Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Stevens, Westwood, Bannan, Ireland, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke
-
Subs: Given, Albrighton, Holman, Delph, El Ahmadi, Bowery, Williams.
-
As one would have predicted really, not too many other options apart from KEA
-
Come on you Villa boys, happy enough with that team.
-
Let's hope Enda Stevens is ready for this.
Come On You Lions, it's about time we did these f***ers.
-
MAN UTD: De Gea, Rafael, Evra, Smalling, Ferdinand, Carrick, Scholes, Valencia, Young, Van Persie, Rooney.
-
Subs: Anderson, Lindegaard, Hernandez, Welbeck, Cleverley, Fletcher, Buttner.
-
Let's hope Enda Stevens is ready for this.
Come On You Lions, it's about time we did these f***ers.
Hmmm, I think Stevens will be torn apart.
-
Well essentially he's the only left back we have left so no choice but to play him. Good luck to him.
-
The only way I can face this is to get tiddled and peep from behind the settee. Oh me of little faith.
-
This on any internet radio? or do they not stream on 5 live if its live on sky?
-
I take it Bent still has a poorly foot.
-
Happy he kept the same midfield as last week, worried about Stevens though!! COME ON YOU LIONNNNNNNNNNNNS!!!!!!
-
Let's hope Enda Stevens is ready for this.

Hmmm, I think Stevens will be torn apart.
I fear the same. There will be ten thousand pieces of Stevens floating across VP when the final whistle blows. Still hope springs eternal.
-
No defenders on the bench - and not many on the pitch Against the best strikeforce in the country. Scarey.
-
Feck me, we'd better hope we don't need to bring a defender on.
-
Or a striker.....

Derrick Williams (Operates either as a central defender or a left-back) and Bowery is a striker
-

Delph has been played as a full back, hasn't he?
Now before anyone says anything I now he isn't a defender and he'll get a yellow or red card!

Not very well though. Imagine him in defence with those attackers running at him? I'd rather have Hutton on the bench, which shows how thin we are defensively!
-
Good to see Westwood wasn't automatically dropped just because KEA's back from suspension. Lambo really does make them play for the shirt, great to see.
To be honest, it'll probably be the highlight of the day, that United line-up should go through us on a fair few occasions, but there's no harm in going for it.
-
Shocking decision by the worst referee in the premier league again in the arsenal game. NOT GOOD ENOUGH should be de-promoted to division 3 and loss his £100,000 salary!

Derrick Williams made a significant contribution to Villa's success in the reserve league and NextGen Series last term.
The Republic of Ireland U19 international's form also propelled him to the fringes of the first team.
In fact, Williams was named on the bench for Barclays Premier League games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Operating either as a central defender or a left-back, he appeared 20 times for the title-winning second string side as well as playing in all but one of Villa's matches in the new European NextGen tournament.
-
COME ON VILLA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate these f**kers
-
I'm gonna have kick off at about 9pm in my house. Need a few more drinks in me before i watch this one.
-
Taxi ordered half an hour ago still not turned up we'll be three nil down by the time we arrive.
-
If we win 6-0 we go into the top 12. Come on Villa!
-
Leeds 1 - 6 Watford. It's the little things that make life worthwhile.
-
I don't watch much football outside of Villa these days. I'd forgotten Young is at Utd, how has he done there?
-
He dives a lot I think.
Think Westwood and Bannan will be too lightweight tonight but at least we'll have a go with 3 strikers and Ireland on the pitch even if I expect Gaby and Weimann to play out wide and help the fullbacks.
-
I don't watch much football outside of Villa these days. I'd forgotten Young is at Utd, how has he done there?
Very good first season, mostly injured second season.

Thanks. Will be interesting to see the reaction he gets tonight.
-
I go for the 14th minute for the first time Young goes to ground easily and waves his arms around wanting the freekick.

I'd guess it'll be generally negative after his dive in the away game last year. First time we've played against him since then I think.
-
Come on you Villa boys do these manc bastards
-
I go for the 14th minute for the first time Young goes to ground easily and waves his arms around wanting the freekick.
The little look up to the ref. Followed by the inability to do anything but lie prostrate on the ground for thrity seconds. The slow getting up to his feet before he does the little skip/hop thing he does. Two minutes of a slight hobble before he is right as rain again and ready to take another dive. The predicatbility of it all was very funny when he played for us now its just fucking annoying.
-
Hopefully Vlarr will put Young into row z very early on

Ah yes, I forgot about that. Roundly booed from start to finish then!

That hobble of his annoyed me when he was with us. Get up, hobble and 30 seconds later be running full pelt.

The hobble! It's all flooding back. Hobble, rub shin, skip. Sprint.
-
Dwight Yorke is an awful pundit.
-
I'm surprisingly relaxed right now. I think it's because i'm not at the game and fully expect us to be twatted. If we dare take the lead i'll be straight into cardiac territory.

Same here!
-
Come on you Villa boys!
-
No one in our starting 11 is over 30. We're so going to be battered.
-
Come Villa, prove me wrong!
-
Take Gabby and Ireland out of this side and do we have 100 premier league starts between the rest?
-
Need to get Weimann & Gabby using their pace against Ferdinand. His lack of pace is a big weakness and we should exploit it.
-
Take Gabby and Ireland out of this side and do we have 100 premier league starts between the rest?
Doubt we have 50.
-
Who are those fucking shitheads shouting in the minutes silence?
-
There always has to be a few twats who can't keep quiet for 1 minute. Fucktards.
-
Who were the pricks gobbing off in the minute silence?
-
Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Villa fans in great voice
-
I am seriously considering switching off and just getting on with Sat with no football at all. Just not sure I want to go through being wound up for the next 90 minutes, not got the energy.
-
Disappointing to see Guzan going long every time already.
-
Funny how when they mention "the locals" booing Young they don't mention the dive as one of the main reasons.
-
My work-mate will be delighted to see that his neighbour Enda Stevens has started!
-
Need to do a bit better than that long ball to them. That's not good.
-
Where is the fucking urgency?
-
Haven't had much of the ball yet.
-
I'm really up for this here for some reason!
-
Surely that's a yellow?
-
Everyone calm down. Lets get our foot on the ball.
-
Great ball Bannan
-
That's better.
-
nice pressure
-
impressed so far
-
We've started more brightly than i'd expected. We don't look overawed. It has Ashley Young scoring/getting a dodgy pen written all over it though.
-
Oh Weimann so so poor.
-
What a waste. 3 on 2.
-
Ah Weimann. Fuck. Took too long.
-
Weimman waited way too late.
-
Had to pick one of those two out. We won't get many better breaks than that
-
I'm roaring at the TV!!!!
-
Terrible corner Bannan.
-
WTF was that Bannan?
-
what a waste of a corner
-
Ooof. Great ball & touch then. Impressed so far.
-
That may have been the worst corner ever. Still, other than that, very impressed so far.
-
Good start overall.
-
This Man Utd team can't defend for shit. If we can keep Rooney and Van Persie quiet, we can win this.
-
So much for me being relaxed. We've started well so now i'm getting worked up.
-
If we let them have this much of the ball they'll hurt us.
Good move, poor cross by Gabby
-
Great ball Ireland, Gabby should have shot.
-
Ireland's working his socks off.
-
Gabby should have gone alone then
-
Some goo d breaks. Need to make them count.
-
That may have been the worst corner ever. Still, other than that, very impressed so far.
In fairness, it's long been a sound tactic to pick out Scholes on the edge of the area. If he's playing for you.
Good ball that from Ireland. He's looked good so far.
-
Best 20 minutes we have had against United in 15 years.
-
What, only 30%.
-
Apart from the first few minutes we've been on top. So that can only mean one thing.
-
Interesting battle to see who has the least quality, our attack or their defence.
-
I'm guessing the Mancs didn't join in the 19th minute
-
Ash on Ash crime there
-
Best 20 minutes we have had against United in 15 years.
Didn't we slaughter them for most of the home game under Houllier? This is certainly good, though..
-
BBC Sport says "Stephen Ireland is rolling back the years as he cuts the defence apart with a great ball in behind Patrice Evra..."
Easy to forget he's only 26. He looks up for this one though.
-
Say it quietly, but our Enda hasn't done badly at all
-
Best 20 minutes we have had against United in 15 years.

We did. The tempo is great tonight though. Keep it going and we might get something from the game.
-
We are still just so utterly wank at set pieces
-
WTF ref?
-
Where was the foul then?
-
They look vulnerable at the back. With the players they have we will be vulnerable too, but we've looked good at the back so far.
-
Fuck off ref. Urgh
-
No foul, he just stumbled. Fucking fuck the fuck off.
-
Best 20 minutes we have had against United in 15 years.

Totally forgot that actually - fair point we were brilliant that day
-
The referee is a dick.
-
No foul, he just stumbled. Fucking fuck the fuck off.
The ref is getting more united by the passimg second. Scholes fell over then.
-
Well done Enda
-
From the 2 replays it didn't look as though Ireland touched gramps. Cheating tossers.
-
That's hideous ref. great challenge by Ireland
-
Good to see us getting stuck in physically. Let the fuckers know they're in a match...
-
Sorry this ref is a fucking crook
-
Sorry this ref is a fucking crook
You don't rate any refs ozz.
-
Fucking asshole ref, can see this game ending up again as we get 5 freekicks and manure gets 30.
-
Oh RVP is playing
-
I don't mind Webb.... the one last week was not too bad.
This one is a disgrace. And usually decent for us from memory. Not a friend as such, but not a crook as he is tonight.
-
How is Smalling playing without a number?
-
Great to see Enda playing so well and Ireland getting stuck in
-
We are being done a bit by the full backs overlapping
-
Irelands been the best player on the pitch so far
-
Ref again is a dick.
-
An in form, playing for the team NZogbia would fit in the role Weimann is trying to fill very nicely.
-
How is Smalling playing without a number?
Because he's their 13th man.
-
Great block then. They're getting on top more now. Missed chances and some shit reffing will be costly as usual.
-
How is Smalling playing without a number?
Crap.
-
Ref isn't giving us anything.
-
Weimann just went down the exact same way Scholes did. Scholes got a free kick. Weimann gives away a throw for his.
-
How the fuck is that not a foul!!!
He is bent.
-
That Scholes decision was so significant. It angers me how shit refs can be sometimes.... Apart from that, they can be beaten today. Come on Villa.
-
How is Smalling playing without a number?
Blood shirt.
-
good to see us harassing scholes, he's still quality but he's also about 60
-
That Scholes decision was so significant. It angers me how shit refs can be sometimes.... Apart from that, they can be beaten today. Come on Villa.
They can't when they have the ref bought before a ball is kicked.
-
Benteke pulled down, nothing.
-
Unlucky Ireland.
-
Weimann the weak link going forward at the moment.
-
That Scholes decision was so significant. It angers me how shit refs can be sometimes.... Apart from that, they can be beaten today. Come on Villa.
They can't when they have the ref bought before a ball is kicked.
Well they are a ref down atm.
-
Stevens has looked good so far. Weimann has been a bit wank.
-
Ireland looks hugely impressive tonight. You can tell he's got a quicker footballing brain than anyone else in our team.
-
Lowton and Ireland need passing to each other lessons.
-
I just know they are going to score a spawny goal before HT. Probably Van Persie via a deflection.
-
Finally!
-
Oh we have a freekick
-
I couldn't help myself then, even I let out a loud ironic cheer then when he gave us a freekick.
-
Amongst my Christmas wishes this year is a whipped in free kick or corner
-
Stan putting into perspective on Talkshite by pointing out we have 2 players in the team with any sort of Premier League experience - Ireland and Gabby
-
Just the final ball.
-
Nice play by Lowton
-
Not a great cross, but great fun down the right there!
-
Lowton is great. Fantastic work then.
30% possession seems a bit of a lie, mind.
-
Amongst my Christmas wishes this year is a whipped in free kick or corner
I griped about that after the Norwich game.
-
How the fuk can Villa only have 30% posession.
-
Lowton looks a player doesn't he, I think he and Benteke have definitely been the best of the new signings which probably isn't rocket science come to think of it!
-
Weimann has not had a good half here.
-
Amongst my Christmas wishes this year is a whipped in free kick or corner
I griped about that after the Norwich game.
Take lessons from Ajax who were great at that
-
Amongst my Christmas wishes this year is a whipped in free kick or corner

Have we scored from a corner since last year's nil return?
-

1, Albion
-
Finally a great cross and no bugger near it.

-
What a fucking goal!
-

I agree with that Richard, and I have to say Ashley Westwood has made a very good start to his career with us too.
YEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
-
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIANNN!!!
-
Wahoooooooooo!
-
YYYEESSSSSSSSSSS
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
What a fuckin goal
-
WEIMANNNNN!!!
-
Benteke is a complete monster
-
Benteke! Weimann! Dreamland!
-
I think I just had a small orgasm. Fuck me that was sexy.
-
Fantastic from Benteke and Weimann.
-
WELL deserved lads. Well deserved.
-
45 minutes of back to the wall sheer hell coming up now, to listen or not!!!??
-
HT what a way to end it!
-
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHH!
-
shit I almost had a heartattack!
-
Blimey !!!!!
-
45 minutes of back to the wall sheer hell coming up now, to listen or not!!!??
where you listening?
-
Not bad, eh chaps!
-
He's been due a goal! Probably his worst performance of the season so far, but perhaps our best, and Weimann gets the goal he's been due for weeks. Whatever happens, we can be proud of that first half.
-
Alright, I'm sold. Benteke is completely brilliant. Starting to love watching him play.
-
I think I just had a small orgasm. Fuck me that was sexy.
It might have been a little wee.
-
Great commentary on the goal by Stan on Talkshite......just a touch biased which makes a change in our favour!
-
Who needs Bent when we've got Benteke?
-
brilliant half! every player has been ace. Great work rate and discipline! fuck You Man U!
As my Man U mate just toted..smalling got bullied than. Benteke looks great!
-
Fuck, there is NO WAY my ticker is going to be able to withstand the next 45 minutes...
-
I'm surprisingly relaxed right now. I think it's because i'm not at the game and fully expect us to be twatted. If we dare take the lead i'll be straight into cardiac territory.
Ha! So much for being fucking relaxed. I'll be chain smoking now.
-
Benteke is worth a bloody fortune. Fortune. He will go for more than Milner and Young easily. Fucking beast of a footballer, and I really, really hope we hang onto him for more than a couple of seasons. Such a talented brute of a kid.
Lambert can spot a player can't he. Lowton, Vlaar and Benteke are all exceptional.
-
Benteke's play down the wing was sensational then. Shrugged off Smalling - and then made the right pass (something our other players failed to do earlier).
-
That new Ford ad. That's Hawkwind.
-
Weimann has not had a good half here.
Ahem.
(you were right though)
-
45 minutes of back to the wall sheer hell coming up now, to listen or not!!!??
where you listening?
Talkshite, quite good as Stan Collymore is so biased in our favour!
-
I think I just had a small orgasm. Fuck me that was sexy.
Me too, I'm actually shaking!!
-
Really good effort so far. Fantastic goal.
-
My considered half time analysis:
FUCK.
ING.
YES!!!!!
-
Benteke is worth a bloody fortune. Fortune. He will go for more than Milner and Young easily. Fucking beast of a footballer, and I really, really hope we hang onto him for more than a couple of seasons. Such a talented brute of a kid.

Agreed. Westwood very tidy too.
-
I celebrated with hands & feet in the air. Misses gave me a strange look.
-

Ha! So much for being fucking relaxed. I'll be chain smoking now.
Why oh why did I give up the fags?
Brilliant half, brilliant goal. We have a real player in Benteke.
-
And just think, there were a few people already writing Benteke off. The bloke looks a beast of a player. He could be a real world class player.
-
Very good half, enjoyed watching it and we deserve the goal. Considering its 11 v 12 we're doing very well. Ireland has played well.
-
He's been due a goal! Probably his worst performance of the season so far, but perhaps our best, and Weimann gets the goal he's been due for weeks. Whatever happens, we can be proud of that first half.
Weimann has been really poor. Until the moment he twatted the ball at Gabby and Gabby managed to duck, giving Ed De Goey no chance behind him.
-
Weimann was the only player who I thought was poor. Now I want his babies.
-
That first half performance even without the goal was the best i've seen for some time.
-
It's the hope that kills you!
-
We are starting to come of age, west wood and bannan been superb . Bent eke a power house and great goal by weinmann.
-
And just think, there were a few people already writing Benteke off. The bloke looks a beast of a player. He could be a real world class player.
I can't believe people wrote him off Pete, he is such an athlete that at his age he could become anything he wants. A lot of very big clubs will watch him and want him.
-
Oh for a clean sheet now.
-
And just think, there were a few people already writing Benteke off. The bloke looks a beast of a player. He could be a real world class player.
No wonder Lambert hung out for him through all the price kerfuffle at the time
-
Good half, but Fergie is going to give Kevin Friend one hell of a bollocking at half time. On one occassion he actually gave us two decisions on the trot! I expect Friend to pull out all of the stops in the 2nd half or else Howard Webb might come on
-
Another positive I sore the best cross since Ashley Young by Enda Stevens he's looked ok defensively but attacking very good crosser!
-
And just think, there were a few people already writing Benteke off. The bloke looks a beast of a player. He could be a real world class player.
As said on the thread for him, I can't see any flaw in his game, looks like an exceptional talent for his age, we've found a real gem in him.
-
It's the hope that kills you!
Yep, they will be level around the 60 minute mark and then some twat - take your pick - will get the winner for them in the last five minutes.....
-
Weimanns not been that bad. He's taken up good positions, and like everyone else he's worked really hard defensively. A couple of times particularly the 3 on 3, he's picked the wrong option or waited too long.
We've a lot to be proud of whatever happens here.
-
That new Ford ad. That's Hawkwind.
You know the world is about to end when The Mighty Hawkwind start doing TV ads!!
-
Oh fuck off Wilkins you Uncle Festa shaped twunt.
-
Wilkins you are full of shit, that is never ever a foul.
-
Has Smalling got up yet?
-
Played so well so far - benteke reminded me of withe in his pomp with some of those lay offs, superb goal - lets hope we can carry on from here , great for confidence!
-
And just think, there were a few people already writing Benteke off. The bloke looks a beast of a player. He could be a real world class player.

It shouldn't shock you in the least that some people wrote him off after 2 or 3 games. He's a young kid and he'll only get stronger and better.
The next 45 minutes will be an entirely different test and we need to keep our shape and discipline and most importantly take any chances that might come our way. We all know Man U have more gears and options off the bench. We need to stay very strong and keep going at them.
-
Smalling flew into Benteke and bounced off. Fuck off Wilkins, Smalling just found out how big and strong the big man is.
-
Oh fuck off Wilkins you Uncle Festa shaped twunt.
Don't watch it, you know any half time analysis of their lot will irritate the hell out of you!
-
Wilkins can go fuck himself. Shoulder to chest? Fuck off you dopey slaphead.
-
Dwight is supportive of Villa here.
-
Ray Wilkins is a fucking idiot. Calling Benteke on Smalling a foul.. because Rio obviously pushing Benteke was?
Fuck off.
-
Paul Lamberts celebration mirrored my own!
-
It shouldn't shock you in the least that some people wrote him off after 2 or 3 games. He's a young kid and he'll only get stronger and better.
To be fair, writing him off or proclaiming him to be this, that or the other after a handful of games is mental. All you can say is that he had a very shaky start but has got a lot better recently.
-
And just think, there were a few people already writing Benteke off. The bloke looks a beast of a player. He could be a real world class player.
I honestly thought we've signed a young Drogba here.
-
Ray Wilkins is a fucking idiot. Calling Benteke on Smalling a foul.. because Rio obviously pushing Benteke was?
Fuck off.
No mention of the Ireland "foul" on Scholes? just as contentions all evens out!
-
Smalling flew into Benteke and bounced off. Fuck off Wilkins, Smalling just found out how big and strong the big man is.
Smalling tried to barge into Benteke and bounced off him. And Wilkins with his "there might have been a foul" bollocks. And there may well not have been one when gramps fell over but you're quiet on that one aren't you.
Bollocks, I was hoping to be relaxed this evening i'm well worked up now.
-
Excellent display. Vlaar has been brilliant. And what a goal.
I picked a bad day to give up wanking.
-
Ray Wilkins shuda gone to Specsavers.
-

This type of measured, sensible comment makes me sick.
;-)
-

Fuck off.
Bloody idiot, Smalling tried to barge Benteke off the ball and bounced off him instead ;D
-
I can't believe anyone has questioned if that was a foul, if it had been any other player in our team smalling would've flattened them jumping in like that, can't punish Benteke for being built like a wall.

Bollocks, I was hoping to be relaxed this evening i'm well worked up now.
I know the feeling, was calm and relaxed but since the goal heart pounding - this is villa though and we've been here so many times - how I would love to win this game !
-
Young subbed.
-
They've brought that little lesbian on.
-
I feel sick.
-
Just don't make the mistake numerous Villa sides have in the past against this lot when winning. DON'T SIT BACK AND DEFEND DEEPER AND DEEPER.
-
I feel sick.
So perfectly normal then
-
Commentator on WM....."Villa need to concentrate for the full 55 mins of the second half."
-
Commentator on WM....."Villa need to concentrate for the full 55 mins of the second half."
He's very correct
-
Keep the composure
-
Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant!!!!!!
-
Get the fuck in
-
fuck me
-
Oh my fuycking god
-
get the fuck in
-
This is some kind of alternative universe.
-
Fuck me. 2-0. Gabby-Weimann-Blam.
-
WEIMANN!
-
Fantastic measured goal as well.
-
Fuck me, Fuck me, Fuck me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
WTF is going on?
-
This happened two seasons ago. We need to keep at this lot
-
Wow. Well, we've been here before (the goal even looked similar to Albrighton's under GH!), but how encouraging!
-
WTF?
-
Come on Villa. Oh to dream.
-
really good goal, the step over from benteke was very clever and then gabby's ball across was superb.
-
Weak leak?! Andi Weimann? No no no. ;)
-
2 up at home to this lot. Never been here before. Please Villa, win just to spite me as i'm not there.
-
I can't ******* believe it. We're doomed now.
-
Holy shit. Ho. Lee. Shit.
Please hold on, lads!
-
The world has ever seen and its Aston Villa Aston Villa fc
-
Oh my god!
-
I love the fact that, whatever the situation, Gabby always has a look on his face as if someone has just asked him for some tartan paint.
-
It was a fantastic goal. Brilliant from Westwood, Benteke, Ireland, Gabby and Weimann.
-
I really feel sick now.
-
We'll only lose it 3-2 now which is some consolation....
-
Just tuned in and I see that we are two goals up....am I dreaming?!
-
Please Please Villa do this do this
-
..and its Aston villa ,Aston villa fc ..... ;)))
-
Great to see this
-
Just tuned in and I see that we are two goals up....am I dreaming?!
We're all dreaming mate.
-
I actually feel as nervous as I would before an important interview
-
Cheetham Hill shoplifter being followed around by a psychotic store detective. Mr Scoles prepares himself for another red card.
-
How much fergie time i wonder
-
Lily Savage: "Villa 2-0! Are they going down? Ha ha ha!"
Eat your words, ya shaggy twat!
-
Bent villa career based ontoday is well and truly fucked
-
Lily Savage: "Villa 2-0! Are they going down? Ha ha ha!"
Eat your words, ya shaggy twat!
I shouldn't tempt fate just yet...
-
Glad I chose to go to Norwich instead of this game...
Still, think we need a 3rd (maybe a 4th). Please prove me wrong Villa!
-
Whooo Hoooo! Bye Bye Bent!!
-
Bent villa career based ontoday is well and truly fucked
Sell him, and use the money on a new contract for Benteke.
-
Daft yellow for Ireland, really hope it's not costly.
-
Mmmm heads over to betfair learning from past mistakes of these opportunities
-
I love the fact that, whatever the situation, Gabby always has a look on his face as if someone has just asked him for some tartan paint.
That's why he's so good in big games, he's ice cold.
-
Think I may turn it off actually, can't cope with the hope
-
shit
-
And so it begins.
-
For fucks sake, terrible terrible goal to concede.
-
Fuck here we go 2-1
-
Fuck. Here we go.
-
Fucking long ball
Stevens played him on
-
Here we go.
-
Never a foul, we switched off and he shouldn't have been allowed to score from there. Disappointing.
-
shite!
-
shit
-
FUCK. RIGHT. OFF.
-
We'll only lose it 3-2 now which is some consolation....
And here we go!
-
we can get a third ..come on
-
Come on Villa do us proud
-
We need to kep attacking 'em. Their defence is nowhere near as good as their attack...
-
I'm back into relaxed mode now as i'm convinced we'll fuck it up now.
-
I think i would gladly give away 30 minutes of my life right now
-
God dammit. Why always the same? Settle for a point now I guess.
-
fucking fergie with his watch again
-
Glad I got to Betfair before Hernandez scored.
-
Fergie tapping his watch already the ******.
-
We need to kep attacking 'em. Their defence is nowhere near as good as their attack...
Neither is ours!
-
God dammit. Why always the same? Settle for a point now I guess.
Never. We can do this.
-
I'm finding it difficult to breathe
-
Come on Villa, let's have a third. Their defence is shit.
-
Again Were by by far the greatest the world has ever seen and its Aston Villa
-
keep the heads up . we can do this
-
Somebody tell me everything is gonna be alright.
-
Jammy little git. His first touch was shite.
-
we still look dangerous
-
Such a brilliant finish, but the miss control was what allowed him to score which is unlucky
-
Somebody tell me everything is gonna be alright.
Put your slippers on. I had some reggae reggae chicken at half time, on the QT.
-
FUUUUUUUCCK
-
We'll only lose it 3-2 now which is some consolation....
And here we go!
Hmmmm...
-
Fuck off. Fucking Hernandez.
-
ffs cnut
-
FUCKING BASTARDS
-
bollox
-
Gabby went to sleep there. We're never going to beat these ****** at home are we?
-
There's a fucking shock. 2 lapses and all the good work is pissed away.
-
Bannan fluffed a clearance. Bang. 2-2.
-
fucking hell.
-
fucking OG really
-
Gabby switched off on Rafael.
-
Always against United - always
Fergie has a Villa voodoo doll that buggers us completely.
-
Bastards Bastards
-
I dream of a Villa team that aren't a bunch of spineless ******.
-
Literally every time.
-
This is fucking horrible.
-
oh well
-
Right. I'm off to do something useful. Throw it away again FFS!!!
-
Subs on please Paul....need to break the game up
And to think I was looking forward to MOTD as well...
-
Both goals totally spawny.
-
I hate them so much.
-
never in doubt was it
-
The one plus is that they didn't wait until the last 10 minutes this time. That kills me even more.
-
You know though, we have shown this formation works.
Hernandez is a brilliant forward.
-
motherfucking fucking fucks! I hate those fucks. 2 lucky goals.
-
Fuck me. We look like we've lost the plot
-
Need to calm it down a bit here and get back to what we were doing so well in the first half.
-
We've still played really well
-
Fucking great save from De Gea from Weimann
-
Fuck me. what a save. Unlucky Weimann
-
fuck weiman nearly hatrick
-
unlucky weimann, we can still win this
-
Weimann almost
-
Oh Andy should have scored.
-
What a save. Fuuuck.
-
We've still played really well
Yep, and Weimann is some striker, almost scored again, he needs a run in the team, a lot of positives
-
least we proved to the tossers we aint going down
-
Spineless well done Villa what ever the result you are back to being ours, spineless never
-
And we are still geting forward. We might lose the next 3, but at least we have shown that we have a side that could grow into something pretty impressive.
-
Yard or two either side and that's hattrick.
-
To be fair, it's still exciting to behold the young team going forward, as long as we take something out of this game, hopefully at least a point and the feeling that we have some decent players, better than against Norwich. I'm off out now anyway and think it's prob for the best!
-
You know though, we have shown this formation works.
Hernandez is a brilliant forward.
Indeed, we were deservedly 2 up against possibly the best side in the country. I hope they, and we, focus on that more than throwing it away.
And we should have been back in front again.
-
great ball in by bannan, unlucky for andi.
-
we scored two great goals , they scored two spawny fookers
-
least we proved to the tossers we aint going down
Have we fuck. We thought that against Swansea, fuck knows how we'll be playing in 5 minutes time, never mind in March.
-
Maybe harsh but Stevens is the weak link in the team
-
Don't think it's fair calling the lads spineless.
-
What they doing?? Bring back Bent!! Noooo!
-
Maybe harsh but Stevens is the weak link in the team
His first league start and he was excellent first half.
-
Whatever happens I for one am proud.
-
Even if we lose though, there is enough to take this and be pretty pleased at where we are headed.
Remember how we "played" the top sides last season apart from Chelsea away
-
Now would be a great time for a goal from a corner.
ETA. In fact any time this century.
-
just wont fall for us but we look good
-
Don't think it's fair calling the lads spineless.
Agreed. The way they've kept attacking United after the comeback has been ballsy.
-
Come on Villa.
-
Finally a whipped in corner and no one there. And if that had been a manc with that shot you can guarantee the spawny bastards would have had it deflect perfectly.
-
bit of luck at last
-
Let off then.
-
Right. Stroke of luck there. Let's keep attacking cos we can get another.
-
Finally a whipped in corner and no one there. And if that had been a manc with that shot you can guarantee the spawny bastards would have had it deflect perfectly.
Just needed a touch.
That is the great thing, we have still gone at them. No shot in this fixture last season wasn't it??
We have come a long way despite the league position.
-
And again.
-
Turn away for five minutes, come back and it's 2-2. I know I'm not dreaming anymore...it's Villa alright.
-
Alan Partridge: "And another!"
-
Off the bar twice. fuck me
-
RVP a bit good too.
-
bloody nora
-
ireland looks fucked
-
How much did our team cost, and how much did theirs cost? Fuck it, they should be caning us by rights.
I'm proud of the lads no matter what. And proud of Lambert too. He's sent 'em out to have a right go. Such a fantastic change from last season.
-
Who have we got on the bench?
-
Holman for Ireland as he looked knackered?
-
A point would be ok now.
-
Ireland just not in the game this half, he was such an influence in the first.
-
Who have we got on the bench?
Subs: Given, Albrighton, Holman, Delph, El Ahmadi, Bowery, Williams.
-
We can still get at them on the break with our 3 forwards. Just need our luck to hold at the back
-
Holman for Ireland would make sense. New energy in the midfield. Then KEA on for one of the two CMs.
-
It sounds great. We have tremendous potential. Just convert another one and don't do the last 5min trick!
-
Yeah Ireland looks done
-
Arsenal will be worried at least ;)
-
Still need a stronger midfielder than Bannan despite him doing well again tomorrow for me.
And Stevens looks inexperienced.Steps up at 2-0 and Hernandez is offside, and the rest may never have happened.
-
Benteke is a fcking bad ass
-
Passing has disimproved considerably.
-
Fergie has given the limp out wink to Rooney
-
Who have we got on the bench?
Subs: Given, Albrighton, Holman, Delph, El Ahmadi, Bowery, Williams.
Cheers PWS. Get Ireland off, for Holman.
-
If the wankers are going to win I wish they'd score soon. The later they leave it the more it will suck.
-
Need some legs in midfield now
-
If the wankers are going to win I wish they'd score soon. The later they leave it the more it will suck.
Correct.
-
I don't think little Enda's done too bad, all things considered.
-
Right on KEA.
-
Westwood is going to be a regular from now
-
I would get Delph, El Ahmadi and Albrighton on for Bannan, Ireland and Weimann now. All three look knackered
-
KEA on for Ireland
-
I don't think little Enda's done too bad, all things considered.
ditto
-
Ron Vlaar. Unlucky or hapless?
-
Benteke has such good control
-
Holman and KEA on to shore things up?
Or Bowery for something leftfield.
-
Well played Andreas.
-
Well done Andi
-
Forgot about Holman!!
Yes him over Albrighton, good call Paul, just keeping you on your toes.
-
Ron Vlaar. Unlucky or hapless?
Bit of both. He's got the air of Richard Dunne about him, as well as he plays, you know he's going to drop a bollock fairly soon.
-
well done Andreas!
-
We're going to nick another goal. I can feel it.
-
good subs
-
Looks like we're going to try to keep it tight for the draw. Weimann was absolutely brilliant, I've said for ages now that he's going to be immense for us.
-
Benteke has such good control
And he also has a certain swagger about him that kind of says "I deserve to be here", which I quite like about him. Ashley Westwood also seems possessed of this, which I think bodes well and marks them out as different to some of our own young players over the last year or two.
-

You are Mazrim and I claim my free cupcake.
-

He was shit for 40 minutes, then was awesome for half an hour or so
As for Vlaar - unlucky, he is a very good player.
-

I saw him play for Austria U19s against England in Normandy, of all places, and he was the best player on the pitch by a country mile. He's got a natural footballing brain.
-
Bannan has worked his bollocks off and I am not normally a fan another one that has bought into PL's workrate
-

Only takes a second to score.
COme on 3-2 villa, I can feel it.
-
One of the worst things about blowing it yet against them will be Fergie patronising us. I used to love it in the mid 90s when we would go up there and got a 0-0 and he'd whinge about us endlessly.

Dunno why, but I've got that feeling too. Gabby in Fergie time...

I think Lowton, Westwood, Benteke and Guzan have that of the ones signed in the summer. Clark, Bannan and Weimann are growing into the home grown role well.
-
He's got a natural footballing brain.
I dunno about that; he totally nawsed up that 3-on-3 in the first half. He's a tireless worker though and he can finish well which will do for me.
-
Next goal wins.
-
What the feck was that then El Ahmadi!? Control!
-
yellow card Delph on
-
Bannans been great today
-
Well basically the subs I would have made
-
And there you go.
-
You just knew it
-
Feck
-
******
-
I give up.
-
ffffffuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
gutted
-
by now
-
And there it is. 87th minute. Fucking wankers.
-
Delph on. uh oh, this could get ... interesting.
-
Someone kick me in the balls and we'll call this a perfect day.
We need to get some experienced defenders in come January.
-
kEA giving a free kick away didnt fooking help
-
Shades of that cup game where Solskjaer came on and changed the game. We don't deserve that. Prepare for the sheer nausea of a United wankfest.
-
You juicy bastards we dont deserve that
-
A team of bottlers. Every fucking time.
-
Fucking jammy bastards
-
Blame Delph!
-
As I said, 3-2 and no joy at all in being right
MOTD definitely off the list now...I can't to watch those twats coming back from two down
-
Lots of positives to take but it breaks yer fucking heart.
-
Meh...the obligatory last 2 minutes winner at Villa Park
-
A team of bottlers. Every fucking time.
Yes
-
AVFC - still a joke.
-
Fucking Twaterito.
-
Blame Delph!
Pay him off. He's dreadful.
-
Lots of positives to take but it breaks yer fucking heart.
Aye.
-
A team of bottlers. Every fucking time.
It's not a question of bottle. It's inexperience. The crowd have been at more Premier League games than most of our team.
-
Much positive to take from the game, but naivety of youth has cost us more than anything this time.
-
Bollocks are we a joke. Take Gabby and Ireland out of that side and there's barely 50 PL appearances. I'm fucking proud of how we played tonight. Really fucking proud.
-
Oh and fucking awful control from KEA when we had the bloody ball.
-
Bunch of fucking losers.
-
A team of bottlers. Every fucking time.
Yes
That's complete bollocks. They bought a superb player off the bench. We don't have those luxuries. That's the difference. Quality.
-
Bunch of fucking losers.
We're all upset mate but that's a bit strong.
-
Just knew it. Why bother.
-
A team of bottlers. Every fucking time.
Yes
That's complete bollocks. They bought a superb player off the bench. We don't have those luxuries. That's the difference. Quality.
Aye again.
-
I wouldn't even blame it on the naivety of youth. The first goal the ball got caught under his feet and he was lucky to get a shot off, the second was a lucky deflection. the third is shite marking.
-
How the fuck are they so fit? They're running around like Duracell fucking bunnies in the 90th minute.
-
Bollocks are we a joke. Take Gabby and Ireland out of that side and there's barely 50 PL appearances. I'm fucking proud of how we played tonight. Really fucking proud.
Exactly, Collymore made exactly that point on Talkshite. We have a lot to be proud of tonight and this is a much longer end game for us. And we have hardly lost any ground on anyone today around us
-
Bollocks are we a joke. Take Gabby and Ireland out of that side and there's barely 50 PL appearances. I'm fucking proud of how we played tonight. Really fucking proud.
Too right. We don't deserve to be losing this.
-
I'm not sure I would have brought KEA on but he didn't have much choice. They'd all been pressing so hard everyone was poonered.
-
sickening. a point would have been valuable. just like the far cup game
-
Oh and fucking awful control from KEA when we had the bloody ball.
exactly ..useless
-
Bunch of fucking losers.
You sir are deserving of a severe twatting.
-
How the fuck are they so fit? They're running around like Duracell fucking bunnies in the 90th minute.
Because they use the ball so well and don't chase after it
-
Yeah I bet the same people blaming inexperience now said the same thing when we bottled it two years ago. To work so hard to earn a two goal lead and then let it slip like like that...relegation written all over it.
-
Still going forward. Fair play to them.
-
Hernandez ponce of the match
-
Bunch of fucking losers.
You sir are deserving of a severe twatting.
I agree
-
Bunch of fucking losers.
We're all upset mate but that's a bit strong.
Not really. It's as inherent in our club over the years as it has been for Man U to come back and win games. Different managers, different players but same old Villa. Bunch of bottles. Zero winning mentality. It's genetic.
-
fookin handball there
-
Let's get John Mensah in. Big gamble but could be a new Laursen.
-
Bunch of fucking losers.
You sir are deserving of a severe twatting.
I agree
What a fine argument lads.
-
Bunch of fucking losers.

Ahem.
IT'S MANCHESTER FECKING UNITED. Give the lads a break!
-
I thought we defended ok , lucky two goals for them and then KEA giving FK away after losing ball.
-
That's that
-
Sorry but this side are still going forward. Last season we took it up the arse for 90 minutes against all the "top sides". This we are giving it a go. We will not go down I a sure of that. To call us losers on this display is ridiculous.
-
Oh well, onwards and, erm, upwards! We gave it a good go...
-
Bunch of fucking losers.

He has a point. Change the manager, the players...spend bugger all money or as much as you like. The result stays the same.
-
should you ever loose a 2-0 lead at home regardless of the oposition?
-

Plus they are actually the losers I think you'll find ;)

Why the fuck didn't de Gea get a yellow card for time wasting at the end
-
Bunch of fucking losers.

Wrong. We can't hold leads against many many teams. Not just Man U. It all started with Stoke at home under O'neill.
-
I just went outside and threw a flower pot at the hedge.
It feels a bit better.
-
the hedge does ? or the flower pot does ?
-
the hedge does ? or the flower pot does ?
My psycho-moment made me feel better!
-
just got back, to gutted to comment on the game, just seeking a bit of solace from my fellow Villans. I get the feeling it's actually worse if you're not there as the goals go in ,at least you're watching in real time and not relying on some 3rd party supplying the bad news.I feel for you ! Still don't understand people leaving with 10 minutes to go though.
