Assume Bacuna is injured, that's a blow.
-
Westwood... Ruh Roh
-
Yup. Pointy will need to step up his game today.
-
Nobody noticed Gabby on the bench....
-
Don't think I can ever remember 3 strikers plus that many on the bench ever before !!
-
Bacuna missing is a big blow....but Brucey could have pulled a masterstroke in naming Gabby
on the bench.
Send him out to warm up with 15 to go....they will shit themselves. Leave him on pitch at HT warming up frantically.
Lots of things Bruce can do physcologically with Gabby today.
-
Nobody noticed Gabby on the bench....
I hope the bench doesn't give way.
-
Getting him fit again shows a bit of forward thinking on Bruce's part.....two eyes on the African cup.
-
I'd have gone with Tshibola rather than pointy. Bacuna will be a miss, it might expose Hutton a bit more.
-
pointy over tish?
-

Great shout
-
Much rather have Tshibola than Westwood, and Bacuna out is a blow. Not feeling so confident now.
-

I do wonder if Tshibola is on the bench so that he can come on and give a bit of energy in the latter stages of a game.
-
West-fucking-wood? The wettest lettuce leaf at the club, and we're throwing him into a derby? I hope Bruce knows what he's doing.
Still, fuck the fuckers.
-
pointy over tish?
Flesh legs that can actually drive us forward in the second half. Westwood also has the big game experience.
-

How many of those big games have we won?
-
pointy over tish?
Flesh legs that can actually drive us forward in the second half. Westwood also has the big game experience.
He's also more defensive minded.
Think Bruce has set us up to sit and then hit them on the break.
-

Flesh legs that can actually drive us forward in the second half. Westwood also has the big game experience.
We'll miss his meaty tackles.
-

He's just not very good though.

Ha! Still on my first coffee, Lee.
-

Still, fuck the fuckers.
My thoughts exactly. Fucking Westwood, the useless pointy twat. Score the winner mcpoint, and allow me to gorge myself on humble pie.
-
Is that Agbonlahor bloke on the bench someone out of the youth team?
-
Lots of things Bruce can do physcologically with Gabby today.
After we have won he can do lots of things physically as well with him as far as I am concerned 😳
-
FFS, that is not the midfield I want to see for a derby match, Ashley fucking Westwood, for fuck fucking sake. And Agbonlahor on the bench, you really can't be serious Mr Bruce. I have a very bad feeling about today indeed, we're going to get battered in the middle of the park.
-
Please win Villa.
-
I never thought I would be saying this but Bacuna out is a blow.
-
Suspect he's hoping that Tshibola can come on with fresh legs and give us a lift in the last 30, especially if the crowd gives the other lot a push. Until then, keep it tight, hold onto the ball and rely on the counter/a bit of individual brilliance. Gestede/McCormack there to throw on if we're losing.
-
Found a crap stream , cup of coffee and ready to go. And Troy Deeney reckons there was only a couple of hundred thousand at the Sty for the Rotherham game.
-
Bacuna got injured in training apparently meaning we are stuck with that fcukin jinx. And they're putting four in midfield. God help us.
-

Disagree, pretty solid to me, the problem for me is the midfield actually getting forward, presume that we are going to play counter attacking and use our pace up front, therefore our midfield won't see much of the ball from an attacking perspective.

If you think that midfield is solid you need to give your head a shake
probably forced through injury etc, but I just hope theirs is worse
-
PL referee today - Mike Dean
-
Our midfield three look very slow, would have gone for Tshibola aswell but maybe he hasn't impressed Bruce as of yet.
Our bench looks very strong, Stockholm syndrome maybe but think this is a good game to bring Gabby back into the squad.
-
Westwood. Fucknuts.
-
I'd have gone for Tshibola. We'll definitely miss bacuna's energy. I guess Gardner will be the most forward looking
-
PL referee today - Mike Dean
Nailed on a sending off today, can I get a bet on it?
-
Wow St Andrews looks fullish for once. I wonder why.

what a player to bring on though (tish that is)
-

Good, we outnumber them in the centre then.
-
Westwood...fck! And I already paid betting we would win today.
Despite that injury on Bacuna (and thats really hurting us)....why Westwood?
How can something that's so obvious to 99% of the fan-base elude every manager we get?
He is Toxic! Now Gardner and Jedi will drop in performance, the defense will look haggard...and attackers will have next to no service.
Hope we can hang on for 45 and Bruce figure it out at halftime... :-\
-
Cmon you villa!!! smash them inbreads!
-
Westwood? Gabby on the bench?
What a cowpat of a selection that is.
-
Just look at them vile bastards it really is their whole life this fixture.
-
Amavi booked already.
-
Shame Robbe Savage is part of the R5 commentary team.
-
First observation. Hutton is utterly bollocks.
-
Dumb challenge from Amavi.
-
Fcukin Amavi walking a tightrope now.
-
Early yellow for Amavi - could be costly later
-
Their fans truly are roaches. Nathan Baker has lovely hair
-
Lacking composure at the moment.
-
First observation. Hutton is utterly bollocks.
Positional play is awful. Ball watcher
-
We haven't won at a tackle yet apart from booking one
-
I've no idea who any of their tramps are, but they look up for it.
-
Terrible free kick
-
Terrible free kick
Crap
-
Big gaps in our midfield. Westwood anonymous as usual.
-
Ayew needs to get off corners and free kick deliveries into the box- was terrible last week too
-
I've no idea who any of their tramps are, but they look up for it.
Anonymous aren't they? It's like on FM when you play a team they don't have the rights to, so they computer-generate a load of names.
-
Ayew not started right at it
-
Good - they've started that high pitched girly 'Villa' chant. We usually score after that
-
Crap game. I like the position Jedinak is playing in.
-
I've no idea who any of their tramps are, but they look up for it.

That's it. Just random names for nobodies.
-
Afternoon all..!
Just joining in - how's it been so far?
-

Johnny Frambles. Pete McDuggin.
-
How is that not a booking?
-
Not a game that radiates quality so far. Sadly, what little there is has mostly come from the Shite.
-
Mike Dean so far-0/10
-
I mean, Rhoys Wiggins? Rhoys. That's not even a real name. He'll probably score.
-
Well the old romantic in me is glad Gabby is on the bench.
-
It was always going to be like this. Quite happy to keep it nice and solid, we have the match-winners in our front three.
-
How is that not a booking?
Mike Dean just showing that he doesn't know the laws of the game.

Johnny Frambles. Pete McDuggin.
Unfortunely Messrs Frambles and McDuggin are matching us quite well so far. Let's hope our more well known players emerge from this.
-
I mean, Rhoys Wiggins? Rhoys. That's not even a real name. He'll probably score.
And Mile is?
-
How is that not a booking?
No consistency, if your going to give Amavi a yellow then so was that.
-
Haaaa!
-
Blimey that was close.
-
Near miss there.
-
WESTWOOD CAN'T KICK A FUCKING FOOTBALL.
-
Shit - got away with that. Followed by Westwood shit
-
I mean, Rhoys Wiggins? Rhoys. That's not even a real name. He'll probably score.
I know, it sounds like Martin Amis or something.
I mean, Rhoys Wiggins? Rhoys. That's not even a real name. He'll probably score.
And Mile is?
In Czech, I believe.
Edit: what the fuck is going on.
-
No goal line technology in the Championship?
-
Need to wake up here to the battle otherwise will be 1 down soon.
-
Do they have the goal line technology in the Championship?
-
WESTWOOD CAN'T KICK A FUCKING FOOTBALL.
I hate him. Where has the little arse been for the first 20 minutes. Pathetic excuse for a player.
-
Westwood you donkey!
-
What the hell was that from Westwood. My 11 year old could strike a ball better
-
Fucking hell.
-
Lucky there. What was Gollini doing?
And why wasn't Spector booked for fouling Ayew? Dean is a prime ******.
Westwood! Hit the target you penis!
-
*applause*
-
WESTWOOD CAN'T KICK A FUCKING FOOTBALL.
I hate him. Where has the little arse been for the first 20 minutes. Pathetic excuse for a player.
Me too. He's a useless fuck
-
No goal line technology in the Championship?
Love the fact they are still celebrating 10 seconds after the goal isnt given
-
We need to wake up and massively up our intensity.
-
WESTWOOD CAN'T KICK A FUCKING FOOTBALL.
I hate him. Where has the little arse been for the first 20 minutes. Pathetic excuse for a player.
He's a complete non entity footballer. He exists is about as much as can be said but he offers literally nothing at all.
-
Nice applause for the 21 there - well done all involved.
-
No one was backing Westwood there, we need to wake up soon or Blues will be 1 up
-
Westwood is bollocks
Nice round of applause
-
Adomah had enough.
McCormack or Gestede to come on?
-

How can a central midfielder be invisible for 20 min?? The first time he gets involved he clears for the Blows!!
-
Westwood thinks he's Michael Carrick, because Carrick is slow and so he is. But Carrick is also good at things.
-
Disgusting Birmingham City tramps can't even clap for a whole minute without marring the occasion with their shit dirge.
-
Adomah had enough.
McCormack or Gestede to come on?
There's another striker on the bench, too
-
Adomah looks like he's in trouble.
-
Great applause for the 21, of course spoiled by the noses towards the end. Adomah looks fucked
-
Is the ref related to Jasper Carrot? Thought it was him at first glance.
-
On the replay that looked in
-
Our midfield non existent as usual
-
Our defence can't handle Clayton Donaldson...big worry if they push more men forward to support him.
-
Hutton get closer you knob
-
On the replay that looked in
Nope. Needs to be the whole ball. It wasnt
-
Alan Hutton is a shit footballer who tries really hard not to be as shit as he is.
-
All over us here. As was very predictable, our midfield is AWOL.
-
This is really poor. Our midfield is not doing anything.
-
Alan Hutton is a shit footballer who tries really hard not to be as shit as he is.
A fair summation.
-
McCormack coming on for Adomah
-
Amavi the only one up to speed.Kodja isolated.
-
Kodja is our best player by far.
-
Kodjia is superb. His run spoiled by a shit pass from guess who?
-
Losing Adomah is a real blow.
-
McCormack should be his type of game to be fair
-
I really hate that 'oo-arr-ya' thing they do.
-
They're getting the better of this.
-
Their chants haven't changed since 1978
-
McCormack should be his type of game to be fair
Robbed on his first touch.
-
We need to massively up the intensity, we've been very sluggish so far.
-
Might be just me but I always burst out laughing whenever they show Steve Bruce. Can't work out why, but I just find him really funny.
It's probably a laugh or cry thing.
-
Glad to hear Bruce wasn't happy about the challenge that saw Adomah injured, he's fouled twice and the ref didn't see either.
-
I really hate that 'oo-arr-ya' thing they do.
Probably the first time they've done it since they last played us.
-
Second best so far
-
GARDNERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
-
Might be just me but I always burst out laughing whenever they show Steve Bruce. Can't work out why, but I just find him really funny.
It's probably a laugh or cry thing.
That's really quite bizarre
-
Why is that not a red card?
-
Yesssssss!!
-
GEEEEEEEEEET IIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
-
YES!
-
Is that not a red?!
-
Red card ffs
-
gggooLLLLL
-
Yes!!!!!
-
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL
-
So their player kicks ours in the face and it's only a yellow
-
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Get in!!!!!! Great head.
-
GARY FUCKING GARDNER
-
Absolute smasher of a header.
-
Gooooooal
-
Ahhh! I fucking missed it..!!!!!!
-
What a guy.
-
Best header I've ever seen
-
GET IN!!!!!!
-
Put him up front!
-
What a fuckin header
-
Fuck those horrible tramps.
-
What a belting header. Now win the game Villa.
-
Why is that not a red card?
Agree studs up towards his face.
Good on Gards with the opener though, probably punishment enough to score from the free kick.
-
Jeeps that is some header
-
Never in doubt
-
Right then. Lets not arse this up.
-
It would be nice if we pushed on and took the game to them now.
-
Get the fuck in!
-
That's a goal that Benteke or Peter Withe would have been proud of. Superb stuff and so happy for Garry.
-
Yee haw.. all forgiven.. leading to more.. come on da villa
-
You beauty! A Savo-esque celebration.
-
Weeeeeeeeeeeee
-
Turns laptop off. We score. Yay!
-
Crackin header.....looking for ayew and McCormack to join in and pull their weight to stuff this lit
-
Turns laptop off. We score. Yay!
Get that laptop back off!
-
This situation is perfect. Ayew and Kodjia's pace on the break will keep them on their toes - a good spot to be in right now. Tight until HT now Villa please, we have to do a job on these mugs
-
Fuck - Westwood HAD to do better there
-
Is that Gardner's first goal for us?
-
Welcome to the AVFC hall of fame, Gary Gardner.
-
Welcome to the AVFC hall of fame, Gary Gardner.
No no no no no no no no, we do not have hall of fame places for scoring a single goal against this pot of shit. That's what they do!
-
Is Westwood just naturally shit or does he have to practise?
-
Stop ayew taking kicks and leave for Westwood
-
See those dirty battling brummies are living up to their name.
-
great villa celebrations there
-
Is Westwood just naturally shit or does he have to practise?
Surely he can't be that bad by accident?
-
Far from convinced about Amavi.
-
Noses turned into church mice
-
We're losing on possession lads, it's over.
-
Is Westwood just naturally shit or does he have to practise?
Surely he can't be that bad by accident?
It's so consistent, it has to be rehearsed.
-
The natives are getting restless.
-
Five mins to HT including injury time. Come on. Keep it up and we well win FT.
-
He needs to take the clown off at halftime, but with the injury and Ayew and Kodjia getting hacked by Blouse its not going to happen.
-
Gabby to come on and make it 2-0
-
Westwood is a waste of a position. What does he do? It really is like playing with 10 men.
-
How many times are Adams and Donaldson going to push Villa defenders in the back before Dean remembers the laws of the game?
-
Westwood spots a break and passes it backwards, the pathetic weasel.
-
Westwood really is shocking sent he. Wins the ball and runs into a blind alley and can't lay it off. Tool.
-
Westwood spots a break and passes it backwards, the pathetic weasel.
yep saw that
-
Far from convinced about Amavi.
He has to be very careful on a yellow
-
Westwood spots a break and passes it backwards, the pathetic weasel.
yep saw that
he's pure shit..
-
I know I've seen this answered elsewhere but can't recall the answer; when did we last win 3 in a row?
It's still villa so that may remain the last time as of yet but it's been so long I can't remember.
-
Gleeson a mouthy c***.Sending off waiting to happen
-
Five mins et.. come on villa.. boot it
-
McCormack looks way off the pace.
-
Gleeson a mouthy c***.Sending off waiting to happen
Hopefully
-

No, NO, NO!
-
Keep ayew away from dead balls unless in fron of goal , his long range delivery is crap
-

2010 apparently
-
Westwood spots a break and passes it backwards, the pathetic weasel.
Trading breaks for useless possession... Imagine if you are Ayew or Kodjia and running flat-out for a pass there. No wonder they sour and get stationary.
-
HT. Need to up it a bit second half
-
Need to up our game and get a 2nd in the second half.
-
Yes. Grite grite stuff. Bring it on 2nd half! Boston stuff
-
Not sure I can face the second half.
I'd take the dog on a long walk but we haven't got a dog.
-

2010 apparently
April 2010 was beating Pompey away, beating hull away and third win was.....SHA.
-
Keep ayew away from dead balls unless in fron of goal , his long range delivery is crap
Who put the ball in for our goal?
-
We need to fight more, we have the overall better quality, Westwood is Blues, we've played the first half with 10 men, get him off the ****** and get Tshibola on. Fight, fight, fight, fuck them up win the battles hit them on the break and don't please don't have a brain fart anyone and gift them a way back.
Up the Villa boys.
-
Just seen Gardner's post goal pitch length run to the Villa fans.Quality.
-

April 2010. Ironcially the third game then was against the shite as well
-
McCormack looks way off the pace.
And a bit chunky
-
Perfect advert for the Championship.
Dreadful, dreadful stuff.
-
Dreadful game, but...
-
Gleeson a mouthy c***.Sending off waiting to happen
Hopefully
Yes, a gobby little red faced crayon muncher. I always laugh how their 'players' try to reflect their 'fans' negative emotion towards us.
Fuck them all.
-
Great goal....great half from Jedi!!!
-
Scrappy game, but we've got to be pleased with things so far. We've defended well. I'm delighted for Gardner. I fancied him to score today.
We've lost a bit of balance and an outlet with Adomah off. Generally Bruces substitutions have been good, but I think McCormack was the wrong choice. I'd have brought on Rudy to give us a focal point in the middle, and use Kodjias pace out wide. Ross looks lost on the right, and we can't really rejig the formation to suit him. The three in midfield is essential in a game like this. Jedinak is martialing things pretty well. I'd personally be tempted to bring on Tish in place of Westwood to offer a bit more dynamism in there.
-
We have a decent strike force but no supply. MF is poor. Need to correct that in the Jan transfer window
I would bring on Tshibola second half
-
Is it just me, or do we have several Lardy arses who look massively off the pace ? Do we have a fitness coach?
-
Keep ayew away from dead balls unless in fron of goal , his long range delivery is crap
I know ..the one he put on Gardner's head was shit
-
Is it just me, or do we have several Lardy arses who look massively off the pace ? Do we have a fitness coach?
No one as lardy as their goalkeeper...though in fairness if there's one position you can get away with it...
-
Going OK so far, scoreline is everything. And their fans are horrible.
-
Keep ayew away from dead balls unless in fron of goal , his long range delivery is crap

If the alternative is Westwood...
-
they have gone into Kodja And Ayew from the start, be surprised if they both finish the game uninjured
-
I remember last year , a bluenose telling us how crap we are and we are going down.
I agreed but pointed out that even as bad as we are we still beat them in the cup....... just saying.
-
On the replay there's a man behind the goal who goes to clap then stops. Villa fan in their end.
-
they have gone into Kodja And Ayew from the start, be surprised if they both finish the game uninjured
And Dean doesn't care
-
I remember last year , a bluenose telling us how crap we are and we are going down.

They'll have their excuses ready.
-
They will come out now so Hopefully we can hit them on the break this second half. Comon boys!!!!
-
Kevin Philips is the sky pundit, proper striker
-
Dreadful game, but...
Yep, the goal has certainly put a gloss on things (plus the biz on our goal line). We've done well defensively thus far, although Amavi's been mostly dreadful; & Westwood, well, he's been as good as he is. UTV
-
Shocking quality - not my main concern today though
We're definitely starting to get some luck and will need to start playing better reasonably soon
Jedinak's kind of game and he's doing well.
- but more composure and we can get our forwards into dangerous positions
-
We need to up our pressing game in the second half.
-
Happy so far, we look comfortable now that Blose just went long ball for the last 15 minutes of the half.
-
Is it just me, or do we have several Lardy arses who look massively off the pace ? Do we have a fitness coach?
It isn't just you.
A few of our lot look like they have been on the sauce last night.
Still, we're somehow 1-0 up.
They have to come at us now, so hopefully a chance to kill them on the counter. Pinch another and they'll fold. Crowd already sound subdued.
-
Going OK so far, scoreline is everything. And their fans are horrible.
I know we have some dickhead fans as well but the sheer number of there 'supporters' giving our guys verbal abuse when they take a throw in is astounding. The hate they must feel

Yup. Replacing Westwood would be a start.
-
Not really in a fit state to watch the football after the beer festival yesterday. Can barely keep my eyes open. The football isn't helping keeping me awake either.
-
Please just get another couple of goals Villa and win the game.
-
Think Bruce been trying to introduce a faster direct play, Westwood is used to having lots of touches playing sideways and back, so now he doesn't do anything. Running around the pitch and doing some strange mock-pressuring but not tackles.... How many touches he had not counting stale defensive headers...5 maybe?
-
Amavi dreadful? I think he's been quite good, including in the air
-
Right then, get on it from the 2nd half get-go Villa!
-
Going OK so far, scoreline is everything. And their fans are horrible.

Like 1984's fifteen minutes of hate-only forever in their cases
-
Amavi dreadful? I think he's been quite good, including in the air
Me too. He's done very well so far.
-
The BEIN Sports 'pundit', in the studio, is Trevor Francis, who said, at half time, that the Blues player should have been sent off for his, high foot challenge, on Ayew.
-

We've made them feel inadequate their entire history. It's a deep rooted mental thing for them, as bad as we get we still are better than them and it hurts them to the core. They wish we didn't exist so they could represent Birmingham and not embarrass it. We are who they wanted to be but never could be because theyre shite and over the years it's manifested itself in thuggish behaviour, like a child with issues.
Fuck them, scum to the core, lets give them another chip on their shoulder to carry around along with the large portion they already have.
-
We need to ride the wave of their enthusiasm in the first 15. They are very average as a side so if we keep our composure we can grab a second and see this out.
-
Oh do get up Kodija.
-
A woman and her two children (one probably 20 the other maybe 12) have come and sat on the table next to me to watch the game. We're in the NW so someone else being arsed with this game is quite rare. They've all got northern accents but she declares they're here to support "the city" and calls the manager "Gary Rowlands".
Then the youngest son sighs and says "we should be supporting Man City, mum. You've known me longer than Dave."
She then informs me, who is trying really hard to not get into their family drama that ensued following that comment, that her new boyfriend is at the game and they're all there to support him. The kid says "some of us maybe" and then declares he quite likes Villa.
I've moved table to sit at the bar.
-
Shotton doing a dirty underhand job on Kodja
-
Sneaky knee in the small of the back
-
Oh do get up Kodija.
Yeah it was only a knee in the kidneys, why would it hurt? :P
-
Fucking dirty Shotton...and he is the one that hurt Adomah in the box earlier.
-
Come on Villa get a second.
-
Hutton you TWAT
-
Fuck me
-
oof. that was close
-
Fuck me.
-
I know we aren't covering ourselves with glory but Blues are rubbish.
-
fucking hutton
-
The obligatory brain fart.
-
MY FUCKING GOD. ALAN HUTTON YOU ARE UTTER, UTTER SHIT
-
Comical by us, but fucking comical by them.
-
For fucks sake Hutton. Only just got away with it
-
Fucking Hutton
-
Brilliant Gollini. Saved us.
-
The obligatory brain fart.
he does 30 a season
-
Great recovery work after an almighty fuck up.
-
Bloody ell
-
Fuck me that scared the shit out of me. Well done Gollini
-
Hutton is so brain dead on the football field.
-
Hutton. Liability.
-
Hutton is fcukin dire
-
Brilliant by Amavi too.
-
Hutton is an awful footballer
-
Alan minging Mutton doing what Mutton normally does.
We have no future with dross like that still in the side.
-
Gollini is alright that man
-
Jedinak is just not very good. Midfield is being run through.
-
Get Tish on, strengthen the middle a bit.
-
westwood booked
still needs a few for a suspension ;(
-
A midfield would be nice.
-
Alan minging Mutton doing what Mutton normally does.
We have no future with dross like that still in the side.
Him and Westwood have 10 seasons betweenthem
-
Jedinak is just not very good. Midfield is being run through.
Think he is doing ok but McCormack on right is offering nothing
-
A midfield would be nice.
I expect Bruce to spot that and do something about it.
-
come on villa
dont give me a sweaty ass
-
Is this their highest crowd of the season?
-
Thrilled we are ahead ....but my God. This isn't pretty to watch, is it?
-
Gleason looks like Quasimodo.
-
Jedi is getting stuck I reckon
-
Gleeson should've gone
-
Jedinak is the bloke you are scared of playing against in a pub league.
-
thats got to be a foul on hutton
-
Jedi having a fantastic, blood and thunder game in the thick of things right now.
-
Jedinak is the bloke you are scared of playing against in a pub league.
well they are a pub team
-
Grealish would have been useful just to give us a player to put their foot on the ball.
-
Kodija is far too isolated.
-
Grealish would have been useful just to give us a player to put their foot on the ball.
Yes, but he'd probably have had both his legs broken by now.
-
Is the reason we keep smashing the ball long to Kodjia because we don't have any midfield to play it through?
-
Is this their highest crowd of the season?
Its the only day they get a day release
-
Gleeson seems to have got away with a few
-
Jedinak is the bloke you are scared of playing against in a pub league.
well they are a pub team
Could use another brawler in there...a cave-man...maybe Gestede as an impact sub?
-
Grealish would've been eaten alive
-
https://m.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/5a5vtp/gary_gardner_goal_v_birmingham_city_01/
-
RMC has been pretty poor
-
Problem is he won't make a sub unless he has to until last 20 mins as already used one
-
We're inviting too much pressure.
-

I thought Gestede should have been on for Adomah and Kodjia used wide
-
Ayew booked, suspended for Blackburn game.
-
Amavi looks class today.
-
Gleeson again
-
Ayew been booked for what??? Gleeson went into him! Fucking Dean!
-
Why was Ayew booked?
-
Gleeson gets away with another one by pretending to be injured
wtf - Glesson takes Ayew out and Ayew gets booked? Dean reverting to type
-
We need to make a change, get a midfielder on for the floating crisp packet.
-
Grealish would've been eaten alive
by Jedinak
-
Not sure how that's a yellow. Gleeson slid into him.
-
How was that a yellow fecking card?!
-
Gleeson gets away with another one by pretending to be injured
Correct.
-
RMC has been pretty poor
Not his position...he is to slow to play winger. Better they play him as AMC...might as well move Pointy out there. Not doing anything useful in the middle anyway.
-
Previously mentioned annoying family have now started facetiming a friend to tell them, loudly, where they are and what they're watching.
"Aston Villa are winning - massive thumbs down to that one!"
I'm trying to think of nearby pubs to go to.
-
good job their final ball is shit
-
Why was Ayew booked?
Referee incompetence
-
Boise bringing on a plumber
-
We're inviting trouble. We need to go control on the ball.
-
Dean and his assistants are shit aren't they.
-
Westwood off and Tish on for me, shore things up a bit more and get a yellow card off the pitch.
-
Football we are playing is awful, can't keep the ball for more than three passes and Kodija is getting bullied.
I'd take McCormack off
-
1-1.
-
Fucking shit
-
Pathetic
-
Wankers.
-
oh fuck off.
-
FFS get Tish on. The midfield is so poor, we're inviting them on.
-
We really need to actually carry a threat.
-
Shit.
-
Fucking ace. It was coming
-
wtf
-
Shite
-
******
-
Shit. That's been coming all half
-
Make the change now Bruce.
-
Sake.
-
Can't complain, we've been poor this half and asking for that.
-
GG you have to do better than that
-
As much as the first half plan worked well it really wasn't a good idea to refuse to attack this half aswell.
On the balance it's the right scoreline...please don't lose this for ffs though.
-
He got that shot away through two of our "midfielders"
-
Pathetic. It's been on the cards and we do nothing.
-
No changes have cost us here.
-
That's been coming. Absolutely dreadful 2nd half.
-
Brexit secretary scores against us.
-
It was coming. If you invite pressure you'll concede. It's the midfield not doing their fucking job again.
-
Fucksticks.
-
We're going to lose this if we don't make the fucking changes.
-
yellow card for taking his shirt off. I hope he gets another and walks.
-
It's like we're playing with ten men.
-
Toothless, despite the forward talent
-
We need Rudy on now kodija has given us nothing today
-
Bollcosk
-
Deflection off Jedi
-
They are and have been first to every ball. We'll lose this.
-
Make some fucking changes you lumpy faced twat.
-
We need Rudy on now kodija has given us nothing today
What have the rest of the team given him?
-
No changes have cost us here.
Is that RDM with a blond wig down there?
Disappointing from Bruce this half, surely get Tish on to give a bit more energy in the centre for the last half hour.
-
We need Rudy on now kodija has given us nothing today
He hasn't had any service.
-
When will we learn?
-
Hoof
-
We need some Kodjia or Ayew individual magic or this isn't going to end well....
-
You will never win a game with Westwood in the team.
-
Tish and flabby Gabby
-
Make some fucking changes you lumpy faced twat.
What can I do from Lincolnshire?
-
They're still a bunch of manginas.
Please don't heap more embarrassment upon us.....
-
Rowett targeted Fucking Amavi & the rest was all too predictable.
-
Two points down the drain. Hopefully not 3.
-
fuck close offside
-
Disappointing by Bruce so far, we were well under the cosh for a while and not a single change despite it blatantly not working this half.
-
Was going to post SHA were 20/1 to win before they scored.
I lumped on of course.
-
This is really poor. Show some fucking energy Villa.
-
Come on villa.. cum on.
-
Dire
-
Donaldson should've buried that.
Can we have some subs please Mr Bruce?
-
Gonna lose aren't we?
-
It seems like the only midfield pass that we're able to do is a clipped, first-time high into whichever part of their half Kodjia isn't standing in.
-
Fuck that was too close.
-
sitter missed
-
Fuck me this isn't helping my blood pressure
-
MAKE THE FUCKIN CHANGE
-
We're going to lose this if we don't fucking make the fucking changes.
-
Fuck me, we get away with it there.
-
Their webbed hands really do make a mess of the clapping routines.
Fuck that was close!
-
Should have scored
-
We are desperate in midfield.
-
How have they not scored there? Fuck me there really is only one winner in this game unless something drastically changes.
-
What a fucking miss. Bruce needs to change it
-
We will lose this.
-
Get gabby on. In goal.
-
Good God, we're a complete shambles.
-
Once again we're making a dismal team look good.
When will it end.
-
You will never win a game with Westwood in the team.
yep
started to win a couple when he was dropped
was about 3 in 50 before that
-
Baker at sea there, very lucky to get away with that
Cant believe Bruce isn't changing this, we have options
Gardner and McCormack off asap
-
Really really really poor.
-
Kodija has gone missing in action since Shotton did him a second time.
-
Gabby? Surely not.
-
gabby winner
-
It's OK, Agbonlahor is coming on.
-
omg...is this happening?
-
Just hoofing and hoping so it comes straight back
-
Here comes chubby.
-
There are clearly change options that would be well worth trying, and he's doing fuck all.
Oh correction - he's making it worse. Fucking fucking fucking hell.
-
Get Gestede on
-
Gabby coming on will only end in one of two scenarios. Mass delight or mass anger
-
Open goal.. don't do it. Arrgh. Boot it hoof it.. don't get sha*ged in last mins please.
-
Gabby
-
Fucking hell, gabby looks so old.
-
Flabby coming on!?
-
SHA fans didn't even do the who are ya chant.
They're scared of him.
-
Fuck my old boots.
-
Well he doesn't look fat. That's a start
-
Looks like he has lost weight... oh wait I'll just get my glasses.
-
Garbage.
-
"He's a bit overweight...and he's about to come on."
-
We'll win, Abedi Pele on for son.
-
Hope Gabby had his half time orange, and pie and chips.
-
He has the momentum on a good run to mow them down. Come on gabby! Up da villa.
-
Blimey, the kitchen sink has been thrown on. Quite literally!
-
Cometh the hour, cometh the man mountain, please score Gabby
-
Come on
-
I feel physically sick
-
Blimey, the kitchen sink has been thrown on. Quite literally!
more the fridge
-
McCormack has been pretty dire.
-
westwood you are pants
-
Westwood is so unbelievably lightweight.
-
Blimey, the kitchen sink has been thrown on. Quite literally!
more the fridge
Was the door open and Gabby gorging inside.
-
Brian Green is right, Westwood is a Jonah
-
Ha hutton. nice one.
-
Hutton times a challenge shocker
-
McCormack has been pretty dire.
He has but there's no way he's a wide player.
-
Jedinak done well today
-
fuck I dont need this
-
Come on Villa show some balls for once.
-
And breath.
-
They miss another sitter. How long will our luck hold
-
They have been much better than us 2nd half
-
My dog's gone and hid upstairs
-
message to you Rudy
back of the fucking net please
-
Some great hoofing by is.
-
Hutton-Westwood-RMC
Been a golden triangle, hasn't it?
-
They miss another sitter. How long will our luck hold
Or it's set up for them to be saying "they break yer 'eart Tom".
-
Go on Westwood, fuck off son.
-
Surprise substitution.
-
Yes westwood off - Rudy on.
-
Hutton-Westwood-RMC
Been a golden triangle, hasn't it?
Golden shower
-
when you do play shite like these , you do drop to their level in derbies
westwood off thank fuck
-
Mods can we have a poll. Who is fatter RMC or GA
-
Hurrah Westwood off
-
Go on Westwood, fuck off son.
Forevermore
-
The force was strong with Jedi there.
-
Great goal from Gardner but he's been shit other than that.
-
amavi wtf was that
-
Jedinak has been outstanding today.
-
Amavi. I really can't see it to be honest.
-
Still plenty of time to lose this. 5 added mins
-
Does Westwood equal shit pressure?
-
Great goal from Gardner but he's been shit other than that.
Very limited player, absolute no pace on his passes too, drives me mad
-
I know it's not saying much but we look better since Gabby came on. At least we now look awake.
-
bradley has fell off his bike teh cnu#
-
I know it's not saying much but we look better since Gabby came on. At least we now look awake.
He is fresh legs we hadnt any that runs at players
-
Why do all of their subs look like they're about to appear at the magistrates?
-
Same old same old.. five mins and a draw please.
-
I know it's not saying much but we look better since Gabby came on. At least we now look awake.
Probably Westwood going off had something to do with it
-
Jedinak has been outstanding today.
+1, shows the reason we bought him. Without him we would have been mullered today. Donaldson bullying Chester and Jedinak has cut out countless dangerous situations
-
This is really horrible to endure
-
Shit - stream's died
-
Surprised Dean didn't send Rudy off for that.
-
Lol Worthington cup finalists 2001
-
if Jedinak had been in GG position for that goal that bloke would have been fouled
-
Gardner has been pretty ropey goal apart
Jedinak and the centre backs the standouts
McCormack looks a lot better in the middle
-
Lol Worthington cup finalists 2001
Ha ha - yeah that was a bit lame...
-
Amavi. I really can't see it to be honest.
He's been woeful today.
He hasn't been the only one.
-
If we get a draw I'll be delighted. We have been Poor throughout the match.
-
Why are we so shit? It's a question that has troubled me for many years. Just, why?
-
Gabby idiot - he was going nowhere
-
You stupid fat fuck, why the fuck foul him there.
-
The lack of quality I can put up with. These players are gutless.
-
I do like Chester, however
-
Why are we so shit? It's a question that has troubled me for many years. Just, why?
We don't do tactics.
-
Gabby and Gleeson going at it
-
Ill in bed. How many more mins to go?
-
Poor again
-
That's it - 1-1.
-
fT
-
Jedi and Baker best for us...Gardner for the superb goal but Westwood as a partner is like dead weight. He will be happy when Bacuna returns...
-
Happy with a point in the end. We were pretty poor and they missed a number of easy chances. Not pretty but Mr Bruce remains undefeated.
-
Jedi and Baker best for us...Gardner for the superb goal but Westwood as a partner is like dead weight. He will be happy when Bacuna returns...
Yep Kodja was good in the first half.
-
They could of had 3-4. Daylight robbery.
-
I'm glad that's over. I'm VERY happy with a point after that woeful showing (especially in the 2nd half). Shit Heath will be kicking themselves that they didn't manage to get all 3 points. I thought our 2 centre-backs did well & Jedi was certainly my Villa MOTM. We go again... :o
