Available Sunday afternoon.
-
Same team as QPR.
-
Given, Hutton, Cuellar, Dunne, Warnock, N’Zogbia, Ireland, Petrov, Clark, Bent, Keane. Subs: Guzan, Weimann, Gardner, Bannan, Baker, Lichaj, Heskey.
-
Come on you Villa boys, please play well for an entire game, not just a phase of a game and win!
-
Come on the Villa.
-
I might have changed Gardner for Clark, but overall happy enough with the team other than the back four. However not a lot we can do about that.
-
Decent Stream anyone?

I had one this morning, you could say it was decent I suppose.

First Row Sports are usually good, but their site seems to be down.

Come on the Villa boys.
-
any newcastle team news
A little...Ba up front with Best. Cisse on the bench
-
any newcastle team news
Ba and Best will be making our defence look frail.
-
Newcastle: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, Ryan Taylor, Guthrie, Perch, Gutierrez, Ba, Best. Subs: Elliot, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Gosling, Shola Ameobi, Obertan, Ferguson.
-
And the cricket will finish just in time. England 36-0 chasing 324.
-
Guthrie and Perch as there two centre midfielders? Even we should be able to dominate that.
-
Hopefully Ba knackered and shot of confidence from the Africa Cup of Nations.
-
Decent Stream anyone?
I had one this morning, you could say it was decent I suppose.
I said stream, not stroke :)
-
Ba is the stand out player they are missing thier best 2 midfielders we CAN win this !

Sky mainly obsessed with Chelski v Manure right now ... yawn.

Same here. Turn it on at kick off then off at half time whistle, then back on for 2nd half.

And me
-
Gutierrez could give Hutton a right working-over.
-
That's not bloody Halsey is it? - gawd 'elp us.
-
I'm not sure on Ireland on the right, I think he needs to be more central.
-
First Row Sports (http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/106168/7/watch-newcastle-united-vs-aston-villa.html) seems to be up now
-
Come on Villa!
-
Halsey? We're fucked.
-
I'm not sure on Ireland on the right, I think he needs to be more central.
Agreed. He started right against QPR but seemed to be playing a more central role 2nd half.
-
First Row Sports (http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/106168/7/watch-newcastle-united-vs-aston-villa.html) seems to be up now
Premier Streams via the earlier wiziwig link is spot on. Far better. No pop-up ads!
-
I hope we never sponsor Villa Park

I'm on Ubuntu so don't get those!
-
We look so much better in blue socks.
-
While I like the black socks, we really do look like the Villa today.
-
Bent losing out three times in challenges ...
-
Dunne looked awful there.
-
Bloody hell N'Zog
-
That was a bit cak from N'Zog.
-
Afternoon chaps, what's the drink of choice today? lets face it we will need one before this is over...
-
Bent's been awful so far
-
Bent losing out three times in challenges ...
Yes and more since. Why can he not get control of the ball? The one time Keane did the job, he created a chance (wasted by Charlie).
-
Midfield isn't getting close enough to defence and it's causing us to hoof it too much.
-
Well played Warnock, there.
-
Fuck me. What's with all the long balls? McLeish going nuts on the sideline.
Morning all.
-
Good block Warnock.
-
Bent's been awful so far
Must be those yellow boots.
-
Afternoon chaps, what's the drink of choice today? lets face it we will need one before this is over...
Tried ale but switched to white wine for slow and steady nerve steadying.
-
Cuellar looks so good in defence; shame about his passing.
-
leon best - bambi on ice
-
great tackle by Warnock (feels good typing that).
-
Red wine soon I think, then out for a cheeky afternoon pint.
-
Can we send the Galaxy back Heskey instead of Keane? Do you think they would notice?
-
It's frightening to see Heskey on the bench. Surely we have a better option to fill that seat.
-
Cisse coming on for Best
-
All set up for Cisse to star ..
-
bollocks
-
Cisse looks a
fat bastard big unit
-
Early introduction for Cisse. Hopefully he will take a while to settle.
Bent, saved
-
Great ball from Keane to Bent.
-
Fuck Bent should have done better
-
Great ball from Keane, good goalkeeping.
-
Here we go. Villa to give another career a boost? Cisse coming on early for Best.
-
Cisse looks a fat bastard big unit
Were you looking at the right one?
-
Fuck Bent should have done better
I thought it was a great save.
-
Bent should have scored.
-
Oe! for me that was a bad first touch by Bent. It took him too wide and made the save easier.
Great pass though. Was it Clark?
-
Cisse looks a fat bastard big unit
Were you looking at the right one?
Must have been his coat! My bad
-
Keane looking sharp as fook
-
Keane has been outstanding.
-
Robbie Keane = world class
-
Petrov has started well
-
Keane really does create great spaces
-
Bent played it and then stopped.
-
It'd be nice if we had a single player in the squad who was good enough at this game to link up with Keane properly. He's a step ahead of everyone.
-
Fucks sake, get in the fucking box
-
I love the way McL is doing his nut about stuff.
-
Cisse looks a fat bastard big unit
Were you looking at the right one?
Must have been his coat! My bad
Dunny is a big unit and about as mobile as as my coffee table.
-
I can understand them booing Charles and Bent, but I'm surprised they are booing Ireland. Unless it is the ones who saw him play for them last season.
-
Yes why did nobody bust a gut to get in the box. And Dunne should then have booted that ball out rather than give Cisse a chance of glory.
-
Keane's been exceptional. Bent has been shit. Really should have scored. Should have played Keane imn to shoot. and then when his touch was over hit should have followed into the 6 yard box.
still fancy him to score though
-
Not a great place to give away a free kick
-
It'd be nice if we had a single player in the squad who was good enough at this game to link up with Keane properly. He's a step ahead of everyone.
Ireland seems to. Ireland is starting to look a very useful player. He is usually the guy that gets ahead of the midfield but yet today he's already nipped in a stole a few balls and was the first one back defending there. I remember reading when we signed him that he thought his biggest asset was his fitness and he's starting to show that now.
-
Looked like handball by Guittierez
-
Have we ever had a player who was hated as much as Ireland only to turn it round?
-
Clark is struggling again, his passing is off.
-
Just because he also has coloured skin and yellow boots doesn't mean Bent is Nzogbia Mr Commentator.
-
Have we ever had a player who was hated as much as Ireland only to turn it round?
Could be a hero before long.
-
Clark giving the ball away a lot, again.
-
Have we ever had a player who was hated as much as Ireland only to turn it round?
Depends if Warnock and Hutton turn it around.
-
Lively start, need a goal. Wouldn't fancy it if they scored first and some of these draws need to be turned into wins!
-
Just because he also has coloured skin and yellow boots doesn't mean Bent is Nzogbia Mr Commentator.
2nd time now.
-
Away support in good voice.
-
Clark still developing. Clearly.
-
Feck it, time to bet the Rum and Ginger out...
-
Is Warnock playinog dead so he can be brought off?
-
Just because he also has coloured skin and yellow boots doesn't mean Bent is Nzogbia Mr Commentator.
I count 3
2nd time now.
-
is it just me or is this game a bit dull?
oh Warnock is dead again.... this lad is poleaxed every game!!
-
Apart from the recent poor pass, Warnock has started very well.
-
Yes McInally, just because no Villa player shows for the ball doesn't mean Warnock should play it to a Stripey shirt in a dangerous area.
-
If Warnock comes off I'd like to see Lichaj back there
-
Is Warnock playinog dead so he can be brought off?
He deserved that whack for giving the ball away and letting Newcastle put on pressure.
-
Clark giving the ball away a lot, again.
It's what happens to our players. They come from the Youth and Reserve teams who happily pass it and move, then whent hey come into the first team....
-
still making basic errors. clark and warnock particularly bad ones.
keane is the key, but he needs better movement in and around him. we should be able to provide that
-
Ireland did well defensively there.
-
That Cisse is looking sharp, I was hoping the weather would do for him.
-
Bent should have scored again.
-
I was sure he'd score. Great ball from Dunne.
-
Fabulous play by Dunne to Bent
-
That was a cracking ball from Dunny
-
Dunne was doing that on Wednesday...driving the team forward. Well played.
-
Good slide rule pass from Dunne, shame it couldn't be finished.
-
Great pass by Dunne
-
Wow, Dunne having a Messi moment! Another good save the bastard.
-
Great through ball from Dunne. Good save.
-
Excellent save, the git.
-
Bent really doesn't look to be at it today
-
Keane is really looking like our best player.
-
Fuck me...
-
Bollocks, Ba
-
Good tackle Hutton!
-
The fucking ******
-
1-0 Ba fucking hell.
-
Arse
-
Poor defending! Poor, poor, poor.
-
Shit
-
Fuck. We are creating some and not taking advantage. And now we've paid for it
-
Cuellar left him for that goal..
-
Thanks again, Darren "Needs 5 chances before he takes one" Bent.
-
aarrgh
so many really good chances. and a ball tossed into the box that we can't deal with again.
aaarrrgh
-
cant we send hutton to the mls for keane?
-
This is the worst villa defence I have ever seen.
-
inevitable
-
Jammy jammy fuckers.
-
OK, let's not panic. We've seen we can create chances, let's just be patient.
As a side note, I wonder how long that Ba will be at Newcastle?
-
Our defence is fucking calamitous.
-
Ah well, it looks like we're taking a few of them down with us!
-
How can so many Villa defenders in the box give one man so much space?
-
Thanks again, Darren "Needs 5 chances before he takes one" Bent.
Utter fucking rubbish.
-
Cuellar left him for that goal..
TBH, it was one of those, Dunne had him originally from the throw in and then the ball deflected to him.
At least Warnock seems to be on a personal mission to take out as many bar codes as he can.
-
I hate to see players go down like that. Looks really bad.
-
(http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac223/kingthing_2010/groundhogday.jpg)
-
Thanks again, Darren "Needs 5 chances before he takes one" Bent.
They were hardly clear cut chances though were they?
-
Thanks again, Darren "Needs 5 chances before he takes one" Bent.
Utter fucking rubbish.
Indeed, two superb saves have stopped him giving us the lead.
-
Thanks again, Darren "Needs 5 chances before he takes one" Bent.
If he scored every chance he had he'd be playing for Man Utd without doubt. He doesn't, so he plays for us and is still the best goalscorer we've had for years.
-
Thanks again, Darren "Needs 5 chances before he takes one" Bent.
Yes, it's clearly his fault that in one move Dunne fails to win a header and Cuellar, Hutton and Warnock put in crap tackles.
-
Customary defending.
-
Thanks again, Darren "Needs 5 chances before he takes one" Bent.
Utter fucking rubbish.
Indeed, two superb saves have stopped him giving us the lead.
Yep and the comment of 'fucking rubbish' is ridiculous.
-
Am watching the game on my new telly, a 42" Samsung sat about 4 foot away, brilliant.
-
yes, we've considered much worse goals this season! newcastle throw the ball in the box a lot and you get rebounds.
perhaps clark or petrov need to be dropping into the box to help clear the second ball?
-
(http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac223/kingthing_2010/groundhogday.jpg)
nice
-
Ba humbug
-
McLeish really needs to dismantle this defence in the summer. Useless.
-
That leg injury looks bad. Hope it is not a break.
-
Thanks again, Darren "Needs 5 chances before he takes one" Bent.
Utter fucking rubbish.
Did you not know, it is trendy these days to make out our best strike in god knows how long is shit. The keeper has done brilliantly on both and the first chance is one you hardly ever see a player score from that position. But lets blame him for our plight.
Defence did well there didn't they. Love the way Warnock woke up as the ball bounced to what was around him.
-
Ah no SV, Warnock's was a good, last ditch challenge, we were unlucky that the rebound fell nicely for Ba.
-
Not really sure why Given was so far over to one side.
-
Hutton, Warnock and Dunn three players I want replacing asap.
-
It's frustrating because we passed and moved so well on wednesday (eventually). Where's the consistency (attacking wise - I'm aware it is consistent from a defensive point of view).
-
are we auditioning for a new game show 'Can't Defend, Won't Defend', hosted by Dion Dublin (in the Ainsley role) whereby the Villa back 4 are put into various comedy defending postions by some complete clowns off the street with a tesco bag full of organic peppers and some smoked mackrel. the more fuck ups they make the more Dion has to try and stop Dunny eating all the food, Hutton from tattooing the contests, Cueller slide tackling everything that moves and Warnock suffocating himself by accident with one of the bags...... pissing useless!
-
Yep and the comment of 'fucking rubbish' is ridiculous.
Might be missing some obvious sarcasm in your post, but my comment was directed at the poster having a go at Bent, not Bent himself.
-
Jammy bastards score with their first real chance. Poor defending again though.
-
The forwards seem somewhat disconnected from the MF - Ireland into the middle after half-time?
-

Proof, if any were needed, that football fans shouldn't be listened to.
-
As it stands Newcastle are level 4th, they really are us from about 2 or 3 years ago. Unfortunately, we're us from about 5 years ago under O'Leary.
-

Fight Fight Fight...
-
I'm still sticking by my prediction for a 3-1 defeat!
-
Hutton, Warnock and Dunn three players I want replacing asap.
I'll say it quietly but I don't think Hutton has done too much wrong recently.
-
How is that a yellow?
-
Dunny you stupid slow fat twat... Why foul him?
-
Warnock now trying to injure himself in the hoardings.
And Dunne ran out of steam and now booked going forward.
-
Dunne, you ignorant tit.
-
That was never a booking.
-
Warnock is like the guy near the end of Platoon with the amount of bangs he has. The one that gets shot a million times but keeps on running (though he does eventually collapse and die).
-
Afternoon. Really poor, poor defending. Two opportunities to stop the goal, especially by Dunne.
-
Dunny you stupid slow fat twat... Why foul him?
Just seen the replay, unlucky fat twat :)
-

Ah I apologise that was my misunderstanding.
-
Don't agree Alan, thought he did try to pull that back.
-
And N'Zogbia, what was the point in shooting from there. Arse.
-
Have we got Halsey today?
Should never have been allowed back. That was never a booking.
Put with Dowd. P as one of the poorest in the league.
-
Typical Villa. Good forward play ruined by an awful defence.
-
That was not a booking. Hope Halsey does not find cause for a second yellow.
-
really could do with gabby in a game like this, they look so vulnerable on the break
CNZ is a frustrating player isn't he?
-
We really do lack genuine pace in all areas of the pitch. Gabby and possibly N'Zogbia are the real exception in squad, but when you look everywhere else we are quite pedestrian. Clark and Stan are good players but they are both quite slow.
-
Ireland close
-
Nice effort by Ireland
-
Good effort.
We've got goals in us.
-
Good move, unlucky Ireland.
-
Ah I apologise that was my misunderstanding.
No worries, I can see how there might have been a misunderstanding.
Our set pieces seem to be a bit more inventive, decent chance for Ireland there.
-
Lovely passing. This is more like it.
-
We really need at least one winger in this game esp on the right.
-
We've been easily the better team so far. Playing some really nice stuff.
-
Nice move that, if Bent had just delayed his run by a second he's he was in.
-
We have been the better side, but again our defence means we're going to have to score a minimum of 2.
-
It's shaping up to be one of those days isn't it.
-
Wouldn't change anything at the moment.
They got a lucky bounce for their one real chance, we look dangerous every time we go forward.
-
Were playing well,they play a high line,so hopefully they'll be other chances.
-
N'Zog has been crap so far.
-
Didn't realise how much of a confidence player N'Zogbia is.
-
N'Zogbia could have released that
-
We are breaking really well. We need to get something out of it all.
-
Typical Villa. Good forward play ruined by an awful defence.
That's it in a nutshell (again). Strangely it's exactly what I didn't think we'd be under McLeish.
-
We are better team but Newcastle have a winning habit as they proved at Bburn on Wednesday after being battered for 90 mins.
-
Typical Villa. Good forward play ruined by an awful defence.
That's it in a nutshell (again). Strangely it's exactly what I didn't think we'd be under McLeish.
Hopefully he'll sort the defence out in the summer.
-
Newcastle have been lucky. As they have been this season from what I hear. Blackburn battered them the other day when Newcastle beat them 2-0 and only having one shot.
-
Fecking missus just had a go at me for blowing candles out, she is sat in the conservatory watching some shit. Why does she need candles lit in a room she is not in?
-
More comedy defending
-
They have been lucky but at the same time we haven't taken our chances. And they should have scored again there.
-
Yet again, the defence almost blows it for us again.
Really can't believe how bad they are.
-
More shit defending.
-
Late to the party, but we've been unlucky so far. Played well, had some good chances and yet we're one down.
Almost another one then, fucking hell.
-
Newcastle have been lucky. As they have been this season from what I hear. Blackburn battered them the other day when Newcastle beat them 2-0 and only having one shot.
I think they'll be one season wonders. Luck always runs out in the end.
-
sweet baaaaaaabaaaay haysoozs! we can't defend any kind of cross with any confidence!
-
I do prefer Cuellar to Collins, but not just then.
-
If Collins did what Cuellar just did, he'd have been slated. Awful defending.
-
Terrible defending has dashed a decent performance so far.
-
Our defence does really need a major overhaul in the summer.
-
we are getting gradually worse at defending here... which is quite an acheivement!
-
More comedy defending
Individually the players should be good enough but as a unit they're diabolical.
-
A lot of people scoffed when we were linked with Guthrie but he's been very industrious in their midfield
-
KEANO
-
Get in>>>>>>>>>
-
Yes, Keano
-
Keane!!!'!!!!!!!!!
-
Get in Keano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great ball N'Zog!
-
Deserved - what a signing!!!
-
YYYYEEEESSS Keano!!!!
-
And the celebration! Used to hate that, love it now!
-
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes!
-
YES ROBBIE KEANE!
You fucking beaut.
-
i think Robbie Keane might have enjoyed that just a little bit
GOOOOOOOOOO ON!
-
Well played N'Zogbia s well. Gave it KEane on a plate.
-
Get in!
-
sign him up!
-
Great goal - N'Zog gets it right!
-
I love Robbie Keane.
-
Keane has been fantastic, and that was a great ball by N'Zog.
-
Fucking splendiferous!
-
Fully deserved,great cross from Charlie.
-
What a great move for the goal!
-
Does anyone hate his celebration now? Great play from N'Zog. We absolutely deserve that
-
That's the very least we deserved. Well done Villa.
-
What a fantastic player. Love him!
-
If only we had players like Olaf and ML back in defence we would be challenging for Europe.
-
We deserved that. Excellent play by Nzog.
-
Get in! We've just got a Geordie joiner round measuring up for some cupboards he's building. We scored just as he walked in!
-
1-1 game on!!! Perfect timing again.
-
Anyone think Keano would like to stay for good?
-
Get in Robbie Absolutely deserved that.
-
Get - that's especially for the Geordie with the whistle.
-
There you go Charlie, put the ball in the box instead of shooting and look what happens ;D
-
If only we had players like Olaf and ML back in defence we would be challenging for Europe.
We really need a massive Scandnavian bastard back there.
-
get the cheque book ready randy you tight get
-
Robbie Keane is just.. on another level isn't he? I never would have said it before, I rated him but didn't know the extent of his talent. He's just a great footballer. He leads the team, tells players what to do, where to play it. I really, really, don't want him to go.
-
Do you think L.A Galaxy would notice if we sent Emile Heskey back to them instead of Robbie Keane?
-
I keep saying it but just go and sign Keane for the rest of the season.
-
Pisser that we have to give Keane back. It's like test driving a BMW for the weekend then returning it and going back to your Daewoo Matiz.
-
Just put the stream on and bang 1-1.
-
Vintage goal, vintage Celebration.
KEANNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
I was just going to say nothing quite working for Keano around the box. Then bosh. Get in Robbie.
And please bloody sign him Villa.
-
Do you think L.A Galaxy would notice if we sent Emile Heskey back to them instead of Robbie Keane?
I doubt it. The resemblance between the two is uncanny.
-
That's the least we deserve. Keane has been the best player on the pitch by a mile.
-
Vintage goal, vintage Celebration.
As celebrations go, it used to be shite, but now it's allright!!
-
Get - that's especially for the Geordie with the whistle.
Yeah I noticed that and thought Halsey had blown for half time way too early. Serves the bastard right
-
Pisser that we have to give Keane back. It's like test driving a BMW for the weekend then returning it and going back to your Daewoo Matiz.
OR swapping a footballer for Heskey...
-
The thrust of my comments here would have been the same if we'd been losing. I think we're playing much better than we had been up to half time last week at Arsenal when we were two up.
Lots of problems still. Clark's form has dropped a lot. Cuellar is over rated by many on here. We still look vulnerable at the back generally.
But we've put together some really good moves, exploiting the weaknesses in Newcastle's championship standard midfield. Keane has been absolutely sensational. Bent's movement has been very good but his touch and finishing weak. Ireland and CNZ have been intermittently threatening.
Keane is DEMANDING that people do the things we haven't done properly for ages: move off the ball; want the ball; have the confidence to play it.
I really fancy us to get another here, but we could easily concede a couple too. Interesting second half
-
The twat on Sky News said "an improbable equaliser for Villa fen Keane"
What match is he watching or has he just assumed like rest of his colleagues that it's Villa so they must have had a lucky punt?
-
We have to continue to play like we have in the second half and take our chances.
-
Pisser that we have to give Keane back. It's like test driving a BMW for the weekend then returning it and going back to your Daewoo Matiz.
I suppose better to have him for a limited amount of time than not at all. And I've a sneaking feeling that Ireland might be able to step up and replace him in that role. Might be wrong, but we'll see soon enough i suppose.
-
Keane/Bent partnership produced 4 goals in 24 apperences at spurs Certainly an improvement here 6 goals in 4 games
-
according Fox sports Keane scored 90th min, do they know something that we don't.
-
Keane may not have the pace anymore, but his speed of thought and awareness is exceptional.
-
I keep saying it but just go and sign Keane for the rest of the season.
Yeah everyone keeps saying that but it isn't going to happen really is it?
-
Pisser that we have to give Keane back. It's like test driving a BMW for the weekend then returning it and going back to your Daewoo Matiz.
Yes Heskey will just do that job in March. After all its a matter of getting from A to B.
Oh and I don't like your bigging up BMW on here!
-
Just seen highlights of our goal again. Very good ball from Petrov to find Keane fast when we won the ball on the halfway line. Maybe the sideways tag will be put away now.
-
We have played some brilliant stuff today. Deserve to be winning. Play the same second half and we'll win this comfortably even with the usual calamitous defending.
-
Just seen highlights of our goal again. Very good ball from Petrov to find Keane fast when we won the ball on the halfway line. Maybe the sideways tag will be put away now.
Maybe Alex sat down with petrov and each player what he felt they were doing wrong....
-
Do you think L.A Galaxy would notice if we sent Emile Heskey back to them instead of Robbie Keane?
Offer them Heskey, Hutton and a bag of marbles and we might have a deal
-
I still dont understand the idiots on facebook saying "defensive, negative boring football"...I havent seen that since Tottenham!
-
It's really important that we don't concede another soft goal from a ball tossed into the box. Even with Newcastle being outplayed, they're a threat because their forwards are really dangerous
-
Just seen highlights of our goal again. Very good ball from Petrov to find Keane fast when we won the ball on the halfway line. Maybe the sideways tag will be put away now.
The sideways tag has always been harsh. All day here he's been pinging it forward any chance he's had. Petrov is a great player to have.
-
Do you think L.A Galaxy would notice if we sent Emile Heskey back to them instead of Robbie Keane?

Throw in Dunny and you have a deal
-

No *uck off they are not having marbles!
-

Yeah everyone keeps saying that but it isn't going to happen really is it?
It depends whether a deal can be reached with LA Galaxy. After all they have previous with Beckham and unlike him, Keane is definitely going to the summer tournament as a player.

On the positive, we are back in it, that said this is the first time I have seen Newcastle for a full game and have to say, how they are where they are defies logic, slow, ponderous, you name it, had Bent been up to it we would have been ahead without doubt.
2nd half to come, a point would be a great result, a win is possible also.
-
Just seen highlights of our goal again. Very good ball from Petrov to find Keane fast when we won the ball on the halfway line. Maybe the sideways tag will be put away now.
Petrov has been forward-thinking all season, since Herd and then Clark took over the defensive duties.
As ever, Petrov is massively under-rated by many. He's played well throughout the first half.
-

That's because he's got somebody showing for the ball in front of him. Nobody else in the team does that, when Keane goes you can't imagine Heskey showing for the ball in the hole.
-
Ireland coming off for Bannan, oh no. Well good luck Barry.
-
Barry Banana on for Ireland.
-
Banann coming on? Ireland must be injured?
-
Bannan on for Ireland? Must be a knock?
-
Is Ireland injured? Bannan on.
-

They are missing Tiote.
Bannan on for Ireland? Picked up an injury?
-
Bannan on for IReland? Clearly an injury. Now's your chance Barry, make sure you take it because when Keane goes back, Ireland may well be moved to Keanes position.
-
Must be, he was playing well enough anyway.
-
Surprised about the subbing of Ireland.
-
Is Ireland injured?
-
Please Villa, don't concede a goal in the first few minutes of this half
-
My stream is performing like cack - which is the best one please?
-
That looked messy there
-
The defence nearly did for us again there.
-
Fucking hell, Given totally missed the ball then.
-
Defensive chaos again.
-
We never pass up an opportunity to look like the Keystone Cops in defence, do we?
-
That sums up our defence.
-
What a start! Jesus wept
-
Is Ireland injured?
Fucking madness to take him off if he isn't.
-
Why is Bent standing near the keeper on every kick? It just means he is offside if we win the first ball forward.
-
I'll whisper it quietly too,I think Hutton's starting to look like he's had a damascus moment,and he believes he could be a premiership right back
-
Think Gardner would have been better suited than Bannan myself.
-
I'll whisper it quietly too,I think Hutton's starting to look like he's had a damascus moment,and he believes he could be a premiership right back
You never know, Ireland turned it round.
-
Do you think L.A Galaxy would notice if we sent Emile Heskey back to them instead of Robbie Keane?
I swear I said something eerily similar about 45mins ago...
-
Come on Villa, lets have another...
-
there are very few premier league footballers without disastrously shit tattoos these days.
-
Warnock...fuck sake
-
Warcnock turned attack into defence in .8 of a second.
-
Warnock doing his impression of a headless chicken.
-
jesus wept. warnock is dire
-
Is this a how many times you can mention Warnock in a match competition.
-
Warnock is a bloody reality show waiting to happen inside a football match.
-
Someone shoulda gave him a shout. Help each other out.
-
Great ball Bannan there
-
Warnock's like a jelly fish in a wet suit.
-
Unlucky Bannan, almost played through Bent.
-
Talksport saying Ireland told Pardew to F off
Can't hold that against him to be honest...
Edit: apparently how told McGinge to F off, hence the substitution
-
Thank goodness Pardew brought on Obertan.
-
Match is opening up. Can be anybodies.
-
Is this a how many times you can mention Warnock in a match competition.
My apologies. I treat match threads like a stream of conciousness...

Wasn't aimed at you, was me agreeing with it.
-

I agree. Which is why it's a shame everyone automatically blasts Warnock. He was looking for the pass, he had many team mates behind him who coulda told him to get rid. Communication is key, from defence to attack.
-
Someone shoulda gave him a shout. Help each other out.
I get the impression that the communication generally is not good in this team.
The thing is he can see him coming, just not judging how much time he had was the main issue.

Going off at half time I presume, but no further information from Talksport's touchline reporter!
-
on the back foot a bit here. Balls thrown into the box are causing us problems
i didnt realise newcastle were always this direct?
-
Second half has been cack so far from a Villa perspective.
-
Is Ireland injured?
Fucking madness to take him off if he isn't.
Even if he wasn't, isn't that the purpose of a squad? The ability to change things if you think someone else like Bannan, Albrighton etc can offer something else.
-
Lucky again.
-
More truly dismal defending.
-
Lucky there. Cisse should have scored
-
Cisse should have scored there
-
Who was picking up Cisse then!!?
-
Dunne, just mark the fucking attackers standing a few feet from you, you useless fat knacker.
-
Cuellar had to peel off to head to the ball, someone should have took up his spot on Cisse.
-
Cisse looks like Samuel Eto'o - are they related?!
-
See this is again like most games, we've played well for a half and we can't maintain it for a whole game.
-
We've stopped passing and moving. Way too many 50/50 balls pumped forward.
-
Is Ireland injured?
Fucking madness to take him off if he isn't.
Even if he wasn't, isn't that the purpose of a squad? The ability to change things if you think someone else like Bannan, Albrighton etc can offer something else.
Has taking him off improved things?
-
The hoof out of defence is getting pretty inrritating.
-
Sitting deep now and just hoofing. Keane showing his exasperation.
-
We dropping back a lot now,Bent is getting isolated.
-
I'd bring Gardner on for Clark.
-
We fucking give the ball away so much. Surely it has to click at some point that the long ball is utterly useless unless Gabby is up there. And even then it has limited success.
-
Giving it away cheaply as usual.
-
We've been absolutely crap this half
-
Clark again gives it away, bring Gardner on for him now.
-
We look really tired at the moment.
-

Well if what Richard has reported is true, he should have been taken off as no manager can let a player get away with that in public.
-
When we concede which we will if this keeps up we will have been the architects of our own downfall.
-
Heskey oh fucking hell.
-
Can't get out of our half. Why is this half like a League 2 side trying to keep a Premier League team at bay in the cup?
Oh and deep joy, The Mule is warming up.
-
Why the fuck is Heskey coming on.
-
Jesus Christ.
-
Oh, great, Heskey.
-
FFS, we've lost.
-
Heskey. Fuck.
-
Oh fuck me heskeys coming on
-
Heskey....
-
Heskey imminent?!!OMG - why not bring on GG.
-
Heskey for N'Zog, mental.
-
If Heskey's the answer someone's asking the wrong question
-

I agree.
-
Oh dear! Hoooofffff!!!
-
Fucks sake. Why can we no longer pass the ball. Clearly we're capable of it. We've all seen it.
And now I see Heskey coming on...more hoofs then.
I don't get it.
-
Why the fuck have we bought Heskey on for our only outllet.
That is about as idiotic as it comes!
-
oh well
-
Oh fuck off.
-

That's not the point though is it?
-
Nice guy, great pro but the sooner Heskey leaves the better.
-
Playing hoofball? Welcome to the direct sports arena Ivanhoe.
-
what an idiot McCleish! WHY WHY WHY?
-
Why Bent? Why?
-
Hesky? Why?
-
we're just lumping everything now. need more composure
keane has dropped down a level or two and it's really showing
this is a bloody defensive sub isn't it? don't we need more players who can pass the ball, not fewer?
bent's hold up play is really poor isn't it?
-
Heskey on for Zog? Fuuuuck.
-
Is he bringing him on to defend Fucking corners.
-
WHY?! We now have no width at all
-
Bent's link-up play is rubbish ... lucky hhe pops up to score from time to time!!
That's not a dig at him BTW.
-
Gardner should be on for Clark.
-
Why the fuck is Heskey coming on.
This.................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
We need a good 5 mins on the ball, patient play to calm us down
Bents been shite today
-
Great chance that
-
Unlucky Bent.
-
So are we 442 now but with no width at all?
-
Another chance for Bent.
-
Just don't understand that at all.
-
What do we have to do to finish this fuckers career.
-
Under McLeish we have shown more ingenuity with free kicks/corners etc.
-
Why the fuck is Heskey coming on.
LA Galexy scouts are here and a swap deal for Keane could be on if Emile does the business
-
I really don't understand the Heskey enigma.
-
That type of freekick needs an instant ball in, not a delay Hutton.
-
Fuck off. From our corner we manage to find Given
-
Fuck me Cisse
-
Bloody hell
-
Oh, well.
-
2-1 fuck off.
-
MOre great defending.
-
The fucking defence again aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh just fuck off.
-
Fucking hell we pick up no one at the back.
He shanked that fucker too.
-
Fuck right off.
-
Good goal, but for fuck sake
CLOSE HIM FUCKING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
It just had to be against us. It is just so typical.
-
Terrible defending again, noone near him.
-
Fucking defence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The space he had; Hutton should have put the ball out from Gutierrez.
-
Well you could have put money on him scoring so I did and Ba as well we're so fucking predictable.
-
Why the fuck is Heskey coming on.
LA Galexy scouts are here and a swap deal for Keane could be on if Emile does the business
Thats Keano going back then...
-
Oh good grief....
-
Why was Dunne doing some gentle warm up excercises instead of stopping that going to him?
-
Fuck.
That's been coming all half. Bringing Heskey on, absolutely pathetic decision. It just shouts "we're settling for a draw". Now we have to try and win the game with the fucking useless tumbling bear up front.
-
We have a corner give the ball away and let a goal in at the other end, crap
-
People can say what a goal all they like that fucker totally miss kicked that.
-
quality finish though
-
Why is it Villa always gives the other players a career boost.
-
Fuck.
That's been coming all half. Bringing Heskey on, absolutely pathetic decision. It just shouts "we're settling for a draw". Now we have to try and win the game with the fucking useless tumbling bear up front.
Agreed.
-
Oh FFS. Who fucking just missed that ball across. Time and time again villa.
-
Is this the worst defence we have ever had?
-
They bring on a ten million pound man,we bring on Heskey.
-
Good goal, but for fuck sake
CLOSE HIM FUCKING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aren't defenders supposed to do that anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
And previously, the corner we had ended up back with Given ...
-
I fucking hate Equatorial Guinea.
-
Now, over to you Mr. McLeish. What tactical gems have you in the locker after that brilliant decision.
-
AM has fucked this up with some shit substitutions and not sorting the defence out.
-
To recap, Senegal lost all 3 games in the African Nations Cup, but Villa cannot cope with their strikeforce even with our pampered overpaid central defenders.
-
Why the fuck is Heskey on. It completely ruins us.
-
Now, over to you Mr. McLeish. What tactical gems have you in the locker after that brilliant decision.
Heskey's on, he already laid his ace.
-
Spomeone tell Bannan he doesn't have to try a spectacular pass all the time
-
Why is it Villa always gives the other players a career boost.
Villa are fantastic at writing fairy tales for other teams. If you have a new striker, play Villa; if you have a striker who has been going through a rough patch, play Villa; if you've just been promoted, play Villa.
-
Aston 'lemming' Villa
-
Get Gardner on for Clark, I repeat.
-
Gardner for Clark please
wish CNZ was still on
-
This is fucking crap. Why when the game was cryin out for Gardner does he bring on Heskey? Why are we defending on our 6yard line!
-
BTW if that's true about Ireland and he forced the change when we were on top with his gob shitery then the little dick twitch deserves to be booed next time he steps on the pitch.
-
Without Nzogbia we have no chance of getting down the left. You have done yourself any favours there Mccleish.
-
If anyone could tell me why Bannan is so highly rated that would be appreciated! Cause I have seen nothing from him on a consistent basis other than I think he thinks He'a much much better than he actually is. Trying spectacular pass time and time again and no end result.
-
Gardner for Clark please
wish CNZ was still on
Gardener on for Heskey.
-
When all our chances have generally come from passing the ball, why do we hoof it when we get the chance????
-
Taking off N'Zog was a bad idea, maybe for Gardner but for Heskey come on AM.
-
How many clean sheets have we had this season? 3, 4? Absolutely dreadful not to at least tried to have brought a defender in.
-
When are we going to perform for 90 minutes? We only play for 45 minutes per game.
-
Why is it Villa always gives the other players a career boost.
Villa are fantastic at writing fairy tales for other teams. If you have a new striker, play Villa; if you have a striker who has been going through a rough patch, play Villa; if you've just been promoted, play Villa.
Don't forget if you haven't won away all season come on down to VP and we'll sort you out.
-
Warnock is a liability, Heskey is shit, Dunny is too fat and slow my oh my we are fucked.
-
Does Warnock consider his profession footballer?
-
It comes to something when you look at a team owned by Mike Ashley and managed by Alan Pardew and you think "I wish that was us".
-
Hollywood pass again from Bannan.
-
Bannan has been a major disappointment.
-
When are we going to perform for 90 minutes? We only play for 45 minutes per game.
Because we have a manager who can't manage.
-
Great strike but more woeful defending.
We've generally done okay today (ignoring the defence) and McLeish should take some credit for that but bringing Heskey on for NZogbia is illogical and exposes him to the Boo-boys. Every time he takes a step forward in my estimations he goes and messes it up.
Why is he so determined to make an already hard job virtually impossible?
-
The subs screwed us today. Totally.
He did well against QPR and Wolves with his decisions, but the manager has lost us this game.
-
FUCKING WARNOCK YOU ARE SHIT!!!
FUCKING HESKEY YOU ARE SHIT - FUCK OFF!!!
-
They are all at it, although Cueller kind of made amends.
-
Jesus Christ, more comedy defending. Utter rubbish.
-
we are a complete car crash in our own half....
-
Our threat has gone without Ireland and N'Zog. If Ireland isn't injured it was mental to take him off and bringing Heskey on for N'Zog was a terrible decision.
-
We've just died re pace and intensity ...
-
Hoof, Newcastle get the ball, Hoof, Newcastle get the ball, Hoof, Newcastle get the ball, Hoof, Newcastle get the ball, AM can you see that there is a pattern here.
-
If he did why would Ireland tell AM to fuck off?
-
If anyone could tell me why Bannan is so highly rated that would be appreciated! Cause I have seen nothing from him on a consistent basis other than I think he thinks He'a much much better than he actually is. Trying spectacular pass time and time again and no end result.
He's about 5% as good as he thinks he is at the moment. On similar lines I was down ashton gate yesterday and delph was largely anonymous against a 9 man lower-end championship team.
-
I still don't get the Heskey sub. What was the point? Really, what was the thinking behind it? AM finally gets his team to play some good football and then he does that. Why?
-
If he did why would Ireland tell AM to fuck off?
He knew Heskey would come on when he did?
-
Heskey is about as mobile as my ironing board. we are breaking forward and he is standing on the left wing looking on...
-
If he did why would Ireland tell AM to fuck off?
Maybe he's seen how we've been playing all season.
-
Why is it Villa always gives the other players a career boost.

Don't forget if you haven't won away all season come on down to VP and we'll sort you out.
Or generally, if a team needs a boost after going through a rough patch. They beat us, but then get soundly defeated again in their next game.
Do we get a payment for helping teams out like this?
-
Ah unlucky Clark.
-
Gardner on for Clark.
-
About 20 minutes too late
-
I still don't get the Heskey sub. What was the point? Really, what was the thinking behind it? AM finally gets his team to play some good football and then he does that. Why?
Because he is out of his depth and does not really know what he is doing?
-
Heskey is about as mobile as my ironing board. we are breaking forward and he is standing on the left wing looking on...
true... can't defend... can't attack... can't score... can't do box to box... can't even make a nuisance of himself anymore.... a baffling substitution that makes AM look like a buffoon.
-
I still don't get the Heskey sub. What was the point? Really, what was the thinking behind it? AM finally gets his team to play some good football and then he does that. Why?
McLeish is an enigma. Whenever I begin to think he's a good manager he ruins it by doing something stupid. But I know he's not a bad manager either, it's so frustrating. He doesn't realise what a big club he's had. Playing for a draw is not good enough at our level.
-
Chance for Gardner there.
-
Thought GG had scored there!
-
Great chance.
Oh, what a shock. We pass the ball and we create a chance.
Fucking do it more often!!!!!!!
-
For someone as technically adept as Bannan is, he's just not careful enough with his passing.
Can't see us getting back into this. No Albrighton or Gabby from the start, and we voluntarily took off Ireland and CNZ!!!
Keane played a lovely ball into Bent then and his touch was embarassing!!
Oh Gardner, what a chance!!!
-
Fucking hell Gards, come on. You're better than that.
-
The subs screwed us today. Totally.
He did well against QPR and Wolves with his decisions, but the manager has lost us this game.
We were getting torn a new one until Heskey came on. At least we're at the races now.
-
Stop hoofing it!!!
-
Shit - again, thought we'd scored.
-
Passing it again...and we create a chance...funny that.
-
Jammy bastards
-
Gardner making a huge difference, this guy has to start every week soon?
-

He's inconsistent and the team are a reflection of that. He did say he wanted to build a side in his image though, so there you are: its on the pitch now.
-
Thought Gardner had scored there.
-
Heskey stood looking on again, Villa are effectively down to 10 men.
-
Is this the worst defence we have ever had?
Surely Dunne is the worst and most pathetic CB that I have ever seen. Same for Warnock and Hutton as full backs.
-
Shit from Warnock again
-
Gardner has made a big difference and should have been on much much earlier.
-
Played well; BB and GG have both had a good influence.
-
How come we can only play football when we have fuck all to lose.
-
When we pass it we create chances,when we launch it we concede.
-
Newcastle likely to go level on points with Chelsea - dear me, the Premier League really is a pile of cack these days
-
Newcastle likely to go level on points with Chelsea - dear me, the Premier League really is a pile of cack these days
Which says so much about how badly run the Villa are at the moment.
-
Keystone fucking cops. Great stuff.
-
Dunne, twat.
-
Effing Warnock and Dunne are a comedy sometimes; forget Laurel and Hardy.
-
What do you think Heskey was told to do when he came on?
-
I have always said every villa side I have followed were mean at the back. We'd struggle for goals some seasons, but usually our strength was our defence. This lot, assembled since Laursen's retirement, are a disgrace. Individually, players liek Dunne can be quite good. But as a defensive unit they are disgrace and a liability.
-
Warnock and DUnne just class there.
-
Just piss off Dunne you lump.
-
Heskey, you are officially a useless ******.
-
ffs. dunne and warnock cant even get a throw in right
-
Heskeys best contribution of the match, getting his shirt pulled...
-
Well done mcleish you complete bell end.
-
All down to AM
-
Why change N'zogbia for Heskey, clueless, and what's the point of bringing Gardner on with only 7 minutes left, should have given him at least half an hour.
