Gabby? Where's Gabby?
-
It's on Setanta Ireland, that's my afternoon sorted in front of the 50 inch tv my housemate owns!
-
Stan has just said Albrighton starting and bent up front on own
Gabby? Where's Gabby?
Maybe he got injured in the warm up?
When I heard the team news around ten past it said one change.
-

-
Ireland got injured in training yesterday. Gardner & Lowry added to the bench. Although that was early news and he is now on the bench.
-
Is Clark injured? He's not really going to Forest, is he?
-
That's the team I've wanted to see for a while now. Hopefully they win and McLeish doesn't change the winning formula, but we'll see. COYL!
-
Doubt that would be sanctioned with Cuellar still out and Clark was being bigged up by Eck today. Must have a problem.
-
Bannan in for Heskey.
Get in there my son! Show the world what you can do.
Come on my Villa boys! Let's rip them apart.
-
Seems like the most attacking line-up I've seen from us in a while.
UTV
-
Brian Little's pink shirt on setanta Ireland is well dodgey!!!!!
-
Anybody got a link or even somewhere I can start looking what with no myp2p?
-
Is Clark injured? He's not really going to Forest, is he?
Bleedin' better not!
-
Google live streams, but not finding much other than sopcast links and wanted a veetle
-
Where's Jenas?
-
Still injured.

There's one other very good stream ... can't comment more though.
-
Amazing Blackburn result?!!!
-
Right come on Villa, win and win well.
-
better crowd?
-
Come on you Villa boys!
-
better crowd?
Sounds like not.
-
harsh on Bannan

Delph needs to stay on his feet!
-
Delph needs to stay on his feet!
-
How the fuck was that a free kick?
-
GABBY!!!! Get in!!! 1-0 Villa!
-
And we're back in time for gabby's goal
-
Super Gabby
-
Gabby!!!!!
-
What a ball by Banna, great goal Gab!
-
Against the run of play but fair play! Bannan had a hand in it!
-
This site is desperately slow again ...
-
Five foot eight, not much weight, Barry Bannan's fcuking great!
Nice one Gabby!
-
goal 1-0 Gabriel Agbonlahor
-
BB put in a great ball!
-
Gabby the new Benty!
I still think crowd looks better than Wolves game, at least 35k I reckon.
-
Great effort by Bannan.
-
Really enjoying Bannan in this free role.
-
Great effort Bannan
-
Just got back in, heard Gabby's goal on 5L! Superb, now - Four more! Four more!
-
Gabby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Good goal by Gabby, proves he should be in the middle and not out on the wing...
-
Much better football there.
-
Playing some really good football.
-
We look like we are up for this one :)
-
Hutton, not great.
-
Good goal by Gabby, proves he should be in the middle and not out on the wing...
Does it?! - scored 2 other goals this season you know!
Let's hope the Villa management are not making decisions on the basis of one data-point.
-
Hutton, not great.
Give him time
-
Hutton, not great.
Give him time
Ah yeah, you're right.
-
Still think Gabby looks more dangerous when he's running in from the left. However, great to see the freedom players have when we have the ball, resulting in that Gabby goal.
Also, Bannan really is something.

It was your use of the word "prove".
-
Ba was left free there.
-
Fucking Delph be careful.
-
Delph havin a bit of a mare
-
Delph holding onto the ball too long on a couple of occasions now.
-
Referee is fond of his whistle!
-
swansea 2-0
-
Having beezlebub commentating is not pleasant; always sees the negatives in the Villa game.
-
Did we just miss an absolute sitter..?
-
What a great run from Petrov - and what a miss from Bent!
-
How he miss????What a ball from N'Zogbia
-

Well pardon me for using the wrong word. My point still stands that in MY opinion Gabby is better played in the middle than out on the wing.
-
How the fuck did Bent miss that?
-
Great from N'Zogbia and Petrov, unluckly from Bent
-
This site is desperately slow again ...
sorry
- we're working on it. i reckon it was gone for 4 mins
Bent should have made it two.
-
Looking good and creating chances. That's what happens when you don't have a non footballer playing behind the strikers.
-
How the fuck did Bent miss that?
He is playing with Heskeys boots :)
-
We are playing good football here.
-
Hutton, not great.
Give him time
Ah yeah, you're right.
YEah, but not seen him do anything right yet. Would rather have Luke Young so far.
-
Great save from Shay!
-
Great save from Shay. Superb!

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Aston-Villa-Ciaran-Clark-Nathan-Baker-both-loan-targets-for-Nottingham-Forest-article798290.html
Saw this which is why I was wondering where he was. Don't understand where the cover for defence injuries is if he went off on loan.
-
Radio5 quite surprisingly complimentary about our football.
-
We need to get three in the midfield to stop these free runs they're getting, especially from our occasional laxity in possession. Get Bannan more involved in possession in the centre, we need to stop their breaking and control the game.

No its mine, would Sir like the 5 min argument or the full 10 mins?

Arhh, the Mirror ...
So do we know where he is now? - not on the bench, again - is he injured?.
-
I have promised the missus that I will do some work around the house today, gotta paint like fuck at half time.
-
n'zogbia has been caught on the ball lots already, needs to stop holding onto it so long.
Bannan has been great so far, petrov playing well also.
-
Living dangerously ...
-
They are putting on the pressure.
-
We are under the cosh a bit here.
-
... but some great passing!
-
He's a team player that N'Zogbia
-
Great until final ball by N'Zog there.
-
Bannan is some player. N'Zogbia....so frustrating there.
-
Thick from Zog there. Wasted everyone else's good work, especially the patient Collins and Bannan.
-
I have promised the missus that I will do some work around the house today, gotta paint like fuck at half time.
Bigger roller mate. Worry about the splashes later.
-

Agreed. I'd give Zoggy 60 minutes and start looking at Albrighton if he doesn't show signs of improving.
Hutton still looks a concern, as does Delph.
-

This is where you need Clark on the bench to come on for Delph and chop down the Newcastle midfield.
Would bring Marco on for the Zog at HT.
-

Good advice, I would never have got that from a woman. It would have been 'well you did promise and you can watch football any time'
-
We have got to tighten up a bit here.
-
Warnock is shit
-
Plenty of corner-defending practice here! Nerve-wracking.
-
Phew...be glad to go in 1-0 at HT
-
Bloody Zog is really having a bit of a mare.
-
Warnock is shit
Actually I was thinking that he'd done alright against Obertan so far; and possibly carrying an injury.
-
Bloody Zog is really having a bit of a mare.
Again.
-
Even in this relatively fluid form, this kind of 4-4-2 just looks difficult to hold onto possession with, and our best chance is clearly on the counter at the moment. There's no pressure from the midfield and we're inviting them onto us at times.
-
Any decent streams that don't lag?

-
Waiting for Zog to show something!!!
-
So frustrating, we keep giving them the fucking ball so cheaply.
-
Sounds like we keep giving it back to them with our long ball.
-

Agreed - we need some sustained possession.
-
Collins has been our best so far.
-
Would be nice to see (hear) somebody playing it through the midfield. For the Villa, I mean.

We essentially didn't have the ball for the last quarter of an hour of that half. We can't keep this up and expect a clean sheet.
-
Half time then. Not really convincing, but 1-0!
-
HT Time to paint...
-
Half-time.
We need to tighten up the central MF - could do with Jenas, really.
Is GG on the bench? - maybe bring him on for Zoggy, and push Gabby wide, with one up front.
-
Any decent streams that don't lag?
http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/84164/1/watch-aston-villa-vs-newcastle-utd.html
thank you.
right now we're looking really bad at keeping possesion and just letting Newcastle keep the ball.
-
We played some nice stuff. We need to tighten up though and take our chances.
-
McLeish needs to have a word with a few players. They took the foot of the gas for about 15 to 20 mins there.
-
Some decent football at times. Bannan involved in every thing positive.
N'zogbia poor and Delph careless at times. Worrying how a very average Newcastle side can have so much of the ball and put us under a considerable amount of pressure.
The performance will probably have to improve if we are to win the game.
-
I'm worried about Bent. He's been looking a bit poor all season.
-
HT Time to paint...
If you're doing the ceiling, remember the shower cap for your hair.
-
I really don't know what our problem is here, if not for Given and Gabby and the fact that there front 2 this far are useless we could be 4 or 5 down.
Have to say it, terrible display, N'Zogbia from what i can see is simply not good enough at this level, he must change gear second half, Delph has dropped us in it so often i've lost count and where is Darren Bent what is he doing..........
If it carries on like this as we get other side of 65-70 I would take Bent of play 5 across the centre because they are running riot and coming back at us at will, take of Delph and bring some one on a little less obvious in his play.
-
Think Fabian Delph has had an absolute nightmare in midfield. We are getting overrun there big time. Would help if Petrov stayed goalside more often. Thats the problem playing two up top, we are desperately lightweight in midfield. Bent looks in awful form this season really. Some miss. Nzogbia is working harder I feel than in previous games but nothing coming off for him.
Dunne and Collins have been very good. Gabby took the goal well and looks sharp the odd time he gets the ball. Bannan looks tidy but is also giving a lot of space defensively. Very little else to be enthused about. Id bring in Jenas for Delph at half time though Petrov seemed as if he was limping at half time there.
Cabeye is running the game for them in midfield. Looks a really good buy.
-
HT Time to paint...
feck it, I am having a beer instead
-
and dont kick the paint over when we miss
-
We are playing good football here.
Yeah not having the ball for 30 odd minutes is great stuff.

If we haven't got the quality across the midfield area's in the 2nd half we must put bodies there, see how it goes, take Benty of, leave Gabby up top and play 5 across the middle and at least try to crowd them out.
-
Looking at our bench and we don't really have a player who can thicken up our midfield or replace Delph with Jenas and Clark out. Both Gardner and Ireland have their strengths further forward. Maybe Herd?
-
Warnock is shit
He's been pretty decent so far!
-

The performance will probably have to improve if we are to win the game.
Newcastle's strength is in the midfield and they're all comfortable on the ball. We need the midfield three (can't really count the Zog) to be more disciplined in their roles, it's all a bit too cavalier for my liking. I'd bring on Albrighton, if not now then certainly on 60 minutes as Newcastle's full backs look weak and N'Zogbia, apart from the through ball to Petrov, is offering nothing. Hutton, with every minute, just makes me realise how much we miss Luke Young.
Apart from that, everybody else is playing their part and it's been entertaining, especially the first 20 minutes. Let's step it up a level and take the 3 points which will as results stand, see us up to 4th place tonight.
-
Can someone answer me this - has Bent scored at the Holte End yet?
I don't believe he has, but wasn't 100% sure.
-
Looking at our bench and we don't really have a player who can thicken up our midfield or replace Delph with Jenas and Clark out. Both Gardner and Ireland have their strengths further forward. Maybe Herd?
Popimt taken but they are midfielders and it looks like we will have to have numbers there if we are to hold on.
Lets hope we can shape up better.
More needs to be put through to Gabby he's a hella at the moment if he can get another, or anybody we are home and dry
-
This the second or third game in a row I've seen people saying Delph is terrible. Perhaps we're expecting too much of him. Jenas to step in sooner rather than later. We got any good options on our bench for the midfield? Bent doesn't seem with it. Thank god for Gabby.
-
Paul McGrath is there!
-
would be a very brave call from McLeish to take off Bent. The right one though but I cant see him doing it.
-

I don't believe he has, but wasn't 100% sure.
He'll score today. Lottery numbers after the game, too busy now.
-
HT Time to paint...
feck it, I am having a beer instead
I bought 8 damaged cans before the game from sainsburys all different but most 568ml (intended to get one) got to the till 50p each job done!
-
Close Gabby, he's on form.
-
Unlucky Gabby.
-
Close from Gabby. That's two missed by a total of 12 inches.
-
Villa fans are quiet again today.
-
I can see us banging a few in today (wishful thinking )
-
I'm worried about Bent. He's been looking a bit poor all season.
He's minted ;)
-
Newcastle's strength is in the midfield and they're all comfortable on the ball. We need the midfield three
True, as per last week against Everton, who also had a strong midfield five. We almost succumbed there.
-
Acc to 5L only one scoring chance through to Bent so far. Gabby on fire, but I'd like to see us using all our scoring options!
Bring on Albrighton!
-
We will need another goal if we are to win this one. I cant see us with a clean sheet after 90 mins
-
Acc to 5L only one scoring chance through to Bent so far. Gabby on fire, but I'd like to see us using all our scoring options!
Bring on Albrighton!
Is that Alan Green?
-

Better - good passage of play.

We are playing well again now, short snappy passing.

Get a second villa.

Agreed. The BBC have this chap from the 1800's commentating on the Bolton - Norwich game. Quiet hard to understand what's actually happened there!
-
Great work from Bent there.
-
Well pinched by Bent, he should have tried to hold it up a bit though.
-
Fook.. off the bar! We need a goal badly.
-
Bollocks. 1-1.
-
Crap!!!!!!!
-
We need to tighten up a bit... FUCK
-
fuck
-
Fuck.
-
Been coming.
-
Bollocks
-
They deserve it, we are the fucking home team and sitting back.
-
Terrible defending there.
-
can't say it wasn't coming
-
If you don't press the ball, that's what happens. If you don't keep the ball, if you invite pressure, sooner or later your opponents will find a way through.
-
regret those missed chances
-
Come on lads, step it up. We have time.
-
Leon Best has been terrible today but Newcastle deserved that.
Management flunking the obvious change imo. Bent and Nzogbia have to be called ashore and the midfield stiffened up with Ireland and Albrighton
-
If you don't press the ball, that's what happens. If you don't keep the ball, if you invite pressure, sooner or later your opponents will find a way through.
We can't adopt that as our strategy. Letting teams come to Villa Park and be all over us is simply not on.
-
We need to keep the effing ball! Possession.
-
Off-side!
-
We need to get hold of the ball.
-
We can't just hold on to the ball can we?
-
Leon Best has a pretty good record for a shit striker, but the flag should of come up...
-

No idea who it is - but said some nice stuff about Paul McGrath.
Come on Villa.
-
No way that was a foul by Petrov!!
-
We are fucking pathetic. It's like we want to draw every game :-(
-
This isn't working McCleish.
Change something.
-
Thats what happens when you go 1-0 up and sit back so deep, and when you couldn't pass water. We're playing just like Blues under McLeish, go 1-0 up and play like the away team at home. Fucking dire.
Oh and Fabian Delph is garbage, Championship player at best.
-
This is going to be a long 25 mins followed by a longer season.
-
FFS Collins and Petrov not on the same wavelength
-
Are we going to hang on for a draw now? Becoming a habit.
-
Albie and Ireland about to come on, it seems.
-
not sure why we're taking bannan off.
-
Albie and Ireland about to come on, it seems. Petrov going off makes the central mid look a little light to say the least.
-
wasn't going in anyway. bloody hell.
-
This is fucking dire.
1 shot on goal.
All that needs to be said.
Why do we have this moron managing our team?
-
So Bent's had two quality chances today.
-
Strange substitutions I must say.
-
McLeish bottled that substitution. Newcastle will win this
-
Woeful, :(
-
This is fucking dire.
1 shot on goal.
All that needs to be said.
Why do we have this moron managing our team?
In fairness, that's on target, not one shot overall.
However, why Bannan is off the pitch and Zog still on is a bit of a mystery to me.
-
Zog's had a poor game so far.
-
This is fucking dire.
1 shot on goal.
All that needs to be said.
Only if you're an idiot.
Gabby's goal.
Bannan's volley.
Bent's two misses.
That's four at least.
-
Umpteenth crucial error from the number five in marking and umpteenth goal conceded to an average opponent.
And still he plays in the starting XI. If there wasn't to cry there would be to laugh.
-
This is fucking dire.
1 shot on goal.
All that needs to be said.
Why do we have this moron managing our team?
If you want to blame anybody, why not start with Darren Bent?
-
Very disappointed he took Bannan off. He seemed the only one likely to do anything today.
-
This is fucking dire.
1 shot on goal.
All that needs to be said.
Only if you're an idiot.
Gabby's goal.
Bannan's volley.

yea sorry I did mean on target haha.
It feels like we're the away team even though we're playing at home :(

This is fucking dire.
1 shot on goal.
All that needs to be said.
Why do we have this moron managing our team?
Sorry, what game are you watching? - Bent's had 2, Gabby 2 also. Banna and Petrov also had shots that were not shabby.
We're blowing it in midfield where the Geordies are outnumbering us.
-
N'Zog is having a mare
-
Is it me or do we look utterly clueless.
-
better from the Zog but he should have made it count
-
This is fucking dire.
1 shot on goal.

In fairness, that's on target, not one shot overall.
However, why Bannan is off the pitch and Zog still on is a bit of a mystery to me.
Yes, you have to question the manager on this - unless Bazza is injured, the manager is a tit. Maybe Zog is going roll out the magic in the last 10 mins.
-
Come on Villa. Sounds like we're at least attempting to go for this. Dunno why we sat back for so long in this game.
-
Gabby is still fast a fuck :)
-
A good cross from Zog - good job I was sitting down for that!!
-
2 poor decisions from Albie in succession.
-
Fucking hell Marc composure.
-
We're starting to look a bit more dangerous at least.
-
If we go for it we will win this, we are not able to sit back
-
Maybe bring Fonzie on for Bent?
-
Fuck sake
-
Come on Villa!
Heard booing on the substitution for Petrov. Understand why people might be pissed off at the lack of goals after the first one, but what was that about? Anti Petrov, anti Ireland or anti McL for taking Bannan off? Just wondering!
Still time to get a winner and we're playing better! C'mon!
-
Fucking hell Marc composure.
There are a few players who would benefit from that bit of composure
-
It may have been the Newcastle fans booing Ireland?
-
Bloody hell Marco, calm down lad! Take a touch!
-
Warnock's been great today.
-
Really good commitment from Warnock.
-
Well done Warnock.
-
Dingles and the Boggies losing
-
Warnock one of our better players today.
-
Better from Hutton
-
Dingles and the Boggies losing
They have been for the last eighty minutes.

I only just bothered to have a look
-
Att: 34,248
-
34k attendance? I predicted 35k
-
I think when Hutton's had a proper run of games, he'll start to look a pretty damn good signing.
-
Fucking hell Marc just think.
-
A win could take us up to 4th or 5th
-
MoM ? Given?
-
More crap from Warnock ;)
-
Go on Fonzie.
-
Forward threat has been almost non-existent in the 2nd half. Can Delfouneso do it for us?!
-
I am never selecting Bent as my Fantasy league captain again.
-
Warnock's been great today.
Yes, I agree.
-
I think when Hutton's had a proper run of games, he'll start to look a pretty damn good signing.
I agree, he needs a bit of time and encouragement to settle down
-
Hope Bent isn't too seriously injured.
-
Brillaint friggin' save from Given!!
-
That save is unreal.
-
I told yee Shay Given was world class and some didn't believe me.
-
What a fucking save Shay.
-
This game had 1-1 all over it!
-
It may have been the Newcastle fans booing Ireland?
5L had it as dissatisfaction from Villa fans but that seems more likely.
OOh ! after that save, Given as MOM!
-
Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
should have held it
-
I am never selecting Bent as my Fantasy league captain again.
I'll be dropping Bent and Zog...this was their last chance! :D
-
Given - best keeper in the Prem?
-
A goal here would be nice
-
Given - best keeper in the Prem?
Don't say that they will sell him.
-
cabeye best player by a mile on the pitch.
mcLeish is truly a desperate appointment. horrible 442 formation leaves us completely overrun in the midfield and he didnt try and change it once during the game.
-
Corner, here we go. with 3 mins added for us to equalise
-
holding on for a draw....
-
What a miss, we are riding our luck here
-
Inviting pressure = concede goal
-
he's not offside Collins, you're playing him on.
-
Come on villa, just nick a goal from somewhere
-

Indeed Cabaye is the best player on view, a situation not helped by McLeish taking off our best two midfielders and leaving on our worst two. Mysterious.
-
We just haven't commanded the game other than in occasional flashes. Poor, really, and reminiscent of the last two games.
The Cabaye and Tiote partnership for the barcodes looks good, though.
We're in for a long season.
-
What a dreary team we are.
-
We do not look good. Long season ahead. Empty seats every week if we keep serving up insipid shite.
-

Indeed - I pray that when JJ is fit we play 3 CMF.
-
Ugh. It's going to be a long, long season.
-
Both Cabaye and Tiote were signed from the continent for £3 or 4million each.
Shows what is out there if you look.
-
We are decent at the back. Gabby is a good lone striker. The rest is a mess.
-
Worst performance by Villa so far this season.
-
pls go mcleish you're terrible.
