I'm actually happy with that side, come on you Villa boys.
-
Exciting line up.
-
It's an exciting team. At least we are looking like we want to win.
I don't expect that we will win but I'm happy so long as we are trying.
-
Can't complain about that Were clearly going for it Pity I'm on my way to Preston :(
-
Phew Heskey and Petrov out. Would like to have seen Clark in the side but let's not get too greedy, AM is not that bright. Should be exciting to see them go forward.
Come lads get into em.
-
Much more like it Alex.
-
N'Zogbia injured?
Really hope Jenas, Albrighton and Bannan step up today and cement places in the side. Most pleasing selection of the season so far for me, but then will go and get thumped.
-
This is what we have been calling for, now let's not blame the manager if it goes tits up.
Looks like a very exciting line-up, one to have a real go at them. My only concern is it probably means Bannan on the left, which I don't like.
Surprised Albrighton came straight into the team having not featured for a while - Zog not even on the bench? Must be injured, or very much out of favour.
-
5 defenders on the pitch for Manu, are they going defensive?
-
N'Zogbia injured?
Really hope Jenas, Albrighton and Bannan step up today and cement places in the side. Most pleasing selection of the season so far for me, but then will go and get thumped.
I rather get hammered 4-0 with the line up selected today than 2-0 with the lineup seen at Spurs.
Really hope Albrighton plays well. In this game last season he was outstanding.
-
Bannan could be most advanced of three in the middle, with Marc and Gabby out wide.
Jones will start in midfield for them.

Gabby could be on the Left and Bannan behind Bent. Although the team looks good, it will all decide on how the manager sends them out. 10 behind the ball and Bent isolated up front to chase forlorn hoofs means it doesn't matter which 10 he picks.
-
I'm on broad st with wife , anyone watching in.boozer
-
I picked that team in the pre match thread! excited now for this, come on you Villa boys!!
-
At least it looks like we are giving it a go.
Even if we lose would rather do that than wave the white flag even before we kick off, like at Spurs!!
-
It's a passing team alright. Just slightly worried that there's only one tackler in the front 6 (Herd). He might be in for a busy afternoon unless he gets sent off.
I'll be behind the settee if anyone needs me.
-
COME ON VILLA! Its about time we beat this arrogant bunch of c*nts!
-
Decent looking line up, hope it translates into a good performance on the pitch.
-
According to Kendrick, Zog dropped for breach of club discipline???
-
According to Kendrick, Zog dropped for breach of club discipline???
Oh great.... can't even flog him to Sunderland now.... can we?
-
After seeing the team selection I am actually looking forward to this.
We may well get striped - again - but at least we appear to be approaching it with a positive frame of mind.
That should really have been the team, more or less, for our last two games.
-
According to Kendrick, Zog dropped for breach of club discipline???
Just read this.. hopefully he just overslept or something minor and didn't rebel because of his circumstances in the squad.
edit, Charlie skipped treatment earlier in the week. Does the punishment fit the crime, I think not.
-
N'Zogbia doesn't deserve to be in the team anyway.
-
N'zog dropped from squad due to failing to turn up for treatment according to AM. Says he has been disciplined and its over with.
-
Watching ESPN you would think United are playing a European game such is the bias of the manner of presentation. All geared to what United need to do.
-
N'Zogbia doesn't deserve to be in the team anyway.
He surely deserves to be on the bench if Albrighton were to come up lame today.
-
Any good feeds anyone? Please ;)
-
N'Zogbia doesn't deserve to be in the team anyway.
He surely deserves to be on the bench if Albrighton were to come up lame today.
I'd rather we changed formation if necessary and play Ireland.
-
Am I awake or am I dreaming?
SuperMark and Super Barry in the starting XI?
Fantastic new, let's hope to see a bit of entertaining, attacking football in old Mighty Villa style!:)
-
We are about to take one hell of a beating
-
http://www.premier--streams.net/
-
Confident start.
-
You just know Young will ram those silly boos down our throught and score a screamer!
-
Well in Albrighton
-
Afternoon all (and hello again to Risso! )
Just in, looks like we've made a half-decent start. I'm happy with that starting line-up (well, maybe not the defence....) so I hope it comes off. It's certainly worth trying against teams poorer than Man Utd, anyway.
-
Come on lads put a foot on the ball.
-
Chris Waddle talks an annoying amount of sense...
-
We aren't showing much confidence in possession at the moment. Too hurried, not enough composure.
-
Shit.
-
Oh bollocks.
-
Oi up chaps, hows it going?
-
Just as well all our relegation rivals lost today I fancy...
-
Oh fuck
-
Our defence is absolutely fucking shit, it really is. I thought McLeish specialised in defending???
-
oh well
-
What the hell sort of defending was that?! How long are these two/three going to be allowed to continue?
-
Fucking hell, great marking. Who thinks we'll score at least twice now?
-
Another shocker from the central defence. I absolutely cannot wait to see the back of that pair.
-
Jesus that was easy for them.
What we playing 4.5.1 or 4.4.1.1?????
-
Cant see any of the game .... not a set piece again was it
-
Our defence is absolutely fucking shit, it really is. I thought McLeish specialised in defending???
He does. Just think how fucking terrible we'd be if he tried to get us to attack.
-
Never mind the defending what is the fukin point of playing such an attacking line up and once again sitting back. Have they ever not scored against us at Villa playing this method....tosser.
-
We've picked a more positive line up but we're still being quite negative on the pitch. The defence really is not very good at all, sadly and that's what tends to cost us.
-
Hutton, Dunne and Collins, well done!
And Clarke on the bench. . .
-
Hutton AWOL to let the cross get in.
-
Jesus that was easy for them.
What we playing 4.5.1 or 4.4.1.1?????
Anybody's guess.
-
Why can't Carlos get a game?
-
Sitting back and defending and hitting teams on the break is a decent tactic if you can:
a) defend
b) pass the ball quickly and accurately forwards towards the opponents goal.
Unfortunately we can do neither.
-
Wahey, there's Randy. At least he turns up when we play United. He must have wanted to catch up with Ferguson.
-
I can handle a defeat, but I cannot handle defeat like this.
-
Wise words from Waddle on ESPN. Villa look uncomfortable with the ball and only worry about the opposition. That is the Big Eck way.
-
Dunne...What a useless shit.
-
Hutton AWOL to let the cross get in.
You're right, he was, and then chasing back as though he were running through treacle. I know there is a case for letting defenders play themselves into some sort of form, but they have surely, surely got to be changed, haven't they? They're just rubbish, and it's not like we don;t have the option to replace one or two of them.
-
Fucking Hutton again. The guy is as much use as tits on a fish.
-
Paul Faulkner looked as uncomfortable as I would sitting next to my boss.
-
Depressed.com.
Also, sickened I forgot to play 'guess the crowd' this week. Double bollocks.
Poor Darren Bent. Would be nice if he didn't have to do ALL our attacking.
-
Cliche of the season so far....'Darren Bent is so isolated'.
-
Can anybody remember a more negatively minded villa side?
-
Well this is rather pathetic isn't it?
Where the hell is the passion and drive in our players? Why the hell is everything so slow?
To be honest its looked like a game between a premiership team and a championship team so far.
-
We're missing Petrov in the midfield.
-
Hutton AWOL to let the cross get in.

Hutton was very slow for the goal. Very slow.
Come on push forward and start passing the round thing.
-

Rubbish in, rubbish out.
-

I think a championship side would show more bottle.
-
Playing attacking players does not make it an attacking team. The problem is, and will always be, McCleish's approach to the game and the 'tactics' he deploys.
-
Gabby's having Smalling on toast.
-
any threads that dont include 'youve won a f#cking ipod' messages stuck in the middle of the screen please?
-
Oh oh, Bent down injured.
Our problem is the manager wants us to concede less than the opposing team.
-
Waddle is dead right. He can see Bent is useless on his own. We can all see it. So why can't McLeish? FFS stick Gabby up front and tell him to turn Vidic at every possible opportunity. Every time Vidic finds himself faced with a pacey attacker he gets himself sent off*.
*well, NEARLY every time.
-
Fucking average, I'm bored, again. I feel sorry for mcleish, he's inherited a shit team that couldn't care less. Are defence is wank, there picking holes
Its far too easy, I expected to lose today but I hoped for once we'd be interested. It really is painful being a villa fan isn't it?
-
Carlos and Clark on NOW.
-
Bent's probably thinking, if they're not gonna play the ball to me i'll go off injured
-
Bent down. Just what we need.
I was looking at the table and see that although we're 8th, we're as close, in terms of points, to 20th as we are to 7th.

-

Our problem is the
manager wants us to concede less than the opposing team.
Well, in general it is a good idea. The trick is pulling it off, which we're not veryvgood at.
-
We back off. We don't press. That means that we often rely on the other team making mistakes to get the ball, which means possession is a rare quantity so should be precious when we get it. So what do we do? Give the ball away usually within 30 seconds of getting it. We simply cannot get into games that way, will never build pressure.
-
How much they must love playing us
-
Manchester United's football has not been awesome, Mr Waddle.
It has been INCREDIBLY EASY for them.
-
Oh great, Given injured.
-
Given injured :(
-
Now given looks like he's going off injured
-
Given injured? Oh Jesus fucking wept.
-
oh great. our one decent player is injured now.
-
What an utter mess we're in........
-
December is going to be a joy.
-
If Hutton wasnt so slow Given wouldnt had have to come for that.
-
Guzan, Jenas, Albrighton, Bannan, Herd. Maybe 10 League games between them this season. Against the champions.
-
He can't run 20 yards without injuring himself and he's scared to take goal kicks most games. And we've signed him until he's how old, 38? Christ.
-
Well, that's just plain bad luck for Given. Hope little Brad has been working on his.........well, everything, really.
-
What an utter mess we're in........
I want to shake Lerner and splash cold water in his face.
-
Whisper it quietly, that was FOUR passes put together.
-
Guzan, Jenas, Albrighton, Bannan, Herd. Maybe 10 League games between them this season. Against the champions.
To be honest mate I'd say this is the poorest Villa squad we've had since DOL. We've got very little anywhere? If we stay up McLeish will have done a decent job.
-
I want to fooking cry...
-
Glad to se Young is still a petulant cheating little bastard.
-
Bent on his own is crime. AM is a dunce.
-
There is nothing from Villa at all. 42 minutes, not even a fucking shot.
Like someone said at the outset, can pick the good forward players, but if the mentality is so fucking negative what is the point?
-
No direction or leadership,we may need Petrov,that's how bad it is.
-
We seem so very poor. No class, no vitality.
Worst of all for me is playing Bent up front alone. It doesn't work and we all know it.
He'll be off at the end of the season - I just hope we haven't been relegated by then.
-
This is absolute shite.
-
There is nothing from Villa at all. 42 minutes, not even a fucking shot.
We've had an attempt on target, it was a header from about 12 yards that looked more like a backpass than a shot.
-
I given up getting frustrated, just have to laugh now. I'd say were a pathetic bunch, the sooner we get rid of shite like collins, dunne and warnock the better. We need some bite in midfield too.
-
Bannan should be left, not Jenas/ Gabby, and Gabby right up on the shoulder of Vidic, who hates playing Gabby. Just nothing. Lovely as Eck may be, he appears more clueless week in week out. All filled with so much apathy.
-
8 more minutes of this shit, eugh.
-
This squad isn't as bad as DO'L's squads, but AM is making it look that way.
-
piss poor
-
anybody heard the holte end this half?
-
1 strike and we level, world still spinning.
-
So this will be how long without a goal. Fuck me. We all knew how dire Blues were to watch but at least they battled. Our lot just look totally and utterly bored, and it is obvious the tactics are way off.
Houllier seemed like Mourinho
-
I wonder what year it will be when I see a Villa team able to pass and move...the simple basics of football.
-
Performance summed by herd, looking up, a bit of time on the ball, and not one villa player in their half. Hoofed up to their defenders and under pressure once again.
-
This squad isn't as bad as DO'L's squads, but AM is making it look that way.
I'm actually not so sure. Without all of the players we;ve sold over the past 2 or 3 years it's fairly terrible. Bent, Gabby, and a couple of others are good, but then even under O'Leary we had the likes of Laursen, Mellberg and Barry.
-
We look like a team that's just honoured to be on the same pitch as them, just get stuck in ffs
Jones you diving cheating little tosspot fuck off
-
Warnock gives away free kick 3 yards outside of box shocker.
-
I am getting quite angry at how shite we are.
-
Utter absolute garbage, what the hell has happened to our club in the last 18 months - this is dire crap uninspiring football that will continue to drive people away in droves -hang your heads in shame , lerner , faulkner and mcleish!
-
Jones cheated. Warnock not guilty.
-
Considering the money and international standing of so many of our players, we may well actually be the worst team in the league.
-
Surely this cannot go on much past Christmas..... even GMac and Houllier from afar we beat Arse at Arse and Pool at home.
-
Bloody hell that was poor.
-
I am getting quite angry at how shite we are.
I just laugh at the moment
-
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
Stan on the radio seems pretty much spot on. To surmise what he's just said:
We look so flat, we don't seem to have any game plan or intention to move forward. We're either a good passing team nor a long ball side. We're so boring and negative.
-
Well that was fucking desperate. At least give it a fucking go!
-
Well that has failed to live up to my very very low expectations.
-
Even the crowd are not vitriolic though. You would think he would be getting dogs abuse, but there is nothing.
-
I am getting quite angry at how shite we are.
I'm getting quite use to it.
-
Absolutely dreadful first half. Of course they are much better than us, but we are just so poor all over the pitch.
-
Jesus wept - I feel desperately sorry for those there right now. No attempt whatsoever to try and win the game. Dull negative football and constant hoofing of the ball 50 yards up field. We should hang our heads in shame.
-
Well, that wasn't so bad, now we just have 45 minutes longer to defend our 1-0 loss.
-
I would have booed. I am disgusted by the way teh club has handled itself over the past 18 months
-
I wish someone would turn off that feckin mic by the impostor in the dugout! Body language wtf is he talking about.
-
I think AM is possibly the worst manager I've seen in 32 years, including BM. I dont think DOL was this bad. We cannot defend, we cannot pass, we cannot keep the ball, no passion, no drive, no idea, clueless formation that leaves Bent out on a limb, no playing to Bannan & Gabby's strengths, Collins and Hutton still on the pitch.
Agent Alex offers us NOTHING. Come on Lerner sort this shit out.
-
Dreadful first half.
-
I think McLeish has bitten off far more than he can chew. The players just don't want to play for him, end of story.
-
I just don't get it. The team he picked was one we all wanted to see for a few weeks. It on paper looked so much more adventurous and unpredictable. Yet the outcome has been exactly the same. What the fuck do we practice during the week. Do any of the training sessions actually involve the ball moving forward? This is murder.
-
The players have to take responsibility for that shit. It's a ball, nothing to be fucking scared of and those other players, you can tackle them, football is still a contact sport.
FFS Villa, grow a pair!
Side note: How the hell didn't Ashley get booked for chopping down Albrighton?
-
Come on Villa, where's the fight?
-
I think McLeish has bitten off far more than he can chew. The players just don't want to play for him, end of story.
Quite clearly.
A line up that says attack put into a 4-5-1 sitting deep is tactical suicide.
-
The worst thing about this is, this Man U side are very average, I can't believe that at home McLiesh can't put together some kind of style that gets us back into the game.
We look simply terrible, they don't look that good, we can still get something here, its down to the manager to sort this.
get friggin Gabby up front for ffs instead of playing footsie with smalling.........................Do something.
-
When did we last score?
-
This is an utter embarrassment to our club. It is an absolute joke and I think he's got to go.
-
Lerner is at villa park so lets hope he has the balls to see what a shambles is happening here and hold up his hands and say he got it wrong - we are heading down if things dont change and fast!
-
I think McLeish has bitten off far more than he can chew. The players just don't want to play for him, end of story.
How about them playing for their 30 fuckin grand a week then?
-

I think training involves who can hoof the ball the highest and furthest.
-
We've gave him a chance i didn't work it's never going to work it's time for him to go. Soon as he took charge i said so that means we'll have another new manger come 2012 season. I still stand by those words.
-
Ray Stubbs is saying the fans will not put up with this level of performance and he is spot on.
-
I think McLeish has bitten off far more than he can chew. The players just don't want to play for him, end of story.
How about them playing for their 30 fuckin grand a week then?
You can visibly see the players snipping at each other and Dunne clearly showed disagreement with AM when the game stopped for the injury.
-

How about them playing for their 30 fuckin grand a week then?
I don't think that's the case at all. A few of the players have come out and praised him, saying to trust him and support the club. His tactics just won't cut it at this level. He can't design an efficient offensive attack that allows for a balance in the midfield so our defending is proper.
We're very poor, and I'm glad Randy is there to witness it himself.
-
If we have another 45 like this, then AM must consider his position, doesn't matter that its Utd, we've been friggin playing like this for most of the season.
Randy, shake yourself up man.
-
This is an utter embarrassment to our club. It is an absolute joke and I think he's got to go.
Steve Bruce, any one?
-
Hard to argue with anything Kevin Keegan said, we can take losing, but we can't take not having a go
Matt Kendrick took a dig at the boo's today.
-
This is an utter embarrassment to our club. It is an absolute joke and I think he's got to go.
Steve Bruce, any one?
another blues defect, no thanks.
-
Lerner is at villa park so lets hope he has the balls to see what a shambles is happening here and hold up his hands and say he got it wrong - we are heading down if things dont change and fast!
He'll be too busy looking at Ferguson with a shy smile and a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach.
-
I'm sure Ferguson will send Lerner another nice letter to put in his safe. Thanking him for the kindly gifted three points.
-
This is an utter embarrassment to our club. It is an absolute joke and I think he's got to go.
Steve Bruce, any one?
There's already enough red faces going around without recruiting another.
-
i was behind him and prepared to give him a chance but this is dreadful and embarrassing , with given injured we will drop even more points and slip into the abyss , mcleish had a great chance to make a real name for himself and has shown total lack of balls and ambition by playing this shocking brand of football week in week out- time to accept it was a mistake and rectify it randy!
-
Hard to argue with anything Kevin Keegan said, we can take losing, but we can't take not having a go
Matt Kendrick took a dig at the boo's today.
I'm not usually an advocate of booing during the game or at half time, as its counter productive.
However, after a half like that, booing is the only reasonable response.
-

mark hughes!
-

Unfunny.
-
Let's hope Randy is checking that letter from Fergie.
-
I'm in Manchester watching this Shite! The Manure fans can't believe how crap we are. One up front at home. Genius! Cheers Alex! Come on Randy just put this fuckin blue nose out of his bleedin misery! He's making us a laughing stock!
-
I just don't get it. The team he picked was one we all wanted to see for a few weeks. It on paper looked so much more adventurous and unpredictable. Yet the outcome has been exactly the same. What the fuck do we practice during the week. Do any of the training sessions actually involve the ball moving forward? This is murder.
I think training involves who can hoof the ball the highest and furthest.
Avv ittt!!!!
-
AM believes in narrow football. Albrighton is not allowed to venture near the wings. that's why we pass the ball backwards so much. The full backs defend so narrow.
-
here we go, it's only 1-0.. let's nick an early one.
-
When did we last score?
If we fail to score today it will be our most barren run in 20 years. Says it fucking all
-
Even Ehiogu has tweeted taking the piss......
-
This is an utter embarrassment to our club. It is an absolute joke and I think he's got to go.
Steve Bruce, any one?
mark hughes!
Bloody Mervin Hughes would be an improvement on that half.
-
That was shit.
Ah fuck it, Tamworth won, even Villa can't annoy me tonight.
-
All commentators saying we are crap and AM is to blame. Even Ehiogu on Twitter, apparently. Will Randy notice or does he prefer staring at the P&L sheet with reduced wages?
-
I don't want a manager who gets on with the squad. What I really want is a manager who is openly despised by Dunne, Collins and Warnock, because that means he must be doing something right...
-
If I was neutral we are the sort of team I would be happy to see relegated - totally pointless and as dull as shite. Absolutely appalling. Sky are gonna stop showing us soon.
-
This game has as an inevitable result in football as you are ever likely to get.
-
I don't want a manager who gets on with the squad. What I really want is a manager who is openly despised by Dunne, Collins and Warnock, because that means he must be doing something right...
I don't give a toss either but they don't want to play for him because they don't respect him......He looks lost.
-
Doug wouldn't stand for this level of shit!
-
How depressing to see Gab virtually at left back,instead of being on Vidic's shoulder.
-
When did we last score?
If we fail to score today it will be our most barren run in 20 years. Says it fucking all
Last goal was Bent (62) against Norwich, since then we've played Spuds & Swansea.
-

Spot on. Even I can barely stand to watch us this season, and I'm a Villa fan. Neutrals must think we're a right bunch of dull old spuds.
-
This villa team looks like the Blues team that we beat 5-1 all those years back. Completely heartless and there for the taking.
-
Doug wouldn't stand for this level of shit!
Doug wouldn't have hired McLeish.
-

sad but so very true!
-
This has continued to be horrendous.
-
Doug wouldn't stand for this level of shit!
Doug wouldn't have hired McLeish.
True
-
If it stays this way McL will claim a near victory..
come on Villa I'll settle afor a real draw
-
And to think i turned my nose up when we were linked to Hughes,id be on my effing hands and knees now begging for him to take over.
-
Looks to me like hes lost the dressing room in much the same way that houllier did- lets hope whoever comes next unloads dunne and collins .
-
Can anyone confirm the likes of Jenas, Albrighton and Herd are actually playing as I am listening to it on the radio and have not heard one mention of them hardly? This is dire, thank god all our relegation rivals bar Blackburn lost today as I said earlier. Make no mistake, we are going to be right in it by the 1st of January and we deserve to be - boring and crap
-
Ferguson couldn't have had an easier league game in his 25 years.
-
Jenas is fucked, that's all our subs used.
-
Oh, Jenas has had enough. Have a few weeks on the sidelines son.
-
Link gone..any others that work?
-
ManU have not even started the engine never mind get out of second gear.
-
I was just thinking the same. Jenas has been doing an invisible man impression all game. And now he's injured.
-
Harry really did us one with Jenas didn't he? Remember when we thought MON was a better manager than him? Remember when Man Utd used to come to town in the 70s, 80s and 90s, always the better team on paper and we used to have a real go? Jesus, I am starting to seriously think getting relegated might actually provide some excitement...
-
Dont worry mr creativity emile heskey will save us.
-
Well, that's two of our known to be injury prone new signings off injured...and it's......HESKEY TIME!!!
-
Heskey good grief.
-
Ya see McLeish, have a go & it's better
-
Its been an observation for a few months but I believe we have the poorest midfield and the worst full backs in the league...coupled with the worst manager!
-
We are giving it a go. Keep it on the deck, we have the players who can cope. And if Guzan gets it, I want to see players sprinting rather than ambling, away from him, to give him some options. Come on Villa!
-
Diabolical.
-
As dire as we have been, we could have equalised, strange game.
-
Its been an observation for a few months but I believe we have the poorest midfield and the worst full backs in the league...coupled with the worst manager!
Full backs give us poor defending and nothing going forward.
-
HEskey. Really is there a point. To any of it anymore.
-
Get your transfer request in Bent.
-
man utd look nothing special today at all but we look utterly crap -how sad we havent got the balls to have a go at them like the kids did that houllier sent out against them last season.
-
HEskey. Really is there a point. To any of it anymore.
We've actually looked a bit better (well, less shite) since Heskey's come on.
-
Has Heskey retained possession in the last 5 matches ever?!
-
Good tweet:
They reckon the Holte End at Villa Park is Villa's 12th man. It's certainly more mobile than Emile Heskey.
-
we are utter garbage.
-
First time I've ever seen Petrov with a dry shirt.
-
Instead of man of the match, can we go for a worst player, seems more fitting
My vote goes to warnock
-
Pretty stress free match, if you are a Villa fan.
-
If Mcleish says after the game that we gave it a go in the second half, looked really dangerous and unlucky to not get a point...SACK HIM!

Bannan, Mr Complete and utter tart.
Hutton, Mr AWOL.
Herd, Mr Scaredy Pants
Heskey, Mr Tumbling Bear
I could go on..
-
Am I the only one who thinks this scoreline looks too respectable at the moment and that we need to ship a few more so that McLeish has no excuses?
-
My vote is 50/50 between Jenas or Dunne.
-
Looks to me like hes lost the dressing room in much the same way that houllier did- lets hope whoever comes next unloads dunne and collins .
Dunne and Collins aren't the problem.
Agree with the dressing room being lost. It was clear in the Swansea game that the players hadn't a clue about what McLeish wanted them to do. Hs is an utter buffoon. Worse than Houllier and DOL.
-
Now mon has signed a 3 year deal on wearside and been confirmed as manager lets pray he comes and signs heskey, dunne , collins and petrov in january.

It's like picking one particularly bad grain of rice out of a bowlful. They're one large cohesive blob of shit.
-
Respectable scoreline maybe but the stats won't lie...
-
Every team we play from now on may as well leave their keeper at home...they don't need one!
-
Late lucky equaliser anyone?
Thought not.
-
Is it just me or do we look as if we are happy with one nil? almost a case of " well its Man Uts so 1-0 is quite good"
-
I only just noticed that my stream had been paused over half time so I was nearly 25 minutes behind. I trust I haven't missed anything?
-
8 premier league games without a goal!! Jesus!!
-
That Heskey shot was world class.
-
HA HA HA HA HA HA
-
8 premier league games without a goal!! Jesus!!
Norwich isn't that long ago.
-
Ldies and gentlemen...I give you...Emile Heskey!!!
I hope MON buys him
-
I'm not even angry anymore, I actually pity us.
-
pathetic shite
-
Fucking hell. That has just packaged everything in a nice Christmas. Heskey you complete and utter waste of air.
-

I think the commentators meant in total. Still appalling
-
Heskey. Words fail me.
-
If ever Heskey's career was summed up in one kick.
-
Glad to see that we are now playing past the halfway line. Good attempts. And we are pressing them. I don't give a FF that nothing has actually come off but MU are having to defend. Wonderful. Go 4 it, Villa lads!
-
I feel sorry for Darren Bent. Brilliant finisher, kept us up last season, but so bereft of any service this that he might as well not bother playing.
-
8 premier league games without a goal!! Jesus!!
Norwich isn't that long ago.
Oh right, get you.
I think the commentators meant in total. Still appalling
-
Lack any cohesion and ambition when we go forward, our players aren't the greatest but surely they aren't this appalling. Thoroughly crap.
-
What a pile of steaming turd. If United had bothered it would have been 10.

they were talking about wayne rooney not villa!
-
We're so awful it's embarrassing. It's not just the cluelessness, lack of goals, and total derth in anything remotely close to attractive football, it's the fact that almost every match we've played this season, we've gone about ruining the game. Grinding every ounce of possible enjoyment for our fans, the opposition fans and offering absolutely fuck all for any passing neutrals.
Get rid of this clown managing the club! Furthermore, Randy can bugger off and all. It's just horrible.
-
I never thought it could get this bad. I really didn't. Given injured, Jenas injured, barely a shot on goal. Heskey. My goodness. Words fail me.
-
Clueless, utterly clueless.
That was a very ordinary Man Utd team, if they played like that the other night v Palace no wonder Palace did them.
AM, I'm lost for words as to what you tried to do in the 2nd half, you pulled Gabby inside and up front and we started to threaten, as everybody and his uncle knows Vidic can't live with Gabby, next minute Gabby is wide left again.
Bent do yourself one big favour mate, get yourself transferred out, under this manager you goals tally will go through the floor, soon you'll start to suffer withdrawal and wonder what you have done to justify solitary confinement.
RL, if you can't act on this we are lost in time as a club.
-
I haven't been interested all season - No money, Blues manager coming in, selling off our prize assets, etc, etc.....but I thought I'd give em a chance today to see how they're getting on.
That is the worst Villa side I've seen in decades. We are in serious trouble.
Teams tend to either have creativity or fight - We have neither. I think we're fooked.

My thoughts exactly. This clown in charge of our club is going to be the cause of you missing the Euro's next summer.
I thought I'd give McLeish a go and give him a little time..... But he has surpassed even my low expectations as to how shit he is.
JG was in the crowd today - He's do a soddin better job!

Not only that, when was the last time you saw a Villa team without the will to get forward, so many passes back to keeper when we are in there half of the field, negative negative negative football.

Me too. A deafeat to Man u is virtually what you sign up to as a Villa fan now, but I would appreciate a bit of fight, giving it a go, rousing the crowd a bit. When that header came to Heskey at the end - I knew it would end badly.
-
a continuation of the utter garbage served up by one of the worst managers i can remember...
-
I am Holte End lower ST and at half time 8 ST holders got up and left and never came back, I wished I had joined them. Heskey spending 5 minutes looking away from play tieing his laces then having a shot that went out for a throw in. That was absolute shite. Man u never got out of 2nd gear we had 1 shot on target. I do not look forward to my football at the moment.
