Line up:
Bunn
Hutton
Toner
Clark
Lescott
Cissokho
Bacuna
Westwood
Gana
Ayew
Gestede
-
BOOOOOOO
-
#AVFC subs (v @WatfordFC): Guzan, Richards, Sinclair, Veretout, Sanchez, Gil, Grealish. #WATAVL #WatfordFC
-
No Traore on the bench either. #fuckme
-
Five at the back ?
-
Bloke outside the ground handing out badges. I thought he was yelling "Troy Deeney's a bastard" but it's "ambassador"
-
Another losing team, he can't help himself.
Bacuna again
-
Well why is...but who can....where is..........oh I give up!
-
What is the point. Same shit every match day.
-
Five at the back ?
Yep. Against fucking Watford.
HEY ERIC WE ARE ALREADY FUCKING RELEGATED!!!!!!!
-
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChStIsJXEAAU0VO.jpg:large)
-
Bacuna? Really?
-
He's adventurous isn't he !
-
'Vicarage Road Stadium'. Are we playing Real Madrid?
-
All I want is the common courtesy of being told why Traore and Green aren't on the bench.
-
Lescott stars in The Undroppable Me.
-
To quote our future manager, fuck off and fry, Black, you incompetent twat. And fuck that entire lineup. I hate every player, bar Toner and Ayew.
******
-
I think it's a minor miracle we can field 11 players for 90 mins.
-
The entertainment comes from the crowd, so I'm not too bothered who the caretaker plays.
Boooooooooooooooooooooo.
-
Five at the back and the poorest midfield possible. Why bother playing any strikers as they'll get fuck all service.
-
We set out to lose every fucking week. It's like the training is geared around us boring the fans, not scoring and conceding as many goals as possible.
-
'Vicarage Road Stadium'. Are we playing Real Madrid?
Lulz
-
Bacuna clearly knows where the bodies are buried. And Black obviously going for that record of consecutive losses. Come on Eric - you can do it.
-
Latest chant is "F*ck the Premier League"
-
Latest chant is "F*ck the Premier League"
Let's hope it's not "F*ck the Championship" in 12 months time....

Would not be in the least surprised, followed by "Fuck all y'all".

Heskey drew Bacuna the map.

Line up:
Bunn
Hutton
Toner
Clark
Lescott
Cissokho
Bacuna
Westwood
Gana
Ayew
Gestede
Butterfingers Brad out then...
Where's he playing Toner?
Ayew feeding off Rudy's flicks if they come off...
-
No Traore or Green, I really hate Black's line ups.
-
The only thing more pointless than that line up is the result it'll bring.
-
You would think Black being an Assistant would use an opportunity like this to sell himself to potential employers. It's like he has zero ambition in doing that. In what is literally a nothing to lose situation he is playing not to lose and inevitably it will end in yet another defeat. Which will be followed by an everything is toxic post match press conference and lead into an everything is toxic and shit pre match press conference before the next game.
-
Has Bacuna got pictures of Black, Garde, Sherwood in a three way or something?
-
Looks like five at the back today.
I hate five at the back.
I assume this has been discussed but is Traore injured?
-
The only thing to look forward too is the Villa fans with Flabby Gabby masks in the away end.
-
"Get ready to welcome your Golden Boys"
Who are they? A Chippendales tribute act?
-
Sun's gone and it's raining again
-
Bacuna in again after last weeks shocker?? Black is useless with that line-up.
-
The entertainment comes from the crowd, so I'm not too bothered who the caretaker necrophiliac plays.
Boooooooooooooooooooooo.
Only description that fits, given that he's f##king the rotting corpse that is our first team.
-
Fuck off Black. It would have been nice to see a win before the trap door finally drops, or at least a credible attempt to secure one.
Do I really care whether Watford stick three up us or six? Five at the back, what an arsehole.
-
Watford music Everton's 'Z-Cars' theme tune?
-
3 at the back with exciting wing-backs. no need for wingers then. Ace.
-
Looks like 3-5-2, but Bacuna again? Is Black just on a massive wind up?
-
Bacuna * slowly shakes his head sideways *
-
Back three all left footed. Well done Eric
-
Only 2 out of the dispicable 7 are starting, but it still beggars the question, what have bacuna and lescott done to deserve starting places?
To the other 9 starters, as the song goes...
All we are saying is play with some pride. UTV
-
Already playing across their own 18 yard line.
-
Already playing across our own 18 yard line!
-
Villa fans in good voice
-
Watford's champagne football has us pinned back already.
-
No Traore? Why? Our current situation is the ultimate example of 'nothing to lose'. Fucking play him.
-
If Watford sack Flores we could do much worse...
-
Black makes McLeish look like a rampant out of control tactical experimentalist
-
Ciaran Clark looking at home on the right side of the CB set up. Or not as the case clearly is.
-
We are a fucking mess at the back. Ighalo turning us inside out.
-
If Watford sack Flores we could do much worse...
I was thinking exactly the same thing. It's a no-brainier really.
-
Even after this season I can't believe how much better Watford look compared to our rabble.
-
They are winning every second ball in midfield
-
This team in yellow could be Bazil, so superior are they to our ragtag bunch of shit-kickers.
-
Bacuna getting serenaded with "Champions League your having a laugh" by the travelling loyalists.
-
Shocking the way we can't get the ball away out of defence to our own players; and Watford look so much quicker.
-
Bacuna getting serenaded with "Champions League your having a laugh" by the travelling loyalists.
Troy Deeney just got cheered by some away fans for hacking Bacuna down
-
Bacuna getting serenaded with "Champions League your having a laugh" by the travelling loyalists.
And so he should. The prick.
-
Black adopting a free flowing, exhilarating style of football spearheaded by Bacuna gives us hope for next season.
Said no one ever.
-
Anyone got a pair of binoculars I can borrow. Villa have hardly been up this end
-
Watford's best players by far are the two strikers. So where do we choose to play the game? In and around our own penalty area. Tactical genius.
-
Bacuna getting serenaded with "Champions League your having a laugh" by the travelling loyalists.

I've no problem with what he said. It's how he plays that's the problem
-
We've had a shot !!!!!
-
It's like we are playing with leg braces on.
-
A SHOT! Yes!
-
We really are just utterly, utterly bollocks
-
Clarkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
-
No tactics, no shape, no purpose, no desire, no defined design or intention. Just plodding along to the finish line.
Edit: chuckle
-
Black makes McLeish look like a rampant out of control tactical experimentalist
We've landed men on the Moon, yet so-called "science" still hasn't given us a "like" button on here. What's that all about?
-
"We're gonna win the league!"
-
one nil
-
Haha Ciaran Clark scores
-
Bloody hell !!!!!
1-0 to Villa
-
get in !! a goal , a goal for us,
-
No tactics, no shape, no purpose, no desire, no defined design or intention. Just plodding along to the finish line.
and a goal
-
I don't understand. What is this?
-
The fight back begins!!!!
-
No tactics, no shape, no purpose, no desire, no defined design or intention. Just plodding along to the finish line.
and a goal
I need to slag us off more often!
-
It's sad not to jump up or punch the air when we score. But, 1-0
-
fuck me squareshaped. Well in clacker!
-
The fight back starts here. 6 months late but hey ho.
-
Christ we're winning.
-
3 goals in 2 games!
-
The ball, in their net.
They haven't scored yet.
Lie down time.
-
How shit must you be - we're winning one nil
-
We're gonna win the league
-
Far and away the most entertaining thing about Vila games these days is the Villa fans.
-
What's gotten into our Ash? Two goals last week and a proper corner
-
How shit must you be - we're winning one nil
I really, really hate that song.
We are a poor team, but when we have actually done the hard thing and gone in front, that isn't the time to be getting digs in at the side.
-
black is going to get the job
-
What's gotten into our Ash? Two goals last week and a proper corner
getting ready for the Championship where he belongs!
-
Be nice to have a midfield!
-
How shit must you be - we're winning one nil
I really, really hate that song.

It's gallows humour delivered by football fans.
-
Westwood is channelling Sid.
-
Beat me to it TV!
-
We're actually playing quite well and it's all down to confidence. Even if it is fragile.
-
We're actually playing quite well and it's confidence.
Chris Kamara just said exactly the same its as if a weight has been lifted off their shoulders
-
I'd make Clark captain for next season
-
We're actually playing quite well and it's confidence.
Chris Kamara just said exactly the same its as if a weight has been lifted off their shoulders
He must have been having a word with our Joleon before the game.
-
If Black had picked a half decent formation we would have been 3 up. What a twat.
Ayew really is starting to look a good player.
-
Bacuna booked. Could be for foul play or could be for general ineptitude
-
The thing is when you watch Watford, Albion & Palace you realise that with a decent set-up we should have been able to stay in this division.
-
We need a second here.
We'll invariably present them with an easy chance at some point (hopefully not just before half time), so we need a couple to offset the shitness handicap.
-

Leicester are about to win the league john let alone that common sense example.
-
Ayew hits the post with a header
-
Fuck.
-
Ayew hits the post with a header
He is a terrific player. I hope we can retain him
-
What a fucking stupid foul by Gana
Edit: you utter thick twat Gana.
-
Ayew hits the post with a header
He is a terrific player. I hope we can retain him
Sadly one of the few who's good enough to get a move to something a lot better
-
Ayew hits the post with a header
He is a terrific player. I hope we can retain him
Hope so too, him and Rudy will score for fun in the chump.
-
1-1
-
What a fucking surprise
-
How very Villa.
-
How many's that that Villa have conceded in first half injury time?
-
Thanks fuck for that. I was getting nervous!
-
I enjoyed it while it lasted.
-
We can still equal our eleven straight defeats record. Yes!
-
How many's that that Villa have conceded in first half injury time?
Everton hold most of the worst records in PL believe it or not.
-
Shit wall - just stood there
-
*NEWS FLASh* - Opposition team scores agains Aston Villa just before half-time. - that doesn't happen very often DOES it.
-
Total lack of jumpage from the 'wall' there.
-
Refreshing change to concede just before half time
-
Bollocks. Would have helped if the wall had jumped.
-
Total lack of jumpage from the 'wall' there.
Bonus points for the word "jumpage"
-
soo Villa..
can't help but laugh.
-
Goodbye Gana. I'm assuming that little clip of your mindless indiscipline will be edited by your agent in seeking a new club.
-
Ah yes the normal 45th minute goal.
-
Shit wall - just stood there
It appears that they still have weight on their shoulders!
-
Ironcially, the sort of save at the free kick that Guzan would have made.
Gana was playing reasonably well but - y'know - I don't think he's what we need and I do hope someone comes in with a bid.
Talking of bids, the summariser on the stream that I'm watching has said that there are "4 or 5 clubs" looking at Ayew with a view to a bid over the summer.
-
Did we put a single cross into the box for Gestede? We get into great wide positions but we then try to play it through the middle. Why?
-
Did we put a single cross into the box for Gestede? We get into great wide positions but we then try to play it through the middle. Why?
Hutton and Cissokho as wing backs sure ;D
Gana and Bacuna in midfield are the epitome of gutless
-
Did we put a single cross into the box for Gestede? We get into great wide positions but we then try to play it through the middle. Why?
I don't think we have anyone who can cross a ball. It's more luck than judgement if the ball does find it's way onto a villa head.
-

That's what 35 years of experience gets you. Tactical genius is our Eric.
-
1-2 Ayew a very well worked goal
-
yesssssss
-
What a superb goal
-
What a goal.
-
Get the fuck in. Lovely goal from Ayew.
-
We need to keep Ayew.
-
What a goal!!!

Hutton put a cross in last week. I think it was his first of the season which considering the positions he gets himself in is absolutely shocking. I've often wondered how much of that was down to Hutton or instructions from Sherwood/Garde.
Nice goal that!
-
Goodbye Jordan.
-
Ayew is a class act. He won't want to fuck about in the shit league.
-
4 goals in 2 games now.
-
Great move again, Rudy with a terrible shot
-
Rudy's shot might have landed in Aylesbury
-
We need to keep Ayew.
Zero chance of that.
-
We need to keep Ayew.
see my earlier comment about the commentator's comments
-
The back legs of the pantomime horse are at the front.
-
We're actually playing quite well at the minute
-
I'll say this for Gana he puts himself about.
-
If it stays like this prepare yourselves for a plague of locusts.
-
If it stays like this prepare yourselves for a plague of locusts.
My front lawn is already white with snow, so it's a good shout.
-
My bet is that EB will not sub Bacuna and he will get sent off. He would love to do that to the fans
-
At this rate i'll be watching match of the day tonight.
-
My bet is that EB will not sub Bacuna and he will get sent off. He would love to do that to the fans
My fear too. Him or Gana. It's 'the Villa Way'.
-

me too if it stays this way!, there is a long way to go yet, so we may not have to suffer the inane comments of the tax dodger!

Before we slip to a 3-2 defeat, winning goal in the 4th minute of stoppage time.
-
Newcastle winning
Sunderland losing
-
Why has Westwood not been taking corners and set pieces like this all season?
-
Why has Westwood not been taking corners and set pieces like this all season?
It's Sid Cowans in a Westwood shirt.
-
2 x super set pieces in a row there, 1 x Bacuna and 1 x Westwood, our players in there should be doing a lot better.
Ayew and Gestede destroying this lot since half time, keep the 2 of them and we should score plenty in the second tier
-
Close - should have scored
-
We are playing some lovely stuff at times. I don't recognise this Villa.
-
Think we'll rue not taking one of these chances
-
Think we'll rue not taking one of these chances
There is no doubt in my mind that a late equalizer for Watford is part of our future.

Absolutely agree.
-
Penalty Palace
-
Playing well; bizarre and perhaps tempting fate.
-
Cabaye/Palace miss a penalty
-
You have to laugh, really.
-
Cissokho off. That's a terrible decision by the ref
Edit: Cissokho you fucking idiot
-
Penalty Palace
Missed
-
Was sending off justified?
-
There you go.
-
That's a definite red
-
Cissokho off. That's a terrible decision by the ref
Got the ball, there bloke dived, cover coming across. Apart from that, the Ref was spot on
-
This fuckin' defence of ours is just shocking - how much space do they give the striker, prior to Cissokho's foul?!!
-
Was sending off justified?
Yes 100%
-
Thought Cissokho got the ball first
-
Penalty Palace. Sounds like the title of a new Ray Winstone movie.
-
Now, subs, see the game out.
-
Cissokho off. That's a terrible decision by the ref
Got the ball, there bloke dived, cover coming across. Apart from that, the Ref was spot on
Yep I edited my post Mr Sox on review. He got the ball but it was the second challenge that he tripped the player.
-
Was sending off justified?
Yes 100%
Oh, definitely didn't look it in real time
-
Thought Cissokho got the ball first
He did the first time, but the ball came loose and he knew what he was doing in tripping the player.
-
Cissokho off. That's a terrible decision by the ref
Got the ball, there bloke dived, cover coming across. Apart from that, the Ref was spot on
Cissokho tackled him, bloke was going to go past anyway, cissokho was on the ground and stuck his leg up to bring him down anyway.
Other defender was nowhere near.
Clear red
-
Hopefully that's the last we see of that moronic defender.
-
Their bloke kicks the ball away ant Bunn gets booked
-

Thanks Paulie, didn't look like that live
-
Getting a bit tasty
-
Oh no, Sanchez.
-
Carlos replacing Ayew. Fuck me
-
Snachez coming on
-
how the fuck did we end up defending one on one from our corner?
thought Cissokho had the hard part done shuffling the forward onto his left foot, didnt need to dive in
-
The young lad Toner has done very well indeed.
-
Good to see Tiny's Bitters losing
2-0 3-0
-
Good to see Tiny's Bitters losing 2-0
West Ham really have had a brilliant season
-
Good to see Tiny's Bitters losing 2-0

-
This is starting to get a bit tetchy
-
I am just putting €500 on 2-2...
-
Great defending from Hutton to get in front of the striker ...
-
I am just putting €500 on 2-2...
If they equalise before 90 minutes stick another 500 on 3-2 Watford.
-
Good to see Tiny's Bitters losing 3-0

Why emphasise it? :D
-
Why wasn't the Watford player booked for diving?
-
It's coming, isn't it?
-
It's coming, isn't it?
Sorry, Jim, what are you doing?
-
Why Scott rather than Veretout?
-
Sinclair on for Gana
-
I wish we had a chance of hanging on to Gana
-
Why Scott rather than Veretout?
Now why would you ask a question that man of 35 years experience has clearly thought through?
-
There it is, Deeney
-
Bunn doesn't inspire much confidence does he?
... not suggesting that Guszan either, by the way.
-
Haha fucking shocker 2-2
-
And there it is.
-
Yeeeees!I'm rich!
-
Had to be fucking Deeney again
-
And there you have it.
-
couldn't you just guess it!!!
Crap marking again.
-
The most predictable occurrence in world affairs.
-
I am just putting €500 on 2-2...
Well done.
-
Nice marking there Bacuna you fucking tool.
BE get another 500 on to a Watford winner.
-
Yeeeees!I'm rich!
Not yet - 5 minutes - still time to lose it!
-
Yeeeees!I'm rich!
5mins to go - hedge on 3-2 Watford if i were you
-
3-2
-
What odds BE ? Even? ;)
-
Typical. Only feels like the ten millionth time we've let in a late goal over the years
-
Were their goals on 45 and 90? If so, splendid symmetry there.
Edit oh fuck off!
-
Wow, just fucking wow
-
That's so Villa it's unfucking believable. C u n t s.
-
I am just putting €500 on 2-2...
Well done.
Should have gone for 3-2
-
Yeeeees!I'm rich!
5mins to go - hedge on 3-2 Watford if i were you
Or maybe hedge on 4-2 Watford.
Fu
kin
ell
-
3-2 Watford.
-
3-2, deeney of course
-
Were their goals on 45 and 90? If so, splendid symmetry there.
Edit oh fuck off!
I told you.
-
We are fucking hopeless.
-
Yeeeees!I'm rich!
5mins to go - hedge on 3-2 Watford if i were you
I would be able to buy the club had I done those bets!
-
Yeeeees!I'm rich!
I think not.
-
I am just putting €500 on 2-2...
If they equalise before 90 minutes stick another 500 on 3-2 Watford.
You both need burning...
-
I am just putting €500 on 2-2...
If they equalise before 90 minutes stick another 500 on 3-2 Watford.
Just for the record BE I hope you did this.
-
Utterly pathetic week after fucking week.
-
I can't wake up from this nightmare...
-
We didnt deserve to lose this
-
Bunn really is not very good.
-
When that twat brought on Sinclair.... I just shook my head.
-
Pathetic I hate these bunch of wankers same shit every week.
-
Only AVFC could lose a game they lead after 90 mins
-
This ain't no football club.
-
Bunn really is not very good.
Mind you, crap defending in front of him ...
-
Eric Black strikes again.
-
Yet another record broken. Have no doubt that there are further depths to be plumbed.
-
Play like a bunch of pre-menstrual school girls.
Utterly shameful that they've managed to do it again.
-
Watford have been abysmal too.
There isn't another club in the league who would have given that away as pathetically as we did
-
THE worst thing about this current Villa side is that shit like today doesn't even make me furious any more. They're killing my passion.
-
It's hard to find the words.
-
Nothing surprises me any more. Get rid of the lot of them and start again .
-
I'm just overwhelmed at how shit we are. 11 on the trot, equalling an unwanted club record.
-
26 League defeats. Record.
11 consecutive defeats. Equals record.
Well done all concerned
-
We lost the game because we are shit, but because of Cissokho and Black's fucking genius.
-
What a shameful bunch.
-
It's the hope that kills you..
-
Blacks fault we were 2-1 up, Cissok got sent off and we caved in like we have done all season under two previous managers. Get a fucking grip.
-
I'm laughing. It's criminal and comical all rolled into one.
-
Haven't watched it, but bringing on Sinclair for a defensive midfielder when down to ten men and one goal up seems Sherwoodesque levels of stupidity.
-
Fucking laughable fucktards. The sooner they all fuck off the better. Who loses a match from there?! Fuckers
-
We didnt deserve to lose this
we did
-
When that twat brought on Sinclair.... I just shook my head.
He wasn't at fault for their goals though. Hutton and Bacuna just watching Deeney go past for the equaliser
-
they really do deserve kneecapping for throwing that game.
-
I am convinced they are doing it on purpose
-
Eric Black: 35 years of idiocy,
-
It's gonna be a Geordie jizzfest next week
-
and bacuna stays on the pitch again - very odd
-
Don't put this at Blacks door. He's presiding over the shittest team in history.
-
What a load of bollocks.
-
ffs
-
Unbelieveable..... Only it is believeable though.
