!
-
Mick McCarthy in the stands.
-
Everton 0-1 QPR
Tommy Smith
-
petrov has impressed me a lot again today , seems to have his old zest back.

Lots of uncertainty about the boss didn't help back then.
-

yup. looking to push forward when he can.
-
Everton 0 - QPR 1
-
Can I just say I still agree with Monty on the whole, but obviously not complaining at the moment,
-
To be honest, since the opening exchanges we've passed the ball pretty nicely. It looked doom-laden with the first hoof, but we do have some really good footballers and they've combined nicely. We'll need more against better teams (Rovers are rubbish and may go down), but fair play for the style. We're boofing it less and less each second, and it's getting rewards.
-
Egg on face time for a few on here hey ;D
Like the ones who said that 0-0 would be a good result?
NO, the ones who were slating Eck for picking Heskey and Gabby, lmfao
-
Afternoon guys, Super Heskey....
-
Blackburn are shocking.
-
AWFUL first touch Heskey.
-
Heskey should have had another then.
-
Ah well Emile, back to form with that touch.
-
Poor control from HEskey
-
wtf heskey
-
Heskey's second touch bad.
-
Is that John Jensen in the Rovers dugout?
-
Delph is looking very energetic & is enjoying getting stuck in.
-
Delph playing very well, alongside Petrov, but large gaps appear when we haven't got the ball.
Heskey's first touch there was awful!
-
Is that John Jensen in the Rovers dugout?
I think it is.
-
Shit touch
-
Egg on face time for a few on here hey ;D

im sure nobody has any qualms about gabby and heskey playing in the team if they deliver as they are doing today-its when they dont deliver that people get angry.
-
Counter attack touch too far for Gabby...
-
FFS Heskey.
-
Heskey's first touch again! Great from dElph again, though.
-
Spanish commentators just said Dwight Yorke...
-
FFS Heskey.
His first touch has been questionable at best.
-
referee bottled that! Gabby didn't foul the keeper!
-
Must say VillaStreams is crystal clear today. Although, in the interests of impartiality, I should add that other dodgy streaming services are available.
-
GK and Gabby clash for aerial ball.
-
Delph's looking very composed. Our shape's very open but I'll eat my words and say it's pretty exciting stuff! Bent has been a bit quiet. Petrov and delph both playing really well. Good stuff
-
referee bottled that! Gabby didn't foul the keeper!
Indeed. Seems like having the cheek to get in the way of a keeper jumping all over you is a free kick.
-
Gabby looks good in that inside left position.
Heskey looks like a pain in the arse for both teams.
Anyone concerned by Given's distribution? It looks like he doesn't know which is his good foot.
-
How David Dunn hasn't been booked yet surprises me.
-

I think it's mainly Heskey that is the problem. Let's face it he wouldn't start at many clubs aspiring for the top 6 or 7 spots.

Lovely.

Blackburn are a really poor side, even worse than when we played them last season.
-

a keeper who can use both feet is a huge asset for distribution.

Anyone watching a decent stream with Eng com?

Good stuff. Once the game settled down we realised Blackburn are shite and that goals are there for the taking. All we can do is fill our boots because we won't get many easier games this season.

Hey, no problem with the formation, a good 4-2-3-1 with options on the ball. I just question opting for Heskey in the central attacking midfield role who, in spite of his goal, has been far from impressive. However, Delph, Petrov, Gabby and at times N'Zog have been very good.
-

crikey thats the silliest comment ive heard in years.

One more goal, then swap Emile for a defender and close the game off

Let's not get too carried away they're missing key players and wolves stuffed them aswell.

No, your's is. You clearly know little about football
Its why Heskey has as many international caps as he does
-
The way I'd sum up that half:
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

you think heskey could get in any of the top 4 teams-he had international caps , hes 33 now are far past his best -watched villa for over 30 yrs pal and had season ticket for most so i think i know about football and heskey could certainly not hold a place in any premiership team now-utterly laughable.
-
Boring boring Villa, fuck off Eck
Let's not get too carried away they're missing key players and wolves stuffed them aswell.
they're !!
Happy now!
-
Good half, great to see Gabby getting involved in general. I'm not totally convinced yet, but feel much more comfortable with a 2 goal lead under Mcleish than the last two managers that's for sure.
-
Heskey would hold his own in any PL team. He does so much work oiff the ball its unreal
crikey thats the silliest comment ive heard in years.

I think Heskey could easily make it into a "top 4" club, the reason why he hasn't is because we are good at keeping our best players.
-
Boring boring Villa, fuck off Eck
Lets have a little perspective.
We've looked decent at times when we've got the ball down, but blackburn are an utter embarrassment.
-
great to see gabby and petrov looking back to their best ,warnock also looks comfortable and full credit to all 11 for their 1st half display.
-
Anybody know of a live feed for the second half?
-
Lets just hope we don't come out like the team I've seen for the last 7 years who play for 45 instead of the full 90. I suspect Big Eck won't let that happen in the dressing room...
...got my tickets for Newcastle and really looking forward to it now.
-
This should give us a nice confidence rush ahead of Hereford
-
Anybody know of a live feed for the second half?
Welcome Gary, and signing up for Villastreams is totally worth it.

-
Christ, did anyone see that tackle by Cattermole? Bloody leg breaker and he seems to do it on a regular basis.
-
N'zogbia's looked promising, very direct.
-

Download vettle or sopcast mate...all the feeds are on there
-
Albrighton on for the second half, Gabby off.
-
marc looked lively at fulham , he could tear blackburn apart in this game.
-
MarkyMark on for Gabby
-
Gabby picked up a knock then.
-
Warnock clash of heads
-
Come on lads don't sit back.
-
MarkyMark needs to be alert - missed pass to him resulted in a corner to them
-

They are happy now?
-

Nah. I'm sure Fordbeck will agree that he's being saved for our game against Hereford.
-
MarkyMark needs to be alert - missed pass to him resulted in a corner to them
its marc not mark.

Well said, Westie.

MarcyMarc doesn't look good in print, though...
-
Fuck
-
Oh balls.
-
Shit. Good goal though. Excellent work down the flank.
-
Now, you can see what might happen here.
-
Flaps.
-
Comedy defending for fucks sake
-
nice set up there for blackburn .
-
Look what you done...
2-1
-
Excellent goal to be fair, that was a cracking cross.
-
Albrighton is a poor defender. He has a lot to learn.
-
Fuck that was incredible by Hoillet.
-
Squinting sphincter time again...
-
Back to last year's calamity defending there.
-
Well, that was a v good goal - particularly the timing of the run from Pedersen - but we are too 'open' and are getting caught.
-
Sign Hoilet please
-
Come on Villa put this unbelievably shit side away
-
lovely goal for them tbf.
-
Can anyone answer me this: has Darren Bent scored at the Holte End yet? I don't believe he has.
-
id rather credit hoilllet with an excellent bit of play than put it down to comic defending.
-
Heskey booked
-
How can Heskey get booked before Hoilet and Dunn?!
-
Heskey in the book.
-
Good test of our character this will be.
-

Being fair it was a quality bit of play.
-
Young off, Clark on.
-
Why did LY go off?
-
Good test of our character this will be.
True, Master Yoda :)
-
Why did LY go off?
Injured
-
Why are we shitting ourselves in this 2nd half?
-
Blackburn coming back into this.
We need to get Bent some service.
-
Warnock at right-back.
This has the potential to end badly.
-
Why did LY go off?
Injured
Oh, okay. Ta.
-
Delph booked?
-
Getting a bad feeling about this. We need to get a grip of the game. Collins at right back I presume?
Bloody hell, looks like warnock at right back!!!!
Hoilett looks dangerous
-
Delph in the book too
-
Delph booked; thought he got the ball first TBF. Ref reacted to the player's response.
-
Heskey off and give Ireland a go.
-
no beye or lichaj on the bench then?
-
Delph in the book too
Its in his contract, he has to be booked every game
-
We're much worse than in the first half.
-
Heskey does go down like a sack of shit when anyone goes near him.
-
Heskey off and give Ireland a go.
NO, just NO
-
FK finally
-
No card for Dunn?????? - inconsistent reffing.
-
no beye or lichaj on the bench then?
Who?
-
I hate this feeling. I'd rather just find out how we got on later!
-
Heskey off and give Ireland a go.
NO, just NO
Why?
-
MarkyMark close from 20 yds far post
-
I think we should buy that Hoilet, he does seem a decent player.
-
MarkyMark close from 20 yds far post
It's Marc not Mark.
-
woeful crossing Marc
-
Heskey has the touch of a ham fisted gorilla...
-
I think we should buy that Hoilet, he does seem a decent player.
Very one footed.
-
Jeeezus! - this is not good.
-
That was very poor from Heskey and very weak from Albrighton
-
Tumbling bear off, wee Barry on.
-
BB in for Esk. TFFT.
-
Go on Baz
-
MarkyMark close from 20 yds far post
It's Marc not Mark.
Yes, but as someone else said earlier, MarcyMarc looks a bit, well, gay really.
-
Heskey off Bannan on, I really want that lad to do well.
-
Heskey off, Bannan on.
-
Albrighton is not PL quality
-
BEEEEENNNNNNTTTTT!!!!!!!
-
Get innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!
-
Bent.... Get in
-
Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darren Bent
-
have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
BENTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are top of the league!!!
-
Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was getting worried.
-
Yessssssssssssss!
-
Bent in!
-
Albrighton is not PL quality
Whatever.
-
one chance and bang, bent get in!
-
Great finish by Benty
-
Albrighton is not PL quality
Behave yourself.
-
Now this I can get on board with!
-
Benty up and running 2011
-
Bentyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
-
MarkyMark close from 20 yds far post
It's Marc not Mark.
well said fd.
-
Get in!!
Doesn't miss those too often.
Bannan should help us keep the ball.
Delph has been extremely mature and composed. Very impressed indeed
-
MarkyMark close from 20 yds far post
It's Marc not Mark.
well said fd.
Touche!
-
Great stuff, Bent, heskey and gabby all in the goals
-
Feed the Bent and he will score!
Predicted 3-1 but glad to be wrong if we score a few more!
-
MarkyMark close from 20 yds far post
It's Marc not Mark.
well said fd.
Good grief. MarkyMarc then.
Sheesh.
-
I reckon there's another goal or two for us here.
I fancy Collins to get one.
-
Albrighton is not PL quality
Whatever.
So you're suggesting that Heskey could play for say, Chelsea, and Albrighton shouldn't even be in the league? What a bizarre idea...
-
Ooooooooooh nice play.
-
Wee Bazza should have opened his account after a great move.
-
Nice one Villa! I can't wait to see how Bannan does here!
-
Bannan over the bar
-
Bannan has played very nicely since he came on.
-
The goal is all well and good, but more importantly are we spelling Marcs name properly yet ?
-
I have to say I do enjoy watching Bannan play.
-

That's Marc's, not Marcs.
-
MarkMarcMaiekMackMickMuck needs to drop back a bit
-
Formica coming on, Pedersen now off
-
Well played, BB.
-
The sponsor on the BR shirts is unreadable. What a waste of time...
-
Bannan and n'zogbia seem to be on the same wavelength.
-
Banana looking lively
-
N'Zogbia must be wearing Ashley Young's old boots. Horrible free kick.
-
that fk was a bit shit
-
Zig cross not good
-
That was fabulous wing play by n'zogbia. Sensational stuff. I could get used to watching that!
-
time to close the shop off
-
Anyone feeling a bit more optimistic after this?
-
time to close the shop off
Is that a technical term?
-
Petrov booked. wtf
-
I hope Eck has noticed how lively Zog has been since Bannan's been on. They seem to be developing a real understanding.
-
Anyone know the crowd-size? VP doesn't look very full.
-

Agreed
Although I suspect Zog would love having either Ireland or Bannan alongside him.
-
Petrovic has a hit and hope from 20 yds
-
beat wolves and it will be a decent start to ecks reign , blckburn really are very poor , how the hell did kean get the gig there?
-
Given gives away corner
-
come on - one more...
-
Is that 7 yellows for us so far in 2 games?
-
Not a very good corner from N'Zog
-
no, it was Robinson
-
Suck it Dunn you maggot.
-
Anyone know the crowd-size? VP doesn't look very full.
32 and a bit
Dan AVFC: 32,319 is today's attendance.
-
We look so much better when we get the ball down and pass it. Bannan has been instrumental in this, taking up positions between the lines always available for a simple pass.
I really hope AM can see this too.
-
Anyone know the crowd-size? VP doesn't look very full.
32 and a bit
Cheers
-
Referee in "book any Villa foul" mode. Same old...
-
Is that 7 yellows for us so far in 2 games?
Yes; slightly worryingly.
-
Anyone feeling a bit more optimistic after this?
we look more solid than at any point under the French clown and his mute assistant
-
Collins taking GK again.
-
Givens legs gone again. Let's just see this out now. Nice and boring.
Kwan won't be in work by Xmas will he?
-
Collins taking GK again.
Hmmmm....
-
Anyone feeling a bit more optimistic after this?
No, it'l be the same next week you watch, people will still be spelling Albrightons name wrong, it's become a big issue now to be honest,
-
Given injury already ??
-
Anyone feeling a bit more optimistic after this?
we look more solid than at any point under the French clown and his mute assistant
ridiculous comment and very immature.
-
Collins 2nd GK not too good.
-
Collins taking GK again.
Shay must still be suffering with his hamstring.
-
I missed it. Who did clark come on for?
-

ahh bless, do you miss them, lmfao
-
Cut that bloody tippy tappy football out. Where's the hoof?
-
I missed it. Who did clark come on for?
Hesk.
-

Agreed, not the sort of comment I was hoping for.
I do feel a bit more optimistic about things, that might change when we play a decent team though...
-
One more good break would suit about now...
-

no i dont miss them but i do have respect for what they tried to do.
-
4 mins plus.
Should be safe. Although this is the Villa...
-
I missed it. Who did clark come on for?
Young
-
Bannan came on for Heskey
-
Blimey that was a close free kick
-
Bannan in sliding tackle.
-
4 mins plus.
Should be safe. Although this is the Villa...
But it is against Blackburn...
-
Given has injured himself again then
-
Olsson going close.
Should be it.
-
Nice to see Given in black and not blue.
-
4 mins plus.
Should be safe. Although this is the Villa...
But it is against Blackburn...
Blackburn are a really shit outfit.
-
I'd take Hoilet and Olsson from B'burn if we had the dosh. Both good players on the left.
-
I know silly little fouls like that are usually our undoing but I liked that wee Barry gave the tall Serb a welcome to the PL.
-
Petrov and Delph were excellent today.
-
That'll do
-
Good win, lets hope we can keep it going.
-
Bannan was great when came on. He really is a quality little player.
-
FT 3-1
McLeish, how dare you.
-
4 mins plus.
Should be safe. Although this is the Villa...
But it is against Blackburn...
Blackburn are a really shit outfit.
Yep, very poor. Relegation for the chicken merchants i think.
-
Good stuff. More football like that in general - and particularly from Bannan just after he came on and before we sat back a bit - and this could be a good season. Good on you Eck.
-
That'll do. 3pts and predicted the correct score for first 2 games...might have a go on the lottery tonight!
-
Petrov and Delph were excellent today.
I agree, NZog looked good and Bannen and Marc, a good blend in the middle and all quite young.
-
We are top of the league, say we are top of the league...........
-
Blackburn are a poor team on that showing, but some good performances nevertheless.
-
Petrov and Delph were excellent today.
I agree, NZog looked good and Bannen and Marc, a good blend in the middle and all quite young.
Its BANNAN! OMG! WTF! P-O-P! HTTP!

Calm down, Cybil.
-
loved the way the ball was coming through bannan when he came on
-
Bannan is a class footballer.
Great result. Could have been tricky.
