Saturday 4.1.14 @2pm (3pm KO)
-
Nice.
-
Villa: Steer, Lowton, Clark, Baker, Luna, Westwood, Bacuna, Weimann, Delph, Albrighton, Benteke.
-
All the reserves are playing. Lambert really does hate the FA Cup.

I can't believe he's not taking it seriously.
-
Stronger team than I expected - lets hope benteke can rediscover his scoring touch - Guzan and gabby aside that's possibly the strongest team he could play .
-
What a gesture of disdain to the fans, the opposition and the competition and the tradition and history it represents to play such a terrible...
Oh wait, that's our first team.
-
How bizarre. All that fuss midweek and he puts out a strong side. Good to see of course; I wonder whether he changed his mind at some point over the last couple of days?

I wonder what Moxley will write now? I imagine Fear has pegged it out of the house and jumped on the 11C to show his true support. Ignorant prick.
-
Would have liked to see helenius get a game today , anyone got the subs ?

Like that

Subs Guzan Donacien, KEA, Bowery Helenious, Tonev and Sylla

It's only bizarre if it was interpreted as it was by some, as opposed to what he actually meant by what he said.

pity its not televised

I was very much hoping Benteke would play and finally gets back to banging in goals. I think that's how Lambert has seem it too.
-
Nice one Lambert, get well ahead by the hour mark and bring the subs on !
-
Come on Villa win please.
-
pity its not televised
Mr Woodward will be my commentator this afternoon .
-
live commentary on fivelive extra
-
More than anything I want us to go at the opposition from the off. This is VP, and we've been awful for the most part. We need to play today like we did against Everton and take our chances. This game, though against lower league opposition can help exorcise some demons, or at least start the process.
-
live commentary on fivelive extra
Excellent - a better option I feel:)
-
Would have been nice to have seen Gardner or Johnson on the bench. Like the team though, be good if Benteke scored an early couple, then he could throw Helenius on. UTV

No, it's bizarre because all that fuss could have been completely avoided by giving his customary straight bat answers.

Indeed, a resounding home win followed by a couple of experienced signings would give a boost to all .

Nice one. I like it so I am not going to moan about Guzan not there.

The fuss has been created by people deciding he'd given up on the FA Cup, which was never the case and has been proved to be completely wrong.
-
Villa manager in replying to answer shock. Angers Villa fans who need to tub thump because they just, well, need to.
-
The fuss has been created by people deciding he'd given up on the FA Cup, which was never the case and has been proved to be completely wrong.
No. The fuss was created by a Premier League manager saying he could do without the FA Cup. He dropped a bollock there and invited pressure on himself. There's no shame in that though, I expect he was caught a little off guard given the news about Kozak.
-
Strong team selected then.

I hope there's as much fuss made over every other manager who will have dropped players as has been made over Lambert then for lying to their fans expecting a full strength line up today. I imagine many sides will be holding post Europa league style dinners.
-
I fancy Albie and the Beast to rip their Sheffield scrotums to shreds.

If he's given a straight bat answer there'd have been all the usual 'oh look he said we go again' crap, damned if you do damned if you don't, In which case I'd rather he tell it as it is than do the Mourinho/Pellegrini shit of saying they're taking it seriously whilst resting half a team.
-

Good grief man. He gave an unguarded answer which he probably later regretted and caused a short-lived fuss over the proper level of respect for the best cup competition in the world. People make mistakes sometimes.

Fair enough but if he's going to do that I want him to say after our next game "Why can't that bunch of useless ****** pass the fucking ball to one another?"
-
No Gary Gardner :(

Yes, that would be excellent for our young squad. There was a manager in the league recently who liked to single out his players for bad performances, how many games did he last again?
-
On topic, happy with that team, Weimann and Benteke both need a goal so happy for them to start. I'd like to see 2 of donacien, tonev and Helenius get at least half an hour unless we're in trouble.
-
Any streams for this?
-

Whereas 'we could do without the extra few games in the FA Cup (and remaining chance of silverware this season) because we want to stay in the Premier League' is really going to lift everyone's spirits. Jeez.

No pictures as I'm at work.
Commentary from 5Live Sports Extra
Vitriol, whingeing, ecstacy and inane bollocks about biscuits from you fuckers on here.
Let's do it.
-
I love the team selection. Makes a mockery out of the crap that's been written in the media. Anyway, come on Villa. Lets do this.
-
Bizarrely I would have preferred to see a less strong team. Would've liked to see Helenius and Donacien get some game time.
-
Hoolahan not in the Norwich team.
-
Looks like a full-strength Sheffield Utd team based on the players they've used for their last couple of matches.
-
Bizarrely I would have preferred to see a less strong team. Would've liked to see Helenius and Donacien get some game time.
I suggest those two play against Arsenal.
-
Strong team selected then.
I think it says more about the strength of the squad, not sure he had that much choice without giving up the game and coming in for a boa load of criticism.
Our second string are no where near good enough to take on the Blades.
-
Strong side. Play Weimann just off Benteke? 4-2-3-1? I'd like to see Andy playing through the middle because he's bobbins out wide and it's only adding to his lack of confidence.
Helenius needs a good 30 minutes in this one too.
-
Nobody got a stream? Can't find one anywhere ffs.
-

That's how interpreted it. Many others didn't.
-
Good strong side out,hopefully see a few home goals scored

That's how interpreted it. Many others didn't.
To be fair, it's not unreasonable to infer from what he said that he'd rest players from the FA Cup to save them for the league. That's the obvious conclusion. To see today that he hasn't done so is a) great, and b) makes me wonder, as I said, whether he changed his mind over the last couple of days.

Who have just described a cross by the Bulgarian Tonev. Er, thought he was on the bench?
Also mentioned backnia, think that's Bacuna?
-
Great turn out from them. Very poor for us. Game very slow and VP quiet.

Tonev is on for Baker who injured himself in the warm-up.
-
Oh, I see he is playing, was duff info on bbc website
-
Tonev in for Baker, Lowton to CB and Gardner now on the bench.
-
I'd be very surprised if we're playing 352. What - Lowton Clark and Luna as a back three and Tonev as a wing back? Can't see that at all
-
How come Tonev started, thought he was on bench!!!!
No Baker is there???
-
Commentator on 5 Live extra reckons we're playing 3-5-2
No
-
Anyone got an idea how we're lining up. I'm struggling to work out a logical formation based on the players on the pitch.
-
Just heard pulled up in warm up!!!
-
Surely v similar to how finished Sunderland
Lowton cb. Bacuna rb. Tonev and Alby on wings
-
Strong line up. Woukd have liked The Gladiator to start as Kozak is injured as I'd prefer him to start a game like this rather than Arsenal for example.
And what a shock, a defender injured. Will someome get that bloody ladder out if the dressing room!
-
BBC has 88% possession - to the Villa!
-
Looking at the subs bench, surely we should have played Donacien in place of Baker rather than having X players out of position.
I'm quite fearful of the result now.
-
Nigel Clough really is a whigeing twat.

Blades score.
0 - 1

Uh oh

SHite.

0-1
Feck it...

Commentator - Shock lead? Really?
Anyway, bollocks.
-
Oh well.
-
It's the end of the world...
-

4231 seems likely. Steer-Bacuna, Lowton, Clark, Luna-Westwood, Delph-Albrighton, Weimann, Tonev-Benteke.
-
Fucking hell, as soon as Vlaar is out we can't defend.
-
Come on Villa, show your class please!
-
"He had seven years at Motherwell" sounds like a custodial sentence.
-
BBC has 88% possession - to the Villa!
you don't need possession , you need goals! Can't even keep a clean sheet against these!, one attack one shot, one nil!!!
-
Well he has played the first team, so not really able to say down to a weakened side. Centre half is a real must ASAP.
-
Commentators saying it was deflected off their first attack. We're not a lucky team are we?

This is what happens when you only have one genuinely good defender at the club.
-

Indeed.
-
The transfer window is open.
-
poor young Weimann, he even gets in the way now!!
Don't worry we will win this!
-
Another lower league cup defeat for Lambert?
Any sign of any footballing improvement?
-
When did Tonev come on by the way? He'd been listed among the subs when teams were announced earlier but he's being mentioned in the match reports.
-
Cannot. Break. Down. Any. Defence.
-
In for baker who is injured
-

Baker injured pre match.

Over an hour to go yet - too soon to panic.
-
In for baker who is injured
Cheers. Was that before kickoff? I missed the first 5 mins of com.
-
We haven't got behind their back 4 yet, 25 minutes, Premier League vs League 1.
-

Cheers. Was that before kickoff? I missed the first 5 mins of com.
See page 5 of this thread.
-
Have we had a shot yet?
-
A deflected goal. We'll get some good luck soon.
-
We're getting pelters on Football First.
"There's rows of empty seats at Villa Park, we know how they feel about the FA Cup here...."
Tossers.
-
"we'll be fine" "we'll go again"
-
Seems we are creating little - poor opening 30 minutes.
-
dust us down and go again
-
Can't find a way through a League 1 defence.
-
Sounds poor so far,never do anything easy do we??
-
Sounds brilliant as usual.
-
Can't find a way through a League 1 defence.
You talking about them or us?
-
It's getting to the point now where I would genuinely not bet on us to beat anyone.
-
30 minutes without a shot on goal
-

Well, we're not popular at the moment, but even we can't stand us right now. Metaphorically, being Villa is a bit like all your mates gently slagging your girlfriend off and you haven't had a shag in, well quite a few months.
All you can do is drink.
-
Clark booked again.
-
It's getting to the point now where I would genuinely not bet on us to beat anyone.
Well our lack of creativity appears to be completely chronic.
-
Tonev must be the first player ever who, when he gets the ball 25 yards out, makes the crowd go "Don't shooooooooot!"
-
Can't find a way through a League 1 defence.
You talking about them or us?
Brilliant!!
-
Can't find a way through a League 1 defence.
You talking about them or us?
There's plenty of ways through ours.
-
Will be a few boos at half time if this continues.
-
Is it bad that I bet AGAINST Villa nearly every game now? :(
-
Less than 10 mins to half time and yet to get their keeper to make a save. Come on Villa ffs
-
This sounds absolutely dire, we really are a poor team.
-
Sheff seem to be more likely to score again at the moment .
-
Every time the commentary is about United it ends 'comfortable' or 'comfortably' every time the commentary is about Villa it ends 'too long' 'too high' 'too wide'.
-
let's just get this right , we are playing against a team 4th from bottom of the 3rd division! Right now they are making us look like we are the 3 rd div team here!
Arsenal to look forward to.
By the way we haven't had a shot on target yet. only 40 mins in!
-
I can't argue with the team so what really is wrong down Villa Park?
-
Sounds like they're creating the better chances, though we've created nothing, so that's not difficult.
When's Hoolahan signing? ::)
-
Bent scores for fulham
-
I can't argue with the team so what really is wrong down Villa Park?
Quality of players?
Tactics?
Manager motivation?
Oh, and Bent has just scored for Fulham.
-
Fucking hell I'm getting pretty fed up with this Villa side, we are just desperately poor.
-
Sounds like they're creating the better chances, though we've created nothing, so that's not difficult.
When's Hoolahan signing? ::)
If I were him I'd think twice.
-
One of our goalscorers scored at Carrow Rd to put Fulham 1 up!!!
-
Tonev shouldn't be anywhere near a club like Villa. Shockingly poor player.
Donacien and Helenius should come on at half time.
-
Fucking hell I'm getting pretty fed up with this Villa side, we are just desperately poor.
Toss up between which is more depressing - villa or the cricket
-

Well indeed it's bloody awful.
-
I can't argue with the team so what really is wrong down Villa Park?
Poor Players
Lack of belief, direction and leadership.
Refusal to accept the severity of the problem
-
One of our goalscorers scored at Carrow Rd to put Fulham 1 up!!!
must have bounced in off his arse cos he's crap
-
Our total lack of guile is horrifying. No quality or imagination whatsoever.
-
It's disappointing that we have not created a chance 40 mins gone against a third tier team. I have a feeling that there may be boos at HT
-
Almost half time and we have offered absolutely no threat whatsoever.
-
No one prepared to take responsibility.
-
The thing is, if it's still 0-1 at around 75 minutes, Lambert won't want a replay so he'll probably just leave it and accept defeat.
-
I'm not surprised we're losing tbh, we don't have a clue at home
-
One of our goalscorers scored at Carrow Rd to put Fulham 1 up!!!
must have bounced in off his arse cos he's crap
I wish we could have one that bounces in off someone's arse!
-
There is no confidence whatsoever. Players don't want the ball and so players don't make themselves available. It's the same every game.
Today is the first time in many a year I could've easily gone, but haven't bothered.
-
It's disappointing that we have not created a chance 40 mins gone against a third tier team. I have a feeling that there may be boos at HT
I doubt I'll even need the radio to hear those boos either. I'll be able to hear them all the way down in Buckinghamshire.
-
This is shit again, I'm having the day off, Lambert non football is killing my enjoyment of it.
-
I'd forgot Weimann was playing.
-
This sounds like vintage stuff: square balls in front of United's defence, no penetration, no creativity, no guile, no threat. Pitiful.
-
Worth noting, Sheffield United are not just a League One side, they're *18th* in League One.
This just isn't on, and the depressing thing is that it was absolutely likely to go badly the minute the draw was made.
-
Disgusting. Just disgusting.
The players and manager should be ashamed to pick up their paychecks. But they won't be. That's the problem.
-
We've always struggled to break teams down who are happy to sit in two banks of four at Villa Park, going back years and years. We might have had some shots though.
We need a better final ball played in, but otherwise I'm happy that they seem to be trying to play football, at least.
-

Unfortunately from 40 yards out that becomes incredibly difficult.
-
It does seem as if Villa are fulfilling a prophecy for the subeditors today.
-
Is there a worse home side in the country at the moment, I would not bank on us beating anyone at Villa Park at the moment. We are absolutely terrible... Feel really sorry for the people who have season tickets, because this is just not good enough for Aston Villa.
-
Finally a bit of pressure and an a decent attempt.
-
Fucking diabolical, and that win at Sunderland doesn't cover up how bad we are at the moment.
-
Near miss from Benteke.
Albrighton is apparently quite bright today, as has been the case in recent games, the one player who looks like he might make something happen.
-
Sheffield United´s away form in League one is
1-3-8, goals: 7-19
Why cant we even get a shot at goal ???? It is so depressing, after being please with the line up.
Even the live commentary on the home page says "not got going sofar"...
-
Fucking diabolical, and that win at Sunderland doesn't cover up how bad we are at the moment.
Nope. That game was more a battle of which team is shitter, and Sunderland won that one.
-
Benteke a glaring miss.
-
thank god I went to sleep for the first half hour .....at least it wasn't wasted
-
Benteke missed a sitter. Fucking hell, whats happened to him?
-
Benteke misses a sitter by all accounts
-
Benteke misses from 6 yards.
-
I'd forgot Weimann was playing.
Who?
-
I'd forgot Weimann was playing.
Who?
-
On the positive side, a good chance created, maybe if we can keep doing so we can make something happen.
-
Woeful, a big BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO from me, utter bobbins, hopeless wasters top to bottom.
-
I'd forgot Weimann was playing.
Who?
He's the midget in Jackass isn't he?
-
For God sake Benteke get a fuc.... grip
-
Well done Christian.
-
Boos at half time no suprise
-
Boooooooo- back in 15 mins .
-
I'd forgot Weimann was playing.
Who?
-
Half time report:
Garbage.
-
Villa have 63% possession, but how much was in the Villa half?
Two Benteke headers, the second one a sitter according to 5Livex
Lambert needs to kick their arses at half time, this is not good enough, and a few boos as the half ends
-
It does seem as if Villa are fulfilling a prophecy for the subeditors today.
BLADES PUT LAMBERT'S VILLA TO THE SWORD
-
18 new players in the window please Randy. And a new manager to boot. Not too much to ask I hope.
-
Is anyone actually surprised we are losing we've been shit at home now for a while it's the same old story we really are awful
-
The question is.... I'm winning my bet.
Do I cash out now in anticipation of our barn-storming second half performance where we smash them 6-1?!
:S
-
What I find very hard to reconcile is the public display of unity by Agbonlahor with the players and the coaching staff. If they are so loyal and so committed to the coaching staff and to each other, why can't they deliver on the pitch? They must know that Lambert is going to get slaughtered if we lose. Is their togetherness so fake and so feeble that they cannot rouse themselves from the torpor which engulfs them on their home ground?
-
I can see why Lambert said we could do without the FA Cup. Because it's another opportunity for us to play shit football.
-

5 live extra on tinternet
-
We'll do them in the second half.
-
Goalkeeper for Sheff U has not had to make a save, says it all.
-
I don't think I heard Tonev or Westwood mentioned once in that 45 minutes.
Someone at the club has to wake up and acknowledge that this is just not good enough, and then start to do something about it.

Another reason why we should have re-signed Barry.

check out the prediction on the pre match thread :-[
-
Oh dear. Need to put 5 strikers on and see how that works.
-
I like how they ask for a managers opinion on Lamberts FA Cup comment. Then they ask Martinez. Glossing over the fact that though he won it, his side were relegated.
-
I have to say, with Benteke missing, I'm having uncomfortable flashbacks to the Bradford game. Albrighton seems to have done okay though.
-

Our signings in the summer were poor, but Tonev is probably the worst.

Its Faulkner and Lerner that needs to wake up and get rid of Lambert.
-
Oh dear. Need to put 5 strikers on and see how that works.
Well, if this scoreline doesn't change in the next 15 mins, it'll be time for 2-0-8 and lump it up front again, just like last time we got humiliated by a team of postmen and milkmen on our own pitch.
-
Oh dear. Need to put 5 strikers on and see how that works.
I don't think we have 5 strikers!
-
Sitter missed by the new Heskey , even the old one never went this long without a goal did he
-
I like how they ask for a managers opinion on Lamberts FA Cup comment. Then they ask Martinez. Glossing over the fact that though he won it, his side were relegated.
I am sure Lambert will emulate one of those achievements
-
Just listening to Roberto Martinez talking articulately and intelligently about the FA Cup on 5Live Extra. What a breath of fresh air.
-
I don't think I heard Tonev or Westwood mentioned once in that 45 minutes.
Someone at the club has to wake up and acknowledge that this is just not good enough, and then start to do something about it.
Our signings in the summer were poor, but Tonev is probably the worst.
Shockingly poor player. Has no ability whatsoever. He can hit a ball quite hard, he can run fast. Unfortunately he can't pass, can't control a ball or run with the ball at his feet either. One of the worst players I've seen for us.
-

To be fair they're covering the either / or now - I'd take the cup and relegation, all day long.

One of our goalscorers scored at Carrow Rd to put Fulham 1 up!!!
must have bounced in off his arse cos he's crap
I wish we could have one that bounces in off someone's arse!
Unfortunately from 40 yards out that becomes incredibly difficult.
Another reason why we should have re-signed Barry.
Barry is exactly what we need at the moment... Along with Paul McGrath and Merse. They'd still stand head and shoulders above that shambles! :(
-
Just in. How bad has it been?
-
We can't be as bad in the second half surely,get the next goal and we will be fine (hopefully)
-
Oh dear. Need to put 5 strikers on and see how that works.
Well, if this scoreline doesn't change in the next 15 mins, it'll be time for 2-0-8 and lump it up front again, just like last time we got humiliated by a team of postmen and milkmen on our own pitch.
Oh good, I'm getting tired of all this possession! Let's be fair and let the other team have a play for a bit! :-)
Half time team talk from Lambert! "Hoof it to the big man!"
-
Don't worry folk, we'll diddle 'em sideways in the second half.
-

Its Faulkner and Lerner that needs to wake up and get rid of Lambert.
No chance of that happening.

I'm sure we couldn't have afforded his wages in any case.
Still, don't worry, because all we have to do is sit back and wait for our policy of signing shit, lower league players on cheapo wages to start to pay dividends, just like it always has done in the past when a club does that.

Sorry TV, couldn't resist.

Put it this way, the team 3rd bottom of the old English third division is winning 1-0 at Villa Park where the home team have created next to nothing bar a sitter missed in the last minute of the first half and have had 0 shots on goal.
-
Just in. How bad has it been?
No shots on target .
-
The only shock about this score is that the TV companies didn't stick it on live. Nailed on away win I thought.

Saw Doug on BBC News last night and it got me thinking... Were we ever this bad (during Prem era), during his reign?
Which is best: Doug + Steve Stride or Randy + Paul Faulkner
I know which I'd prefer at the moment. Sometimes it's better the devil you know. :(

I keep saying he just needs for one to go in off his arse to get him going but it's getting to the stage where I'm starting to wonder whether Benteke was just a one season wonder.
There are barely any signs that he is a quality player playing poorly. He just looks poor.
I'm sure he just needs one etc... but I'm worried :-\

No it won't, because Lerner is quite happy to have a 'yes man' manager in charge, who can run his football club on the cheap, and be content to take all the flak that should be directed higher up.

Similar to his Centerback injured before kick off, bring on a winger (or whatever the hell Tonev apparently is).

I'll remain positive but after witnessing the two legs against Bradford anything is possible. The thing that does surprise me is that the media are so surprised at the performance? What are peoples opinions on our home form, Is it purely psychological or very bad management?

This just shows that if we do go down, there is no guarantee we would come straight back, because we are not very good, in fact we are crap.

So in 18 months we've almost got relegated, struggling again in the league, have the worst home record in the entire country, went out of the cup to millwall, dumped out of a semi final by Bradford and now looking like we're going out the cup again to a third tier side.

The commentators on 5live guess 25k. I read that Sheff Utd have taken 6,000.
Certainly the reaction and noise of the fans makes it sounds like Sheff Utd are the home team.

I really wanted Sunderland to be the turning point. Towards the end of the game we were starting to play the football we're meant to, but this has just plunged back to Bradford-esque depths.

If Weimann was a race Horse he would have been shot by now! in a burger by Monday morning!
Unless Benteke was pulling the trigger.
-
Sounds like the fans turned on Weiman
Who?
-
Couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo!!
-
Westwood should have scored?
-
Fucking usless pricks,the lot of them
-
Sounds like it'd getting very lairy down there.
-
Support Lambert all you like, but I struggle to see any way in which this is even remotely acceptable.
It's bad enough when Crystal Palace play you off your own park, but Sheffield United, from the arse end of League One?
Yep it is completely unacceptable and he's amazingly fortunate that Lerner seems reluctant to do anything proactive.
-
So in 18 months we've almost got relegated, struggling again in the league, have the worst home record in the entire country, went out of the cup to millwall, dumped out of a semi final by Bradford and now looking like we're going out the cup again to a third tier side.
How oh how has this man still got a job?
Good Lord, that's frightening.
My thoughts entirely. I think Lambert has gone past the point of no return now. The only bright light on the horizon I can see is that at last we are being linked with some older players...
-
Another decent chance wasted.
-
We need a bit of luck. Come on Villa.
-
Westwood should have scored?
Who?
-
Mr Lambert - you are taking us to new depths - please do the honourable thing and walk away at 5pm please
-
We are there for the taking by the sounds of it.
-
Mr Lambert - you are taking us to new depths - please do the honourable thing and walk away at 5pm please
Who?
-
WE'VE HAD A SHOT ON TARGET! MY GOD WE'VE HAD A SHOT ON TARGET! Only took 70 mins...
-
"It's all happening in the Sheff Utd half at the moment"
Cmon Villa!
-
who?
-
We should be passing it through these guys not hoofing into two big centre halves. Stupid.
-
Should have played the kids...
;D
-
Corner. Come on Villa.
-
avtv talking this up!!
-
At least we pressing them at last
-
Aston Villa FC @AVFCOfficial 28s
#AVFC 0-1 #SUFC - 74mins: Corner to Villa. Piling on the pressure now. #AVFCLIVE
-
Seems odd that one of our few form players in Gabby isn't even on the bench?
-
'Awkward situation at Villa Park' says the commentator about Lambert. Awkward? Understatement of the century so far.
-
YESSSS!!!!!JWF:JSDKFJNSDKVNskdvn!!!! fucking yess!!!
-
Playing utterly gash in a competition that the manager has openly admitted isn't important.
The biggest insult we've received for years?
-
G9ooooooooal
-
Hooray! About fucking time, as well.
-
THE GLADIATOR!!!!!!!
-
FUCKING YES< YES< YES < YES < YES!
-
THE GLADIATOR!
-
Thank fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
At last Helenius......
-
Thank fuck for that!
-
thank fuck for that
-
Get in!! Now we need another one!
Knowing us we'll try to hang on to the draw!
-
Fuck me. Nice one Nicklas!
-
Get in Helenius
-
Inspired sub. PL you are god.
Lucky.
-
Helenius gets lambert out of the shit for another week.
-
Helenius? Get in
Should have started for fucks sake.
-
Helenius legend.
-
The Gladiator strikes!!!
-
Happy about that, can't get excited about it though, now go and win it Villa, after all they are a 3rd tier team fighting relegation.
-
You beautiful big Dane!
-
BOOM!!! Told you The Gladiator was the man.
-
The Gladiator - brilliant substitution by Lambert ??????
Lucky Villa
-
Yes get in there
-
This bloody club take years off your life. United should have scored!
-
Goal to Crouchenius! Good lad. Now let's get the winner!
-
Helenius, thank you mate.
-
Lambert=genius.
"you can almost smell the relief around Villa Park"
-
That was crucial. I'm so fucking relieved about that goal. We fucking needed that for many, many reasons.
-
Never in doubt - UTV
-
Come on Villa, keep it going now
-
Lets kill the, now no messing about
-
Gladiators is back on telly.
Thank fuck!
-
Is Weimann still playing??
-
Sheff U miss a sitter straight away!
We have to get a centre half. Lowton and Clark next week - will be like an England batting score.
-
I'd say he saved Lambert's job, but we all know that isn't the case.
-
I know this is bad but I've just taken 6/1 for Sheffield United to win 2-1.
-
Why do people seem to think Helenius is the answer to our problems now?
It must be getting desperate if that is all we have to hope for
I haven't got a clue, 'cause he's never going to score a goal for us in a month of Sundays. ;-)
-
I know this is bad but I've just taken 6/1 for Sheffield United to win 2-1.
Shame on you….
-
I know this is bad but I've just taken 6/1 for Sheffield United to win 2-1.
You are a bad man
-
Is Weimann still playing??
Who?
-
Saint Nicklas, our saviour.
-
I know this is bad but I've just taken 6/1 for Sheffield United to win 2-1.
You are a bad man
Decent bet that
-
Sheff U miss a sitter straight away!
We have to get a centre half. Lowton and Clark next week - will be like an England batting score.
Indeed, a horrible thought.
-
I know this is bad but I've just taken 6/1 for Sheffield United to win 2-1.
Traitor.
Decent odds mind.
-
Two near misses for t'Blades since our goal?
-
Come on, Villa, finish this shit off
-
Another corner, come on you Lions.
-
Cardiff winning at Newcastle
-
Is Weimann still playing??
Who etc.
From the 5live commentary it sounds like he created the confusion which lead to the goal.
-
Come on Villa just get us in the hat.
-
1-2
-
Fuck me gently
-
Bloody hell.
-
Ha!
-
Well that's fucked it.
-
Oh Fuck off. Fuck
-
lolz
-
Everybody round to walnuts'.
-
Cardiff winning at Newcastle
And at the same time we...
-
I know this is bad but I've just taken 6/1 for Sheffield United to win 2-1.
Traitor.
Decent odds mind.
Great bet..
-
Is Weimann still playing??
Who etc.

The confusion in him passing it to someone in claret and blue.
-
FFS sounds 6/1 was a great bet
-
Ouch.
-
Taxi for Mr Lambert. Please.
-
Sorry but you have to blame Pualie.
-
There you go, you spineless wankers.
Mind you, £10 @ 6/1 conundrum.
-
What can you say?
-
O M G
-
Get the drinks in, Paulie.
-
I know this is bad but I've just taken 6/1 for Sheffield United to win 2-1.
Bingo
-
They deserve it - we have been outplayed by a team 18th in the third tier and they have missed a host of chances too - shocking!
-
If we lose, Lambert should fuck off.
The players have no confidence and only a new manager will change that.
-
What a supprise.
-
Lambo should a go go
-
I know this is bad but I've just taken 6/1 for Sheffield United to win 2-1.
Bingo
I'd forego it if we can get a goal here.
That's how much the FA Cup means to me.
-
Lol. The pity party if we lose will be entertaining :)
-
Lambert close the door as you leave....
-
I know this is bad but I've just taken 6/1 for Sheffield United to win 2-1.
You are a bad man
Decent bet that
take the money now!
-
Taxi for Mr Lambert. Please.
I'm going to out my fist through the tv later when this useless twat says how pleased he was with out effort and how he can't fault any of the players for that
-
Oh fuck off Lambert enough is enough, this is completely unacceptable.
-
Bowery on for a geronimo five minutes?
-
We should go and get Harry Maguire.
-
There you go, you spineless wankers.
Mind you, £10 @ 6/1 conundrum.
You should offer your resignation mr nuts ;)
-
If we lose Lambert should fuck off.
Lerner will not be bothered about going out of the FA cup he's going nowhere
-
Our club is like a slow, painful, festering wound. The sooner it's over with, the better. :(
-
If we lose, Lambert should fuck off.
The players have no confidence and only a new manager will change that.
You know it isn't going to happen though......!
-
Please sack the useless **** now FFS
-
He certainly won't be sacked in January with no manager lined up to spend all that money available.
-
What hurts is the fucking know-it-all media wankers giving it large afterwards.
-
ooh fookin 'ell. Genius eh?
-
What hurts is the fucking know-it-all media wankers giving it large afterwards.
Just don't watch it / read it as appropriate.
That's how I handled almost the entirety of last season and most of this, too.
-
I'm furious with all this. It's so so upsetting seeing our beloved club just completely going down the toilet and worst is that it seems noones bothered about it
-
We can do without the cup says our clueless manager ,looks like he is going to get his wish !
-
Fucking pathetic chairman,manager,players everything
-
Factory of sadness.
-
What hurts is the fucking know-it-all media wankers giving it large afterwards.
you can just see Franksy and Murphy smiling and sorting out their Villa hate!
-
What hurts is the fucking know-it-all media wankers giving it large afterwards.
Murphy and nursey there to witness it too- they will be ecstatic.
-
What hurts is the fucking know-it-all media wankers giving it large afterwards.
Bollocks. What hurts is being outplayed by a crap League 1 side at home, going another season without a trophy, seeing shite football being played by shite players under a shite manager, and having an owner who will do absolutely fuck all about any of it.
-
Or that with our squad we have to concentrate on the league. I have changed my mind about giving him more time.
-
Pat Murphy has ejaculated already.
-
Do the decent thing Lambert and admit you don't have it in you to make it better. Please resign you charlatan of a villa manager.
-
Bigger concern for me is Benteke not looking like scoring. Still don't see the point in playing him today!
-
What hurts is the fucking know-it-all media wankers giving it large afterwards.
Just don't watch it / read it as appropriate.
That's how I handled almost the entirety of last season and most of this, too.
Yeah, you're right. Just to clarify, I couldn't care less what they think, more of Villa's standing. We're a joke right now.
-

Yep that sums it up.
-
What hurts is the fucking know-it-all media wankers giving it large afterwards.
Missing ITV's apalling highlights coverage will be one silver lining in this very dark cloud.
-
Clough has clearly out thought Lambert, but it doesn't take a genius to out think Lambert's tactics
-
Do the decent thing Lambert and admit you don't have it in you to make it better. Please resign you charlatan of a villa manager.
Do you trust Faulkner and Lerner to find the right man to replace him?
-
Pat Murphy has ejaculated already.
Him and Neil Moxley are currently sat, embracing in a pool of semen in the press box.
-
Genuinely think Lambert or Lerner won't lose a minute of sleep about losing today.
-
Fair play to them - hey have been the better team .
-
Do the decent thing Lambert and admit you don't have it in you to make it better. Please resign you charlatan of a villa manager.
Do you trust Faulkner and Lerner to find the right man to replace him?
Nope but frankly we can't get much worse.

Touché, sadly.
-
Err, this is not good. The wife and in-laws are all Blades fans. This is not good at all.
-
Delph booked again. Fucking awful.
-
Can't wait for Lambert 'it took a really good goal to beat us today, I can't fault the player's effort, we're missing some big players, we were right in it to the end, blah blah blah'
I'm a bit sick of this.
I can take a cupset when you've played well and they have taken their chances, but we're getting outplayed by whoever we play recently. Tactics are all wrong, square pegs in round holes.
-
This is really bad, our club is being driven into the depths of despair!
-
Fucking hell. Listening on BBC Sheffield as well, they are loving it, doing my head in.
-
The sad thing is this isn't even a shock
-
Listening on Radio Sheff and they are actually now taking the piss, "How is this team going to stop up, playing like this"
-
Ha, we could be the most gutless, dullest, uninspiring team in England
-
Err, this is not good. The wife and in-laws are all Blades fans. This is not good at all.
Night out on the Eccy Road tonight Drummond?
-
Clough has clearly out thought Lambert, but it doesn't take a genius to out think Lambert's tactics
An ostrich could out-think Lambert.
-
Greg Abbott reckons we're in the "last steaks saloon".
-

Do you trust Faulkner and Lerner to find the right man to replace him?
Nope but frankly we can't get much worse.
And yet we consistently do each time.
-
If I didn't support us, I'd want us to go down.
-
we just hooooofed it to who? - No one!
-
Another yellow card for Delph Headless chicken !
-
good bunch of lads
-
Genuinely think Lambert or Lerner won't lose a minute of sleep about losing today.
No chance until relegation is staring them in the face and all the revenue they'll lose by being relegated
-
He has not even brought on late subs to have a go. Humiliating surrender.
-
Oh no. 4 more minutes of this torture.
-
Err, this is not good. The wife and in-laws are all Blades fans. This is not good at all.
Ditto. I'm considering my options.
-
His home record in reality makes the job untenable. But he will survive.
-
If I didn't support us, I'd want us to go down.
Yep we're very much in Mcleish territory now.
-
Lambert should just fucking quit tonight, straight after this match.
Absolutely unforgivable
-
I'm so fucking fed up of this shite.
-
Can't fault the players?
Who can you fault then Mr Lambert?
-
He has not even brought on late subs to have a go. Humiliating surrender.
He'd rather lose than have a replay.
-
It's piss poor
-
we just hooooofed it to who? - No one!
who?
-
Fuck off Lambert, fuck off Culverhouse, fuck off Faulkner and fuck off Lerner. As if things haven't been shit enough we've now been outplayed at home by a team 18th two divisions below us.
-
Why no other subs? Jeeze.
-
Awful.Not good enough.
-
Can't fault the players?
Who can you fault then Mr Lambert?
Good point that
-
Listening on Radio Sheff and they are actually now taking the piss, "How is this team going to stop up, playing like this"
I would say that is more of an astute observation rather than taking the piss. All though to be honest, you don't have to be that astute to see us 'play' football and ask that question.
-
Clough has clearly out thought Lambert, but it doesn't take a genius to out think Lambert's tactics
Really is depressing. Clough's a clever manager, he's slightly below the level he should be at. Lambert is well above the level he should be at.
That kind of says what sort of state we're in.
-
His home record in reality makes the job untenable. But he will survive.
Exactly, how has this man still got a job? Awful,just awful
-
Can't fault the players?
Who can you fault then Mr Lambert?
Uh.... Mr Lerner perhaps?
-
last one out turn the lights off
-
O well another miserable Saturday night to come,fucking joke these last few years have been
-
Well at least a relegation battle means our season isn't over in January.........
-
Can it get more depressing?
Watch this space.
-
Lambert will be gone by May, whatever happens between now and then. Season ticket sales will set his fate.
-
Lambert is the one who has bought and coached them.
-
Dribbler so so true
-
Can't fault the players?
Who can you fault then Mr Lambert?
Uh.... Mr Lerner perhaps?
All of them. We're in a right fucking mess. That said in some regards the players can't help not being good enough. Most of these signings shouldn't be anywhere near a club like Villa. It's pathetic.
-

Not particularly no but I don't understand why you'd suffer a festering wound that will kill you because you are scared of the dodgy surgeons you have. Lambert will waste more money and most of his donkeys will need replacing anyway when a new guy takes over. I see no point keeping him, he is building nothing, their e is no plan or project, it is all just a cop out from explaining how bad we are on the pitch. Lambert will relegate us eventually.
-
Err, this is not good. The wife and in-laws are all Blades fans. This is not good at all.

Night in. Though that is not going to be good either. I'm fucked.

Terrible. Truly terrible.

Spot on
-
MK Dons are not far from me and have fought hard at Wigan. Might start supporting them for some relief.
-
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
we just hooooofed it to who? - No one!
who?
Whom.
-
over!!!!!!!! and out!
-
Right, well. Thanks for the company everyone.
-
Benteke missed two sitters as well apparently.
Fuck this shit. Not good enough.
-
Palace. Bradford. Millwall. Sheff United.
-
Nooo. Htf did that happen?
-
Nooo. Htf did that happen?
Have you not seen us this season?
-
Despite having a season ticket I shall not be returning to B6 until the ambition returns - Didnt go today as I have only just returned from Holland - so glad I missed it. This manager has been so lucky to dodge the flak after the results against Bradford, Wigan, Chelsea and more recently Palace.
I really wanted him to succeed but his signings have been poor and his team (and it is now HIS team) really are not up to it.
We would be pissing ourselves laughing if this was happening to Small Heath - we really are a rudderless ship.
-
Post match thread, please.
