Available Tuesday afternoon.

@AVFCOfficial: #AVFC: Guzan, Lowton, Clark [c], Bennett, Herd, Weimann, Delph, Stevens, Westwood, Benteke, Albrighton. #AVFCLIVE
-
Is it a 4-4-2 with Bennett and Albirghton wide right and left?
-
We're in trouble, big trouble. However come on you Villa boys.
-
Wow, is that the youngest team ever? Guzan aside is everyone under 24?
-
Is it a 4-4-2 with Bennett and Albirghton wide right and left?
That looks more 4-5-1.Better balance in midfeild if nothing else.
-
Pleased to see the return of Westwood.
-
@AVFCOfficial: #AVFC subs: Given, Ireland, Holman, Bowery, Bannan, Lichaj. #AVFCLIVE

Can't see a 4-5-1 there??
-
Guessing this again lowers our youngest team record?
-
@AVFCOfficial: #AVFC subs: Given, Ireland, Holman, Bowery, Bannan, Lichaj. #AVFCLIVE
Only 6?
-
Happy with that selection with the players we have available.

Weimann playing just behind the big fella in a funny shaped diamond.

Message to Randy ?
-
6 subs? Why no Carruthers or some other youngster?
-
So is herd playing midfield , or Bennett?
-
I'd guess 4-2-3-1 with Bennett left, Weimann central and Albrighton wide right - doesn't seem to fit any other way (unless Weimann's up front with Benteke) with Stevens and Bennett in the team.
-
So is herd playing midfield , or Bennett?
I would guess Herd just in front of the defence.
-
Michu's fit for them apparently.
-
@AVFCOfficial: #AVFC subs: Given, Ireland, Holman, Bowery, Bannan, Lichaj. #AVFCLIVE
Only 6?
PLUS Carruthers
-
Michu's fit for them apparently.
Of course he is
-
No need to worry about Mich.
Just transferred him into my fantasy football team. Guarantees a shocker lol
-
Wow, is that the youngest team ever? Guzan aside is everyone under 24?
It's arguably one of the worst. Albrighton AND Delph? Jesus christ.
-
Worried
-
I presume it's essentially 442, with herd at cb. Unless he's asking either Bennett or Stevens to play right wing back?! But I assume not, especially as albrighton will presumably play wide right.
-
I think Holman must be a bit knackered - his energy at least would be useful against Swansea, it was last time. Delph will have to get through a lot of work.
-
Why did he pick Ireland, Bannan and Homan on Saturday then drop them all today? Constant chopping and changing. No wonder the players have no clue about their roles. Albrighton and Delph were terrible in the last match they started together.
-
His options are very limited, but that's a scarey looking team.
-
So is herd playing midfield , or Bennett?
I'd guess Herd is partnering CC in a flat 4. Bennett left MF. No KEA on the bench?
Albie owes us a big performance today.
-
That's not a team that fills me with confidence.....
I'd guess it's a 4-4-2;
Guzan
Lowton Herd Clark Stephens
Albrighton Westwood Delph Bennett
Benteke Weimann
-
Odd team selection again , will probably have to wait and see who plays where but seems unbalanced .
-
That looks a really weak team - Clark the only CB in the squad. Guess he'll play Albrighton and Bennett wide in midfield to protect the full backs, and Benteke up top on his own. Very worried now.
-
His options are very limited, but that's a scarey looking team.
I struggle to think of a worse Villa team. Bennett, Stevens, Albrighton and Delph are all way below Premier League standard. I think our humiliating run may go on for a while yet.
-
Has Bennett ever played in midfield before? I would have tried Carruthers rather than albrighton , he's more direct and more confident.
-
Pleased to see the return of Westwood.
Agreed, we sorely missed his ball retention and genuine fight against Wigan.
-
Bennett and Stevens wing backs, Delph and Westwood centre mid.
Team looks poor. Ireland still can't get into it.
-
Bennet and Stevens wing backs, Delph and Westwood centre mid.
Both left sided though, not sure if they have ever played right wing back.
-
I struggle to think of a worse Villa team. Bennett, Stevens, Albrighton and Delph are all way below Premier League standard. I think our humiliating run may go on for a while yet.
I think the trend was always going to continue today, regardless of the first XI picked. Hope I'm wrong.
-

It's arguably one of the worst. Albrighton AND Delph? Jesus christ.
You haven't been following Villa for long if you think that's the worst teams we've fielded.
Given the options available, I thinks it's as good as could expect.
4-4-1-1
-
now that is a young and leaderless team if ever i saw one. could be messy today. id prefer a standard 4-5-1 and play for a point
-

Me too, looks bloody awful. I am expecting another absolute tonking

4-4-1-1
I've been following Villa for nigh on 45 years that I can remember (I'm 51) and that looks as bad as any team I can remember and on a par with some of the 86 vintage
-

KEA has gone off to the ACN apparently. Put your tin hats on, this isn't going to be pretty!
-
It's definitely another young team, I have no idea if it's the youngest we've put out this season. The average is 23.34.
09/09/1984 Guzan 28.33
09/06/1989 Lowton 23.58
26/09/1989 Clark 23.28
28/03/1990 Bennett 22.78
04/04/1989 Herd 23.76
05/08/1991 Weimann 21.42
21/11/1989 Delph 23.13
09/07/1990 Stevens 22.50
01/04/1990 Westwood 22.77
03/12/1990 Benteke 22.10
18/11/1989 Albrighton 23.14

I've been following Villa for over 30 years. Go on then, name a worse team in that time.
-
Very worried

Absolutely agree, I guess there might be a one off instance or two just based on the law of averages but it is difficult to think of a worse team than the one put out today
-
Bugger
-
Guzan
Lowton Herd Clark
Bennett Stevens
Westwood Delph
Albrighton Weimann
Benteke
Nope, any way I try it on, that team looks pretty damn poor.
-

Let's hope Swansea have an off-day and we can keep it to below 3! Albrighton is awful.
-
Guzan
Lowton Herd Clark
Bennett Stevens
Westwood Delph
Albrighton Weimann
Benteke
Nope, any way I try it on, that team looks pretty damn poor.
I think that's unfortunately how we will line up, and the result will be similar to the last three games.

err ... the one that played on Saturday? Though I agree there's not much in it.
-
I can't immediately think of one I have to say, though I imagine we put out some pretty crap teams under gt mark 2 and dol. I'd agree that herd, albrighton, delph, Bennett and Stevens may all not be premier league quality at the moment
-
And Michu is a definite starter just to add to the good news oozing from every Villa related pore these days...
-
On current form it looks terrible, but that's because on current form we're a bit of a rabble.
There's potntial there, and not many alternatives, so let's hope they confound us. It'll take massive performances by the likes of Clark, Westwood and Benteke.
-
The dramatic in me wants to say that this is Lambert's statement to Lerner to force a surge of funds for the coming month.
-
i thought KEA was rested on sat and now he's off to Africa! he should havecstarted on sat
-

I was hoping Jesus Christ was the missing sub, because we could do with him using divine intervention to guide some of Albrighton's crosses to Benteke.
-
Guzan
Lowton Herd Clark
Bennett Stevens
Westwood Delph
Albrighton Weimann
Benteke
Nope, any way I try it on, that team looks pretty damn poor.
I think that's unfortunately how we will line up, and the result will be similar to the last three games.
I sincerely hope he goes flat 4 at the back and uses Bennett as a left MF; it'd be good to see us with a genuine left-footer on the left wing.
-
Buckle up everyone. Could be a long afternoon. That or we'll miraculously snap out of our funk and win this leaving us all massively bewildered.
-
And Michu is a definite starter just to add to the good news oozing from every Villa related pore these days...
We just have to hope he's short of top performance, because he looks capable of ripping through our team quite easily when he's on song.
In fact, Swansea generally look quite assured, with plenty of movement and no shortage of passing ability. I doubt we'll come out of this one too well.
-
I can't lose hope before a ball's been kicked but I'm not overflowing with confidence either. If we can avoid conceding early hopefully they'll grow into the game like they did at Anfield. I'm expecting Swansea to come out all guns blazing and *hoping* we catch them with a sucker punch on the counter followed by one of the most nervous afternoons in recent memory.

I think that's probably what I would do if I were the manager today.
Edit: The flat back four option, I mean.
-
As bad as the team appears, this now comes down to the manager and his ability to organise them, keep them disciplined and try and motivate them.
They need to fight and battle, not give up and show some fucking pride.
They are still representing Aston Villa, and they bloody well better remember that !!
C'Mon Villa!!
-
Buckle up everyone. Could be a long afternoon. That or we'll miraculously snap out of our funk and win this leaving us all massively bewildered.
My predictions are usually crap, so I'm going to say Delph and Albrighton will have a stinker, and that we'll lose 3-0. They should therefore, both score in a 2-0 win. I just hope PWS has got his Admiral's Pie in the oven....
-
Getting to ten minutes without conceding will be quite an achievement in itself I think....this is what it has come to. Against Swansea as well. Just imagine that team away to Man Utd or even an off key Man City, I seriously think you might be looking at double figures
-
We'll get at least a point today. Probably all 3. Come on you Cubs!
-
Who's on the bench?
-
Guzan
Lowton Herd Clark
Bennett Stevens
Westwood Delph
Albrighton Weimann
Benteke
Nope, any way I try it on, that team looks pretty damn poor.
Can't see Bennett playing on the right - think he'll play Stevens at LB with Bennett in front of him and Albrighton in front of Lowton, Delph and Westwood in centre mid, and Weimann behind Benteke. Guess we'll find out in 15 minutes!
-
A small crumb of consolation is that Wigan and Soton are at home to Man U and Arsenal respectively. And Reading are away at Spurs.
So if we can somehow wangle a point today it may see us move up a bit.
-

The magic pie is no more after Chelsea.
-
I'm starting to feel like getting to ten minutes before kick-off without conceding is an achievement at the moment!
-
Who's on the bench?
subs: Given, Ireland, Holman, Bowery, Bannan, Lichaj.
And although not announced supposedly Carruthers is as well.
-
I think we're going to get an absolute pasting but hopefully we won't.
-

Absolutely right. Can't see any of them getting anything out of their respective matches so hopefully we can pull away with something/anything from this game.
Please score first.
-
I'm glad that I'm up an Alp instead of in South Wales
-
Anyone know if we are a commentary match on the radio?
-
I think Bennett has good skill and at the moment, looks better going forward than as part of a defensive unit.
Good luck to the lad. He stopped his car on the way into Villa Park, just before the Swansea home game in September, just to have a chat with my dad, who drunkenly shouted, good luck Joey boy. To his credit, he was friendly, was really chuffed about playing for Villa and talked until security had a word with him to drive into the players car park. It made my dads day.
I hope he goes onto be an excellent player. Good luck today Villa, I think we'll win 3-2 and it will be a nervy but enjoyable afternoon! up the villa, Albrighton to score.

In the 89th minute....we might just be able to hang on then
-
What a shit line-up. We are like a man who, having just taken a series of massive punches in the face from a guy twice his size and weight, staggers back, reaches into his pocket, and pulls out...a miniature water pistol. With a crack in it. And no water.
-
Oh god, it's nearly time to kick off.
-
I'm glad that I'm up an Alp instead of in South Wales
Where are you exactly?

That is the first time I have laughed today.haha. My hangover is wearing off.
Cheers for that mate
-
We need some players to get the fuck back from injury and we also need some serious reinforcements.
-
Anyone know if we are a commentary match on the radio?
Aha, appears we are on WM.
-
At least I had the consolation of watching all three Xmas games in NYC, so when the agony was over I could do cool stuff. Back home watching a dodgy live stream on a windy and grey Isle of Man is quite depressing.
-
Oh god, it's nearly time to kick off.
Five minutes to go, are we behind yet?
-
don't mention the 's' word !!
-
We need a miracle here.
-
I'm glad that I'm up an Alp instead of in South Wales

Plagne Villages, 2155m up
-
Whatever happened to the Orange Dot?
-
If there was anything better than Mary popping on tv I'd have switched off the bbc red button. Not looking forward to this. One bit.

Haha brilliant
-
It might be returning.
-
Some of the Swansea mascots look bigger and more menacing than Joe Bennett.
-
Do you think we can get the League to abandon the match before it starts on the basis that its no contest? It's like Mr Muscle in the boxing ring with Mike Tyson.
-
If we lose I'm going to throw my Premieradlive subscription at Lambert in disgust!
-
I have neglected the dot for years.
Could be time for a return...
(http://www.muralsforkids.com/product_images/e/201/Dots_Orange_12_inch__42514_zoom.jpg)
Stare at the dot... visualize a Villa victory. Only if you truly believe and see it happening will it come to pass... etc.
Do it. Have faith.

Plagne Villages, 2155m up
Very nice - was there in the last two seasons. Off to Les Arcs on Thursday for two weeks.
-
Large glass of advocaat poured, settling down to watch the game , catch u at half time - lets hope all goes well!
-
Is Carruthers on the bench as still only 6 subs listed on Villa Facebook?
-
Come on you Villa boys!!
-
Is that correct, we turned Michu down in the summer? So much for Lambert's talent spotting abilities.
-
Still 0-0!
-
Let the bloodletting commmence...
Fuck we are such masochists.
-
We've had a shot/cross
-
1-2 win for us today...
Would be happy with a point but I have a feeling we will steal this...
Happy New Year Everyone :-)
-
5-0 to Swansea I reckon.
Can we buy a new physio in the transfer window?
-
Strange team, odd balance. Worrying that Lambert is starting to panic, changing shspe too often in search of answers. Here goes...
-
Is Carruthers on the bench as still only 6 subs listed on Villa Facebook?
Yes
-
Still 0-0 and no yellow card for Delph and we've played two minutes! I'm celebrating.
-
Is that correct, we turned Michu down in the summer? So much for Lambert's talent spotting abilities.
That's a petty and invalid argument if ever I saw one.
-
Is Carruthers on the bench as still only 6 subs listed on Villa Facebook?
Yes
Ta muchly.
-
I reckon Michael Laudrup would improve our side even at 48.
-
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuzan.
-
Jesus
-
Fick me that was close. It won't be long now
-
Christ almighty. Almost goal of the season from Routledge.
-
We are shit. Something major has to change.
-
Almost 1 down - saved by 'Guzman' according to the commentator
-
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuzan.
Has he scored ?
-
Should be 1-0. Great save from 'Guzman'.
-
Thank christ routledge can't finish, some godawful defending from us, again. Sigh.
-
Oh my God. We look utterly shambolic!
-
Albrighton trying to do too much already.
-
Almost dejavu for the 4th game in a row
-
Nearly caught then.
-
"3 passes that was all it took to open up Villa again" *cries*
-
Well we survived that early scare (just). The closing down and general work rate looks a lot better than against QPR. Their pace up front looks very dangerous though.
-
There's so much carving being done this should have been a Sunday fixture.
-
Oh my God. We look utterly shambolic!
Isabelle has walked off in disgust already!
-
Fuck me defence, where are you!!!!??
-
Our defence is awful and frankly going into to the season with the centre halves we have was suicide.
-
Is that correct, we turned Michu down in the summer? So much for Lambert's talent spotting abilities.
That's a petty and invalid argument if ever I saw one.
Michu was offerred to Villa for little money. Michu is a good player. Lambert therefore dropped a bollock. Seems fairly valid to me.
-
Robbie Savage reckons we're getting ripped to pieces
-
Lest we forget, the Liverpool game started like this.
-
Robbie Savage reckons we're getting ripped to pieces
On this occasion, Robbie Savage is correct.
-
Spurs 0 - 1 Reading
-
Albrighton trying to do too much already.
you in the snooker club? is it on there?
-
When fit I would have Dunne and Vlaar, maybe Baker in all day.
-
And Reading take the lead at Spurs.
-
And Reading take the lead at Spurs.
Of course. Bleedin' Ada.
-
Shit fuck wank bollocks.
-
God I can't really bear the thought of another pummelling. I don't know whether to follow this. It's the last day before going back to work FFS!
-
easy
-
cool
-
A shot! A shot on target! Things are looking up!
-
Balls
-
Fuck. Here we go again. They could have had three already.
-
shockng
-
Well here we go again. Fucking Routledge....
-
fuck sake
-
Albrighton trying to do too much already.
you in the snooker club? is it on there?
It should be on, nah I'm watching at home.
-
Well we lasted all of 8 minutes against the mighty Swansea. Brilliant
-
Ah there we go, 1-0 fucking absymal defending again. Shocker.
-
Lambert out.
-
balls, our defence is shocking.
-
Fk
-
Here we go again!!!!
How much space do we want to give them?
-
the defending was awful
-
And then they hit the post within seconds. For fucks sake Villa sort this shit out.
-
16-0
-
And they've scored. Routledge. We are shit.
-
This is going to be painful
-
1-0 too easy for them
we are shocking
-
Fucking hell walking them in .
-
dire we should be 3 down
-
Sorry but Clark was ball watching then. Can;t imagine why people rate this guy so highly. Oops almost two.
-
This squad is an absolute disgrace, and this could be another destruction job given the lack of backbone.
-
And they hit the post...from our kick off. Abysmal.
-
Bloody hell this sounds awful. Awful.
-
should be 2-0.
spineless.
-
Spurs equalize against Reading, Norwich still losing.
-
Fuck and bollox.
-
Should have been 2 there - Michu off the post
-
Fuck me. Seriously, come on. What the fuck is going on here?
-
Sorry but Clark was ball watching then. Can;t imagine why people rate this guy so highly. Oops almost two.
Clark just isn't a defender.
-
And another miss.
-
Could be four down already
-
duh duh duh duh duh, f@ckin useless
-
fuck me it shuld be 4-0 already
-
should be 5-0
-
Fucking hell, it's a shot a minute at the moment. Just fuck off Lambert you absolute cretin.
-
No shape in defence again...100% down with this back 4, are you listening Lerner?
Another 5 plus goals conceded today
-
Unbelievable. We could - should - be 4-0 down already.
-
fucking hell. this could be a mauling. our defence is woeful.
-
At this stage I would take a 3-0 defeat.
I fear it will be at least 5-0
-
It could be 5 - 0 already according to Tiny Cottee.
-
Games over from what i've seen so far
-
It sounds like it could be about 5 already!! My god we need some experience at the back
-
I'm pretty sure that was Lambert saying 'fucking hell', with a helpless look on his face.
I am seriously, seriously doubting how good this guy is.
-
What is the formation?
-
Bloody hell - this is shocking , should be 4 down after 12 mins- appalling!
-
This is absolutely diabolical again. We're a fucking shambles, it's like they're not even professional footballers.
-
Just got in. Bad as last week?
-
This is utterly pathetic, be back tomorrow when hopefully I have calmed down... again!
-
People say they believe in Lambert and what he's trying to do but can somebody explain to me what that is?
-
dont want to scapegoat anyone yet, but Albrighton is just worse than useless.
-
We have no ideas
-
What is the formation?
No idea.
-
What is the formation?
I'm not sure there is one....
-
What is the formation?
There's a formation?
-
People say they believe in Lambert and what he's trying to do but can somebody explain to me what that is?
Yes I can...not being McLeish.
-
Lambert and Lerner out. Ain't got a clue between them.
-
What is the formation?
sixes and sevens
-
Isn't this fun?
-
There are 4/5 of this line up I'd consider even close enough to be Premier League quality.
-
Oh god. This is disgusting.
-
What is the formation?
11 men bending over.
-
I think we all agreed that the team selection was yet again totally bewildering- embarrassing !
-
What is the formation?
Kick and run then panic
-
oh Feck.
-
TBF, the Swansea passing is sublime.
-
"They look like rabbits in the headlight"
*cries even harder*
-
Midfield don't help at all mind you...but boy oh boy are Clark and Herd fucking terrible. I've never got Clark at all, in midfield or defence, he's bollocks as is Herd
-
Teams must think its christmas everyday playing us. We are inept totally inept.
-
Lambert is our worst manager ever, and yes I do remember McNeill. Not to be able to even remotely organise a team, is just disgraceful. I've seen U7 teams with more organisation and backbone.
-
"They look like rabbits in the headlight"
*cries even harder*
It's worse than that. We look like a rabbit smeared all over the fast lane while all the traffic buggers off into the distance.
-
I think we look worse than QPR...
-
Attackers v defenders in training, that's what it looks like.
-
Spurs level.
-
i counted 6 times in 13 mins where swansea just ran through our defence and could/should score
-
One thing's for certain: £10M alone will not fix this team's problems.
-
Should have scored again. We are desperate and the squad is shocking.
-
Albrighton really is not very good.
-
On the plus side, they haven't had a chance for a couple of minutes. We're improving!
-
This could easily, easily, be another thrashing this afternoon. Completely hopeless we've been, and this is definitely worse than last season.
-
Can't keep them out, can't put them in....hello Championship
-
One thing's for certain: £10M alone will not fix this team's problems.
I wouldn't trust Lambert to spend it.
-
Yay football.
-
I have to say I've never seen a top level team's "defence" so consistently easy to penetrate as ours has been the last four games. It really is schoolboy stuff and does not reflect well on Lambert at all.
-
I was going to do the dryathlon but there is no way I can manage it.
-
Delph going for his usual booking nice and early i see.
-
4 shots on target in 270 minutes (Swedish commentator)...
-
Delph has himself in the first yellow card sweep.
-
Oh and there's the first dreadful Delph challenge. What a crock of shit he truly is.
-
Delph really is as shit as albrighton and herd.
-
I was going to do the dryathlon but there is no way I can manage it.
Puff!
-
oh well two shots on target for us as well.
-
Lambert is our worst manager ever, and yes I do remember McNeill. Not to be able to even remotely organise a team, is just disgraceful. I've seen U7 teams with more organisation and backbone.
totally agree ive been going to villa 50 years this is the worst ive seen
-
Delph in shit tackle shocker!
Some things are so predictable.
-
This could easily, easily, be another thrashing this afternoon. Completely hopeless we've been, and this is definitely worse than last season.
Yoda, Yoda give us a wave!
-
A shot on target. Hooray!
-
How many points have we got this season after going a goal down? Is it one, v west brom?
-
Getting rid of Lambert won't solve anything either.
-
It blows my mind how bad we are.
There are no positive points, we are simply terrible
-
Hey, positives chaps, two shots on target!
-
Clark once again displaying his clear lack of pace.
-
Benteke shot.
Clark stupid foul. Going from hero to zero in my eyes.
-
I was going to do the dryathlon but there is no way I can manage it.
Puff!
You've picked a very difficult time to stop drinking Dave! (I'll remember to sponsor you later by the way).
-
I feel sorry for the players, I really do, because they're being asked to do a job that is clearly beyond most of them.
-
Clark really is a liability.
-
Getting rid of Lambert won't solve anything either.
We'd be better off with no manager.

Tell me about it.

-
Well, I suppose Benteke is playing pretty well, and Weimann looks handy as usual. Everyone else looks pretty hopelessly out of their depth. And at the moment I'm including lambert in that.
-
How much more crap can Aston Villa fans take?
-
Nice applause from Swansea for Stan. On the radio it sounded like a lot joined in.
-
Well done Swansea fans for the 19th minute applause
-
i know we have more pressing concerns, but when will delph learn that he can't just dive in??
-
Some of the crap out on the field need to take a little fight from Stylian
-
Sublime football from Swansea then, brilliant.
-
Sublime football from Swansea then, brilliant.
You can't tell what is sublime and what is standard against this Villa tea currently.
-
A corner!
-
Holy crap we won a corner!
-
How the fuck is Herd a centre back? He can't be much over 5 foot tall for christ's sake.
-
Although clark's form has fallen dramatically away, I still come back to some of ridgewell's performances where he was a complete liability especially alongside Cahill and with Davis allegedly protecting him from midfield. There's just too many kids in one side at the same time. We don't have a single outfield player out there with any professional pedigree.its basically the youth team from 2-3 years ago.

I can do other things while listening to us. Helps takes my mind off how crap we're playing.

And they hit the post again.
-
It's ok everyone stop panicking. We've been assured there will not be any significant transfer activity.
-
Swansea ripping us to shreads
-
that was beautiful by michu.
-
The post is our man of the match...
-
post again
-
Fuck - Michu hit the post AGAIN
-

It's torture.
-
The way this is going we're going to nick a result!
NURSE! NURSE!
-
Should have been 2.
-
Fucking hell, that Michu is some player.
-
Off the post again, 'defence' ripped apart.
-
Clark just kicked Fernandes foot after ball was passed for no reason what so ever - leaving to a freekick and Michu hitting woodwork again.
-
The sooner Swansea get a second the sooner I can log off and watch a film on the Xbox. I resent having my bank holiday taken up with this shit. I really hope we've got some players lined up / Vlaar and dunne are back soon.
-
That was nearly a brilliant goal from Michu.
-
Michu is murdering Clark

-
The only glimmer is that they've had so many shots and not taken them, that while it's 1-0 we may just nick one back.
-
Guzan save I think.
-
guzan save
-
Should have been 2.
It should have been 5, frankly.

We're lucky its just one nil

Yes.
-
This getting ridiculous....I'm not being funny but I finished playing 4 years ago but I know im better...who coaches this junk!!!
-
Fucking hell, that Michu is some player.
£2.2 million. The same as we paid for Westwood, or Bennett.
-
Lowton trying his best with fucking support whatsover
-
We're lucky its just one nil
We're lucky to have nil.
-
We're lucky its just one nil

We need somebody, anybody with a little bit of experience and influence to be out there. Right now they are all looking around at each other for help and none of them have the ability to provide it. Lambert is accountable for a lot of this but it's really not as though the other available players would make much of a difference.
I don't know if he's doing the best he can, but he can't be happy either. He's been around the game at a high level for long enough to see that this lot are getting battered and what he's not going to want is for it to go so long that they are permanently damaged by this. So with that I really, really hope Randy being in town to see this is going to prompt action that will be decisive.
-
Swanseas fans create a really good atmosphere I must admit.
-
Afternoon gents.
I trust we're saving everything for the second half.
-
Guzan must be getting fed up with the non defenders in front of him
-
Too many freekicks being conceded. No movement when we do have the ball.
-
I watch this amd wish we could do some of the stuff Swansea are doing. Its depressing.
-
Swansea playing like Barcelona like when Laudrup was there....Amazing huge club ...massive Swansea. Who are Villa though?
-
Ah well, we'll just fight on !!!!
-
We will be fine. We just have to pick ourselves up and go again.
-
I really feel for Guzan. 16 goals conceded in less than 3.5 games and he's probably been our best player in that time.
-
We'll get up and go again, I'm sure.
-
Fucking hell, that Michu is some player.
£2.2 million. The same as we paid for Westwood, or Bennett.
We didn't pay anything like that for either of those two players. Michu without doubt has been superb but he eluded every major in Europe to wind up at Swansea. That's great scouting but there is a fair degree of luck that a player of that quality goes so cheap and so under the radar. I'm sure his former club with all of their debts are wishing they had got proper market value for him now.
-
17 prem goals without response, must be a record. At least we are good at something.
-
Afternoon gents.
I trust we're saving everything for the second half.
Yes - they've only scored 1 so far, they'll score the rest later
-
Bradford will tear us apart on this showing.
-
When you see a paper-thin squad like ours being comprehensively outplayed by a side that had until very recently been out of the top flight for thirty years, it's absolutely mystifying that some people persist in thinking that our owner is doing a good job.
-
Fucking hell this is depressing. No service to the forwards. Defending terrible. Herd isn't a centre half.

Randy went home at 12.40 yesterday from bhx

We're totally crap, not creating anything remotely like a chance, second half another 2 or 3 goals in the against column.

I'm not even confident that Lambert should be given any more money. He took a team that the hopeless McLeish kept up, and wasted £20m on a stupid experiment of getting loads of kids. Well, you reap what you sow, and this team is his, and it's getting what it deserves, ie battered.
-
And thats the problem. Many of these players are damaged now. It started under TSM and has continued this season. A bunch of kids given no fucking guidance or protection by their manager by way of experienced support around them. Even the players are asking for help, given Holmans interview yesterday.
-
My god the management over the last few years has killed us. We didn't need massive funds to build a good squad, but we spent a lot and we've got the worst squad I've ever seen.
-
I think Benteke is lowering himself to everyone else's level.
-
Bradford will tear us apart on this showing.
I know things are shit in the PL right now, but Bradford won't tear us apart at all. In fact, the League Cup will be a welcome distraction to the league in my opinion and we'll handle our business.

I'm pretty sure that's the kind of figures given for those two players.
-
They are just scared little boys who don't want the ball. There is no attempt to even play football
-
Delph costs us again. Another let off. I'm really beginning to think we're going to nick something today.
-
Great work from Delph then. Not.

Completely agree herd isn't a centre back. Especially in a back 4, which I presume we're playing?

How to ruin a great club in three seasons.
-
We're also being penalised for some pretty powder-puff challenges.
-
Our 'defending' consists of Swansea passing it around us before someone desperately throws them self in front of a shot.
-
I want to cry.
-
To think Routledge would walk into our team and be our best player now!!
That illustrates our decline.
-
One man in the box gain when the cross comes in. Clueless.
-
Should have had a corner there
-
No one thinks good Hilts, just that there is more to it than him to blame solely. We have been the perfect storm of shit management from O'Neill, poor appointments from the board, too much more sanctioned in wages and until this season no coherent plan for how to move the club forward. Unfortunately injuries and under performance of the more seasoned players has turned this season into a real nightmare for all concerned. Lets hope we can get out of it eventually. 2 central defenders and a big hard midfield player are the minimum requirements.
-
Weimann had Benteke to pass to - counter attack. Benteke alone between 5 white shirts...we are not even trying
-
Delph costs us again. Another let off. I'm really beginning to think we're going to nick something today.

Lambert bought these players on a policy of young, cheap with potential. Thats OK when we are in a safe position, but high risk now and with the current injuries we are stuffed.
-
Wigan losing!
-
Albrighton, Herd, Delph, Bennett and Clark have been fucking awful.

I don't want to make excuses for the bloke, but it would help if Vlaar, Gabby, Bent, Dunne to name four were playing. I know having those three, plus one or two of the older heads won't win us the league but we weren't getting battered either earlier in the season. The heads have gone, and as much as you can point at Lambert for a lot of things he's been unlucky with injuries. Again, not an excuse, but the truth.

You think that buying a load of underperforming kids constitutes a coherent plan? It's madness. Lowest scorers and worst defence. Lambert is clueless.
-
Every player out there looks like well, they don't want to be out there...every impression I get from their body language is I don't really care

Kick and hope against a promoted team, with no belief what so ever - that is unexcusable - and now i want Lambert out.

I doubt very much that they don't care. I suspect that they're not enjoying it at all and are hiding

I'll give you Vlaar but the others? Gabby has done fuck all for us for several seasons and the only think you can count on him for is unreliability. Bent wasn't being picked anyway and hasn't done anything to suggest he can play with Benteke, even assuming Lambert wants to do that. Dunne is a feckless, overweight, unprofessional money-sink and yet he remains the closest thing we have to an experienced Premier League defender.
Very worrying times.

Sorry but there's no reason why they shouldn't if we defend like this and they are up for it. If they can score against Arsenal why wouldn;t they against this woeful excuse for a defence? And even if we "handle our business" we will need to improve drastically not to endure humiliation at Wembley.
-

what complete and utter rubbish.
The players Lambert has brought in have, with the possible exception of KEA, shown a lot of promise. Do you really think Lambert wanted these players to play with no experience alongside them?
Our experienced players are injured and we'll struggle till we have some older heads back but nobody could have foreseen the problems we've had, especially in defence this season. We've got young inexperienced kids playing out of position because there's no other option.
It would be sensible to judge Lambert when we've got a full strength side out not an injury ravaged side.
-
Our worst players are not the ones he has signed Risso, they are the ones that were here and he did not yet know were as shitty as they are unfortunately. Give the bloke more than 6 months and 1 window without compitive games to sort it out??
The trouble is, and I'm really not one for chopping and changing managers for the sake of it, that he has had a full summer with money, and we are hakfway through the season, and things appear to be spiralling downwards pretty seriously. I'm not at all sure that I can see too many signs that that will change.
-
It wasn't over the line,but no excuse from Weimann
-
Delph telling another player to calm down....ironic.
-
Who the fuck is Delph to push Weimann- Weimann is 10 times the player the Delph is.
Delphi discipline record is a joke.
-
Daft yellows show lack of discipline.
-
I fancy us getting a draw here.
-
Our worst players are not the ones he has signed Risso, they are the ones that were here and he did not yet know were as shitty as they are unfortunately. Give the bloke more than 6 months and 1 window without compitive games to sort it out??
All the players who are being mentioned as those who are currently injured but would walk straight into the team were, barring Vlaar, not signed by Lambert.
In other words, all Lambert's signing except Vlaar are involved.
-
Delph was just annoyed that Weimann got booked before he did.
-
Weimann needs to take care, he's losing his head.
-
I can see us going down to 10 maybe 9 before the end of the match
-
Weimann needs to take care, he's losing his head.
yes, he needs someone experienced to tell him...oh, hold on...
-
Rags 0 - 1 Cardiff.
-
Too many of these players are just not good enough.
Run down the squad and invest in almost exclusively lower league players and you get left with a lower league team. It's not really as if the injured players would make much difference, other than Vlaar.
It is the result of a three year long process of penny pinching and neglect.

I looked at the fixtures a few weeks back and thought that the post Xmas spell would be crucial to us. Win a few - theoretically winnable - games and we could be virtually safe, fail to do that and I think we're in massive trouble.
Yeeeess! How the fuck are we back in this???

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

That is a brilliant goal. Clinical.

Huge, huge goal

Never seen that coming in a million years

Actually can't believe that we've got level. Benteke & Weimann combining very well indeed. Good lads.

Concentrate now & keep calm for 50 minutes...

True, but i think lambert bought theses young players to use them as squad players at first, i dont think despite what he says in public, that he wanted to use all the kids at the same time. Its just a sad state out affairs that even teams like Wigan and Swansea have much better experienced squads than us, and thats down the current policy of our owner and his inept chief exec!
-
Another stupid free kick and another yellow
-
Stevens, ffs
-
1st goal in 314 minutes according to AVTV.
-
Another booking. I have a really horrible feeling someone is going to get sent off. Make that 2 more bookings as Delph was feeling left out.
-
Albrighton is fucking gash.
This is very true.
-
Great ball to Weimann and great finish. Hope it inspires them for the second half and we don't concede straight from kick off
-
From BBC Sport
SITTER! - West Ham 2-0 Norwich
Oh my word what a miss! One of the worst you will see. Guy Demel crosses from the right, Carlton Cole has an empty net from two yards out, but somehow shins the ball high and wide. Huge miss.
Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
-
GOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always preferred Adidas.
-
4 bookings Delph Stevens Delph Clark
-
Great run from Weimann, his pace got himself in a position to have a chance and he took it.
-
1-1 HT - bloody hell.
-
Poor, poor tackling - this time from Stevens. Just not acceptable to keep doing it. We'll be down to 10 soon, particularly with effing Halsey as ref.
We need to keep some bloody shape and composure.
-
Another booking. I have a really horrible feeling someone is going to get sent off. Make that 2 more bookings as Delph was feeling left out.
Definitely
-
Where the fuck did that come from?! Come on the Villa,
-
FFS!
We had Swansea backtracking, ball in controll, and Benneth runs into problems, ending with Stevens booked and now freekick
Benneth is extremely crap - Delph crap, Clark headless today
-
ANDIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <3
-
4 bookings Delph Stevens Delph Clark
You forgot Weimann.
-
Believe!
A draw here would steady the ship. Forget a win, breaking the losing streak is paramount. Then we can focus on pushing up. A draw to break the bad run would be excellent.
-
GOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always preferred Adidas.
Addidas was for rich people when I was a youngster
-
4 bookings Delph Stevens Delph Clark
Weimann is so similar looking to Delph.
-
very hard to watch and how the hell we are level is anyone's guess. Trouble 2nd half will be keeping 11 on the pitch!
-
As I say Weimann and Benteke are two of our very few good players and they made that goal. We're very very lucky to be level, and need something remarkable to get something out of the game.
-
Come on Villa, ram it all back down their throats.
-
I might turn off the radio, don't think I can take the tension of this second half.
-
4 bookings Delph Stevens Delph Clark
Weimann is so similar looking to Delph.
Oh yes my bad
-
Weimann and Benteke are like a pair of pearls, perched precariously atop a pile of steaming turd.
-
The thing is, put Vlaar and dunne in at centre back, and a frimpong like player (if fully fit) and I'd have an awful lot more confidence. But I still think we need a centre back in January whatever the fitness position. I wonder if it would be possible to bring chris samba back from Russia. Or is h on mega bucks?
-
The 4 bookings are gonna prove crucial. Delph opening his gob, Weimann needlessly kicking ball away are just plain stupid. But last 25 showed some encouraging signs and indeed a good goal great ball over the top Williams fecked it up letting Weimann to finish really well.
-
5 Live taking the piss.
-
Y'know, this business about the kids: they will all have been in structured junior set-ups for the last 6-8 years, so there is no excuse for losing their shape and playing in such an ill-disciplined way.
I really hope Lambert gets them settled down for the second half: they don;t need to dive in; they don't need to get bent out of shape - they just need to get focussed and work for each other.
-
Believe!
A draw here would steady the ship. Forget a win, breaking the losing streak is paramount. Then we can focus on pushing up. A draw to break the bad run would be excellent.
We need wins - a draw would be ok but why settle for that ?
-

so eloquent !!
-

Yes, just like MOTD!
-
How the hell are we still in this?
-
5 Live taking the piss.
Everyone is ..
-
And Albrighton was guilty of giving the ball away even more than others on the team; he really has gone to the dogs.
-
The goal could be massive just for their heads. That they can actually score and it's not all about picking the ball out of our own net. It's a lot of very young kids out there, and the upward climb to be a solid pro is a lot steeper than the speed down down the slope when it goes wrong. They need to gradually introduced but they've been thrown in and have taken some proper batterings. Somehow, some way we need to get through this period. Today, could be a massive step. The second half could be as important as any we've played in a long, long while.
-
The control and pass from Benteke for the goal was superb.
-
Believe!

We need wins - a draw would be ok but why settle for that ?
I'm talking about fans expectations today. The table is worrying, we need wins but given the bad run we are on stopping the rot with a draw would be a good result which would give us something to build on.
-
Was so pleased when we scored - I kissed the dog!
Her breath stinks but it was worth it!
-
We need to win this game. We are unbelievably lucky to be drawing, we need to take our chance. Then we need to sign 5 quality players and get our injured players back.
-
bookings all seemed a bit harsh except Weimann if I'm honest, none of the others were dangerous tackles, just a touch late (I'm assuming delph was booked for the tackle a little earlier in the move). We've given away 9 fouls so we've been booked for a 3rd of them, seems very harsh to me, particularly given that Clark's was for persistent fouling.
-
5 Live taking the piss.
It's understandable, for the last 4 games our players look like they're playing football wearing clown shoes. Perform like a bloody circus and people will laugh,
-
How the hell are we still in this?
I thought we looked up for it in the last ten minutes, getting closer to them, getting some tackles in, pressing them into mistakes. Hopefully the goal will give them all a lift.
-
Yet again Clark gets drawn out, leaves a gap, and they score.He has been responsible for giving 3 goals away in the last 2 games.
Fair play to Weimann, can't help thinking its delaying the inevitable though.
-

Our problem will be when Weimann needlesly gets himself sent off in the second half. We really are dreadful today. Even by our standards!

Addidas was for rich people when I was a youngster
Lol...
Nike was for rich people when I was younger and space invaders was the Xbox/PS of that time except you had to go to the chip shop to play it...
-
totally agree about the importance of the next 45 mins.
I think had they got a second straight from OUR kickoff after the first, they would be out of sight now, but the post saved us. That could be crucial and we now just need to match whatever they do for 45 mins, and stop this horrible,horrible run.
-
We've not so much ridden our luck as put it in a gimp suit, strapped it to a barrel and skull-fucked it.
-
Just watched the highlights at half time, we had one, they had six and all I can say is thanks Guzan in keeping it down to one, plus some luck
-
The goal...
http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/xwdgb1
-
Clark's ability to get drawn out of position is shocking.
-
Thought Weimann's celebration said it all - pretty sheepish. Glad the strikers have got a reward of sorts for their hard work, but the complete lack of quality is there for all to see. How many times has Clarke been dragged out of position (normally forward) and left a gaping hole at the back??
-
I throught Stevens made a good tackle myself.
I'd be considering replacing Albrighton he just does not have the pace to play wide can never beat his man these days.
-
Get the prayer mats out and pray we can hold out for first 10-15 mins in second half and make Swansea worry a bit. The longer we hold on they will question how they have wasted a chance to fill their boots.
We will get a result somewhere - so why not today?
-
Carruthers should replace Albrighton, as Albrighton is fucking terrible.
-
Was so pleased when we scored - I kissed the dog!

That's a bad way to talk about your wife! ;)
-
The goal...
http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/xwdgb1
Great finish Andi...get in there!
-
With the return of the back four, two wide players in the midfield and Benteke and Weimann upfront is much better.
-
I throught Stevens made a good tackle myself.
I'd be considering replacing Albrighton he just does not have the pace to play wide can never beat his man these days.
He hasn't lost the ball yet and has won a few corners but needs to improve I agree, Delph off is the priority!
-
Yet again Clark gets drawn out, leaves a gap, and they score.He has been responsible for giving 3 goals away in the last 2 games.
I think Clark is over rated and always have done. He was largely getting away with it while up alongside Vlaar but has been found out badly since. It's not just him, of course, but he ball watches, gets dragged out of position far too easily and doesn't have the pace to recover.
-
Apparently a Swansea fan just won £10K at half-time. Pisses over our Zorbs.
-
Turned on 5live in the car and we equalised!
Am now going to turn on again with 5 minutes to go and deal with whatever the score is then...
UTV!!!

I've always thought he looks better in midfield. He scares me in defence, I have far more confidence in Baker.
-
Not seeing the game but sounds like albrighton is as crap as ever. Could Ireland play that position second half? Maybe go 4231 and put weimann right?
I do struggle to see how this crop of players can really go 442 against players who are better, stronger and more streetwise than them?
-
If we play like we did i the first half, we will lose comfortably. We can only hope that well taken goal will give them a bit of belief. Here we go...
-
Here we go
-
Carruthers should replace Albrighton, as Albrighton is fucking terrible.
I've been calling foe Carruthers to get a game for ages , I can't see why he doesn't when others are playing so shit .
-
No changes from either manager.
Come on you Villa boys!
-
Get Carruthers on for Albrighton.
-
Could Ireland play that position second half?
No thanks :(
-
right i'm counting down the minutes
-
And we're off . . I forecast a 3-1 Swansea win
-
right i'm counting down the minutes
To us scoring again?
-
Unable to perform even the basics in so mant departments. After three terrible performances I can accept lack of confidence, but the frightening widening gulf in quality now being shown is also down to lack of professional application and dare I say poor preparation.
I predicted a loss today and we may avoid that now (even fluke a win here !) but if the level of performance in the second half is anything like that first awful 45 minutes it shows we have become rotten to the core.
-
Baker and Vlaar are comfortably better centre backs than Clark, but he is a good midfielder IMO.
-
I think Clark could be much better as holding midfielder. We need to buy one CB and at least two midfielders because the only premier league standard midfielder that we have is (or could be in the future) Westwood.
-
Could Ireland play that position second half?
No thanks :(
Agreed - Ireland can play somewhere else. He can fupp right off
-
Another escape.
-
Ken McNaught saying Benteke is lazy, assist aside. Too much time spent with Ireland?
-
Just got in. How have we played 1st half?
-
Defence got carved open then (again).
-
Clark asleep again.
-
Baker and Vlaar are comfortably better centre backs than Clark, but he is a good midfielder IMO.
Agreed on both points there, I'd say Vlaar and Baker will end up the first choice pairing for us. Benteke and Weimann look plenty decent up front, too. The rest of the team though.......
-
Fucking hell Bennett, track the runner.
-
Just got in. How have we played 1st half?
Dire.
-
Just got in. How have we played 1st half?
Swansea just edged it
-
Ive played a lot of football and I think the easiest thing in the game is to pick up a player and stick with him....why can't they do it is beyond me.
-
spurs 2-1 now v reading.
-
Just got in. How have we played 1st half?
Swansea just edged it
All Villa
-
Just got in. How have we played 1st half?

Yes, just. A very fair scoreline so far, I'd say......
-
Ive played a lot of football and I think the easiest thing in the game is to pick up a player and stick with him....why can't they do it is beyond me.
The easiest thing in the professional game is picking 10s of £1,000s a week for minimal effort.

And that
-
Half chance for us.
-
Clark you can't get turned that easy.
-
Danny Graham - not the best striker I've ever seen - is giving CC a right runaround.
-
Nice ball across from Lowton there. Better this half going forward.
-
Great ball in by Lowton - someone should have been attacking the far post
-
Don't tell me Clark is injured
-
Clark injured. Another defender crocked?
-
Another injury, Clark.
-
Sorry, don't want any of ours injured, but how much worse could we possibly get at the back anyway?
-
Sounds like we're playing a bit better. In recent games that's been a cue for rapid conceding of goals
Sounds like Clark is getting the complete runaround.
-
Clark is injured. Back on for now.
-
Lichaj will have to come on and put Lowton and Herd as centre halves, not good considering we're likely going to be backs to the walls for a fair bit of this second half.
-
You'd think given our recent form etc we surely must have a new CB lined up for this month?
-
Wonder if Bowery could play at the back? Big, strong and decent in the air
-
If we don't have 2 centre backs lined up I would be stunned. Clark is too weak, Baker and Vlaar both injury prone. Need 2.
-
Shit, I thought he'd given a penalty then.
-
Wonder if Bowery could play at the back? Big, strong and decent in the air
Fuck me, perish the thought
-
Oooh! Thought that was in the area.
-
thought that was a pen then.
-
And should have been a penalty, but he's given it outside the area.
-
That was a penalty for me.
-
Fuck we've been so lucky on pens...Wigan should of had 2
-
That was in the area.
-
Stupid handball - should have been a penalty
-
Lucky lad Bennett there.
-
A bit lucky that was inside.
-
Lowton and herd at cb? Yikes . .
Can Westwood play there?
I don't know really. Sounds like another chance for Swansea and beeb reckons should have been a penalty
Miracle if we don't concede another
-
Fucking hell chaos from set piece again.
-
Are refs finally feeling sorry for us?
-
Herd that is shocking
-
I thnk he might make a decent player, Bennett, but of all the players bought in he seems the most overwhelmed by the step up, I'd say.
-
I think we are gonna be lucky today, only Swansea are letting me down for £70, and i never win accumulators !
-
If we don't have 2 centre backs lined up I would be stunned. Clark is too weak, Baker and Vlaar both injury prone. Need 2.
Two players mid-twenties or higher that have seen some work in the career. Doesn't need to be PL experience, but in a decent league somewhere. Ideally, one with muscles in his hair.
Is Micheal Dawson back in the spurs side?

It's really not that unusual that big front men can play as centre halves and visa versa

Yep, and scored today!
-
My mate's a boro fan and he says Bennett is with some talent, but hadn't really established himself in that league yet. I'm not surprised he looks a bit overwhelmed
Stuart James reckons we may look at a left back in January. No idea who
-
wigan 0 - united 3 now
-
Dawson scored today for Spurs. Lescott in the city side.
Are there not a couple of big hard fuckers in the Championship, we don't need world beaters, just a couple that can actually defend.
-
Whoever said that Albrighton is giving the ball away the most - please look at Bennett - horrible player
-
Nowt wrong with that challenge.
-
I'm not sure that is a foul, but Albrighton is so poor.

Is he on more than £10000 a week, Lerner will say "no chance"
-
afternoon peeps, Villa to nick this with an 89th minute winner :)
-
Fucking Albie giving away another free kick!
-
That's not a foul you knob.
-
Never a freekick :(
-
You'd have thought bannan and Holman might come on for albrighton and Bennett perhaps?
-
Dyer on for Routledge. Remember Warnock's gift to him at VP this time last year?
-
I'd bring Bannan or Carruthers on for Albrighton.
-
that free kick against albrighton was a really strange one, just can't work out where he thought the foul was.
-
One thing I have accepted in life is that Halsey and Dowd will always give Villa sweet fuck all unless they make a balls up.
-
Get Carruthers on and give him a chance!
-
Holman for Stevens.
-
Holman on for Stevens???
-
I've just got this really weird feeling we might win this with a very late goal
-
You'd have thought bannan and Holman might come on for albrighton and Bennett perhaps?
I would definitely bring Holman on for albrighton. Shit he may be, but he does often crop up in our better moves, Holman.
-
Dyer on for Routledge. Remember Warnock's gift to him at VP this time last year?
I would have Dyer at Villa Park tomorrow.
-
Strange change, but come on Holman play a fuck load better than you have recently.
-
Dyer on for Routledge. Remember Warnock's gift to him at VP this time last year?
I would have Dyer at Villa Park tomorrow.
Word.
-
Guess he's on a yellow but I think Stevens is unlucky to come off
-
So how's this working then?
-
scrap that
-
One thing I have accepted in life is that Halsey and Dowd will always give Villa sweet fuck all unless they make a balls up.
Aside from the nailed-on pen he didn't give Swansea. I think he's been fussy as fuck but that was a real stroke of luck.
-
Presumably Bennett at left back and Holman left mid?
-
Dyer on for Routledge. Remember Warnock's gift to him at VP this time last year?
I would have Dyer at Villa Park tomorrow.
Even Danny dyer would be better than some.
-
The headless Ostrich needs to give us a decent game now he's on.
-
Presumably Bennett at left back and Holman left mid?
Exactly this, by the looks of it.
-
Presumably Bennett at left back and Holman left mid?
Correct.
-
La,berts subs have often made us worse this season- lets hope today bucks the trend.
-
Ooh, if Weimann had got that through....
-
That was a chance.
-
Come onnnn Villa!!
-
benteke offside again
-
Unlucky that from Weimann, a really good idea though.
-
Benteke off side again.
-
"Benteke - offside." It's like a mantra.
-
Benteke the offside rule, learn it.
-
fuck we, we are right back in this
-
The headless Ostrich needs to give us a decent game now he's on.
I thought Delph was already on!
-
Ahhh so close
-
Benteke offside....havent heard that for a while
-
Looking a little better ....
-
This is our time to score. Composure, lads.
-
ARGHHHH....so close
-
great cross from albrighton there. Very unlucky we didn't get more from it.
-
Holman you tit, that's one of the worst clearances I've ever seen.
-
more belief now
-
Benteke's quick to show his disapproval, isn't he?
-
Benteke's quick to show his disapproval, isn't he?
Yup.
-
Citeh 3 Sturke 0
They were awarded a pen with a foul outside the box!
-
Benteke's quick to show his disapproval, isn't he?
So he should be...some of the balls he gets are amateurish
-
My stream has taken to some quite amusing skipping around, so I feel like I'm in that episode of Futurama with the Earth Vs Aliens basketball match.
-
Benteke's quick to show his disapproval, isn't he?

As was that ball he just played himself.
-
It's been a much more disciplined second half.
-
That tackle on Delph is worse than anything we've been booked for.
-
My stream has taken to some quite amusing skipping around, so I feel like I'm in that episode of Futurama with the Earth Vs Aliens basketball match.
Which are Villa?! They are certainly finding basic tactics alien.
-
Bennett really is not good enough
-
good tackle
-
Westwood down injured.
-
Benteke in full rampage mode.
-
Or less a tackle than getting fucked to the ground my Michu.
Hope Westwood will be ok
-
That's 2 bookings in 5 minutes that Swansea haven't received. Nothing like consistency from the ref.
-
Westwood looks in real pain
-
I don't know whether we look much better today, or whether Swansea aren't taking full advantage of our customary shambles. On the ball, most of our players are horrendous, yet Swansea look nervous when we come forward, invariably through Benteke.
-
Mark Halsey you ******.
-
nasty one for westwood, got his leg trapped.
-
Halsey being Halsey
-
Westy out of it here...Bannan on?
-
Spurs doing us a favour vs Reading even without Bale.
-
Barry on for Westwood. Great, another injury.
-
It's Halsey...
QED
-
dirty c.unt Michu...has really crocked westwood there
-
Westwood is fucked.
-
Shit, Westie knackered now.
-
Replace him with Carruthers, why not?
-
It's been a much more disciplined second half.
Just thinking that and a lot of that comes with confidence. Every minute that passes by playing against a good team where they are not on the back foot or worse, picking the ball out of the net builds belief. That must be the hardest thing for a young team is to gain and keep confidence. If we can see this out it would be a big, big plus.
-
dirty c.unt Michu...has really crocked westwood there
Looked accidental to me.
-
Halsey ..... = Cheat!
-
Books people for nothing and misses the big ones.
-
You fucking cheating Swansea ******.
-
never forgiven him for that Terry Henry cheating at VP
-
dirty c.unt Michu...has really crocked westwood there
Looked accidental to me.
And me.
-
Westwood may have a nasty knee injury and KEA is in Africa. Crap.
-
Customary to give the ball back in those situations, no?
-
Holywood coming on
-
Just hope we can hang on here!
-
Looks like westy will be out a while with that injury- bad news.
-
Cheating fucking ******.
-
Customary to give the ball back in those situations, no?
Only if we kciked it out on purpose though, didn't see whether we did or not to be honest.
-
dirty c.unt Michu...has really crocked westwood there

he wrapped his legs round Westwoods leg. Michu knew what he was doing.
-
Westwood may have a nasty knee injury and KEA is in Africa. Crap.
Not to worry, we'll be straight back in for Dale Stephens.
-
Forest 3 down, McLeish weaving his magic.
-
Reading losing 3-1 now so at least we haven't lost any ground to them or Wigan whatever happens in the last 10 mins or so...
-
corner from nothing there. c'mon villa.
-
PENALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Halsey ..... = Cheat!
I'm actually starting to think there's a few refs that are on the take.
Note that I didn't say who from :P
-
Come on Villa!
-
Penalty!!!!!!!
-
PENALTY TO VILLA
-
penno !!!!!!
-
Penalty!!!

Joke of the day.

Chuckle!
-
You lot are giving me a fucking heart attack today. I have decided to not watch a stream, not listen. Just sit and read on here, a superstition thing from the league cup games.
Are we really winning??

I left the room so missed that whole thing. Delighted to run in to see Benteke celebrating a goal.
This could be a turning point, huge, huge goals.
-
Hmm. Penalty?
Yep, he was clipped for definite, very clever from Weimann, he made sure he got in the way!
-
We've really improved as the game's gone on. Just hold on now Villa.
-
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooome ooooooooooon!
-
Loud noises!
Come on Villa, we need this.
-
Hang on Lads!! Yeeah!!
-
Bowery on for Albrighton.
-
Thts never a foul.
-
Forest 3 down, McLeish weaving his magic.
Good grief. The man is like poison!
Tee hee. I spent part of the holidays consoling Forest fan friends. They know there way around third division grounds, though.
-
this is the Villa - one more please.
-
I just kissed the dog, his breath was lovely.
That you coming out?
-
Squeaky bums all round
-
Now .... just don't do anything daft!
-
This would be grand larceny.
Do you care? I don't and given some of the tribulations of recent games we might, just might be owed a little bit of good fortune.
-
Yeeeeeeeessssssss! I don't give a fuck whether we deserve it or not, get the fuck in!!!! Come on Villa!
-
Come on Villa!!
-
Now, HOLD ON!
-
I just kissed the dog, his breath was lovely.
I'm sure your wife's not that bad!
-
Yeeeeaeaeaeaeaeaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!
-
Come on boys just hold on now
-
I just kissed the dog, his breath was lovely.
I'm kissing mine and we're doing tongues!
-
1-2 win for us today...
Would be happy with a point but I have a feeling we will steal this...
Happy New Year Everyone :-)
Getting ready for smug mode :P
Come on Villa..
-
PAUL LAMBERT'S CLARET N' BLUE ARMY!
-
It's not just the points that are a relief, ever since that first goal they're playing with so much confidence. It's worrying that they're so fragile, but the next 6 games are all very winnable, hopefully they can keep it going.
-
Wheres risso?
-
My giddy Aunt, this is ridiculous but come on!
Put this front two in front of a proper midfield and defence and they could score a hat full between them. I love Weimann.
-
Yeeeeaeaeaeaeaeaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!
Delayed reaction? Thought we had got a third!
-
I just kissed the dog, his breath was lovely.
I'm kissing mine and we're doing tongues!
Briilant!
-
Go back to the first lot of pages and now look it.... ;D
-
Dyer conceded the penalty. Repays Warnock's favour to him of one year ago?!
-
god I hate this...the feeling when Villa are winning in the last few minutes is worse than being on the end of a tonking
-
we are struggling to get hold of the ball
-
told u, my accumulator fucks up again.
Wish id have Villa to win, would have won loads !
-
fuck me - charge the defibrillator...
-
My giddy Aunt, this is ridiculous but come on!

Me too. Most naturally gifted footballer at the club.
-
Nice.....
Fingers crossed for a good away win.
-
I might be sick with nerves for the last 5 minutes plus extra time
-
I just kissed the dog, his breath was lovely.
I'm kissing mine and we're doing tongues!
Briilant!
If we hold on she'll be getting even more!
-
I just kissed the dog, his breath was lovely.

Briilant!
If we get a 3rd, my cat's getting a reach-a-round.
-
Oo er hang on. Will Randy slash the January transfer budget now?!
-
5 minutes stoppage time. This is going to kill me!
-
5 minutes added? Bladdy hell.
-
Good possession there, hold on Villa.
-
Sloppy passing..hang on lads! Keep the ball!
-
god I hate this...the feeling when Villa are winning in the last few minutes is worse than being on the end of a tonking
Yes, torture.
-
5 minutes!!
-
5 fucking minutes injury time !!!!!!!!
-
How long left?
-
What the fuck was Herd doing then..this side needs discipline.
-
5 mins extra time..... hang on!!!
-
Yeeeeeeeessssssss! I don't give a fuck whether we deserve it or not, get the fuck in!!!! Come on Villa!
If we win, of course we deserve it.
possession stats are a load of bol***s, the only stat that counts is goals for and against
-
Fuck off Michu.
-
Shit, five minutes!!
-
5 minutes injury time, I think I am going to do a poo.
-
Why are there 5?? Is it justified?
If Westwood has a serious one we need 2 sitting midfielders tomorrow morning.
-
I'm shitting it now
-
Benteke vs Spaniard = no contest
-
Pretty little Swansea getting all a bit frayed aren't they...
-
my stomach is in knots ............please hang on!!!
-
COME ON LADS!
-
hold on you bastards! HOLD ON1
-
Hang on in there Villa boys
-
Chico just bounced off Benteke!
-
Dear god, how on earth are we winning?! Hold on please!
-

Bollocks
-

This is a typical Villa climax. It's no more than you expect.
-

-
Oh fuck.
-
WANKERS
-
shite hell fuck
-
i don't bloody believe it
-
FUCK OFF!
-
Just fuck off. Fuck right off you bunch of fucking ******.
FUCK OFF.
-
Fuck off
-
Now I cry.
-
We got that for sitting back to far.
-
Bastards. Oh well, we'll take a point!
-
And there you go
-
Fuck
-
Balls. I'd have taken a point after twenty minutes though!
-
fuck
-
Blow the whistle!!
-
Fuck me this acid's doing weird things.
-
20 seconds from time. Fucking typical.
-
You just knew it was coming. Just knew it. Fuck's sake. Fuck sake.
-
Fucking idiots.
-
blow your whistle
-
My fault lads I dared to dream
-
17 goals against for Christmas. Bloody hell.
-
unlucky not much we could have done
-
Oooh B*ll*cks...oh No!! Why let them have the ball!???
-
Heartbreaking - so hard to take!
-
They were robbed.
-
Unbelievable, really unbelievable
-
Lambert looked devastated by the goal
-
bastards, fuckinell, would have taken a draw beforehand but gutted now
-
Typical Typical Typical shit
-
Still a massive point, and with just a couple of astute signings, a turning point?
-
Good draw.
-
My tears will be extra salty this evening.
-
Ah well our luck finally ran out.
-
unlucky not much we could have done
Well we could have not sat back!!
-
Just waiting for this thread to explode into a load of Fuck bollocks shit posts.
Thanks for that, Nostredamus.
-
Unbastardbelieveable, where did the extra 5 mins come from?
-
I'm happy with the draw. We were shit for most of that
-
As disappointing as the late equaliser was, the rot's stopped and it's not a bad away draw.
-
Just waiting for this thread to explode into a load of Fuck bollocks shit posts.
Bloody hell oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Still a massive point, and with just a couple of astute signings, a turning point?
Nah. We were massively, massively shit in the first half, easily as bad as the rest of the Christmas fixtures.
-
Still a massive point, and with just a couple of astute signings, a turning point?
I would have taken a point before the game. Losing Westwood, Clark possibly got a knock, a point is massive away from home.
-
would have taken a draw before kick off, but thats hard to take now
-
The draw is fair, in the last 5 minutes we acted as an amateur side.
-
Always let you down fucking tossers.
-
Ah well our luck finally ran out.
If there's one thing Villa have never been in my lifetime of supporting them, it's lucky.
-
Cant argue with a point....we could of been 5 down in 15 minutes.
-
I suppose we should be grateful, we're utterly shit but still somehow managed to get a point.
Reading and Wigan losing is a bonus.
-
We had that..bar the last 5 mins syndrome!!
-
Unbastardbelieveable, where did the extra 5 mins come from?
Mostly our injured players.
-
They must take some confidence from that. Make sure the Orange Dot is out again for the next game. Good result with the team we had out, well done lads!
-
It could easily have been another stuffing so at least we've stopped the nosedive. A loss would have been a travesty from their perspective.
-
I am so pissed that Holman didn't backtrack and let Dyer run unchallenged to put in the pass for 2-2 :(
-
I'd have taken a point but they should have closed that one out. Defending too deep at the end because they let Swansea have the ball
-
I just kissed the dog, his breath was lovely.
I'm kissing mine and we're doing tongues!
Briilant!
If we get a 3rd, my cat's getting a reach-a-round.
I don't know if I'm happy with a point or happy the Cat's safe!!
-
Gazan should have stopped that.
-
We'd have taken a point before the game but to lose that goal so late was down to inexperience, sounds like Herd lost his rag big time
-
Goalmouth panic at end..schoolboy stuff.. Why didn't someone hoof it rather than turning arse to the ball??
-
positives, we didn't lose, Ireland didn't start,
-
Gutting, but I was ready to take anything at all out of that game after the way it started!
-

Dog happy she won't be violated as well.

I 'watched' the game via SSN with no sound. Discovered lip reading what Tony Cottee had to say isn't my specialist subject.
