Oh, Dread - welcome back.
-
Now now everyone.
It could be a real hum-dinger.

That's for sure, I can get the hum from here!

-
What a pointless fucking line-up that is.
-
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CguqFPDWIAAYeRb.png:large)
Might not bother going now after seeing that line up.
-
I am going to stay I'm the pub.

Can I ask that Richards is whistled and jeered throughout please? I was hoping to be able to do it myself at the Bournemouth match but the opportunity never arose. Thanks!
-
I honestly don't know why I bother going another waste of an afternoon, seriously what's the point of that line up.
-
Whoever the new manager will be, Eric Black should be told he has no place at this club
-

Consider it done
-
I think Eric Black had been told to provide continuity in his time as care taker manager. He has started off very effectively, and I think this will continue.
-
No Traore in the 18 again,is he injured again or what?
-
The silver lining is the absence of Richardson, yet still no room anywhere for Traore.
-

What a great advert for season ticket sales that line up is.
-
A couple of utd fans at work reckoned rudy caused them problems last week. If that's the case that's probably why he's not starting.
-
Black has obviously been told not to expose the kids to the poisonous atmosphere that will surround the balance of the season.
-
What a truly depressing line up.
Definitely made the right decision to stay at home in the garden.

Thanks Marlon!
-
Ayew might get into another prem team but there is no way the other 10 would. How shit have we got.
-
You give him too much credit. I think he's just a useless wanker TV that picks the egos because he wants too. Bacuna again. Richards. No Traore. He handled it badly but no wonder Okore is annoyed. Black is a fucking clown.
-
Black has obviously been told not to expose the kids to the poisonous atmosphere that will surround the balance of the season.
I do have some sympathy with this.
-
What the hell is the point in that lineup. Eric black, just leave now. Play some players who may actually be with us next season FFS. That lineup got us in this mess, others deserve a chance.
Look forward to the receptions of Lescott and Richards today!
-
At least we will get to see a relaxed Lescott.
-
Hmmm. Eric Black is starting to strike me as a bit of a twat. U would think, that with the season done and the fans in a fury, the best thing we could do would be to play some players the fans do not hate. I'd rather see the youngsters get panned 3-0 that this bunch of feckless twats lose 1-0.
Sorry but what black has done is on a or with Kevin Mac
Boooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
-
Any mega rich looking Chinese or Americans spotted yet?
-
Richards and Hutton alongside each other. What could possibly go wrong? Do Saints have anyone decent on their left?
-
Long is going to have a field day today
-
Feck me, that team would get releg...oh wait
-
Black has obviously been told not to expose the kids to the poisonous atmosphere that will surround the balance of the season.
I do have some sympathy with this.
I would guess any young lad that comes in and did nothing more than run and tackle like he cares, is likely to get a cheer as big as any he will get in the rest of his career.

Unbelievable, all the dross in one team, only short of Gabby.
-
Richarsa in - good to see some phusicality and leadership to go with Lescotts elegancy and know how.
2 truely xommitted pros.
Love em
-
Richards, Bacuna, Guzan and Lescott. This is what the fans want to see - we deserve the opportunity to boo.
-
Bacuna yet again, why subject us to that smirking twat yet again, surely one of our kids could replace him for the remaining games, I can't get my head round it.
-
Ooh. A fresh opportunity to boo Richards. Thanks, Eric.
-
Getting all excited in the build up to the big game. C'mon Sarries !
-
Who are the subs?
-
Come on you Hippos!
-
What a complete moron for picking that line up not even Gestede. God I hate the people running our club.
-
Come on you Hippos!
Post ur creative gif please.
-
Black's line ups are fucking diabolical.
-
Black's line ups are fucking diabolical.
He's doing it on purpose now isn't he.
-
WHAT THE FUCK DOES BACUNA OFFER FFS?
-
Ooh. A fresh opportunity to boo Richards. Thanks, Eric.
Exactly. Him and Lescott escaped against Chelsea.
No hiding place for them today. I hope they get pelters.
-
We are going to get fucking panned aren't we?
-
Come on you Hippos!

That really does make me chuckle out loud. How marvellous.
-
Can't be arsed with this after seeing that line up.
-
Very sad Villa Park. I would say under 25k. Better get used to it.
-
Maybe just maybe he's picked that team so the Villa Park faithful can give them pelters all fuckin afternoon, can be the only reason for that selection!!!
The hierarchy may even have told him too.
-
Is Lerner in attendance?
-
Nearly 0-1 already. Hit bar.
-
Rosenthal.
-
Rosenthal 2
-
Barcodes losing
-
2 minutes in and it's started!
-
Holy god we're terrible.
-
"Joleon Lescott, what a wanker, what a wanker!" being sung rather loudly.
-
We're abysmal.
-
Why does Shane Long always turn up for games against us?
-
1st howler and goal. Richards, 24 mins.
-
I think Eric Black had been told to provide continuity in his time as care taker manager. He has started off very effectively, and I think this will continue.
what keep losing
-
We've had a SHOT!
-
WHAT THE FUCK DOES BACUNA OFFER FFS?
hes hoping Leicester are looking at him ;)
-
The only stream I want to find is the one at the bottom of my garden , a lot more exciting looking at the crisp packets floating along.
-
Apparently BL has said the takeover is close!!!
-

Where has he said that Rich?

long scores

we are so fucking shite
why has black played these wankers
-
We nearly lasted 15 minutes.
That's a moral victory of sorts.
-
Apparently BL has said the takeover is close!!!
WHERE DEAR GOD WHERE???
-
First of what I assume will be at least 3
-
Long scoring against Villa is inevitable as the sun rising every morning.
-
long scores
There's a surprise
-
That goal will be a weight off Lescott's shoulders.
-
Too easy.

Twitter is just a communication vehicle. Ultimately it comes down to did he actually say it? Hopefully he did.

Not that I'm really bothered, but is anybody having trouble getting AVTV?

It was a retweet from another fan who'd tweeted that he'd spoken to Little. Nothing direct form Brian.

You could water the pitch with all the sarcasm that's dripping from the crowd today. The huge cheer for Guzan taking a simple catch was quite funny.

More exciting than the game
-
Richards hurt -Yes! Take him off!
-
Again, it's paper aircraft, each at a cost of around 0.01p, that are providing all the entertainment today, and not millions of pounds of footballing personnel.
-
Who stood still/didn't pick up/dropped the ball/missed tackle, strike out as applicable for the goal?

Lescott was today's kind benefactor.
-
Nothing would make me happier than the takeover stuff to be true. As wrong as Randy has got it you have to still think he wouldn't sell us to any old shyster. Lowering the price increases the odds of the sale taking place and to a larger variety of buyers, but amongst that it should also open us up to more legitimate investors one would hope.
-
It's good to see they're performing now the pressure is off their shoulders.
-
2-0 Liverpool
-
Liverpool 2-0 Newcastle. Cracking Lallana goal.
-
Ha ha. I'm watching the game on the net. I only just realised Southampton had scored. Must have zoned out.

You lucky bugger!
-
Hutton's getting a decent response from the holte
-
Bent and Bannon scored for their respective teams earlier, just to show ex Villans can still find the net
-
Bloody hell I've just seen Sinclair
-
I can't imagine how bad we are. Obviously in the premier league we are off the scale but i don't see any championship or league one football for comparison.
-
Yes, got a corner. Shame Westwood hit the first man. Never mind he'll get another go.
-
WESTWOOD CAN'T KICK A FUCKING FOOTBALL!
-
0-2
-
2-0 bollocks
-
how shit are we
why the fook does black play richards and lescott
why oh why
yes they are getting booed
but come on - they are so shit
-
Lescott needs fucking crucifying.
-
We had a shot we had a shot we had a shot. It was Westwood. Doh 2-0.
-
I'm disappointed as I had us conceding in the dreaded 42 min to HT period. Still I suppose there is still time for that.
-
Lescott running in custard.
-
May as well walk off the pitch.
-
Richards not even going beyond walking pace there.
-
'Keystone Kops defending... ha ha ha...' - one day they'll stop laughing at us. Today is not that day.
-
What is this loo zing? I'm not familiar.
-
Why was Richards so far away for that goal?
-
Phil Thompson was pissing himself laughing
-
Lescott....please just retire.
If he were a horse he'd be glue by now.
-
Hah we were on the attack and the crowd started to get behind them, but meanwhile we were playing a suicidal high line against shane long and bang 2-0.
-
Who was responsible for the back pass?
-
Bacuna
-
Who was responsible for the back pass?
Ayew
-
Some twat on Twitter posted on BBC web site Lescott, Richards and Bacuna are worth keeping :'(
Must be a Nose
-
Did the play the Benny Hill theme tune for that. We are tragic.....
-
39 minutes in, is this necessary?
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p677/davidjcollins/20160423_153954_HDR_zpsb5flfyip.jpg) (http://s1345.photobucket.com/user/davidjcollins/media/20160423_153954_HDR_zpsb5flfyip.jpg.html)
Er, yes, probably.
-
Richards not even going beyond walking pace there.
I saw that too. He really doesn't give a shit.
-
How much is Richards getting paid for this 90 minutes of light exercise?
-
Glad we're playing with that weight off our shoulders.
-
Which of the big babbies will come off at half time with an injury then?
-
The ground's emptying.
-
each to their own of course, but I don't understand why people would leave now. Either sing for the villa and boo the players, but leaving neither shows pride in the club or contempt for the players
-
Wankers.
-
What is the PL record for consecutive defeats?
-
The ground's emptying.
For half time. #loya!ty
-
The whole ground should empty. Funny to see them come back on second half to fuck all.
-
I think that message is directed at the players.
-

Er, yes, probably.
Most of our players cause criminal offence every time they step on the pitch
-
This really feels like a death rattle. What a wretched state to be in.
-
re: consecutive loses record.
pretty sure I can guess who holds it.
-
FUCKING HELL. WESTWOOD.
-
We've scored
-
Westwood lol
-
woo-hoo a goal
-
Bloody hell we've scored
-
It's only bloody Westwood. He shot and it went in their net.
-
Westwood scores.
Described by the commentator as one of our most consistent performers. Sadly he is correct.
-
Ghoal? What's a ghoal?
-
Let's all have a disco...lets all have a disco....la la la la!!!
-
Fuck me. I had us conceding in injury time not scoring. Once again Villa ruin my weekend.
-
New contract for I can't kick a ball please.
-
that'll take the edge off the half-time boos
-
What is this 'goal' you speak of?
-
that'll take the edge off the half-time boos
It didn't.
-
Did he half shin it in?
-
Are the crowd(?) all singing the theme to the Great Escape?
-
I can't see them putting a team out 3 more times this season.
-
A rare goal there for the pointing magician.
-
Did he half shin it in?
He just kept pointing at the ball and eventually it went in.
-
It will be a weight off the captains shoulders now that we've scored.
-
"Westwood offered new 7 year Villa deal"
-
Did he half shin it in?
He just kept pointing at the ball and eventually it went in.
Maybe all this time that pointing has been him practicing his Jedi powers. Congrats, Ashley - today the Apprentice becomes the Master.
-
He lacks Premiership quality but Westwood comes across (to me anyhow), as a decent bloke.
-
Fair play Westie
Why not throw Gestede and Grealish on at half time. Could take off anyone but I'd pick Hutton and Sanchez. 44 facking 2. Leave the likes of Bacuna and Richards out there to soak in the abuse
-
Terrible half and toxic atmosphere in the ground. We are so poor it is hard to believe.
-
Fair play Westie

Are they taking much stick?
-
"Westwood offered new 7 year Villa deal"
Midfield Emeritus
-
There are less ****** on Pornhub than our back four. I detest Richards and Lescott.
I've made my plane at half time. I'm going for the six yard box.
-
Fair play Westie

Yep. His levels probably somewhere between Crewe and the Premier League. I don't blame anyone for not being good enough. That's the managers fault for buying or playing them.
Most surprising fact of the day so far, Gana has more passes and interceptions than Kante at Leicester.
-
What a truly depressing line up.
Definitely made the right decision to stay at home in the garden.
Are you at home or a gnome.
-
Whats the stuff about going on the pitch on the video screens?
-
I don't blame Black for the team he's picking. What realistic alternative does he have. I don't even blame the players. Well, not all of them, it's the same as if I was picked for villa. Ultimately I, and most of them, would just not be good enough and you can't really blame a player for the level of their ability. Work rate, yes, but ability? No. Lescott has been exposed for his legs having gone which isn't his fault but he needs to have a word with his pocket for getting him into trouble. No, its from lerner down that we should be looking at. i hope they do well second half but like just about all I don't really care, but the defence is just shite so i expect more Southampton goals.
-
Bacuna seemed to have an 'altercation' with a fan when going down the tunnel at HT.
-
At least there's one player on the pitch now we can cheer
-
Lescott has a mare and stays on.
-
Whats the stuff about going on the pitch on the video screens?
It's a warning to the players
-
Toner on and Micah Richards off at half time. Is this another headline being written?
-
Richard's decides he not just can't be arsed, but REALLY can't be arsed and goes off at half time.
-
Richards took a knock mid way through the first half; conveniently enough.
how about a rendition of Dublin's Fair City for Toner?
-
Newcastle get one back
-
I reckon 1.4 at full time.
-
I can only imagine the shit Black is having to put up with.
-
Nice lunging clearance from Toner. A 19 year old showing Lescott, Hutton and Richards how to defend.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if our Jolean gets a red card to take himself out of the last few games
-
Which of the big babbies will come off at half time with an injury then?
As if by magic.
Utterly predictable. The biggest of the big babbies. Tosser.
-
What's the odds they'll announce 30k+ for the attendance.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if our Jolean gets a red card to take himself out of the last few games
My money's on Hutton. He had a couple of bites in the first half.
It won't be because he's trying to miss games, it'll just be because he's crap.
-
What's the odds they'll announce 30k+ for the attendance.
It's tickets sold more than bums on seats
-
Tickets sold: 31,000.
Bums on seats: 24,000
Bums on pitch: 11.
-
Tadic looks a tidy player.
-
Ayew off? Why the fuck?
-
Black hasn't a fucking clue
-
Ayew off is an atrocious decision. What the fuck is he doing.
-
Ayew off is an atrocious decision. What the fuck is he doing.
Making sure we lose the game
-
HAHA Black is as clueless as the other gorms we've had in charge. Where do we find them?
-
Who in McGrath's name is going to put crosses in for Gestede? Clueless decision.
-
It's hard to believe this is a game of professional football.
-
Ayew is probably our only saleable asset...he's just protecting him to be sold
-
There's a circus in the town...
-
Toon equalise
-
It's hard to believe this is a game of professional football.
The pace of it is what bewilders me, the tempo is one which I reckon even I could keep up with for 90 minutes, and that says a hell of a lot
-
What do you mean? We're playing well.
-
It's hard to believe this is a game of professional football.

It's like they're strolling around Harvey Nicks.
-
I bet Mane scores
I meant Tadic
-
Well there's another goal.
-
dozy fuckers
-
Gutless.
-
It must be boring. I am getting loads of texts from people at the game!
-
High fives all around!! I won't be happy unless we have conceded 4
-
No surprise that Tadic gets their next goal. Yes there is a sense of the inevitable about how I said that. Sigh.
-
High line from Toner and Lescott was running back twenty yards behind him.
Disgraceful.
-
These wankers are giving masturbation a bad name.
-
oooooo ouch
-
Very effective banners out on 74 despite the half empty stadium. Loud chanting came across on my dodgy web stream.
Sent a tingle down my spine.
-
Guzan you are shite
-
Aston vanilla
-
It's like we're just waiting for number 4.
-
I thought we are excellent!, never mind we go again,
Just one sugar please Matron!
-
If you actually contrived ie sat in a room to plan being this awful you honestly couldn't do it any better.
-
Goal!
-
Westwood again lol
-
WESTWOOD CAN KICK A FOOTBALL!
-
On a hattrick!
-
westwood goal hero
-
Super Ashley Westwood
-
Ha ha super striker Westwood.
-
Great dummy from Rudy to set up another goal for Pointy
-
"Westwood offered new 10 year Villa deal!!"
-
Fucking hell Westy again!
-
Westwood on a hat trick !! Blimey we scored twice!
-
he's got to be worth 15 mill now
-
Club legend.
-
I'm telling you he'll be fine in the Championship and he legitimately gives a shit
-
It's like we're just waiting for number 4.
Two number twos?
-
Yesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck you harry Kane.
-
You do realise this has got him a 5 year contract extension.
-
I like him
-
15 million what? Teapots.
-
Lovely ahem "dummy" from Gestede...
-
Southampton are rubbish aren't they?
-
Westwood for England chant starting
-
The glory years starts now.
-
Jack needs games.
I'd make him El Capitan next season too.
-
I'm telling you he'll be fine in the Championship and he legitimately gives a shit
I think you're getting a bit excited there tbh.
-
Westwood going for the Golden Boot, sorry , the Golden Tit
-
Westwood on a hatrick. Can't believe i'm saying that.
-
How shit must Southampton be?
Conceded 2 against Aston Vanish, they should be ashamed.
-
Guzan is so utterly balls isn't he?
-
Not too late for Woy to take him to France.
-
GIVE IT TO ASHLEY!
-
Ha ha. Paper plane in the dugout. "What future?"
-
Going to get a tattoo.
-
Not too late for Woy to take him to France.
He'll only get lost
-
Some crafty bugger has got a paper aeroplane on Eric Black's seat. Great shot.
-
At least Westwood has put in a shift.
What the fuck was that Jack?
-
Knew he'd score
-
Freaks.
-
Hahahaha you knew they'd score 4 and Mane would score
-
utterly inept
-
Fucking Lescott leaves Mane wide open right in front of him. How fucking shit is Lescott?
-
2 goals. Well done Villa, well done.
-
don't worry plenty of time for Ashley to get 3 more!
-
Fucking Lescott leaves Mane wide open right in front of him. How fucking shit is Lescott?
We had a graphic demonstration of how crap he had become in the FA Cup QF at our place last year. Then Dim Tim signed the fucker.
-
Hahahaha you knew they'd score 4 and Mane would score
We couldn't have possibility only had a one goal deficit It's essential we are well beaten every week
