VILLA: Given, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Cleverley, Cole, Westwood (c), Sanchez, Benteke, Grealish. Subs: Guzan, Bacuna, Weimann, Gardner, N’Zogbia, Lowton, Calder.
BLACKPOOL: Lewis, Perkins, Clarke, Davies, Orlandi, Delfouneso, Dunne, McMahon, O’Hara, O’Dea, Waddington. Subs: Parish, Eagles, Miller, Telford, Nosworthy, Cameron, Barkhuizen.
-
IMO if we're playing this possession based game at home then Grealish and Joe Cole need to be starting so interested to see how those two do today.
I'd be more confident of those two creating something in advanced roles than Weimann or Gabby.
-
One striker?! Can't we get Nat to switch sides and play up front with Chris? He would feel lich more comfortable playing in claret and blue at VP.
-
Gary Gardner is back aswell, interested to see if he gets a sub appearance.
-
Not too upset with that team.
Even Given should be able to cope with that Blackpool team.
-
That outfield ten would have been my team against Palace
-
Better team. Gabby and Weimann had to be dropped.
-
That outfield ten would have been my team against Palace
Would've still liked to see Bacuna in the central trio as you still need a bit of pace in the team. Otherwise yeah let's see how this looks creative wise.
-
I'm pretty much okay with that team. Hope Grealish does well.
-
Why Cleverley? We know he's shit. Why not start with Gardner? We haven't seen if he's good or shit yet. (Or has he been injured recently)
-
It's our year!
-
Gabby injured?
-
Why Cleverley? We know he's shit. Why not start with Gardner? We haven't seen if he's good or shit yet. (Or has he been injured recently)
It if the manager makes too many changes he gets accused of not taking it seriously...
-
Gabby injured?
Just shit
-
So there aren't any streams for this match? Hosannah and thank the baby Jesus.
-
Westwood back. I'm not his greatest fan, but I'm wondering if we've missed him at all.
Cleverley is probably playing due to an agreement of some sort with Man Utd that he must play(does that sort of thing exist, or is it all in my mind?)
Villa to win 2-1
-
That's a pretty decent looking side to be fair. I would expect with the midfield as it is that someone, probably Cleverley, needs to be breaking beyond Benteke into the box. I think Cole should hopefully dictate things and Grealish will drift.
Lets see if we can create more for Benteke with Cole and Grealish, two players with a bit of nous and comfortable on the ball.
-
Westwood back. I'm not his greatest fan, but I'm wondering if we've missed him at all.
Cleverley is probably playing due to an agreement of some sort with Man Utd that he must play(does that sort of thing exist, or is it all in my mind?)
Villa to win 2-1
I'm not Westwoods biggest fan but I think we probably have missed him, in as much as he's better than Cleverley and Bacuna (in CM).
-
Some much needed creativity but lacking a bit of pace and penetration. Would have dropped one of the midfielders for a fwd
Can see us doing a lot of passing in front of them today, especially if Benteke doesn't run in behind them a fair bit
-
One striker?! Can't we get Nat to switch sides and play up front with Chris? He would feel lich more comfortable playing in claret and blue at VP.
4231 though, innit.
-
That's the most balanced side we've put out all season for me. Hoping Joe Cole can last the distance.
-
Any highlights on TV tonight for this?
-
QPR making us look good at this stage last season.
-
Any highlights on TV tonight for this?
MOTD BBC1 10.30.
-
Would have Bacuna in for Cleverly or Westwood. Better corners/free-kicks/goal-threat. Otherwise glad we're taking it seriously.
-
It's the side I'd have picked.
Is it on the ol' wireless?
-

Cheers sir.
-
Gabby injured?
His last instagram says ongoing hamstring injury. Which begs the question, what does he have to do to get dropped in the league games?
-
It's the side I'd have picked.
Is it on the ol' wireless?
It's on Radio WM but not the online version and it's on the official site but you need to be a paid up member.

Alan Wright co commentator!

The co-commentator on Radio Lancs is Alan Wright, late of these parts.
-
Say what you like about Cleverley but he certainly wouldn't look out of place in the Blackpool midfield.

Apologies - it seems to be the radio lancashire coverage
-

That's only because its so hard to spot if he's playing.
-
I see Fylde have gone one up against Lowestoft.
STOP PRESS: Make that 2-0
-
Sheff Wed one up at Man City

Big score there at the Fylde game.

Painful memories of when we were a proper club to be proud of

Don't think I've ever heard him speak before. I always assumed he'd have a Joe Pasquale style squeaky voice.
-
Any takers on what month our best goal might come? Any reports as to how this is going?
-
Have we kicked off yet?
-
I looked this morning and it said WM was covering the match but on the coverage that I can just about pick up in Leicester they're not doing commentary. I'm now listening on the link the NorthYvillan provided (thanks btw).
-
Have we kicked off yet?
20 mins ago
-
It's difficult to tell from the BBC Lancs commentary because they're understandably much more interested in how Blackpool are doing. Seemingly we're seeing a lot of the ball without doing much with it. So as you were then.
-
My radio stream just started playing country music!

Ipswich one up at Southampton

Big score there at the Fylde game.
It's a big day for Radio Wave serving Blackpool and the Fylde coast.

From BBC Website
PENALTY APPEAL
Aston Villa 0-0 Blackpool
Big penalty appeal for Aston Villa! Right-back Alan Hutton charges into the box and goes down under a challenge from Charles Dunne. Was there contact? Hutton is adamant, Dunne looks sheepish but there is nothing given.
-
WTF? Suddenly I'm listening to shitkicker music.
-
My commentary stream has turned into country music. And western.

15:19
Aston Villa have had 69% of possession so far - but there has not been a shot on target yet. Who says it's boring at Villa Park?
-
Hutton booked!

I should ask for a request. Coward of the County maybe. Or L.A.M.B.E.R.T.
-

#i fell in love with a club but they let themselves go#
-
That 2nd at Fylde was a 'rasper' that nearly 'took the cover off the ball'. We need a scout at Fylde.
-
Any bets on when we manage to get a shot on target?
I go for 38 mins.
-
Have we kicked off yet?
We have Sir. It sounds pretty boring listening to avfctv commentary. We could have had a penalty. Foy is the referee.

Which game ?

April.
-
Mulled Wine being drunk at Fylde. I'll go as a scout.
-
The longer they stonewall us the more hacked off the fans will get.
-
To be honest, Blackpool sound more threatening, passing the ball around with a bit more pace. O'Hara, he of Portsmouth a few years ago seems to be pulling the strings. Fonz sounds up for it. Blackpool have a corner...and a volley 2 or 3 yards wide.
Haha.
There's a commentary update for you.
-
On the red button on BBC 2 they have all the goals and highlights from all the cup games almost live
-
Commentary has turned to some shite country music.
-
Any idea of the size of the crowd. Not a sell-out I suspect.
-
If we score two will it count as a kind of giant killing?
-
We have had our good spell gone a little quiet now. Joe Cole just got a mention. Going deeper and deeper it would seem.
-
I've just put the radio on in the kitchen to try and listen on WM.
Why the fuck are they replaying all the goals from the Albion's glorious victory yesterday?
-
28 and a half minutes gone. We haven't had a shot on target...actually, maybe a header.
-

I hope Cissokho wasn't cheating against footballing giants Blackpool.

We won't be featuring on there then.

Alan Wright isn't as pro-Villa as I thought he'd be. Hoping for a late Delfouneso winner?

Not the most exciting half an hour of football at Villa Park. In fact, it's been dire.

They just had a brief report from VP, now they're back to talking about Albion. Fuck this for a lark.
-
I'm on BBC Lancashire online.
They're not bad to be fair.
-
Lambert will be happy it's 0-0 at the moment. Son of Mcleish.
-
Jack Woodward has not been on live commentaries all Christmas. Probably in the Seychelles but hopefully sacked. Mish mash of commentators per match. All bored rigid by watching our team.

Iv'e set the alarm!
-
Why don't we just play 4-4-2? If Lambert is going to insist on Hutton and Cissohko getting forward to supply crosses, why not have wingers too? Some overlapping, etc etc....
He's a strange manager is Mr Lambert
-
Commentary has turned to some shite country music.
What exactly is playing? The label "country" can embrace a wide range of folk/roots and Americana these days.

Living proof that there are a hardcore of at least 15k Villa fans who would turn up to watch 11 Villa shirts hanging on a washing line.
-
Just got up looked on bbc football, 30 mins in 0-0 no shots on goal, shocking!!
-
Given just kept us at 0-0
-
Tempted by the 7/1 on offer for a Blackpool win.
-
Judging by the photo that's appeared on my Facebook feed, Blackpool should be down to ten men.
-
HA HA HA HA HA, just seen a clip on BBC of the game and just pissed myself, Cole passed it and then put his hands on his knees having a breather.
-
The BBC are mocking us on their live text thing.
How boring we are.

I like a lot of country and Americana. This is the kind of music that I imagine being played at weddings by blokes in bootlace ties and big hats. The kind I really don't like.
-
What odds 1-0 Villa win - goalscorer O.G ?
-
Could do with a half time substitution. Lambert off for some fella in the crowd would do.
-
Cannot even break down the weakest ever Championship team. Woeful.

Cleverley fires it high over the bar........sign him up!

Pushing hard for that shot on target.

40 mins gone and still not had a shot of any sort,at least Blackpool have had three shots ,This clueless idiot in charge will no doubt be happy though
-
Garbage football.
-

I've just changed channels based on that statement :-)

Part of me was expecting us to fire in a load today and kick start scoring in the league....pfft!

I'm keeping an eye on the live prices, and if it is still 0-0 with ten minutes to go, I am going to sell one of my kidneys on the internet and lump the money raised on an away win.
I can just see it happening.

Aston Villa 0-0 Blackpool
Posted at 15:44
Villa finally beginning to look dangerous, mildly perilous anyway. Alan Hutton is on the end of a slick move but his well-hit shot is well charged down. Moments later Christian Benteke shoots wide
-
Boos at the half time whistle.
-
Ian Chisnall the Radio Lancs commentator just described Villa Park as a magnificent stadium. I like this bloke!
He also said it's as quiet as Aston Cemetary.
-
Get in! Two shots, neither on target but the way it's going we're a match for these. I really think we can pull off a big surprise today.
Come on Villa!
-

I honestly think in Lambores tiny mind he was expecting the whole season to continue like the first few games where nearly every shot we had went in.
-
booooooo. Awful. Lambert out.

I like Natalie. When I read your post I turned straight over from the Manure game for a gawp. I didn't even bother coming up with a lie to my old man as to why. "Bloke off the Villa web site said her tits were looking impressive."

We are going to lose aren't we.

Boos at the half time whistle.
There's just no pleasing some people.

HALF-TIME
Aston Villa 0-0 Blackpool
Posted at 15:47
Very, very 0-0.
From the BBC....
-
Half time and we're still in it. If only we could live with the Blackpool's of this world. Still, we can dream. One day. Maybe.
-
The half time scoreline has not caused any ruffles of surprise here.
Of course not. We can swap the chairs around as much or little as we like but the team is set up and trained so badly it makes little difference. We will not break 30 goals this season and no chance of getting near our record low of 36.
-
We are going to lose aren't we.
Who cares? There are big tits on Sky.
-
Natalie Sawyer's chest looks enormous on SSN just now.
I switched over, left slightly disappointed, was hoping for a nip slip or pokies
-
Alan Wright has just said Joe Cole's legs are starting to tire.....its just half time!!
-
I had tickets for this game but I couldn't get anyone to swap my standby shift at work so I'm on call until 8am. I gave them to my brother in law and I'm feeling a bit guilty now. It sounds like the kind of match that makes your eyes bleed.
-
Disappointing that Fylde haven't added to their lead after that bright start.
UPDATE: They're having a half time chocolate log though.
-
On a positive note we still have 11 players on the pitch.
-
Stephen Arthurworrey. That's a Monty Python name surely?
-
Worst goalless spell I can remember was big Ron's first season but even that was only a ten game spell. This is something else. Sky said villa are incoherent and ponderous.
-

For now ...

just back in from a stroll around Bonn Old Town and caught up with the thread. I think that I'll have a nap rather than follow the second half

Miserable cold day at VP miserable cold football at VP. Jesus weeps for all of us!

Betting on Aston Villa 0 is the closest thing you can get to free money these days.
Odds aren't so great but even so, I've turned Ł100 into Ł250 over Christmas and New Year.

Now I know why I've started to have so many siestas at 3pm recently
-
This team doesn't give me hope anymore so nothing is going to kill me.
-
Alan Wright has just said Joe Cole's legs are starting to tire.....its just half time!!
Well at least he hasn't tripped over and ruptured himself.

Always plenty of tits on SSN I find. I'd start with Phil Thompson.

I'm abroad so had to go into my old man's office to get a desktop, then set up a VPN to my work computer just to listen to it. I really am unsure why I've even bothered, if I'm honest.

HALF-TIME
Aston Villa 0-0 Blackpool
Posted at 15:47

Another 45 minutes of a game without a goal. Wonder what the record is for most goalless halfs in a season in Villa history. The clueless one will beat it if he has'nt already!
-
What's more boring. Lamberts voice, team or face? It's a hard call.
-

Team, voice , face.

We go again.
-
So much negativity on here. Look at the positives, we've failed to keep a clean sheet in our last 16 FA Cup matches.
Surely that's something to cheer about.
-
Valencia v Real Madrid has just started on SS5, which concludes its live coverage tonight with Real Sociedad v Barcelona. See y'all tomorrow.
-
I think Lambert is a closet agrophobe, as is not going to rest till the stadium is empty on matchdays
-
Oh well, better get back to cleaning the cat vomit from under the bed.
-
Just read we had no shots on target in the first half.
-

Very much so. I still think we are going to click into gear and tear them a new one. 1-0, probably through a penalty or free kick.

That's a good idea actually. Bring on Bacuna as a sort of designated kicker and start diving around the edge of the box, should we ever get near to it again.
Very much so. I still think we are going to click into gear and tear them a new one. 1-0, probably through a penalty or free kick.

Part of me would like to hear how Westley would have spun this one:
'Blackpool are much further into their project than Paul is. They've been playing shit football for years and are much better at it than us; we're just learning.'
-
What? Westley's gone? I needed cheering up after this.
-
Fa Cup is not important to Paul. He's using this as a training exercise to perfect the 0-0 before moving on to the promised land of scoring a goal. Somewhere along the project.
-
He's asleep
-
I think Lambert is a closet agrophobe, as is not going to rest till the stadium is empty on matchdays
Lambert an agrophobe? I thought he was a fighter?

I know right.

Back to work tomorrow after 11 days away. Never thought I'd say it will be a relief.

Is Westley at the game today or his he too busy working on the Tories election manifesto?
-
I've got the BBC Lancs commentary on and watching the threads on here and on BBC Sport. It comes to something that the supposedly unbiased BBC feels free to take the piss. Makes me so proud of what Lambert has achieved.
-
Fonz just came close.
-
Have taken the 8/1 on Blackpool
Would rather have waited another fifteen minutes but the Mrs is insisting we watch a film which means I'd forget.
-
I've been out al afternoon, just home to find the score 0-0 after an hour.
Can someone just let me know where we are on the shit 'o' meter so I don't have to trawl the thread. Thanks.
-
Penalty!
Goal. Ronaldo sends the keeper the wrong way. Decent game, thanks for the heads up, Ian.

We haven't got a clue.

A new shit-o-meter is on order. The original is bust.
-
I wonder, is lambo 30 odd minutes and a Blackpool goal away from the chop? Surely, surely that would make his position untenable?
-
Have I joined to another feast of footballing entertainment?

Clark booked.........again

Clark booked now.

Can someone just let me know where we are on the shit 'o' meter so I don't have to trawl the thread. Thanks.
A new shit-o-meter is on order. The original is bust.
We are going to need one that goes up to 11

Multi tasking here, got Yeovil on in the background, they seem to be making a game of it so far.
-
I wonder, is lambo 30 odd minutes and a Blackpool goal away from the chop? Surely, surely that would make his position untenable?
Er, no.

Absolutely Stu. This is potentially the last 30mins of our season and were barely into january

sounds like we've had a shot on target

Bradford, Sheffield U, Leyton Orient. No threat to Mr Unsackable.
Add Millwall in there as well but no, the prick is bulletproof.

The question needs to be asked, what level team could we play and comfortably beat? It's below the Championship, we know that.

Well. We lost to Sheff Utd at home and they're in the First division.
We also lost to Bradford away and they're in the second division.
So it wouldn't be too extreme to say that under Lambert we need to play a conference side to win comfortably.
-

I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that a better manager and coach could have this squad out playing and beating any one outside of the top 6 regularly. He is not achieving a sum of more than the parts available
-
You'll get the fonz at 16's to score the first goal.

I think seeing a non-league outfit like Blyth Spartans go two goals up shows even the very best can struggle at times. :o

Exactly. This team is not as bad as this.
-
If we had been 2-0 down to Blythe yesterday at half time I would have zero confidence in us being able to come back into it.
-
Get the fuck in, Fylde!
-
Maybe just maybe they were told at HT to pass to Benteke & he was told to run at defenders. Signs it should work eventually.
-
Get the fuck in, Fylde!
It's been coming for a while.
-
That is the argument which most damns Lambert.
All the stuff about restricted budgets is fair enough, but does anyone really think he consistently gets anything like the best out of what he has?
-
Has Joe Cole passed out yet?

2-1? Watch the last 5 minutes again, not comfortable by my definition.

Leicester also went down to ten men to help us, too.

At least one of the posters on here certainly does.

Proper concede a goal territory now.

Weimann pending not for Cole but for Jack.

Weimann pending for Cole.
For Grealish apparently. Can't say I've heard Grealish's name mentioned much.

Radio saying Weimann for Grielish?

We are all just waiting to concede ain't we? This is what it's come to. And even if we do you know it's not going to change anything at the club

I thought we dominated them and the last five minutes (if you're framing it that way), as their goal, was an aberration.

Is Grealish actually playing? That's why he's on the bench.

Wrexham winning at Stoke
-
Come on ref, you bastard, give us a penalty. We haven't had one for ages.
-
Stoke down to Wrexham so Lambo can say that is worse afterwards.

Stoke down to Wrexham so Lambo can say that is worse afterwards.
Difference is that Stoke probably rested about 9 players

Can't believe I've sat through another 70 of minutes of this shit! It just doesn't get any better!
0-0 against Blackpool after 72 mins???????????
-
Weimann is pants
-
Come on ref, you bastard, give us a penalty. We haven't had one for ages.
We will have to get someone in the penalty area for that to happen and the only way I can see us doing that is if Shay forgot to swap ends at half time.

Yep. Whereas all 13 of ours so far have been taking a rest.

I know how you feel mate. It's so boring. I'm listening to it......can't believe we haven't scored or really put them under the cosh.
-

In theory.

Lambert will say we were tired, excellent, all the usual bollocks. The goals will come, he'll say. Bullshit

This is so sad.

Bloody hell...Lowestoft have pulled one back. Bastards.

Oh for the days when you could only follow scores via teletext and, if you were lucky, radio 2. Finding out goals had gone in about 5 minutes after they had been scored
-
If we score and win, does that make us this weekends giant killers?

That is a fine turnout to see a dogs ear of a team score 0 again.

I think it qualifies as a miracle.

I'm almost cheering a corner! we can always pretend we've scored!

Surely to Christ Lambert can't last much longer if we can't score against these bunch of muppets?
It's soul destroying.

Typical fucking Fylde, taking their foot off the gas. Lambert out.

We'll score again, don't know where don't know when........

Can you just unban Westley for a day to see how he can defend Lambert after this.

Well at least there's mulled wine and chocolate logs.

Benteke saves us again :)

thank God for that!

Benteke scores

Benteke!!!!! Thank Fuck for that.

i have a line of coke for every goal we score man its the best way to get clean shame about the footy

Thank fuck.

FUCKING GET THE FUCKETY FUCK IN

With Lambert there are games where you think to yourself surely today we' ll get a performance and result and it just doesn't happen and you are not surprised in the slightest. Limbo.

Excellent, I hope it is with real vehemence too
Oh, we've scored, bugger

Get in!

F**king get in!! You can't say it hasn't been coming. Next the world!!
-
if he had any integrity, he would resign (written before the goal, but still...)

Was that a chant of We Want Lambert Out in the 86th min?

Thank f**k! Finally!

I was going to avoid checking the score and just watch the highlights on MOTD but it would seem that there won't be too many highlights. As expected we've made hard work of it against one of the most hopeless looking sides in the league.
The Big man pulls us out again.

-
They all count, but was it a good quality goal?
-
I don't know why people thought another FA cup defeat would have been the end of Lambert anyway
-
About time. Still, a bittersweet moment for me, imagining as I was a change in manager.
-
Benteke wins a game on his own again!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get in son.
-
What's that thing called again when the ball hits the back of the net? What are you supposed to do when your team manages to do it?
-
Lambert's still shit, we need to get the Fylde manager in.
-
They all count, but was it a good quality goal?
From the Beeb:
Christian Benteke breaks the deadlock with a cracking goal, completely out of context with the rest of this game. The Belgian takes a cross on his chest, turns inside and smashes a belter past the keeper Joe Lewis from the edge of the box. Beat him for pace.
-
Keeper should have saved that.
-
Lambert's going nowhere.
-
Keeping adding the noughts to your value Christian. We need the cash.
-
I don't know why people thought another FA cup defeat would have been the end of Lambert anyway
Well, I didn't, not really. But one can hope.
-
Ireland scores for Stoke.

What happened, I went for a poo

I'm just glad we weren't playing Blyth Spartans.
-
It's not fair that we're holding back benteke's career is it?
-
About time. Still, a bittersweet moment for me, imagining as I was a change in manager.
Me too, but it wouldn't have meant a change anyway. We have an owner who is equally clueless, quite possibly more so
-

Ha!

Joe Cole last 90 minutes. Bloody hell.

It was a very well taken goal by the beast.

How have Cole and Grealish looked today?
-
What happened, I went for a poo
You should have gone earlier.
-

BBC Final Score and red button showing it regularly. Picked it up in middle of D, shrugged off CBs, hammered it mid goal past keeper.
-
90 minutes for Joe Cole. Next stop: glue factory.
-
Won
-
It's not fair that we're holding back benteke's career is it?
Is it mean of me to say I couldn't care less and hope we hold him hostage until we have a manager in place where we won't be completely relying on him to keep us up?
-
Thank God that's over!
-
It's not fair that we're holding back benteke's career is it?
No, I agree. It's not fair that I support the Villa either. Unfortunately, too many friends and family etc know for me to do a Lovejoy
-
Joe Cole last 90 minutes. Bloody hell.
Hope they have a defib machine on standby just in case.
-

The cash is no good to us, I'm afraid. We would be rightly screwed without the big lad.

Get in. Another team gets shut out. The Villa machine rolls on.

He'll be seen on a mobility scooter during the week I imagine.

I think he would pick up a bit more elsewhere..... He is an absolutely fantastic player .... And is absolutely wasted under this manager

Stu... I'm not wishing him away, I would love to see him in Avila shirt for years to come with a decent team and manager but..... He is far far better than what he is playing with here.... Imagine how many goals he would score at even Southampton for example( not that I believe he would go there)... For the amount of chances/ support he gets here he is unbelievable
