Villa: Given, Hutton, Okore, Clark [c], Richardson, Bacuna, Cleverley, Sanchez, Gil, Weimann, Benteke.
Subs: Guzan, Baker, Westwood, Cissokho, Lowton, Burke, Grealish
-
Cleverley must have picture of Lambert and Paul Jewell on the bonnet of a car. The only explanation as to why he never gets dropped. And where's Delph?
-
Delph is off soon then
-
Them: Camp, Smith, Elphick, Cook, Harte, Stanislas, Arter, O'Kane, MacDonald, Fraser, Kermorgan
Subs: Boruc, Francis, Ward, Surman, Ritchie, Wilson, Pitman
-
I'm pleased to see Richardson get a chance at left back.
-
Not much in the way of plan B on that bench.
-
Delph not selected clearly so he isn't cup tied. Yet another pathetic spineless decision by the football club
If they do sell they better have someone lined up who isn't scott Sinclair
Tom Cleverley clearly must have it written in if hes fit he starts another total joke
-
4-1-3-2 with Weimann up front ?
-
Small mercy that Baker's on the bench because he always seemed to be one of Lambert's favourites too.
Burke on the bench but no Robinson - is he injured or has he just pissed Lambert off somehow?
-

With exception Cleverley, I like the look of this side. Better balance with Bacuna and Gil offering some creative options in midfield, and Hutton / Richardson capable of some wide attack. Yes its not as strong as it needs to be by a mile, but if they go out positive, get a goal early doors, will feel pretty confident
-

It would appear that his change of heart in joining us was based on a deal where if hes fit, he starts.

Jumped to a bit of conclusion there haven't you?
-

Cup tied
-
Delph is a hugely concerning omission if the intention is not to cup tie him - now, let's think who is left in the cup, oh yes Liverpool....
-
I don't think that is too bad a team tbh.Glad Bacuna has been picked, wouldn't have picked Cleverley, but glad that Westwood and Gabby aren't playing tbh.
Delph going?..would like him to stay, but not sure he is as good as he seems to think.
-
Delph not playing that's weird. Try and score please Villa.
-
Small mercy that Baker's on the bench because he always seemed to be one of Lambert's favourites too.
Burke on the bench but no Robinson - is he injured or has he just pissed Lambert off somehow?
Robinson is cup tied
-
Delph wouldn't get in the Bradford team so I doubt they're after him.
-
Cleverley? Sighs.
-
They have made 8 changes from their last game so obvious where their priorities lie - come on Villa we should be winning this
I reckon it's a 4 2 3 1 at least there should be some movement behind Benteke !!

Weird.
-
Delph to sign a new contract at 14:50.
-
That Bournmouth team isn't their strongest line up by a long way, no excuses for not winning this.
-
Cleverley starts. Oh well, at least Gabby is out.
-
It still wouldn't explain why he's not playing.
-
New Delph contract? Permanent deal for Cleverley? N'Zog gone to Everton?
Yes. No! Yes!
-
Maybe it's Vlaar.
-
It still wouldn't explain why he's not playing.
Maybe he picked up a knock in training, or simply a game off. The latter would be odd as he just missed three through suspension.

No we all know that.
-
Just noticed no N'zogbia either in the 18....were rumours of a loan move to Everton.
Big player announcement is probably some youth team kid signing a new deal.
-
New contract for somebody is my guess.
-
After watching our defensive indecision from balls into our box return when he started against Leyton Orient, Given's inclusion is a bit of a concern. Other than that I think we're looking at the usual flat midfield three set up with Gil behind Benteke and Weimann.
-

Actually there was a bit of a stir about that youth team player staying at Villa recently when Bayern were interested.
-
Cleverley? Sighs.
Exactly my reaction Legion. I promised my girlfriend that when I saw that Cleverley was in the team, I wouldn't become despondent and curse the air blue.
My promise has been kept, but my God, he's a waste of space. Please prove me wrong, Cleverley.

Cleverley got lost on his way to the ground (much as he does trying to find the last 3rd of the pitch) and has been sold to an oil sheikh in Oman?
New Delph contract? Permanent deal for Cleverley? N'Zog gone to Everton?
-
New contract for somebody is my guess.
Extension to Lambert's four year contract?
-
Peter Withe said on fb he is going to the game.
-
Takeover news at 2:50pm?
Ah, sorry, i misread..player news....
Interesting...

-
That's either Ron or worryingly Cleverley. Going by the shoulders I'll go Ron
-
If it's a permanent contract for Cleverley i may cry.
-
I thought it looked like Vlaar.
-
There is a picture on the facebook page of the back of someone's head. It isn't vlaar

Aggregate Ron signs new 90 year lease contract
-
If it's a permanent contract for Cleverley i may cry.
Cue big player announcement followed by boos around Villa Park
-
It's Vlaar isn't it.
-
It's Vlaar isn't it.
If the alternative is Cleverley then I really, really hope so.
-
It's Vlaar isn't it.
Looks like it which is good news of sorts if he actually ever played.
-
If it is Vlaar, why the mystery? If it's Cleverly this is comically out of touch.
-
If it is Vlaar, and if we can keep him fit, it's fairly good news I suppose.
-
Half and half scarf central here. And that's in the trinity
-
A defeat would not be a surprise, a draw would lead to more anxiety because Bournemouth could win at home & really rub it in and a win would just be a relief. Only winning by several goals would deliver happiness. A sorry situation.
-
His skin looks darker than vlaar, but I guess it could be him.
It must be an existing player as that top is not new. It has bobbles on it
Must be Vlaar. I guess other clubs weren't interested in him then
-
The top looks like it has been eaten by moths.
-
It's Vlaar isn't it.
Looks like it which is good news of sorts if he actually ever played.
He's a good defender, just too injury prone. At least with him staying for a few more years our central defence is sorted for the foreseeable future so we don't need to spend any more money there in the summer.
I do also want to see what Vlaar-Okore combo looks like aswell. It looked pretty good there with Clark against Man. United.
I actually think we'll go 3-5-2 for the next two league games so I think that might be why Richardson is in today to give him some minutes.
-
Vlaar signs new contract to ensure ongoing employment for Bodymoor Heath medics.
-
I think its sneijder
-
Vlaar's appalling injury record has probably influenced him to stay and do a Stas/Downing/Jenas/Delaney sojourn amid our well known medical facilities. (excluding whoever set Libor's leg).
-
Collymore reckons it's Delph, which looking at his skin tone might not be far off.
-
I think its sneijder
God damn. Remember when we were trying to sign him. That was a different universe.
-
Delph would be great news.
-
Bloody hell, he's signed a new four and a half year contract. How wrong was I, thank goodness!
-
Vlaar!!!??....the guy in the picture is black.
-
new Deal Delph
-
Delph commits to the Villa.
-
Great news, didn't think he'd sign at all.
-
Great news on Delph signing a new 4.5 year contract.
-
That'll do me. Good work.
-
Game is on R5 sports extra, Sir Graham is the guest commentator
-
Pretty amazing considering state of club.
-
Bloody hell Villa, you pulled that out of the blue. ( shocked )
Something to slightly smile about today before we get beat.
-
Excellent news.
-
Brilliant news, best for some time. He hasn't been brilliant this year but still a good signal of intent.
-
Bournemouth scored more goals in Birmingham this year than Aston Villa. Amazing stat!
-
Which suggests the reason he wanted out was Keane as was reported at the time.
-
Fuck's sake. #gobsmacked as the young people say.
-
Can cleverly bugger off now?
-
Well done Fab. Finally some good news.
-
Me thinks Fabian will get the armband next season....
-
Vlaar signs new contract to ensure ongoing employment for Bodymoor Heath medics.
I never have been able to spell Fabian.
-
Fab-ulous news.
Feel free to use that one Dave
-
Explains why we can't afford any more new players.
-

Tom Cleverley clearly must have it written in if hes fit he starts another total joke
You know how parents keep embarrassing photos of their kids for the sole purpose of showing them to new girlfriends?
-
It is great news. There are bad feelings around the club, ownership and management, but that's a very good day's work.
-
Great news, so why isn't he bloody playing today?
-
Well that's got the day off to a good start.
Let's hope that wasn't the high point.
Oh and to all the newspapers flogging him to Liverpool or Spurs for us.
(http://www.stgeorges.co.uk/sites/default/files/blog_uploads/2012/03/winston_churchill_flick-v-150x150.jpg)
-
Perhaps Delph knows about a change of ownership. Quick, over to TBAR for some conspiracy theories!
-
Great news, so why isn't he bloody playing today?
I have offered an explanation in the Delph signs new deal thread
-
Ex Leeds player Delph must be missing Championship football.
-
Best thing about the Villa all season, after Gil's stepover. Thank you Fabian.
-
Delph, Sanchez and Gil on long term contracts, I like that.
-
Right, fingers crossed, I hope to set a record for the season by watching MOTD two nights running...
-
Fab-ulous news.
Feel free to use that one Dave
Dave is a pro writer in the modern era. I'd go with 'Delphie Sticks'.
-
Well up for this. Feels like a proper cup match. Shame TC got some boos though.
-
Any USA people know how to access Fox over here?
They do not have it NBC Sports
-
Well up for this. Feels like a proper cup match. Shame TC got some boos though.
Decent crowd there PWS?
-
He's been playing nearly two minutes and you can see already that Gil is moving about into space too much. How the fuck the rest of the lads are supposed to pass to him when he keeps moving about, I don't know.
I trust Lambert and his coaches will address this in training over the coming weeks.
-
I haven't been in a match thread for ages, even down the game or watching it at the pub so are we even allowed to ask if anyone has a stream as I think Setanta Ireland are showing it....
-
Not a great start.
-
Hutton started with a floater again ( cue the jokes )
-
Brighton dominating midfield at the moment
-
They do push up very high
-
Have they got an extra man or something?
-
Brighton dominating midfield at the moment
I bet they are. Kicked off without Arsenal.
-
why are we playing Brighton?
-
Close from Weimann.
-
Argh close Weimann!! Come on Villa!
-
Good cross from Hutton, Weimann with the header just wide.
-
Brighton dominating midfield at the moment
All look the same to you, do they, those South Coast foreigners?
-
Unlucky Wiemann.
-
I look at our side and I don't see any genuinely bad players, not even Cleverley.
So why we seem so poor collectively can only be down to Lambert.
-
Delph new deal, a good win, a favourable draw in round 5 would make for a very good weekend
-
HA HA, oh yea....Bournemouth
-
I've just heard the news about Delph. Amazing that's bloody brilliant news, now come on Villa let's win the Cup!
-
A team that pushes up high and no Gabby using his pace to get in behind. Oh well done Lambo.
-
I look at our side and I don't see any genuinely bad players, not even Cleverley.
So why we seem so poor collectively can only be down to Lambert.
Indeed.
-
why are we playing Brighton?
It's the next round. You were celebrating our takeover by Paul Allen and banged your head. You've been in a coma.
-
We so badly need a wide attacking player.
-
I look at our side and I don't see any genuinely bad players, not even Cleverley.
So why we seem so poor collectively can only be down to Lambert.
Absolutely agree with that.
-
SGT "When Bournemouth get the ball they look to go forward".
-
Benteke needs to work harder.
-
I've a feeling Carles "Benny" Gil could become a Villa legend.
-
SGT "When Bournemouth get the ball they look to go forward".
Tch. They'll never get anywhere playing like that.
-
I look at our side and I don't see any genuinely bad players, not even Cleverley.
So why we seem so poor collectively can only be down to Lambert.
Absolutely agree with that.
He's bought well and yet it doesn't translate to the pitch. Yet a good portion of these players have scored some of the best goals we've ever seen in recent memory. If this defence could be combined with the attacking intent and ability of Lambert's first season we'd be brilliant.
-
But a lot of the defense is based around not commiting players forward and having them out of position.
-
sorry guys is this on wm as I can't get a feed in Spain
-
Crivens. What a mess.
-
Bloody hell, that was close
-
Fuck me, they almost scored.
-
Weimann couldn't hit a pigs arse with a banjo!
-
sorry guys is this on wm as I can't get a feed in Spain
It's on 5live extra, dunno about WM.
-
Bournemouth look dangerous.
-
Just put this on, are we back to long ball?
-
strange, i'm enjoying the game
-
fukstix No radio and no webfeed in Spain. Have to rely on your commentary
-
please please please Midfielders, push on and stop coming short when we have the ball in our own half, or on the half way line. It's just encouraging this sideways passing manoeuvre we have perfected
-
Brighton dominating midfield at the moment
I should have gone, Brighton is only down the road for me, bloody hell
-
Got the radio on. It annoys me that whoever the announcer is just campared the situation with us and Lambert to Big Sam and West Ham last season. Yeah he because he had one bad season there, compared with three bad seasons for Lambert. Yep thats really the same ::)
Not a bad game so far, really open.
-
Any streams?
-
sorry guys is this on wm as I can't get a feed in Spain
Do you want me to send you a PM so you can watch the match?
-
Listening to the commentary Bournemouth have made 8 changes from their league side. They're actually playing their second string against us.
-
Cundy (The Sports Bar) commentating on Fox Sports....like him
-
That might be the best thing Cleverley has done at Villa. Good ball across the six yard box.
-
Better there by Cleverley. No one attacking the ball (as usual)
-

-

Do you want me to send you a PM so you can watch the match?
Yes if you could Smirker. Is it a safe steram as I am at work.
-
Benteke needs to get his arse into gear.
-
I'm not sure Bournemouth are taking this seriously. They've got Michael Elphick in defence and they've started mummifying O'Kane's head, for a laugh.
-
Went to cook....has Gil got on the ball yet?
Showed some nice touches, had one very exciting run in to the box earlier.
-
Gil looks good. But we are still weak in midfield!
-
Pretty fucking poor Villa.
-
Great save Shay!
We are just standing there looking like a set of pillocks
-
They just once-touch danced it right to the six yard box.
-

-
All Bournemouth
-
Can't see this being 0-0.
-
Sounds as if they are all over us on the radio
-
I odn't know if I am more shock by the Delph news or the fact Ian Harte is still playing. Will wonders ever cease
-
Oops sorry!
Magnificent quote fail there sir
-
Peppering our goal now.

Bournemouth's reserves , making us look like the championship team!
-
I'm lost in translation. Which is the proper word to define our performance with a team that was supposed to be inferior?
Dreadful? Awful? Atrocius?
-
I still find it amazing that two years on now nobody really scores against us we can't score to save our lives. Who'd have believed that after the way season 1 ended?
-
We're a towering mound of steaming hog's turds, aren't we?
-
Weimann working hard, always moving.
-
We're getting battered now.
-
Weimann working hard, always moving.
Who?
-
6 shots 3 on target for them
3 shots for us, 0 on target.
good going, lambert, good going. I bet we're excellent.
-

Excellent in 0-0 draws.
-
I rate that Sakho at West Ham ( just scored )....he's going to be another Bony
-
Bournemouth fans singing 'Premier League, you're having a laugh'
So are we...except it's not bloody amusing
-
Oooooooooh! A corner!
-
This is truly dog shit.
Made to look second best at home to Bournemouth's reserves
-
I know it is said every game, but why is Grealish not starting??
-
Bournemouth have been coached to play football and have a game plan. Villa are just random hit & miss & hope for the best. Howe is Roger Federer & Lambert is Buster Mottram. Howe is Messi & Lambert is Cattermole.
-
I know it is said every game, but why is Grealish not starting??
Because 'young and hungry' is so last year. Get with it dude.
-
From game to game i just don't see any improvement.
-
They knock it about very well.
-
Thought we started quite well, but now we are just getting deeper and deeper. At this rate we might be hopeing for a replay :'(
-
From game to game i just don't see any improvement.
That'll be because there isn't any.
I honestly wonder whether we do any actual coaching, we always look like we've just been sent out there to make it up on the hoof.
-
Its the closing down and movement off the ball that impresses me.
-
What does Paul Lambert see that we don't? Really?
-
Okore showing good pace, good tackle
-
Thank fuck for Okore
-
fucking abysmal to watch. Fuck off Lambert and your dour awful tactics and attitude.
-
Well in Jores
-
West Ham score and 3 minutes later Jack Woodward tells us it is still Bristol City 0 West Ham 0.
-
really love okore
-
The truly depressing thing is that for the best part of several years now we have had this sort of utter, utter rubbish, week in, week out, regardless of the opposition, yet the chairman thinks it is OK.
-
Twitbert's got his novel out again.
-
What the fuck was that Richardson?
-
What does Paul Lambert see that we don't? Really?
A big pay check to cling on to. He's a shite manager who knows the only way is down after this who's clinging on to Randys wallet for as long as he can until he grows the balls to take charge and sack him.
-
I odn't know if I am more shock by the Delph news or the fact Ian Harte is still playing. Will wonders ever cease
Harte was in the Leeds team that got quite far in the Champions League in the early 00's...I think the team we beat en route to the FA cup final too. Seems a lifetime ago.
-
Bournemouth comfortably the better team.
We look our usual hit and see what happens ragged selves apart from Gil who's got lovely touch and movement which sadly looks out of place in this 11.
-
Bacuna-what does he ever actually do? A shocking player
-
From game to game i just don't see any improvement.
That'll be because there isn't any.
I honestly wonder whether we do any actual coaching, we always look like we've just been sent out there to make it up on the hoof.
Like the use of the word hoof, fits in well with the number of donkeys playing in our first team at present
-
As the commentator just said, shots on target: zero.
-
Twitbert's got his novel out again.
Probably reading the Beano for tactical advice.
-
Edge of the box... not a fucking clue! A shambles.
-
The truly depressing thing is that for the best part of several years now we have had this sort of utter, utter rubbish, week in, week out, regardless of the opposition, yet the chairman thinks it is OK.
This season is especially worrying as we now have this goalscoring problem.
-
I'm lost in translation. Which is the proper word to define our performance with a team that was supposed to be inferior?
Dreadful? Awful? Atrocius?
Fucking Predictable.
-
Did Bacuna sign a one match deal to play for Bournemouth....he hasn't done one positive contribution to villa today.
-
How long has it been since we've scored now?
-
well we look as good as usual
-
I'm still a big believer in our coaches are crap. ( cue the travel puns )
-
Few boos there. Can't blame them. Being outplayed here. Still at least it's 0-0. Last minute Benteke would suit me down the ground.
-
I odn't know if I am more shock by the Delph news or the fact Ian Harte is still playing. Will wonders ever cease
Harte was in the Leeds team that got quite far in the Champions League in the early 00's...I think the team we beat en route to the FA cup final too. Seems a lifetime ago.
He has made a career from brilliant set piece balls, as we may sadly learn to our cost later. Just waiting to hear 'Sanchez gives away the free kick on the edge of the D. Harte lines it up...'
-
There's nothing going forwards. No shots on target I think. We try to build it slowly but there's no invention. 0-0.
-
Bacuna-what does he ever actually do? A shocking player
This x1000
A couple of nice free kicks aside, he is a fourth division player. Zero quality
-
Only saw the last 20 mins but we looked pretty terrible. You'd think we were a league below them not a league above.
-
Welp, 45 minutes in and it's looking like keeping my money in my pocket and watching on a (not so) dodgy stream was he right decision. It is really not looking good for my season ticket renewal :( #FactoryOfSadness
-
Nothing to be positive about. Why can't Lambert disappear? This insistence on giving Hutton the ball and watching him charge up the touchline is embarrassing. Terrible to watch. Richardson? Cleverley? Weimann? Bacuna? They're woeful. Benteke, get your fucking finger out you lazy sod, do something, make something happen.
Crap so far. Booooooooooooooooooooo
-
How long has it been since we've scored now?
TEN Hours TEN FFS
-
Twitbert's a fucking idiot. King of the thickies. We've been made to look like a bunch of milkmen who've met each other for the first time on a team-building activity weekend, by Bournemouth reserves.
-
Bacuna-what does he ever actually do? A shocking player
This x1000
A couple of nice free kicks aside, he is a fourth division player. Zero quality
I've always agreed with that, take away a free kick or 2 and he offers nothing at all.
-
Richardson is fucking rubbish.
For all the "ooh, Senderos looks ace" stuff at the start of the season, last summer's transfer window was fucking disgraceful. As will be this one, no doubt.
-
Did the commentator say a very entertaining game?? Is he watching a different match?
-
I can't take this anymore. I am leaving after the HT challenge.
-
I think this is all a Derren Brown psychological experiment to see how long people are willing to pay money to watch absolutely nothing before they finely snap and Lambore is in on it.
-
I can't take this anymore. I am leaving after the HT challenge.
Very sensible. I mean, you wouldn't want to miss the highlight of the afternoon.
-
did harte play in the side with Gary Speed?
-
And another goal less half. Must getting on for ten hours without a goal now.
-
Just hopeless ..they have 5 men in midfield to our 4 or even 3 at times and we can't do anything,Gil is the one bright spot the rest have been useless.
-
You put Cleverley and Bacuna together and you're doomed to fail.
-

I am on lower Trinity close to centre so it's right in front of me today. A treat!
-
Richardson is fucking rubbish.
For all the "ooh, Senderos looks ace" stuff at the start of the season, last summer's transfer window was fucking disgraceful. As will be this one, no doubt.
Sanchez too.
-
The main thing is the shock is still on. We can still beat these if we stay committed.
-
did harte play in the side with Gary Speed?
I think Speed moved onto Everton by then
-
I know it is said every game, but why is Grealish not starting??
Because he's been a very naughty boy!
-
How long has it been since we've scored now?
TEN Hours TEN FFS
We scored against Blackpool, that was only a few weeks ago.

Sorry, was thinking league football... My mistake
-
Driving experience won by the first kicker. Great excitement. Right I am off. I can't be here when Bournemouth score which they will.
-

Exactly my thoughts. We are still in this and have done really well to ride the expected storm from the stronger team. It was crucial we got to 20 minutes without conceding
-
I know it is said every game, but why is Grealish not starting??
Because he's been a very naughty boy!
By expressing his desire to want to play football?? Good to see that Lambert is dealing with the big issues within the squad...
-

They've moved the target closer to the Holte
-
We have one of the beat defences in Europe and the worst attack in the galaxy. I understand that there is a team in one of Endor's moons that has a slight worse goal record but has played two fewer games.
-
Any idea of the attendance?
-

Haha. Fair play, Aftab. Have a good evening mate
-
It's not working, we're getting battered, they're going to score at some point....I'll leave it like it is
-
Brighton dominating midfield at the moment
And Brighton go a goal down after 2 minutes! Oh fuck, Villa actually are playing Bournemouth.
-
I noticed that Blackpool team we took 88 minutes to score against a couple of weeks ago,let SEVEN in yesterday in the second half. Blood hell we have only scored seven at home all season.
-
Oh unlucky Heal.
-
Ooh an attack
-
Carles should have done better there, better from Benteke.
-
Come on Villa.
-
Any idea of the attendance?
6000 away fans and only about 3 times as many Villa.
-
Prediction on first sub: Gill for Grealish ?
Just to make it clear, this is what I think Lambert would do, not what I would do
-
Prediction on first sub: Gill for Grealish ?
If Heeeeeel goes off and Cleverley stays on, I will be sick.
-
Benny!
-
OH MY FUCKING CHRIST!!
-
HHHEEEELLL!!!
-
What a goal
-
What a fucking goal!
-
I odn't know if I am more shock by the Delph news or the fact Ian Harte is still playing. Will wonders ever cease
Harte was in the Leeds team that got quite far in the Champions League in the early 00's...I think the team we beat en route to the FA cup final too. Seems a lifetime ago.
He has made a career from brilliant set piece balls, as we may sadly learn to our cost later. Just waiting to hear 'Sanchez gives away the free kick on the edge of the D. Harte lines it up...'
He is only 37...
I seem to remember he had no pace 15 years ago. Good job we have pacey wide players who can exploit him...
Get in Gil!!
-
We have fucking scored a goal. A goal. A GOAL. A G O A L
-
wHAT A worldie
-
What a fucking gooooooooooooooooooooal! Carles!!!!!!!
-
GOALLL!!!!!!!!! HEAL!!!!!!! Get in VIlla!!!!!! YES!!

-
Fuckin hell, Carlos, God bless you x
-
Now thats how you make yourself known Get in
-
Now that's a shot!
-
YOU BEAUTY!
-
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
-
wonder goal, totally unstoppable.
-
That's what we missed
-
That's the way to do it!
-
LOVE IT
-
Yesssss!!! gil you little beauty!
-
Charlie , Charlie Hill, Charlie, Charlie Hill.
Get in you boooooooty! Proper Job!
-
Right now confidence please Villa. Carles you're brilliant.
-
Thats what we have been missing all season, go on sir!!
-
Is there anything better than hearing the Holte End after Villa score!
-
Well, that was a bit good
-
What a beautiful man Carles Gil is.
-
Absolutely top drawer that. Brilliant.
-
Get in there my Spanish baby!
-
We reall need an avalanche of goals now.
-
Smash and Grab baby
-
We Love you Gil, it doesnt take much but when you that well what can I say.
-
He must have a foot like a traction engine.
-
Lets hope that this is the start of a special Villa career, and not just a footnote.
-
We scored, now what do we do?????................
-
We scored, now what do we do?????................
Hopefully more of what we are quite good at and not let the opponent score
-
We're going to need two.
-
We scored, now what do we do?????................
Concede. Twice. Usually.
-
Delph contract and a goal, what a day! I feel spoilt.
-
Je suis Carles!
-
Come on Villa.
-
Je suis Carles!
Yo soy Carles!
-
Fantastic goal. Benteke looks bored out of his mind today and I don't think you can entirely blame our midfield for that.
-
cant wait to see that goal again
-
Bournemouths good players are coming on now
-
Goal from using the whole width of the pitch! Joy
-
kin missed it stream down
-
Did Olaftab actually leave after the HT Challenge?
-
Bacuna slows every break up
-
Heal's goal:

Knock yerselves out:
http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30971031
-
what a goal
-
The goal gets better every time you see it
-
Bacuna slows every break up
Apart from The Assist.
-
I want to have it off with Gil's goal.
-
2nd goal at the Holte for Villa all season! And its late January.
-
Looked effortless, let's get another goal quick
-
Bacuna off, Grealish on please.
-
There's definitely a core of good players at this club to work with if Lambert got the sack. Could be an exciting end to the season, Fa Cup 5th round, with a new manager in place of the excitement black hole.
-
Huge sense of relief within and around Villa team. Which can only mean an equaliser.
-
Given what happened yesterday we simply must avoid conceding and having this go to a replay, or worse.
-
I want to have it off with Gil's goal.
If phrases could be listed this would be an easy Grade 2.
-
Score another please Villa.
-
Andreas you beauty, two nil, it's raining goals
-
That's it. We win.
-
Thank fuck for that!!!!!
-
Good goal
-
weiman scores
-
Fuck me its 2
-
I want to have it off with Gil's goal.
I dunno if I'd have it off with it, but I'd definitely finger it. Vigorously too.
-
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET IN, lovely goal that.
-
nice footy there
-
Weimann yay
-
FUCKING GET IN! ANDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
-
Oh yes. It's our year
-
Lovely, just wonderful!!!!
-
Andi, so much better as a forward than a winger
-
Excellent move and finish that.
-
Crikey, that was a good finish.
-
Good lad Andi!
-
we've scored 2, last time that happened was 1897
-
2 goals in one half!
-
2 nice goals by us. We don't say that often.
-
Andilicious.
-
Crikey, that was a good finish.
He was probably trying to control it ;-)
-
its our year thou I am worried about Bradford ;)
-
Get the fuck in Villa!!!!!!! 2-0 Weimann!
-
I really hope Aftab didn't leave at half time. He'll have missed about 20 percent of our goals at home this season.
-
Just need a goal for Benteke to give him a lift
-
Is weimann our top scorer now?
-
Two goals in the same match? Is that even allowed?
Bloody lovely goal, by the way.
-
Always told you AW was a good player ;)
-
Andilicious.
This made me laugh.
-
I want to have it off with Gil's goal.
I dunno if I'd have it off with it, but I'd definitely finger it. Vigorously too.
I'd bum it.
-
I want this to help blow off the cobwebs and help us play with a bit of freedom
-
That's how you use possession football though, you have to be incisive.
-
Isn't that two assists from "Get Bacuna off and Grealish on"?
-

Hutton for the second i think.

lucky
richardson zzzzzz

actually less than 15% ;-)

Whens the draw?

Sorry, yes, read the BBC update wrong.
-
Richardson is NOT a fullback. Come to think of it he isn't a feckin winger either!
-
Just need a goal for Benteke to give him a lift
Agreed. Am starting to worry about his form. For awhile thought it was just lack of service etc.. But he hasn't done much lately. Sure he will come good though.
-
You can all fuck off back to Bournemouth with blankets covering your legs now! Get innnnnn Villa boys.
-
Isn't that two assists from "Get Bacuna off and Grealish on"?

Hutton with the final ball across, but a really good ball from Bacuna to set Hutton free.
-
Arsenal will still tear us an arse-hole...which is more important to me....an arse-hole
-
;
Andilicious.
This made me laugh.
;)
-
The shock is on!!
-
Bring Bradford on , we would surely be up for it this time
-
I have taken a break from marking to check on Bournemouth's goal tally. Am now in shock.
-
I wonder if Olaftab really did push off at half time.
-
We're not there yet.
Could do with another goal, it would be great from Benteke
-
Fresh legs now lambert FFS
-
Have we scored more goals than Bournemouth in Birmingham this season yet?

The shock is on!!
'The cup's a great leveller'

-
Put Grealish on for Heal on 88 so he can get a big suck off from the fans
-
Always told you AW was a good player ;)
Andi Weimann has always been a good striker. He's a fairly shit winger tho' which makes you wonder why our fucking braindead manager insists on playing him as a winger.
-
Whens the draw?
7.20pm Monday on The One Show. Yes-The One Show.
So the balls are being drawn by Bradley Cooper, Tom Jones and Lorraine Chase?

I find his movement around the box is quite good when he plays up top.

The draw after a live sunday match was part of it. Wankers

benteke has been poor
Has been since Spuds for me.
-
SGT says: "Carles Gil, well the goal is there to see, he loves to be in possession of the ball and loves to take people on. He will be a threat for Villa, there is no doubt about that. I have been impressed by him."
-
Classic Villa.

benteke has been poor
Although the win the service has been crap again today

DON'T Villa.

This wouldn't be Villa without a twitchy sphincter at the end.
-
jesus christ here we go
-
Okay, now its ok to defend, Mr Lambert.
-
Excellent pass from Benteke there.
-
How the fuck has Westwood not scored?
-
Westwood should have sewn that up then... Oh and now Grealish
-
Phew, it's over
-
Thank fuck for that, looking forward to the draw now.

Phew!

whoa we've won and scored 2!!!!!!!

I think we all are mate. Hopefully they'll show it in 3D

Silly goal to concede at the death but glad it's over

Give the goalkeeper some credit for a good save. The ball was on target
