Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Clark, Richardson, Gana, Veretout, Sanchez Gil, Sinclair, Ayew
-
Always nice to see a lineup without Westwood. Would have played Okore, Bunn and Traore myself, but Remi is the boss and that's his chosen team.
Come on lads!
-
What I would of gone for. Westwood benched.....happy days
-
Let's hope we can bring on Traore with the game wrapped up
-
Probably the best team he could put out. Fingers crossed it's good enough to get a win today.
-
Westwood should be sent to the moon-the worst player I've ever seen in a Villa shirt. I'd like to see how many games we have won with him in the team. Under 20 I reckon.
But onto the match and I reckon we'll win. Westwood may well come off the bench and score the winner. I'll happily eat copious amounts of humble pie. In fact, I'll bathe in it.
-
Probably our strongest line up under the circumstances.
-
Adama on the bench is encouraging at least - I was beginning to think he'd been bomb squadded
-
We'll win today.
-
Okore on the bench is good news too.
-
Come on boys. Westwood dropped, that's a positive start already.
-
I'm fully expecting 3 points from this.
-
Come on lads. A win, 3 points and something positive to build on pleaaaaaasssse!
-
Just heard the reporter on Talk Sport announce that Villa have made three changes with Gana coming into the side in place of Gueye who has been dropped.

How on earth do these people make a living?
-
Traore in the last half hour could be the difference. Glad he is back. Come on Villa.
-
Gana, Veretout and Sanchez is good, Richardson less so. Need to get Gil linking with Ayew.
-
4-0 Villa, come the fuck on!

;D
-
No Grealish? :-)
-

No, he's just been told that dribbling really fast isn't enough. That if he loses the ball he has fight to win it back, or that he has to track back and defend. A fundamental trait of anyone who plays or has played for his former club.
-
#talkshite
-
Wot No Westwood?! I can only see real problems without his commanding midfield presence & quality dead-ball delivery.
Garde Out; sack the Kit Man; Booooooooooooooooooooooooo!
-
Traore in the last half hour could be the difference. Glad he is back. Come on Villa.
Yes, agreed. With us already 3-0 up he can come on help add a couple more.
-
What happens when Watford play Spurs away.
Does that hashtag thing say #TOTWAT?
-
cant really fault the side picked, good to see Okore back involved too.
aside from Grealish, there is no-one else really who is going to improve us. Nzogbia, Gabby, Kozak not involved.
Watford: Gomes, Nyom, Cathcart, Britos, Aké, Abdi, Watson, Capoue, Paredes, Deeney, Ighalo. Subs: Jurado, Guedioura, Ibarbo, Berghuis, Anya, Diamanti, Arlauskis.

There should be a separate thread for the most humorous you can come up with.

You don't get this over on VillaTalk!
-
Hopefully Remi has watched a few videos of Sinclair and doesn't stick him out wide where his only contribution other than losing the ball is getting back to help our left back. Our midfield should be able to support the defence across the pitch leaving Sinclair to drift into attacking positions where he's actually got some natural talent.
One Charles N'Zogbia is more than enough for any team.

The only TLA you get over there is ITK
-
Sherwood insistence in trying to always accommodate Gestede affected Sinclair's production. He was doing ok earlier in the season but he's more of an inside forward than a winger. Next to Ayew or just behind with Gil he might be useful.
-
Fingers crossed.

I think given that we're probably stuck with Richardson at left back for another 5 weeks, that extra protection for him is a fair old chunk of Garde's thinking. Especially after Grealish's lack of work rate contributing to Richardson getting his arse handed to him last week.

Just said something similar in Pre Match. His, along with Ayew and Gill busyness/ work rate will be key.

Haha. True
-
Anything other than a win today will be unacceptable. Watch Deany score.
-
If that isn't our best side, then it's very close to it.
-

Fuck him. Bluenose thug. Horrid. Decent player, but basically a twat.
-
Lescott and Westwood on the bench. They should be shopping.
At least he seems to have worked out Gabby and CNZ offer nothing although both are probably far from fit. Last chance saloon for Richardson.
-
We still look very lightweight up front. Let's hope they don't get bullied again.
-
I'm not a religious guy but I did just take 5 mins out from cooking post TG breakfast to pray to the Lord for some divine intervention!!
-

It is a big problem. We need some physicality and movement up top in Jan.
-
Hi all !
Hope everyone is having a good afternoon so far - let's see if things improve...!
-
Hope we start this full-on Super Saiyan. Early goal, nerves settled, crowd behind us.
-
Hi all !

A good morning so far in the US. The only advantage of moving here in the last 12 months is I've had more of the weekend to get over the disappointment....
-
Think by 5pm we'll have a better idea if we are up for this......or not
-
Fuck the fuckers.
-
Are we shooting to the Holte first half? Not a good start!
-
Fuck the fuckers.
Wise words.
-
Just heard the reporter on Talk Sport announce that Villa have made three changes with Gana coming into the side in place of Gueye who has been dropped.
How on earth do these people make a living?
No idea, he's just done it again.
-
Are we shooting to the Holte first half? Not a good start!
We'll be 3 up at halftime. The Ultras deserve a pick me up
-
Fuck the fucker fucker fuck ants fucker
-
We ain't going to win this. Even with the ball we can't get out of our own half!
-
Richardson seems to have a sensible haircut. Maybe we will see an improvement as a result.
-
Any commentary?
-
Ayew inexperience there
-
I think it's safe to say, five minutes in, we're not troubling the fuckers.
-
Are we shooting to the Holte first half? Not a good start!
We'll be 3 up at halftime. The Ultras deserve a pick me up
Best not, they'll be ejected for that.
-
Are we shooting to the Holte first half? Not a good start!
Well it's not like attacking the North in the first half has been any good to our home record over the past few years. In fact I wonder what our record is in games where we have attacked the Holte first half.
-
Apologies if mentioned before but this is live on "Absolute Radio". Never heard of it before.
Channel 0107 on Sky.
-
SHOT!
-
Great run and pass by Richards - unlucky Ayew
-
Richards playing like Messi.
-
Some green shoots of recovery appearing...
-
Positive these last few mins - just need a break here
-
About as much a corner as Sherwood a manager that.
-
Good ball and nice run for the chance. Other than that it's a bit like Bill Hicks' JFK skit: back and to side, back and to the side...
-
Great corner from Gil that.
-
ooofff - could have gone anywhere that one.
-
Great corner from Gil that.
With Gomes in goal we have to put good balls in from corners.
-
good start from us here
-
Dobby the House Elf's punches not getting far, we need a lurker on the edge of the box for the follow up shot.
-
We're doing alright here. Not getting utterly outfought in midfield this time.

Is that why he's only wearing one sock??
-
15 in, 2 decent half chances - one from the corner, 1 for Ayew. Going to stay up, got to start scoring them
-
Hutton - FFS - learn to cross a ball man!!

Thank you mate :)

-
Hopefully Hutton won't forget that challenge.
-
FFS
-
Oh dear
-
Here we go again....
-
Fucking hell.
-
Fucks sake
-
hadn't realised that 15 mins had already gone - must be alright as it didn't seem anything like that.
-
Fuck it. Fucking defending of a complete bollock.
-
Decent start but we need to commit more of the midfield forward at times too. Kiss of death, bollocks again.
-
FFS
-
fucksticks.
-
Fuck.
Ing.
Hell.
-
Lovely stuff, oh so predictable, that will be that as we can't score in a month of Sundays
-
Something like a miracle required now.
-
Richardson 2 yards slower than everyone else getting out. Fucking clown.
-
Fuck off.
-
Well, we either step up and show some fucking fight, or we may as well pack it in for this season.
They haven't won here since 1967....
-
Ah fuck sticks
-
Doomed
-
Richardson 2 yards slower than everyone else getting out. Fucking clown.
The new hair not making him any faster
-
got nothing to lose now - balls out to the end please.
-
Just have a go now please Villa, we lose every week anyway, fucking Watford, they're a 3rd Division club a non fucking entity, bollocks to football.
-
Something like a miracle required now.
We are down in my mind already, comfortably the worst team since 86. We may not ever score again the way things are going.
-
Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. >:(
-
fucking scrappy.
-
Relegation inevitable. We're a fucking disgrace.
-
Its looking as though we're beyond saving.....
-
How the fuck has Ayew missed this! Shit me Villa.
Christ.
-
Ayew should have scored there.
-
How the fuck did he miss that
-
Richardson 2 yards slower than everyone else getting out. Fucking clown.
You could say he typifies everything bad about Aston Villa but then they nearly all do
-
Unbelievable miss. This ain't gonna turn out well, is it?
-
holy shit - that was close
-
How did he miss that?
-
Just have a go now please Villa, we lose every week anyway, fucking Watford, they're a 3rd Division club a non fucking entity, bollocks to football.
[/quote
but they're not at the moment
-
You can't be missing chances like that FFS
-
Fucking snake has scored too.
-
How the FUCK did he miss that?! Jeeeeeez...
-
We really don't have a kid in the youth or reserves that isn't as good as Richardson? Seriously? And when we do have a chance some fucking prick just Savo's it all the time.
Shit at the back
Shit up front
Nothing in midfield
GOING DOWN
-
As we go behind that ****** Delph scores with a deflected shot. Come on Villa!
-
I still think we will win this.
-
How the fuck has Ayew missed this! Shit me Villa.
Christ.
Apparently an awful miss by Ayew.
-
Come on, Villa!
-
I still think we will win this.
You shouldn't start drinking so early on a Saturday afternoon
-
Gestede has to be on half time. They have not got a clue about how to defend crosses.
-
I still think we will win this.
You shouldn't start drinking so early on a Saturday afternoon
It's only rooibos, honest!
Seriously, though, we still look better than them.
-
Dozy Sanchez.
-
why not bring him on now ?
-
Worst Villa team I've ever seen. What a shitfest of a club we've been turned into. Shame on you, Lerner.
-
Hospital ball to Sanchez and nearly 0-2. Bloody hell.
-
Our defense is terrifying.
-
I still think we will win this.
You shouldn't start drinking so early on a Saturday afternoon
Why do we play it into Sanchez off balance right on the edge of our own box? Fuck me, load gun, look down, identify foot, pull trigger, wonder why our foot hurts. Thick bastards.
-
Bournemouth and Newcastle both losing
-
So far this afternoon...
Lambert's Blackburn leading...
Delph scores on his first Citeh start...
Oh, and Villa are losing.
-
Richardson actually just ran the ball out there :(
-
Our defense is terrifying.
Not if your playing against them
-
We need something from this game. Come on, Villa. A stroke of luck, we'll take anything.
-
Dozy, dozy Sanchez.
-
Sanchez is having a fucking mare at the moment.
-
Sanchez!!!??
-
Sanchez ffs - lucky to get away with that. What is wrong with him, his composure seems to be shot
-
So far this afternoon...
Lambert's Blackburn leading...
Delph scores on his first Citeh start...
Oh, and Villa are losing.
The former two are irrelevant
-
Sanchez fast asleep again.
-
So far this afternoon...
Lambert's Blackburn leading...
Delph scores on his first Citeh start...
Oh, and Villa are losing.
On the plus side I have blackburn to win on my accumulator
-
At least Veretout was throwing himself at the ball in the box there.
-
So far this afternoon...
Lambert's Blackburn leading...
Delph scores on his first Citeh start...
Oh, and Villa are losing.
The former two are irrelevant
As is Birmingham drawing level at Brighton...
-
I'm really starting to worry we won't even get the 11 points that Derby managed.
-
I think Paddys laptop must have a fucking virus if this is what he came up with.
-
Fuck off gila you counts.
-
So far this afternoon...
Lambert's Blackburn leading...

Exactly. Fuck them, I don't know why people bother talking about them.
-
Our fans sounding really agitated, and rightly so.
-
No fucking luck.
-
Gana has been poor for 3-4 games now. Gil is playing well when he gets on the ball.
Sinclair, another chance. Fuck me we have to score the half chances.
-
How are we completely unable to compete and score goals? It's unbelievable.
-
Our fans sounding really agitated, and rightly so.
More money for another fucking defeat, a load of players on the pitch with no quality, serial managerial appointments of losers, chancers and no bodys. If I ever meet that ****** Lerner he's getting one in the face the wanker.
-
I like Sanchez but he just lacks massive amounts of concentration when he has the ball.....still not up to speed.
It's going to one of those days....the ball won't go in unless we're defending
-
Worst Villa team I've ever seen. What a shitfest of a club we've been turned into. Shame on you, Lerner.
I've seen some dreadful ones in my lifetime, but I'm highly inclined to agree with you. Absolutely fecking disgraceful.
-
Other than sanchez being on smack and defensive terror moments we have actually looked ok
-
The big problem is we are shit and the players know it - they look defeated already. This is a nailed on defeat.
-
How are we completely unable to compete and score goals? It's unbelievable.
because we have created so few chances over the last 2.5 years we have no idea how to convert, Benteke aside.
-
Veretout carried the ball well there - no running off him to give him a pass.
When we run at them through the centre they don't seem to know what to do. Need more of it.
-
Great stop Gomes.
We have nothing going for us at all.
-
nice try sinclair
-
jeeeeeeeez....we've had some tasty shots
-
Great stuff from Sinclair, but thwarted nevertheless. We need a break.
-
Well done SS, that's more like it.
-
How are we completely unable to compete and score goals? It's unbelievable.
because we have created so few chances over the last 2.5 years we have no idea how to convert, Benteke aside.
Exactly and we chose to ignore that when recruiting and planning for matches.
-
Shite corner.
-
Floaty corners are crap.
-
Just a little bit of luck. Please
-
Had good chances to score but we are awful
-
We really need to stop twatting about with it at the back. It's asking fro trouble.
-
Corner again. giving it a good go, but too scrappy overall. lose the ball too easily
-
I feel fucking dreadful. Most matches recently haven't bothered me at all. But this is killing me.
-
Fuck me.
We are cooked. You have to score one these fucking chances. 5 now.
-
clark fucked that right up.
-
Ooooh. We're getting closer. This has been a good response from Villa at least.
-
A goal will give some confidence.
-
Any luck coming our way today??
-
Watford are shit, we can beat them. We just need to believe it.
-
I still think we will win this.
-
gomes is really sketchy - i reckon he'll pay the price soon enough.
-
Playing well.
Keep going boys
-
Any luck coming our way today??
You make your own luck and Villa are having a go at doing that.
-
How do they have a reputation for being so mean in defence? We've created chances against them easier than against most teams.
-
Sinclair, Ayew and Gil are playing well enough.
Need to stick Gesetede in there with them.
-
I really do think that last 'oh so close again' moment just about sums up this season for Villa. It honestly feels like we're cursed.
-
They're just a bunch of sloggers, thugs. We can fuck these fuckers.
-

Well we didn't ignore it. We bought two forwards, or at least that can be considered such and I am sure a part of the plan was to score goals from other departments. We are managing none of that right now.
-
hutton getting the crowd going which is good to see and hear
-
Fucking come on!!!!!!
-
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
-
Fuck yeaaaahhhhhh!
-
FUCKING YES!!!!!!
-
Any luck coming our way today??
You make your own luck and Villa are having a go at doing that.
Very true. I can't remember a time we camped at the Holte like this. Have to remind ourselves it's still the 1st half!
-
MICAH YESSSSSS
-
Come on
-
have that!
-
Yesssssss
-
Now fuck the fuckers!
-
Get in, perfect timing toooo
-
a goal.
a fucking goal.
-
Micah's celebration 8)
-
YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH.....go on capt
-
YESSS!
Keep it tight til HT pleeeaaase!
-
Fabuloius header. Get innnn!!!!!
-
Keep fucking playing this way!!! Show the way Micah, we need more goals.
-
I'm not sure what we do now? A goal you say?
-
Palace 3-1 up too.... I'm fucking shaking.
-
A tremendous ball from Veretout
-
CURSE LIFTED! Get the feck in Mica!!!!!!!
-
Great free kick, had me fooled I thought Gil was going to hit it with his left.
-
oh my life - that was so close to another
-
So far this afternoon...
Lambert's Blackburn leading...
Delph scores on his first Citeh start...
Oh, and Villa are losing.
The former two are irrelevant
Exactly. Fuck them, I don't know why people bother talking about them.
Because the irony of seeing how ex-employees thrive once away from B6 adds to the belief that there is something deeper to our current malaise.
Yet as I type, we score...
-
i've actually enjoyed this so far.
-
It's criminal that we aren't winning this, an actual crime is being committed here
-
Richardson doing a Habib Beye impression there
-
That fucking ball from Richardson, we've turned into Barcelona for 30 seconds!
-
guzan looking pretty comfortable...
-
that was pretty good overall. more of the same in the 2nd half please!
-
The run from Hutton as well leading to the free kick for the goal, Scottish Cafu indeed.
-
I still think we will win this.
-
Ayew has had a decent half for me. The miss aside some good running at times off the ball
Think a goal will do him the world of good.
-
Was the free kick by Gil or Veretout?

If Lambert makes a half decent stab of it at Blackburn, that will make him the 3rd manager in 50 years to do anything noteworthy after leaving us.
Delph went somewhere anyone half fit on here would stand a chance of scoring once a season.
Hardly a turning shit into gold story.
-
We have to win. Bournemouth and Barcodes both taking a beating.
-
If we can keep this performance up and nick a winner, and other results stay the same, I reckon it will transform our season by itself.
-
Was the free kick by Gil or Veretout?
Veretout.
-
Was the free kick by Gil or Veretout?
Veretout lovely floater and a magnificent header
-
it's not the first time that hutton has shown himself to be the one with most fight and drive about him
-
Why are 5 Live coming from Villa Park if their commentary game is Man City V Southampton?

Fine. I'll keep my observations to myself.
-
my text update says:
Shots 10 : 6
On Target 5 : 3
Possession 69:31
Pretty good...
-
That goal (!!) has now given us a platform to come out in the 2nd half & steamroller these buggers. I just hope Remi can keep them bubbling during the break, because W**kford are definitely there for the taking. Fingers crossed eh?
-
Frustrating half, some great play combined with some keystone cops auditions. These are for the taking if our heads are right.
-
One more in second half and close down last 15mins and we got it..but last 15mins eh? I hope remi has done his homework
-

There are 4 other shite teams in this league we only have to finish above 3 of them
-

I agree.
For a team where we are, on the kind of run we're on, we're not lacking in belief or confidence on the ball. Don't see anyone hiding.
Just need to cut out the stupidity at the back.
-
Why are 5 Live coming from Villa Park if their commentary game is Man City V Southampton?
They usually broadcast from a "story" club but the commentary is usually from the the top match as they see it.
-
Was the free kick by Gil or Veretout?
Veretout lovely floater and a magnificent header
Ta. Murphy twice said it was Gil.
-
Please god a win will come today. My heart is pounding with nerves.
-
Playing well. Best of the season. Players seem to have some confidence now. Enjoying the game. Need some luck and three points
-
Frustrating half, some great play combined with some keystone cops auditions. These are for the taking if our heads are right.
There for the taking indeed I think. Big if but we just need to be sensible at the back. Clearing lines isn't a bad option as Watford seem more than happy to give is possession back.
-
if ever there was a "crucial goal before half time" then that was the preverbial

I offered an opinion on your observations.
Feel free to offer some debate in return.
It's not like I said you should shut up or was abusive.

Is anyone at the game. What was the H/T reception?
-

encouraging applause.

I feel fucking dreadful. Most matches recently haven't bothered me at all. But this is killing me.
Same here. The goal managed to lift the clouds though.
Sanchez looked like he'd been paid by some Colombian syndicate to throw the game but looks like he's finally woken up. Gana has impressed me with his drives forward. More please. Hutton continues to wear his heart on his sleeve. Great cross from Vertout and a deserved goal from Richards who is having his best game for us since he joined.
Still concerned with our attack but the goals can come from whoever today. We must win.
-
Is anyone at the game. What was the H/T reception?
To my eternal shame I couldn't bring myself into going today. I hope they prove me wrong.
-
I'm shaking like a shitting puppy.
Don't know if my nerves can take another 45 minutes
-
I'm shaking like a shitting puppy.
Don't know if my nerves can take another 45 minutes
Same here. I've been pacing around the house looking for things to do to calm the nerves.
I just bloody hate this.
-
We really, really, really need to stop fucking about with it at the back. Get that fucking thing as far away from our goal as possible. You idiots.
-
Is anyone at the game. What was the H/T reception?
encouraging applause.
Good to hear. The application was good first 45 and clearly some passion from some of the players especially Huttom and Richards.
-
Newcastle are getting pumped. 4-1 Palace now.
-
McLaren will be sacked next week, 4-1 down now.
Stoke down to 10 men against Sunderland

Don't know if my nerves can take another 45 minutes
Same here. I've been pacing around the house looking for things to do to calm the nerves.
I just bloody hate this.
I did some hoovering at half-time. That's how bad it is.
Desperate times indeed
-
Bournemouth and Newcastle both losing convincingly, can't see anything changing there.
no goals in the Sunderland game.

For God's sake keep things in perspective. You will be ironing next!
-
This Gomes is shitting it. Get more balls over.
-
This Gomes is shitting it. Get more balls over.
Yup - he looks way off today.
-
we have these, totally dominant
-
We seem a bit better this half at passing by to another play onto the front foot rather than just behind them that forces the player to check backx
-
This Gomes is shitting it. Get more balls over.
Yes definitely has the touch of the Guzan's about him.
-
This Gomes is shitting it. Get more balls over.
Was just about to he doesn't inspire confidence. If nothing else changes, Gestede and lots of crosses for the last 5-10 minutes.
-
Watford went from attacking the goal, to being pushed all the way back into their own half and then whacked the ball out of play.
I feel they're starting to lose their way a little.
-
what a fucking chance!
-
This Gomes is shit
Fixed
-
This Gomes is shitting it. Get more balls over.
Yup - he looks way off today.
If you saw the bollock he dropped against Leicester, not just today.
-
Get the second goal and this lot will fold. They are on the point of snapping now. We need to make this possession count.
-
Ayew is a player, he just needs a few breaks and a bit of confidence. And a couple of goals. Today. Now.
-
Get the second goal and this lot will fold. They are on the point of snapping now. We need to make this possession count.
Totally agree
-
Tactical sub there, bringing off Gomes.
-
Unfortunately Gomez is going off.
-
We've played pretty well today but sometimes we get into such good positions and literally fart the ball away.
-
Get the second goal and this lot will fold. They are on the point of snapping now. We need to make this possession count.
injury break has come at a good time for them
reluctant to change it but Ayew onto the right and Gestede up top againt their sub keeper?
-
From a GK sporting cycling shorts and a gum shield to one wearing a short sleeved top..
-
Traore coming on now.
-
Veretout's started to pass the ball really well, we just need to turn half-chances into chances, and chances into goals. With the other results looking alright so far we absolutely have to take this opportunity.
-
I'd bring Traore on for Sinclair to really have a run at them. Create loads of panic in the box.
-
Tactical sub there, bringing off Gomes.
Hardly tactical, BBC reporting a bad head injury
-
Adama coming on 8)
-
traore for gil?
-
Get the ball right on top of this ****** a few times and get physical with him, we need a goal in the next 10 minutes I fear.
-
so to quote heath ledger "and here we go!"
COME ON VILLA! DO THE CLUB SOME JUSTICE TODAY DO NOT LOSE TO A BUNCH OF NEW JACKS MANAGED BY A JONNY COME LATELY RELATED TO A SPANISH CHA CHA DANCER OR WHATEVER. Pardon me for the caps lock. COME ON!!!
-
For Gill?
I think the pace is more unsettling for them.
-
Adama coming on 8)
8)
-

Bit of an odd one - didn't look too bad from the tv footage, but he seemed very keen to get attention so he must have known it could be bad.
-

I think it was supposed to an ironic comment.
-

Looks bad, neck brace and oxygen mask.
-
I wish the ball would get out to our wide men quickly without all this pissing about before they end up getting it. Every time we take on the full-backs with pace & intent we look like doing proper damage. Watford are certainly there for the taking, but do our lot have the nous to open 'em up? I bloody hope so.
-
It would be great if we had another young, talented winger at the club along with Traore.
-
Not good to see a player needing attention like that.
If we have a change in luck their sub keeper will be red carded 10 mins after coming on.
-
Traore will apply the coup de grace.
-

Like a young Gaz Baz used to do in getting it wide to Ash
-
1. Hope Gomes is OK
2. Hope we have it sewn up comfortably before the 10mins of added time
-

It was a joke really (because he's been absolutely atrocious), but made before they brought out the oxygen and the neck brace.
Hope it's not bad. He looked OK when it first happened.

Don't see any irony in the comment
-
Bollocks
-
oh fucking hell.
-
Jesus fucking Christ
-
Bollocks!
-
Only Villa can conspire to kill themselves like this.
-
Fucking bellends.
-
ffs
-
******
-
Well, I have to say I think that might be that for our season.
-
Fuck me.'that break came at a good time for them. Unlucky Hutton.
-
Jesus Christ another own goal.
-
FUCK ME!!!!!!
-
No luck for Villa, Hutton really unfortunate
-
Miracle needed.
-
Jesus fucking christ are you kidding me?
-
Unbelieveable.
-
Fuck, bollocks, wankers and shit.
-
Brill
-
OK. I don't think we're going to win this any more.
-
For fuck's sake, what's wrong with us?
How many of our losses have been nothing less than gifted to the opposition?
-
Curap
-
Talk about killing the momentum followed by an almighty kick in the bollocks.
-
down we go
-
It would almost be funny if it wasn't so monumentally depressing. We are simple abysmal.
-

That'd do very nicely indeed, TV. God, that feels like a lifetime ago now...
ps Oh shit. 1 bleedin' 2. Curse suddenly reinstalled.
-
That's why we're going down.
Well that, and the chimps tea party in the boardroom.
-
If it wasn't AVFC you couldn't make it up. Unfortunately it is and you can.
-
Another defensive mistake
-
I just want it to end.
-
Please let this be the day Traore channels Messi and announces himself on the scene ......
-
20 minutes left to turn around the season in a small way
-
Early in games, late in the first half, early in the second half, late in the second half. Basically we concede so many goals at ll these times, we take too long to switch on. Break in play, we're not at it again and concede again. I hate this. Hutton, big heart, fucking crap though.
-
We're a bad team, and combined with bad luck that is not a good outlook.
-
22-25 mins to go. Come on, Villa
-
Hello, we're Aston Villa. If you can't beat us, we'll do it for you.
-
Why get wound up? It was over anyway u struggle to beat Watford at home and get exited over a sneaky 2-1 win ya bang in trouble. Be prepared
-
Surely not another home defeat.
-
When you look at how hard we have to work to score a single fucking goal compared to how we throw away goals left right and centre. It infuriates me, I'm in a constant rage on match days about Villa.
-
Someone tell remi villa are totally rubbish in.latter part of second half..statistics ain't lies monsieur! Rubbish complet Merde.
-
Why get wound up? It was over anyway u struggle to beat Watford at home and get exited over a sneaky 2-1 win ya bang in trouble. Be prepared
This. Today was never a must win. This team is down.
-
jesus mary and joseph.
-
Hutton flicks a leg at it and it goes into the corner more accurately than any striker could finish. Ben Watson goes for one with Sanchez, has no idea where it's gone and it goes behind. That's how it goes.
-
Praise McGrath for Traore. The only player on our books who has looked remotely like being able to trouble the opposition in any way this season and we've seen all too little of him. He won't save us, because frankly Messi couldn't, but he might just give us something positive to watch.
-
Play better, apply ourselves, still lose.
We just seem destined to go down
-
Where is scarlet pimp?
-
This is soul crushing. It really is. I have honestly developed a hate for football, as completely irrational as that might sound.
-
2 goals in 20 minutes.
-
Where's the urgency?
-
When we go to all-out attack, we actually look more toothless. Presumably because most of the team just go and stand in advanced positions and wait, so the ball spends most of the time at the feet of Clark and Guzan.
-
their right back has got the measure of Sinclair, Gestede for Sinclair with Ayew going left
-
This is soul crushing. It really is. I have honestly developed a hate for football, as completely irrational as that might sound.
I get you, there is not a single thing I enjoy about football right now, even a goal brings the fear that we're only going to find a way to completely fuck it up anyway. Defeat after defeat and excuse after excuse, it's unrelenting.
-
I haven't seen Match of the Day since August.
-
I haven't seen Match of the Day since August.
What year?
-
Should have brought Sinclair off for Traore.
-
Jesus Alan, could you be any more obvious with that pass
-
Lee Fkin Mason has never given us anything
-
This is soul crushing. It really is. I have honestly developed a hate for football, as completely irrational as that might sound.
There's nothing irrational about forming an intense dislike to something that repeatedly whacks you in the bollocks with a sledgehammer dipped in hydrochloric acid.
-
Got to bring Gestede on surely?
-
2 goals in 20 minutes.
Perfectly capable ..for Watford to achieve.
-
it really seems like there is nothing left to say that hasn't already been said. The end.
-
Losing at home to Watford.
Is there anyone we can beat? This is so bad it is almost comedic
-
We've turned into an unwelcome and repugnantly smelling pile of turd that should have been scraped off the boot of the Premiership at least 3 years ago. We're down. We deserve it. It's time this turd flushed and once that dopey American pillock has stopped yanking the chain repeatedly he can wash his hands, dry them and fuck off out the fucking door so that someone with a brain in their head can bring in the harpic and clean this shit heap up.
-
Losing at home to Watford.
Is there anyone we can beat? This is so bad it is almost comedic
And oddly, I don't even know how we're losing. It's almost like we're just losing automatically.
-
That goal has killed us. It was so going in our favour up until that point. A side already low of confidence hit in the face by a hammer.
-
Losing at home to Watford.
Is there anyone we can beat? This is so bad it is almost comedic

We're losing because we've beaten ourselves, again.
-
Fuck.
-
I see the pointless passing around at the back before Guzan punts it upfield to an opposition player is still an integral part of our fabulous game plan. Deep joy.
-
And fuck sake Sunderland have scored
-
Sunderland one up too, oh goody
-
Losing at home to Watford.
Is there anyone we can beat? This is so bad it is almost comedic
Even law of averages doesn't apply to us.
-
1-3. Game and season over. Sunderland winning too.
We won't get 11 points.
-
1-3. Fuck off.
-
Absolutely pathetic
-
Yep we've jammily dodged relegation for 3 years, lost our best players, invested fuck all in the squad and repeatedly made speculative manager appointments. Is it a surprise were heading for the championship?
-
That's that then.
-
That's it. We're fucking done. Thanks Randy.
-
Fuck right off you bluenose ******
-
Brainless.
-
Unfuckingbelievable.
Un.
Fucking.
Believable.
-
Clark is horrific. I'm sorry.
-
Some fuckingbheads need to roll at every fucking level.
-
There you go as predicted
-
That's it. We're fucking done. Thanks Randy.
Who? Oh yes, the twat who doesn't give a shit
-
Clark stuck to the ground, Deeney wanted that ball a lot more
really poor touch from Hutton in the build up
-
He got his fucking wish.
-
Sunderland go two up
-
This is really shite!, doomed!
-
Don't know how much more I can actually take. I hate fucking football and I've almost passed caring about what happens to the club now. This is a very sad state of affairs. It's getting very close to the stage where I'd rather forget football altogether on a saturday and focus on more enjoyable things...like watching paint dry or asking passers by to kick me in the bollocks.
-
It really is our time ladies and gents
-
Unfuckingbelievable.
Un.
Fucking.
Believable.
this... RIP AVFC
-
Clark is horrific. I'm sorry.
For what?
-
Staggeringly shit.
I think I'd just settle for relegation now if we could do without month after month of this fucking torture.
-
Gomes goes off I has a little bet on more than 3 goals. And got them in the wrong fucking net
-
January is all about planning for the Championship now
-
We need an 8 point swing now to get out of the bottom 3.
Not happening.
-
Goodbye Premier League. For some of the time it was nice knowing you, but it's our time to leave you. I think we might be gone for a while.
-
Dead and buried. This is the year.
-
Fuck off Deeney.
Our misery is now complete. Thank you & good night.
-
Still playing as though we were two up!
-
Fair play to any of the Villa fans still in the ground. That's dedication. I couldn't do it.
-
Get Hutton out of my club, he's utterly useless. Scores an own goal and then gives it away on the edge of the box, playing with ten men would be a better option that using him again. Whilst I'm ranting, he can take Sanchez with him.
We are down.
-
Fuck this shit.
My thoughts were that we were sunk weeks ago, but you never know.
Until now.
-
Watford are shit, both their keepers dodgy as hell, our wide players easily get past their fullbacks.
Yet we are 3-1 down.
-
How have we sunk so far? Rhetorical question by the way.
-
Clark is horrific. I'm sorry.
He's been in the side for 5 years now and apart from 3 months last season do not see anything other than a 2nd Tier player. And others think he is good enough to be a top flight midfielder
-
Dunno what to say. So fucking sad
-
I'm actually starting to worry about achieving some record low points total. I'd settle for not bottom at this stage. The humiliation is horrible.
-
pathetic from Clark, typical hard man act getting a yellow just now. Was soft as sh*t when he needed to win the ball though
-
we wouldn't even win in the Chumps League at the moment.
-
Blimey, we moved the ball well, controlled the game and still get dicked.
To many careless players and no luck whatsoever.
-
Yes!"!!!!!
-
Too fucking late.
-
C'mooooooooooooooon
-
Let's face it we're unlikely to win again this season
-
pathetic from Clark, typical hard man act getting a yellow just now. Was soft as sh*t when he needed to win the ball though
Oldest trick in the book. Oooo look I Care.
-
Yep we've jammily dodged relegation for 3 years, lost our best players, invested fuck all in the squad and repeatedly made speculative manager appointments. Is it a surprise were heading for the championship?
We've invested plenty in the squad, but it's all gone on rubbish players.
-
I'm glad we didn't go for Sam Allthepies.
Who would honestly want a manager that can organise a defence and grind out a few wins?
We're going down, but at least we try to play with a bit of panache. Well, no, but at least we create chances. Well we don't but, er...at least there are always goals in our games. To the opposition, 95 per cent of the time.
-
It's all over for us. Wonder who will be sold when relegation is confirmed.
-
That's it. We're fucking done. Thanks Randy.
Who? Oh yes, the twat who doesn't give a shit
Reckless in his complacency; a detached idiot who has fucked Aston Villa good and proper with his naive stupidity.
-
God we've scored two goals, sadly so have Bournemouth and Sunderland, and ours are unlikely to make any difference
-
Well what a goal that is. There are players in this team who in no way are bottom-of-the-table fodder. I think we can thank Tim Fucking Sherwood for a lot of this, really.
-
Come on!!!
Now for that added time I was so worried about!
-
What a fucking disgrace of a result this will be.
-
At least 8 minutes added time.
Game on.
-
Every single person on this transfer committee should resign tomorrow....worst thing to come to Villa since Lerner.
-
How on earth is a game we have essentially controlled resulting in us losing 3-1 at home to a promoted side. I think this is also a new record for most consecutive games in the PL without a win.
Ayew will just make the defeat a bit less humiliating. But humiliating nonetheless
-
10 minutes to get 2 goals
-
10 minutes is plenty of time
-
what the hell is going on .
-
10mins!
Come on Villa, smash this fucking shower sideways to Sunday.
-
10 minutes??
Could this be our Yanited v Sheff Wed moment?
-
At least Ayew has a bit of quality. Him and Troare need to play as much as possible. Otherwise there's not a hope in hell we'll even win a game, let alone stay up
-
Fuck it - come on lads
-
The tennis is exciting though...
-
Gomez going off gave Watford a boost when it should have done that for Villa. We are totally out of Premiership class with these players.
-
Lee Mason has been absolutely terrible. A ref who prefers the sound of his whistle to the game going on.
-
Why aren't we pressing??
-
We've barely touched the ball since we scored.
-
Think I have felt shit through the last 5 years, but their 3rd today was rock bottom for me. Just complete sadness about it all.
Until we stop sides being able to walk through our back 4 like it is men and boys, we won't win a game. Richards and Clark are not up to it in any way, shape or form at the moment.
We need so much at the moment to improve. We need an experienced premier league midfielder, a strong centre half that will organise, Richards at right back, a centre forward. All too fucking much. Bollocks to them all.
-
Gomez going off gave Watford a boost when it should have done that for Villa. We are totally out of Premiership class with these players.
We have barely any premier quality players. We don't have a single stand out player in the entire squad. The break in play gave our complete thicko's the chance to shut off, like we know they always do, mentally they are never at it all the time it's why we concede so many goals early and late in matches.
Basically to save a long post we're shit, lack quality and Randy Lerner is a cock who I wish nothing but I'll upon.
-
I'm spent. I try and be as positive as possible and this is just crushing in every single way.
-
The tennis is exciting though...
Because the players have a desire to win.
-
Come on you shit fuckers score
-
Bournemouth equal, Sunderland winning.
What a fuck up.
-
Dozy Sanchez.
-
C'mon Traore....losing the ball and walking back....show some fucking fight you prick
-
Bournemouth equal, Sunderland winning.
What a fuck up.
Bournemouth fighting back for a point caps it off
And Allardyce has done what we knew he would. He's made Sunderland way more resolute with a squad not one of us would have swapped with at the time of his appointment.
I'm fucking sick of it. And I fully expect Moyes to roll into Newcastle in the next week or two and do the same thing.
-
Meanwhile Allardyce and Pulis will keep worse sides than us up this season.
-
Come on you shit fuckers score
It doesn't matter anymore, scraping draws at home to the worst sides in the league won't get us anywhere. We are down and playing Blues like the Blues next year.
Thumbs up Randy.
-
Without the defensive mistakes we'd be winning.
-
Dozy Sanchez.
One week great, the next a liability. Frustrating bugger Sanchez.
-
Meanwhile Allardyce and Pulis will keep worse sides than us up this season.
There are no worse sides than us :(
-
Fuck me ten minutes and we are the ones defending
-
I can only laugh at Hutton's throw in to Gestede. Sunday league players would be embarrassed by that. Pathetic.
-
The kitchen sink is stopping in the kitchen.
-
Fuck me ten minutes and we are the ones defending
How shit is that!
-
We just can't put teams under the cosh, can we?
-
Well done Barkley
-
Another corner to them. We are a fucking laughing stock.
-
Lee Mason is out of his depth. Mind you he would be standing in a shallow puddle.
-
Meanwhile Allardyce and Pulis will keep worse sides than us up this season.
Are they really worse than Villa, the league table doesn't lie
-
Well done Barkley
Some consolation
-
Meanwhile Allardyce and Pulis will keep worse sides than us up this season.
They're not worse sides though are they. Who in our side would get in the Sunderland one? Richards, Gueye, who else? Same with the Albion. James Morrison is a step up from anything we have in midfield, James fucking Morrison. At the back, the much maligned Johnny Evans, he's much stronger and makes much fewer mistakes than our keystone muppets at the back, man for man we are poor.
The summer signings have been shit. Ayew looks Ok, Veretout Ok, Gueye Ok. £50m and we've got ourselves a couple of Ok players, terrible summers business. Risks a plenty again, we gamble year after year after year and you can't keep dodging the bullets. We gamble because no one involved at the club has a bloody clue what it takes.
-
Do we pay Alan Hutton for playing like that?
-
Well done Barkley
Some consolation
Spoek to soon
-
Well done Barkley
Some consolation
And celebrated too soon.
-
So bloody upsetting
-
Meanwhile Allardyce and Pulis will keep worse sides than us up this season.
Are they really worse than Villa, the league table doesn't lie
Their players are, their team is not.
They can defend.
Garde needs a defensive coach in asap.
-
Well done Barkley
Some consolation
And celebrated too soon.
Fuck me!
-
Godfeckingdamn this shit
-
Lost again.
-
All over, we won't come back from this.
Fuck off Lerner, and fuck off Fox as well.
-
Down.
-
Haha Bournemouth equalize.
-
I fucking HATE Tim fucking Sherwood.

Really have to disagree here. Clark, Hutton and Richardson would get nowhere near their starting line ups and Richards would not get in at centre back. We have a terrible defence, they're all pussies and have no back bone.
-
I fucking HATE Tim fucking Sherwood.
I hate the guys who signed all those players who ain't fucking good enough.
-
I fucking HATE Tim fucking Sherwood.
Oh please. Look at the cause of our rot not its symptoms.
-
I just can't imagine how we can stay up from here. We'll have to go from being utterly abysmal to championship-winning form.
Fuck me. Villa in the Championship. Fucking hell.
-
I fucking HATE Tim fucking Sherwood.
Save your hatred for the clowns that appoint chancers like him. He took the opportunity he was given, there was nothing about him to suggest he should have been given the chance in the first place.
-
Agree 100%
Sherwood wasn't the problem, hierarchy are, pack of clueless turds
-
I fucking HATE Tim fucking Sherwood.
I hate the guys who signed all those players who ain't fucking good enough.
Some of the players look fine. Some of them look rubbish. The team doesn't look to me like a team which should have 5 points going into December, and everyone knows it.
We're not brilliant, but the reason we're certainties for relegation before Christmas is that we appointed, and stuck with, a man who was a parody of a football manager, a joke and an idiot, who couldn't stop losing and blamed everyone without learning. Lerner bears huge responsibility for the long-term collapse, but why are we in the position we're in? I know who I fucking blame.
