Available Sunday afternoon.
-
Ireland, Cuellar and Warnock come into the team from last week. Albrighton, Gardner and Collins drop out.
Not sure if trying to accommodate Keane, Bent and Gabby in the same team is a smart move but lets hope it's a gamble that pays off. Come on the lads!
-
Given, Hutton, Cuellar, Dunne, Warnock, Ireland, Clark, Petrov, Agbonlahor, Keane, Bent. Subs: Guzan, Heskey, Bannan, Weimann, Lichaj, Baker, Gardner.
-
Them:
Fabianski, Coquelin, Mertesaker, Koscielny, Rosicky, Vermaelen, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Waclott, Ramsey, Song, Van Persie. Subs: Sagna, Arteta, Park, Henry, Szczesny, Arshavin, Benayoun.
-
Come on you Villa boys, please please please win. Is Albrighton injured?
-
Colins injured or avoiding being cup-tied for an impending transfer?
-
He played in the last round
-
Thank god Heskey is only on the bench!
-
Marc has a slight thigh strain
-
No N'Zogbia again. Still injured?
-
That's a pretty attacking team. No natural width mind.
-
No N'Zogbia again. Still injured?
Heel innit. He's seeing a specialist
-
He played in the last round
Ah yes, fair point. My hopes are dashed.
-
come on you Villa boys!
-
I think Collins is on his way. I hope Samba is on his way to us
-
You chaps in the UK gonna keep us posted on the pre match draw? Tx
-
I think Collins is on his way. I hope Samba is on his way to us
Or he might just have picked up a knock. When Ireland missed Wolves with a tight hamstring we didn't know about it until after the game.

Stop being sensible TV! A bit of idle speculation brightens up the day.
-
Tx Legion. Just got info that draw is live down here. As is match. :)
-
Liverpool and Spurs got easy draws.
-
FFS, typical.... away to MON's Sunderland. FFS

Liverpool v Brighton
Everton v Blackpool/Sheffield W
Chelsea v Birmingham
Crawley T v Stoke C
Stevenage v Tottenham

Time to try and find a pub that shows ESPN. Come on you Villa boys.
UTV
-
I'm not really concerned by who we might play in the next round at the moment.
-
Live feed (http://www.firstrow.tv/watch/104807/1/watch-arsenal-vs-aston-villa.html)

Any links please?

Right win Villa, please just win.

Is this on sky? I'm currently desperately trying to get home to watch it after some train re routes, and am now worried its not even on tv.
-
Villa are here ... arsenal still biting their prawn sarnies

It's on ESPN, which I think is free on Sky this weekend anyway.
-
Really wish we utilized Cuellar more. Pre-game interview McLeish just said "Last time Cuellar came into the side he was absolutely terrific." He could be a great value to this team and I hope he proves his worth tonight.
And what's going on with N'Zogbia.. his heel? The guy has to feature soon, no?
-
Ah bollocks, hopefully will get home and find a good internet feed.
And more importantly we will smash them. We have a good record at the arse, so hope we keep it up.

Cheers Hipkiss hope it is free.
Come on Villa, fancy Gabby to have a good game today.
-
Villa fans in great voice! Why does the commentator say 'Cueller is definitely not as good as Collins'?
-

I use this. £6 for 60 days. All the football you will ever want.

oops

-
Villa fans in great voice! Why does the commentator say 'Cueller is definitely not as good as Collins'?
Same reason they showed him as playing on the left - they don't know what they're talking about
-
We need to stuff it up em, they don't like it up em.
-
Not free on skyI have got full package except ESPN so how are you guys getting it? are there any links?
-
Defence already looks dodgy.
-

Am I alone in thinking that Cuellar is one of the best players we have?
-
Nervous start...
-
Holy Fuck...
-
Great stop Shay.
-
Great save
-
Poor start. Can only get better. Fans on fire mind.
-
All you can hear is the Villa singing
-
We are struggling here, but good from Ireland.
-
That's the stuff Hutton!
-
We need to get a grip in defence or we will get cut to pieces.
-
COME ON YOU VILLA BOYS!!
-
not great so far. struggling to pass it and warnock keeps putting us in trouble
-
Warnock with an important interception.
-
Cueller, terrible attempt to chest the ball.
-
warnonk gets beat in the air by walcott
-
any body got another link I can not get the livefootball one working?
-
Warnock beaten in the air by Walcott. Shouldn't be happening.
-
any body got another link I can not get the livefootball one working?
http://www.firstrow.tv/watch/104807/2/watch-arsenal-vs-aston-villa.html is working for me.
-
The arse have got far too much room in midfield. Don't like our set-up so far.
-
Gabby could have done more there
-
If we can weather the storm we will come into the game later and win :)
-
Ireland is pretty much redundant in the role he's playing.
-
Need to value possession more.
-
Need to value possession more.
That should be our new club motto.
-
cuellar betrays all the signals of never havng played or watched spanish football. his selection of options and passes is terrible sometimes
oh FFS warnock
-
FFS Warnock
-
warnock ffs
-
What a fucking dive. Can't believe the ref brought that. what a fucking cheat. both of them
-
Why isn't N'Zogbia on the bench?
-
free kick? really?
-
Not a foul IMO. Ref has given that because of the one he let slide just before.
-
Need to value possession more.
That should be our new club motto.
It's been like this a while too... Phew, wall did its job.
-
Massive dive that, shocking decision. We have been very poor.
-
That's Bollocks. Ramsey conned the ref there.
-
That's Bollocks. Ramsey conned the ref there.
That's almost exactly what I shouted at the tely.
-
Fucking Warnock don't be so sloppy, terrible pass.
-
Warnock needs the curly stick again
-
We need to improve. Fast.
-
Bent pulled out of that.
-
Nice pass, Warnock. Straight to RVP, you prick.
-
That was shit by bent. should have scored
-
Why isn't N'Zogbia on the bench?
Ongoing heel injury
-
I thikn warnock must have a pass completion record of about 20% so far. terrible
-
The way Bent pulled out of that...it was like the second coming of Downing.
-
Why isn't N'Zogbia on the bench?
Injured

-
The commentary is annoying me
-
Withe would have headed the ball and the keeper into the goal.
-
A quarter of the match gone. It'd be nice to have a shot at some point.
-
I never know why we give the ball away with such obliging ease.
-
gabby does the hard work and then the cross..... ;(
-
Use your loaf gabby
-
Oxtail soup should have been booked for diving there IMO
-
A quarter of the march gone. It'd be nice to have a shot at some point.
Have I missed something? - I thought we were still in January :)
-
Warnock a liability.
-
Gabby is working so hard here.
-
I never know why we give the ball away with such obliging ease.
We don't have enough footballers in the team...
-
We need to start moving off the ball there is no movement.
-
Warnock a liability.
Confidence completely gone. Hopefully it comes back at some point.
-
Keane is so clever...we are still a threat on the break.
-
getting into it a bit now come on Villa
-
Couple of great touches by Keane there
-
Withe would have headed the ball and the keeper into the goal.
And Peter McParland would be spinning in his grave. If he were dead. But he isn't. I think...
-
I never know why we give the ball away with such obliging ease.
We don't have enough footballers in the team...
I always love that expression. If you're not a 'footballer', why are you a footballer? So to speak.
Keane is good though. He's the only one who actually moves off the ball.
-
Keane just looks a step above everyone else in this team. Kind of a sad state of affairs.
-
Warnock a liability.
Confidence completely gone. Hopefully it comes back at some point.
How much longer do we wait before replacing him? It's been at least 18 months now since he had a spell of good games?
-

Is it because ten of them are shit footballers or because Keane has spent less time being coached by our coaches? Or both?
-
The arse are starting to lose a bit of belief too. Cue crowd murmurs soon.
-
Keane is still class...we always told you...
-
Corner.. Come on
-
Hutton is one ugly fella, he looks like a throwback to times gone by
-
BEAUTY!
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
what a fooookkkiinnn goal
-
GET FUCKING IN
-
Fucking brilliant
-
fuck yeah
-
Yeassssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
That's a great goal.
-
YYYYYEEEEESSSSSS. Get in Dunne
-
Nice one Dunne well worked lads.
-
Get in Dunney !
-
Keane running it for us. Get in
-
Did they actually plan that? Fuck me.
-
Nice!
-
Oh yessss
Gooners heading for the pies already
-
Typical Irish goal!
-
Brilliant. Thought it was coming.
-
Get in! Where the hell has that set piece come from, it definitely don't look like something we'd do!!
-
SHORT CORNER IN WORKING SHOCK!
It's all about Keane for us at the moment going forward.
Nice to be on the right end of a set piece for once...
-
Typical Irish goal!
We see it at Landsdown every home game...
-
Great ball from Keane, he's looking very good.
-
Lovely clever play by Keane. You beauty! Come on now boys!
-
Can't wait to see Wenger jumping up and down pulling frogs out of his arse..
-
Great goal. Our first corner after they've had 7 or 8. Corners owe us.
-
Villa fans loving this...
-
Fucking stop sitting back Villa, we need to keep pressing.
-
Fuck it McLeish, go get Keane for the season.
-
Cuellar so close to putting Bent in there...
-
We really need to get into them now.
-
Yes, Villa, this is more like it !
-
Keane is looking good.
-
Fuck it McLeish, go get Keane for the season.
indeed
-
Kean plus a couple of defenders would be just what we need
-
Gabby has got the run on their right back. Need to get them 1 on 1 more.
-
Lovely clever play by Keane. You beauty! Come on now boys!
Yes, fantastic play. And by Petrov too.
-
nice work by Warnock there.
-
Sloppy from Bent
-
I need a beer, any recommendations?
-
Did the commentator just say Warnock and fantastic together ?
-
Our passing has got very sloppy, we can't do this.
-
We cannot play like this or we will concede, the midfield have to do something.
-
There is still a tendency to hoof it out of defence
-
FFS Hutton
-
Hutton you twat
-
Hutton what the fuck are you doing.
-
I need a beer, any recommendations?
Yep, have about 12 of them, because this is going to be nerve wracking.
-
Afternoon all. Just got back in the house after listening to Alan Green saying it's a dull game on R5, put the television on and we're one nil up.
-
We have to be much more composed here, Petrov and Clark have to get in the game.
-
Great scoreline so far, but we really do have some dick-witted defenders.
-
Don't like the way we're defending so deep. It will bite us on the arse for sure.
-

AG is a first class cock.
-

Hutton wasn't listening to you!
-
Refs been a bit biased on Arsenal's favour. A few calls have gone against us, here that maybe shouldn't have.
Lucky there. Lets hope not to concede by half time.
-
Yellow for Dunne. Pires at the game (in the crowd, thankfully).
-

Got some Kingfisher in the fridge...
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
WOOOHOOO!
-
Benty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great ball Ireland
-
YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSS. Bent
-
Fuck a duck.... Bent....
-
hahahahaha
-
2-0!
-
Yeeees ! Brilliant finish from Bent, fantastic ball from Ireland !
-
Fucking hell!!
-
Commentator sees Pires in the crowd yet fails to realise he played for both clubs.
-
IIIINNNNNNCCCCCCRRRRRREEEEEEEDDDDDDDIIIIIBBBBLLLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! Bent!!!!
-
Yess!!!
-
I knew it was going to be our day.
-
He can sometimes barely kick a ball, but when it's meant to go towards the goal he's a different player.
-
Fuckin yeeeeessss!!!
-
What a lovely finish from a tight angle.
-
The second finish from Bent is top class.
-
Great stuff only benty would have got that follow up shot in
-
It's our year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Unbelievable.
-
HT 0-2 what odds would we have got on that bet?
-
Two attacks, two goals! Get in!
-
Who needs possession?!
-
That is a great finish
-
What a first half
-
Clark or Gabby for teh 3rd and 4th.
-
Fucking hell.
About half of the ten guys I work with are gooners. This (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fi1uL3dY9XA/TrGE084dYBI/AAAAAAAAJR0/ykV0LFMtsNA/s1600/smug.jpg) will be me tomorrow.
-
Should we all start wearing leprachaun outfits to matches? Given, Dunne, Keane and that pass to Bent from (ahem) Ireland.
-
Beautiful. Just brilliant. But, it's only half time.
-
Gabby is working really hard and playing very well.
A Villa man to the core.
Come on you Lions!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I was just hoping to get to half time without conceding again when we got that!
Great break and a fantastic finish from Bent
-
Darren Bent, fantastic striker. Aint many in Europe would have got that
-
Who says Keane and Ireland can not play together?! Pure class
-
Commentator sees Pires in the crowd yet fails to realise he played for both clubs.
I think some of us would prefer not to realise that he played for both clubs.
Now I just hope we get a third early on in the second and I can relax.
Arsenal fans make us look patient!
-
That's great but we do need to get more of a grip in the second half in midfield, there's no way we'll stand up to that much pressure.
-
We'll score when we want, We'll score when we waaaaaant, we're Aston Villa, we'll score when we want!
-
over the moon .. fook , Im cryingg with excitement here ..... Come on villa . we can do this...
-
brilliant finish from Bent, staying aware when the first shot was spilt. Weathering the storm a bit from them, but 2 nil at half time, didn't expect that. Need to stay awake during the 2nd half. UTV
-
This commentator on ESPN is getting on my tits. You'd think we were a Conference team the way he's going on.
-
What a scoreline!
-
We are quality and I genuinely think we should extend the Keane deal even if it costs us many £££s
-
Commentator sees Pires in the crowd yet fails to realise he played for both clubs.
Martin Tyler recognised it on the feed I'm watching.
-
Alan Green was quite scathing about Darren Bent on R5, referring to him as a very expensive and ineffective luxury or words to that effect.
-

To be honest i missed Pires playing for us as well!
-
Gabby's working really hard down the flanks.
With Keane, Bent and Ireland we are always going to be in with a shout of getting a goal.
Petrov and Clark look solid in front of the back four, too. Making it difficult for them to get through.
-
Alan Green was quite scathing about Darren Bent on R5, referring to him as a very expensive and ineffective luxury or words to that effect.
Well Green is a twat!
-
Alan Green was quite scathing about Darren Bent on R5, referring to him as a very expensive and ineffective luxury or words to that effect.
Alan Green is a cock of the very highest order and never fails to live up to the fact
-
What a funny (but fun) half that was. Arsenal have been all tappy tappy. We've been a bit disorganised at the back, but also resolute. I've barely noticed Clark or Ireland. Keane has been in and out but very good when in. Gabby is doing really well and we do look dangerous on the break. If we had CNZ and Albrighton I'd be really tempted to play them both for the last half hour.
We definitely need to get more composed. Cuellar, Hutton in particular. Warnock improved after a very ropey start.
Would like to see us pass it quite a bit better still. We're not really moving in triangles to give each other options.
Ireland's ball for Bent was exactly what he thrives on
-
great half time score,going to be a nervous second half listening to R5. comon villa!!
-
Alan Green is an arsehole
-
This is dreamland...
Please Villa, don't let's have a second half nightmare.
-
this has been a great feed so far
http://www.firstrow.tv/watch/104807/1/watch-arsenal-vs-aston-villa.html
-
Just checked the score, 2-0?!
Fuck me.
-
Alan Green was quite scathing about Darren Bent on R5, referring to him as a very expensive and ineffective luxury or words to that effect.
Bell end of the highest order. Not interested if its not red
-
That was a really terrific pass from Gabby to Petrov in the build up to the second.
-
Petrovs contribution to both goals superb
-
Alan Green was quite scathing about Darren Bent on R5, referring to him as a very expensive and ineffective luxury or words to that effect.
Alan Green is why Room 101 was invented
-
I hope we keep our heads...my United supporting friend is calling over to watch the second half, here he is!!
-
Who gives a fuck what Alan Green thinks? If Bent scores goals for us I don't give a fuck how much of a luxury he is.
-
Petrovs contribution to both goals superb
Agreed.
Also, by the way, Bent's movement for that second goal was typically world-class, and I mean that.
-
Half time pundit saying it's all going wrong for Arsenal - how about it's all going right for Villa? Fucking London club bias
-
That is why we paid so much for Darren Bent, chance and goal.
-
Just saw Bent's finish again - that really was top drawer
-
We'll score when we want, We'll score when we waaaaaant, we're Aston Villa, we'll score when we want!
Love it!
-

I'm not sure what a bell end is but I am sure that Alan Green is one.
-
I'm a bit tempted to miss the 2nd half and check in later. I really hate it when we're up too early in these games. I got reet nervous!
-
thet cant give us any credit,
oh yes some dodgy refereeing we need to watch out
-
Just in from work.
Was it as smash and grab as it sounded on t'radio?
-
Bloody fantastic!
Ireland has had a quiet game but that was a fantastic pass to bent, who did what Bent does best.
From praying we would get in still 1 up to dancing around celebrating a second, you gotta love football.

I'm not sure what a bell end is but I am sure that Alan Green is one.
I think you'll find you have one!
-
If we play it right we could get even more goals! I dont think I could have been more wrong about the Keane signing
-
Just in from work.
Was it as smash and grab as it sounded on t'radio?
First from a corner, second a great counter attack!
-
That first half couldn't have gone better. I don't think we'll keep a clean sheet though, we rarely do even when we win. A shame that neither Albrighton or Zoggy are on the bench as we could kill the game off with their ability on the break.
Henry scored a hat-trick, including a last minute winner after we led 2-0 at Highbury nine or ten years ago so I'm not going to break out the champers just yet.

Really?
Well I'm not explaining, but yep he certainly is and a smelly one at that
-
Just in from work.
Was it as smash and grab as it sounded on t'radio?
A bit but we were genuinely skillful for both our goals and Arsenal haven't really hurt us for all their possession.
-
That was a really terrific pass from Gabby to Petrov in the build up to the second.
Think it looks better than it was Petrov was in a perfect position for me. All 3 passes in the build up were great you could see everything fall in perfeclty . Can't belive sky bet just got 1/2 odds for a villa win! Gutted I didn't put it on @ 9/2 before hand!
-
I text my sister to say bet we cant hold on until halftime...queue Villa counter attack
-
Ooh, just seem Bent's goal, what a finish that was.
-
Emirates looks half empty second half!
-
Good off the line clearance there.
-
two massive contributions from Ireland either side of half time.
-
Fucking hell off the line.
-
That's why you put a man on the post at corners.
-
I'm enjoying the game and we're doing well and all, but that Hutton is properly stealing a living.
-
this is too open,nervous reck already
-
We are really under the cosh here.
-
No Fabregas this time!
-
This isn't going to be a fun 40 minutes.
-
We have got to get a grip on the ball here.
-
We're riding our luck so far this half
-
fook me . Im not looking this
-
Getting battered. Come on lads! Get another on the break, please.
-
Just got in after travelling on 1 bus, 1 tube, 4 trains and in one car to get from streatham to sutton coldfield, fooking trains.
Doesn't matter though as we are 2 up against the arse and I have just settled down with a cup of te and an internet feed of the game :)
-
we can't spend the next 45 mins pumping it up to bent. it will be continuous arsenal pressure. and we're not organised enough at the back
-
I repeat we really badly need to get a grip in midfield they are just running through us.
-
Fucking hell.
Was that really a pen?
-
bollocks
-
Penalty and it's been coming, for fucks sake.
-
Challenge not needed there.
-
Shit
-
Lucky to still be on the pitch.
Balls.
-
We are in big trouble now, we cannot just sit back. Dunne should have got a second yellow as well really.
-
Shit.
-
You muppet
-
Why do you keep doing these things, Dunne?
-
Fucking hell.
Was that really a pen?
Err...yep!
-
Bugger. Need another break goal.
-
arse
-
shit
-
fuck,least Dunne never got a secomd yellow
-
Only consolation is Dunne didn't get a second yellow
-
bloody hell. that was all about hutton's utterly brainless play, yet again. we're goingto lose this
dunne v lucky not to get a 2nd yellow!!
-
Our defenders must have left the communal brain cell back in B6.
-
Don't think it will be long before they tie this up.
-
I said to my Son. Please Alex- don't play deep and hoof...... They own midfield. We have to go wider.
-
When did the Arsenal fans turn up?
-
Keep the faith lads, keep the faith.
-
2-2, what a fucking shocking second half Villa you fucking idiots.
-
ffs OG
-
Fucking hell
-
FUCK!
-
My friend has jinxed us, should I tell him to go home? :(
-
And they we go
-
Fuel lad should have cut that ball out before it reached Dunne. Fuck. We're in trouble now
-
Fucks sake Villa!
-
Oh for fuck's sake what an awful goal to give away
-
double arse
-
well sort of ..Hutton u twat
-
Spineless bunch of ******.
-
Are we the stupidest team in the league?
-
weve shit it now changed the play and tactics at half time back to hoof it ffs
-
bollocks
-
If you sit back like we have in second half it was coming, absolutely shocking since half time.
-
Dear Christ.
-
fook - dont know why i bother.
-
Our defence really is wank.
-
Hero to zero again
-
Flaps. Come on lads, we can still do this.
-
I knew they would throw it away we always do.
-
petrov and clark are offering zero protection against ramsay's runs from deep
and . . . nice work there from warnock and then hutton
my prediction: 5-2
-
It really is just the worst kind of brainless defending AGAIN! Dreadful stuff from Dunne and Hutton for the goals.
Ah well, you never know...
-
We were fortunate to be 2-0 up at HT but fuck me why can't we just keep doing what we were doing?
-
If you sit back like we have in second half it was coming, absolutely shocking since half time.
Just had a look at the score, busy with work atm. Great stuff Villa :(
-
Fans showing the team how to keep the ball.
-
Another fucking pen!
-
What a bunch of cock.
-
another pen
-
Another penalty, what a fucking joke we are.
-
The crowd keep the ball better than the players
-
Bit embarrassing now
-
I was going to say I dont believe it but I do
-
in bet greens wan king of to this now
-
And another pen what a joke.
-
I'm showing my friend the door....since he turned up it's gone tits up
-
Oh fuck off
-
Fucking moron.
-
Come on, we've seen this all before. No surprises here.
-
We are the dumbest, poorest team in the league.
-
Fuck off.
EDIT: Not you, Paul. This stupid fucking team.
-
Fuck. I give up
-
triple arse
-
15 mins of sheer unprofessional stupidity. What a bunch of clowns
-
embarrasing
-
Has there ever been a team more able to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.
Alex Mcleish's bollockless army.
-
I cant watch any more
-
its guuna be 3-2 in no timeo fuck off,a fuckin joke
-
Go on explain this shit on Twitter...
-
Ah was nice for 45 minutes, but we have totally capitulated now.
-
This was shaping up to be a very good day...
-
bunch of utter twats fuck em all off in the summer manager aswell usless morons
-
55 years and counting.
-
what a load of shit, we do the hard work to get into the lead, and in 15 minutes thrown it all away. Still time left but I just see us crumbling more
-
Brain dead totally brain dead.
-
At least it means we won't lose at MON's Sunderland in round 5. Every cloud and all that...... ???
-
Just fuck off Aston Villa.
-
Anyone feel a hammering coming on here?
-
i knew i should have not watched this half. we've been utterly, utterly, hopeless. pathetic.
-
We have stopped passing to each other, and Hutton and Dunne are having very poor times.
Oh and Van Persie should be off. Ref has no excuse that far away.
-
At least we won't have to worry about suffering the humiliation of being mauled by MON's Sunderland now,
-
Anyone feel a hammering coming on here?
Seems inevitable. Five or six I reckon.
-
at 2-0 it should be game over no ifs or butts
-
Oh well, the first half was nice. It's not often we can say that.
-
i knew i should have not watched this half. we've been utterly, utterly, hopeless. pathetic.
Not that good.
-
Anyone feel a hammering coming on here?
Seems inevitable. Five or six I reckon.
To us.
-
Gardener coming on
-
At least we haven't conceded for a while.
-
We do love showing ourselves up on TV don't we?
-
Where is Emile to save the day?
-
Anyone feel a hammering coming on here?
Seems inevitable. Five or six I reckon.
To us.
Leeg I admire the optimism but really you need testing :)
-
All we had to do. All we had to do was not concede. I thought that was AM's whole modus operandi
-
They mustve been warned about an onslaught at ht,so laboured in their tracking,we stopped passing,moving.
-
All we had to do. All we had to do was not concede. I thought that was AM's whole modus operandi
Park the scooter
-
We haven't got a clue what to do now?
-
gardner to come on for Keane
-
All we had to do. All we had to do was not concede. I thought that was AM's whole modus operandi
Park the scooter
How do you expect them to get the scooter from Birmingham to London?
There's no money for petrol, not with our wage budget.
-

No. AM's "modus operandi" is to get relegated enough times for a dumb arse Chairman to employ you as the cheap option and then play shit football until you get relegated and then some dumb...........
-
What have we got on the bench to change things for the better?
-
arsenal can fook this up
-
What a time for Bentto start tracking back!!!
-
We're picking up a bit.
-
What the actual fuck?
-

In the boot of the Bentley...
-
that spell of knocking it around the back culminating in cuellar hoofing it straight at their midfield was embarassing.
-
Possession is 62% / 38%, this annoys me.
-
All we had to do. All we had to do was not concede. I thought that was AM's whole modus operandi
Yep. He can't organise the defense, he can't organise the midfield, he can't use Darren Bent effectively, he certainly can't motivate. I can't think of one thing he's good at at all. A dire manager who will only take us one way, plus we're stuck with him for another couple of seasons as well. The directionless approach the board has taken over the last two years is showing on the pitch. Utterly dreadful.
-
Bent and Petrov, christ, it's like an episode of the Chuckle Brothers.
-
Can we blame the Ginger one for this second half performance?
-
Gardner on for Gabby
-
look were 1 down with 2 mins to go
-

Tough on Collins.

Getting relegated.
-
bent's hold up play is really poor isn;t it?
-
Villa are like Alex Jones of The One Show. Fairly attractive but not gorgeous. Reasonably entertaining but a bit thick when it gets slightly complicated. And a couple of big boobs per match.
-
Can we blame the Ginger one for this second half performance?
The players have to take their share of the blame, surely. I would love to know what McLeish's half time instructions were though.
-
"2-0 up and we fucked it up"
How can a team capitulate so badly when 2-0 up away at half time and the home fans frustrated. Unbelievable.
Do you blame the management or the players on the pitch who put us 2-0 in the first place?
-

That's a good point.
-
We need to get the pie eating defender off before the ref does it for us.
-
i like ciaran clark, but he's been wank today. really wank

give it a rest. how can he organise a team to cut out individual errors? we were 2-0 up and dunne spunked himself. u need to take a minute before u type things in future
-
I feel like I have been kicked in the balls. Really hard.

I have said the players should shoulder their share of responsibility, but can you look at McLeish's record here and claim any sort of confidence in it?
-
Anybody reminded of that 3-2 turnaround at VP against Man Yoo?

And he's got Prem experience.
-
AM will probably think 3-2 is a good result...
-
Anybody reminded of that 3-2 turnaround at VP against Man Yoo?
Oh yes. What a night that was.
-
thers the chance
-
I feel like I have been kicked in the balls. Really hard.
Imagine what our players must feel like. I've said before that some of our players seem to have confidence issues and the manager has seemed unable to motivate our players and give them confidence so god knows what they will feel like now.
-
Should have been 3 - 3
-

I agree to an extent. There's a reason that Dunne is the joint first for most Premier League sendings off and own goals.
Composed he ain't.
-
wanker kicked the ball at Bent
-
I feel an equaliser coming!
-
I feel an equaliser coming!
I will be fucking amazed if we get anything out of this game...

How many times has he taken Aston Villa here? Go back and read the pages of this thread at half time, his game plan was effective and working well. you cannot teach people to stand up and be men. there are enough 30yr old+ players on the pitch for that not to happen. this is purely the players fault
-
Aston Villa football club only need 2 things.
1. An owner who understands football.
2. A proper manager.
-
When did we last have back to back wins

Good point well made.
-
fooking linesman
-
officials have really fucked us over today.
-
The game pan was fine, we had a brainless 15 minutes and I'm absolutely sure AM's teamtalk wasn't "Act like frightened rabbits and give away penalties."
-
Right: you always get a chance. When it comes, let's take it.
-
Alan Green was quite scathing about Darren Bent on R5, referring to him as a very expensive and ineffective luxury or words to that effect.
Bell end of the highest order. Not interested if its not red
I'm not sure what a bell end is but I am sure that Alan Green is one.
Really?
Well I'm not explaining, but yep he certainly is and a smelly one at that
Well, I've googled it and found it - so to speak
-
Has anybody pointed out the perfect comedy symmetry of the two penalties being given away by our two goalscorers? Really, you couldn't write this stuff...
-
officials have really fucked us over today.
Our defence has fucked us over today. Something they have doing for 2 seasons at least now
-
Why do we ever have hope.

So what happened to the second half tactics then? Was he expecting Arsenal not to come out at us full pelt? I agree with you to an extent, the players have to take some of the responsibility, but you also have to question the managers tactics.
-
they are bringing that twat on now
-
after next weds home game the writing will be well and truly on the wall
-
Why do we ever have hope.
I know, it's the hope that kills you, not the losing.
-
Right: you always get a chance. When it comes, let's take it.
We've had them and the players pass rather than shoot, looks like a lack of confidence.
-
after next weds home game the writing will be well and truly on the wall
For..............

You think so? I don't.

True, Bent should stay up near the halfway line...
-

Tactics have nothing to do with the fact that three of our four defenders can't tackle standing up and have to throw themselves into challenges constantly, giving away stupid goals and penalties. You can excuse a striker for doing it, for Warnock, Hutton and Dunne there is no excuse.
-
after next weds home game the writing will be well and truly on the wall
You think so? I don't.
If you mean relegation, nah. If you mean McLeish, I can't see that either. Some of our players must be replaced in the summer though, a big change is needed.
-
We have absolutely no desire to win this whatsoever.
-
We have really fucked this up ain't we. Proper fucking useless unprofessional tossers.
-
fuck off Henry you cheating prick
-
It's not where the manager came from it's what he is, and that is not good enough. Like most of the team.
-
Bent is walking not working
-
So that'll be 16 years and won fuck all. Maybe next year.
-
darren bent is a fucking coward
-

Dunne and Hutton errors yet again leading to 2 of their goals
-
glad henry didnt get his fucking headline. well done carlos, i think craig burley would have exploded
-
.. and Clark is very tired
-
ffs .... donkeys
-
oh well season over
-
Wank. Another year goes by. Another Cup failure.
-
Fuck off Villa. That was shit.
-
darren bent is a fucking coward
Yeah, he's bottled 3 or 4 opportunities today, he's left his balls in the dressing room.
He makes Downing look brave.
-
And the dream dies for another year.
-
Sad and pissed off. Got to do heaps of work now as well. Bloody hell, Villa.
-
I FUCKING HATE FOOTBALL!
-
Bleeding shambles.
First half was really good but once Arsenal got the first back it was kind of inevitable wasn't it?
Warnock and Hutton please please please fcuk off before Tuesday midnight.
Keane wasn't much better but still has credit in his bank from Molineux.
Ireland was superb.
-
I think that's it. I can't be arsed to invest the time any more. Will follow the scores by newspaper, but they're not getting another minute out of me.
-
I think we played alright but made 3 costly errors and were punished for all 3 thier pace shone through.We were 2-0 up but out lack of pace in midfield was evident from the start and they used that to full effect.
Would have been handly to take a win into the QPR game now losing like that I think the crowd at home will be restless for that match
-
In the 43 years of supporting Villa I have never witnessed such a pair of inadequate, inept, miserable excuses for full back. How many goals have these utter and complete clowns donated to the opposition this season?
-
Oh well, its only a game. We just messed up, but its been happening all season, players playing well one minute, and appalling the next. Confusing, annoying but at half time everyone thought we were the greatest!
Up The Villa, always.
And I would rather have the passion Alex was showing than the so called schoolmasterly Wenger
-
Well done lads!!
There's not another team in the country that would capitulate like that.
You can always count on Villa finding a way to fuck things up and that's been the way long before Eck turned up.
-
Agree about the full backs tho, awful, and the source of most of our problems
-
Well done lads!!

Spot on.
It's been a problem for as long as I've supported this lot (15 years). We've always been hopeless at defending leads against good teams.
This sort of reminds me of Manure last season when we were battering them in the second half, 2-0 up and yet I had the naggin feeling we wouldn't win the game.
Same today at half time although I thought we'd hang on to get a replay.
-
Good night turn the lights off on the way out randy
-
The game was exciting and we played with great desire, but if you have 2 clowns in the team you can't have any ambition.
Arsenal had three goals gifted: one by Dunne, one by the referee and one by Hutton. But it was the Dunne's silly foul that decided the game, as usual.
You dont need to be Leonardo da Vinci to realize that at the end of the 1st half they were overwhelmed by whistles of their own fans, and to comprehend that if we had resisted for 20 minutes they would give up. There was only one thing to avoid, to concede an easy gol, and Clownne did it, as usual. I only wonder if his huge wages are paid by AVFC or AFC. . .

Did you enjoy the goal that Dunne scored Archie?
-
As someone who posted a rant after we withdrew from the FA Cup last season it's only fair to come on and say at least we had a go this time.
The fact we weren't good enough to get any further, or hold onto a two goal lead, is another matter altogether – but at least I can't accuse our manager this year of showing disrespect to either the competition or those that travelled to Bristol and/or Arsenal.
This time last year despite having the services of Ashley Young, Downing and Kyle Walker at his disposal, the previous manager felt we couldn't let the cup get in the way of avoiding relegation.
-
Heard of an Arsenal fan who went for a pint before half time and came back late in teh second half. He managed to miss four goals.
