Carlos on the subs. I suspect we don't need the physical presence for Archer but the speed.
Still no Olsen, has he been given upto Xmas off? And O'Reilly on the bench again.
-
Wow, that is really very attacking indeed.
-
Cash in back in the team shocker.
-
I like it.
Brave to drop Carlos, but a standard back 4 and a midfield to fuck the fuckers !
Cmon be babbies
-
Attacking line-up with both Bailey and Diaby in.
-
That’s a front foot team if I’ve ever seen one. Let’s get some early goals.

WHO ARE YOU?
WHO ARE YOU?
Funeral XI.
-
Not bad, I like that lineup.
-
Loving that team. Still lots of work to do but that should give something to think about.
-
Win please Villa.
-
Cash in back in the team shocker.
Better attitude this week in training.

Have a great game all!
-
Very decent team….UTV!!!
-
Their keeper is utter shit. We really need to get crosses into their box because he’s a disaster waiting to happen every time
-
Just put a bet on Atcher to score
-
Rent free.
-

He's not the best.
-
I really just want this to be a dominant performance with plenty of goals. We need to improve our goal difference if we’re going to be “there or thereabouts” at the end of the season.
-
Only one keeper on the bench. Intriguing.
-
Interesting selection. Brave to put in Lenglet for Carlos but I think it's the right call to give us more balance in possession. I did think he would try and squeeze both Bailey and Diaby in tonight so McGinn dropping in next to Luiz I guess.
What a night this could be
-
I really just want this to be a win.
-
Rent free.
Nah! You should welcome positive criticism of your work.
-
It's so rent free that it's very very funny.
-
Ah bless! He thinks I actually care.
-
Very attacking lineup, with Bailey and Diaby and presumably Douglas in DM.
Also Cash at RB.
Norwood is a decent player for them and do slightly worry about Archer getting in behind Lenglet, as he does seem susceptible to a bit of pace.
Still, very positive selection.
-
We’re not at home to Mr cock up
-
You went to the trouble of making an image, you mention it constantly on numerous threads. Everyone knows how much you care. Which makes it very very funny.
-
Come on you Villa boys!

I really just want this to be a win.
A win today for Villa surpasses the best run of Man City under Pep Guardiola and two wins behind Fergie's Man U record.

The Sky presenters are sounding and looking as if they have spent most of the day in the Lower Grounds.

Twat them blade ****** after experience I had in welly tonight
-
Well I for one like the PWS posts. For a start off I know the game is over a minute before I can see it on the tv and get so relaxed.
-
Very nervous…🤣🤣
-
Not going tonight but was in works drinks in welly. Did anyone else in there get any aggro from Sheffield lot? Might be being sensitive but coked up blades fans demanding if I was blades when I was having a slash. Response was villa till I fucking die. Not even in colours.
-

That's cool.

Light show my arse

There is a fierce rivalry between Sheffield United FC and Sheffield Wednesday.

-
Never been so nervous to play bottom of the league lol
-
Scared!
-
Come on Villa!
-
Wilder always fcuks us over. Come on goal line technology!
-
See you on the other side! FTF!
-
COYVB!!
-
Blimey.
-
We are witnessing what Villa are calling the Premier League's "first ever mobile phone light show".
Supporters were encouraged to scan a QR code before kick-off, which has synced their phones to flash lights along with music.
It looks pretty good, in fairness.
-
Right. Let's fucking do this!
UTV!
-
Scared!
Me too!
-
Scared!
Me too!
Face those orcs we are men of Gondor errr Villa!

Fuck off Sheffield you knife making South Yorkshire dripping on toast eating ferret trousered fuckwits. Up the villa

The light show

-
I’ve had a mead. I’m ready to go full Viking (or just fall asleep in the chair)
-
Bailey looks absolutely up for it.
-
Touch from Bailey was sublime there.
-
I wonder when they'll sub off Archer and bring on Sean Bean.
-
Penalty check for us
-
Not given
-
That’s a clear shove in the back. And a pull of his shirt.
-
I wonder when they'll sub off Archer and bring on Sean Bean.
Spoiler alert!
-
Another pen check.
-
Kes pulled his shirt
-
What a waste of time checking that handball, clearly nothing doing.
-
By Frank and Arteta logic that's 2 clear penalties already.
-
The push on Watkins was a stone cold penalty. Very poor decision.
-
That’s a clear shove in the back. And a pull of his shirt.
Most blatant pen ever.
-
I think the first one’s a pen, but the other two aren’t.
-
That Watkins one is an example of a foul in the centre circle that is weirdly never ever given as a penalty. Mysterious.
-
It’s a bit of us all over them. Goals have got to be coming, surely.
-
I thought the shove on Watkins was a pen. VAR certainly wouldn't have overturned it had the ref given it.
The handball one was a joke, the fuck are they looking at there?!
-
That Watkins one is an example of a foul in the centre circle that is weirdly never ever given as a penalty. Mysterious.
And then he gives a soft free kick to united
-
The push on Watkins was a stone cold penalty. Very poor decision.
The fact he pulled his shirt too made the decision even more shocking. Antony Taylor is a shite ref.
-
after 16minutes their goalkeeper has had the most touches in the team.
-
It would be nice for us to get a shot in at some point.
Edit: finally from Diaby.
-

We do and it's saved

The first pen shout
https://twitter.com/militao1000/status/1738291797426639039
Oh dear. Wankers.
-
The peroxide twat in midfield for them will do well to finish the game, kicks out at anyone that goes near him.
-
Cash needs to stop being caught out
-
Cash is worrying me.
-
The first pen shout
https://twitter.com/militao1000/status/1738291797426639039
For some reason VAR and referees never seem to think two hands on the back and a push is a penalty. Not the first for Watkins this season either.
-
Not exactly a thriller so far.
-
Sorry I know stats aren't for everyone but 6 of our players have more individual completed passes than their entire team. This is like a non-league team visiting in an early round of the cup.
-
Cash looks a bit rusty.
-
We do this. It’s fucking a bit lifeless and dull as we try to work out how to break them down. We need more urgency and speed.
-

Stevenage here we go.

Lovely!
-
We’ll win this but it’s not going to be gorgeous.
-
C'mon ref it's Xmas let's have some cards...
-
Shows how we miss Torres coming out of the back with confidence and pinging passes all of the place.
-
Hints of the Mostar game so far. Well in control but struggling to create much against an organised defensive side.
-
Yep. We don’t look like possible PL leaders right now.
-
On the BBC Text. The reporter has stated the denied penalty is karma for the "ghost goal" and an arsenal fan stated it is Karma for the penalty they didn't get? For the latter which one? They supposedly should have had five if you look at what the twats claim.
-
United need the win. They'll be coming out to play at some point.
-
Shows how we miss Torres coming out of the back with confidence and pinging passes all of the place.
Lenglet's done it once or twice, to be fair.
Never easy playing against a team with no interest in attacking whatsoever. It's fair enough, that's their prerogative, but fuck me it makes me for a shit spectacle.
-
Cmon Villa!!!!! Do something with the corner
-
Ollie over the bar
-
Yep. We don’t look like possible PL leaders right now.
Even at their best, Citeh and other teams struggle to break down teams that put 11 players in their own third.
-
Yep. We don’t look like possible PL leaders right now.
161 successful passes v 12, I saw a couple of minutes ago.
We are in total control, sit tight and we'll take the lead.
-
They've drawn our sting a bit
-
This is quite frustrating.
-
Nice of them to dress up in school bus yellow to really play the part today
-
If we carry on with this 80% possession they'll get knackered and fuck up.
-
United need the win. They'll be coming out to play at some point.
I think they would be happy drawing or even losing only by 1 or 2. They know it is points against other teams they need, not counting on ones they might fluke against us.
-
Cash doesn't look quite the same quality as everyone else, does he? His willing running covers a multitude of sins.
-
BBC making me laugh
Villa have one of the highest backlines in football. Only Tottenham when down to nine men push higher.
-
This is tough because they know exactly how shit they are and are playing a pretty strict 541 and leaving no space anywhere.
They're aren't attempting to play at all.
-
Why does Cash always do that drag back / cut inside when we're moving forward? It kills our flow
-

It's more of a 5-5-0
-
They've started leaving a foot in as well now. Especially that Norwood prick.

Yeah, I was trying to be kind to Cam.
-

I've stated before when people queried in other matches. If it was something Emery didn't like, the Cash wouldn't be doing it*. I suspect it is something asked to do for retaining possession of certain moves are cut out/ runs are not made.
*Of course he might not like it and that is why he keeps getting dropped.
-
Emery telling the players wake up because he’s falling asleep.
-
One touch toomany Diaby 😣
-
Well it’s not the trouncing that I was hoping would happen. It’s not exactly exciting either.
Was just hoping for a goal shout from PWS!
-
One touch toomany Diaby 😣
SHOOOOOOOOOOT!!
Screamed in Solskaer voice
-
This is like an endless attack v defence drill.
-
A bit painful. Might open up another bottle of wine in a minute.
-
Zero atmosphere here whatsoever.
-
Can see this drifting and getting quite edgy.
-
Has this ref forgot his cards?
-
Zero atmosphere here whatsoever.
I’m sure it’s hard to get too fired up about one team wanting to play and another happy to leave 0-0
-
I remember watching Man City games (because they were all that was on TV) and thinking they looked rubbish because it was all just little short passes to each other, but obviously it was because the opposition weren't trying to play football. I guess it's a good thing that we're in that position now, but it's not half dull at times.
-
Need to get more incisive.
-
One touch toomany Diaby 😣
SHOOOOOOOOOOT!!
Screamed in Solskaer voice
Sometimes you just need to give it an old fashioned toe poke and hope for the best.
-
Zero atmosphere here whatsoever.
PWS is doing his best!
-
This is a bit like when you play a late pre-season friendly against a team in a league whose calendar starts a couple of weeks later, so they're still smelling of sun-tan lotion and really only half awake.
-
The push on Watkins was a stone cold penalty. Very poor decision.
The fact he pulled his shirt too made the decision even more shocking. Antony Taylor is a shite ref.
The other claims but that was defo penalty
-
This is Nottingham forest game all over
-
Zaniolo worldie to win it in 2nd half. A Christmas miracle!
-
Bailey and Diaby are getting in each other's way a bit. They're both left footed, mind.
-
This is Nottingham forest game all over
He haven’t played badly. Just not decisive or precise. Forest just wasn’t very good.
-

My point. We weren't bad then either, just wasteful
-
The big differecne is that Forest had an idea of how to cause it problems and managed to pull it off twice, these have barely got an idea how to get into our half.
-
We haven't played badly, but we haven't exactly been great either. Sheffield United doing exactly what they need to do and at the moment it's working.
-
Thinking about a bit more, we could do with a right-footed winger here, but we don't really have one in the squad.
It's crying out for Bailey or Diaby to get round the outside instead of cutting into traffic every single time.
-
It’s tough because they’re so compact but our quality of passing and movement isn’t there.
-
2 mins added time
-

FTFY
-
Not creating much have we
-
So much for the attacking line up…
It’s not done much yet.
-
I don't blame SU for playing like this, they are shit and a point would be massive for them. It's up to us to learn how to unlock teams like this as there'll be more and more of them in the future.
-
Little bit like Forest game last season.
-
We’ll win if Sheff Utd keep this dog shit up
-
Half time.
-
Diaby and Bailey on the right is a bit of a waste until now. Watkins other than the pen shout and the row Z effort is so outnumbered, not that he's looking for space. Maybe the only way through is to shoot from outside the box, push Dougie further forward bringing the Donk on.
-
Bit “meh” for the first half.
-
Fucking rubbish
-
Pretty poor to be honest.
Cash just slows everything down.
-
Booo
-
I wish we had Buendia to bring on.
-
I'd get Zaniolo on for Ramsey second half, think he will bully them a little and make some space for the forwards. Be tempted to bring Duran on for Diaby too
-
Need a spark. Maybe bring Bailey on in the second half.
-
Pretty poor to be honest.
Cash just slows everything down.
And goes backwards quite a bit.
-
Not worried
-
Not great, we need to be much sharper. It’s easy for them to reorganise and we’re not really causing any problems.
-

Totally agree - they need lots of points to stay up. 1 would be immense for them. 3 would be beyond the rapture
-
Ita games like this that really highlight that we are not really serious title contenders yet.
1 way traffic and 1 shot on target is poor. Blatant pen not withstanding we need to do a lot more.
-
Need a spark. Maybe bring Bailey on in the second half.
Arf!
-
Fucking rubbish
That's the spirit
-
First half thoughts. Them bit agricultural. Us, missing Pau’s passing and a Diaby right foot.
It’ll come.
-
That was Fcukin shite why are we going down the middle to be faced by six cloggers all the time. What’s happened to our pace?!
-
I think we need to be quicker to get it forward and more direct. They don't look dangerous going forward at all so we don't need to worry about giving the ball away trying throughballs or trying to go past players.
-
That was dreadful. It’s like the annual pass a ball to a man in a yellow shirt competition.
-
I'd take Ramsey off, get Diaby wide and get Duran up front - we're too timid - we lack aggression.
-
That was Fcukin shite why are we going down the middle to be faced by six cloggers all the time. What’s happened to our pace?!
That would be the hundred or so yellow shirts camped between the centre circle and the 18 yard line. They can't just run through them, they remain solid matter.
Most worrying, they're getting at us a bit in the counter-press. Must improve.
-
Cash is a massive weak link.
No threat whatsoever. If we moved the ball around quicker in the final third we would rip them to shreds, but walking football is easy to defend against.
Have they got a crap keeper? Who knows, we have barely tested him
-
Diaby and Bailey are trying the take the piss, thinking they are the cream. Our passing and movement needs to improve in the second half. One shot on target is poor. Defo a penalty for Watkins though, the more you see it, the more it looks like a blatant push. You should never, ever take anything for granted and if we think we can hang 11 shirts out just to beat this lot, we are wrong, we still have to turn in a performance.
-
No creative movement
They will handle this all night
-

Defo get Duran on to rough them up, we're not passing through these.
-

This in spades.
-
Also, really should have had a penalty.
-
They are doing well in keeping their very defensive shape, they aren't letting us pull them out of position so there's no gaps to play through. Hopefully they'll tire a bit both mentally and physically and gaps will open. We've shown a number of times we'll keep going and can score late.
-
We’ve played fine except for some wayward passes and decision making.
-
Pretty much like a re-run of the Brentford match except we're not losing at HT. As expected tbh.
Bench looks more and more shit as the injuries pile up.
-
Frustrating, but they were always going to play like this. Need McGinn further forward as he's doing a lot of his good work too deep at the moment.
Just need to be patient and I think the chances will come.
-
Well that was crap. Cash is very poor and final ball isn't good enough either.
Ref letting them away with kicking us at every opportunity too.
-
Very frustrating
Gotta say sheff United have been very impressive defensively
-
I can't wait until we get a proper RB.
-
Too predictable. Need another dimension.

"Told you we don't need a new stand with shit like that!"
-
Two penalties not given.They would have been fouls outside the box.Totally sick of refs and var.
-
Rapidly losing patience with Diaby. No matter the opposition or tactics he’s done knack all for weeks.
-
I’m normally tearing out what’s left of my hair when we take needless speculative potshots. We’re going to need them tonight. And of course we’ve taken none.
-
Harsh crowd on here tonight! We need to lift the tempo. Our left flank has been very average and I really don't like McGinn left of Luiz in that two. Moreno will come on very shortly I think. Bailey and Diaby getting in each other's way a bit at times too. Their LB is dreadful and we have had some joy there.
-
Sharpen up the passing, better movement, up the damn tempo.
-
Two penalties not given.They would have been fouls outside the box.Totally sick of refs and var.
100%. The shove on Watkins was the definition of “clear and obvious error.”
-
They've had 0 shots, 0 corners, have completed just 7 passes in the final third and touched the ball 3 times in our box. Sums up the intent we're up against.
-
A bit like the Brentford game and som of the European games where the opposition park the bus and we dont have players and / or systems to play through them.
-

This is the type of game where we really miss Tielemans and also the quality Pau has with longer passes.
-
On the BBC Text. The reporter has stated the denied penalty is karma for the "ghost goal”
Someone should tell the BBC that karma does not exist. It’s a totally unscientific “spiritual” load of bollocks.
I should really put this in the things that piss me off in Off Topic.
-

100 % Agree

Anyway duran and zaniolo and zan winning it

Patience needed. Could be a 94th minute winner here.
-
Far too many through balls being over hit, but fair play to Wilder, he's done a good job on them as a defensive unit, still confident of a win, helped by the Holte End.
-
One shot on goal, Cash terrible again and as great as a keeper he is I wish he would stop pissing around deciding which full back to give it to.
-
It won’t be a 4 or 5 - 0 result.
But I think it’ll be 2-0. We just need to score early in the 2nd half and we’ll get the result.
-
Pretty poor to be honest.
Cash just slows everything down.
Cash isn't on same wavelength with quicker beaks for sure
-
When we do win the ball back we are far too slow counter attacking. Passing it backwards is what they want us to do and we're obliging.
-

Cash is our keeper? Fucking hell, good job Sheffield haven't got any chances at all.

Come on Villa. We need a win to make sure of prem football next season.
-

It feels like he's risk averse. Like he's been told "do NOT lose the ball when attacking", so he's checking back instead of playing even an 80% ball forward.
-

Bench looks more and more shit as the injuries pile up.
In no way is it the same game, Brentford were way more of a threat at this point.
They're defending with everyone back trying to catch up on the counter. We are slowing it right down again and overplaying it which is allowing them to get back in position 9 times out of 10.
It's literally deja vu!
We can still make some magic happen though if we speed things up. This ref is a clown though so expect more blatant fouls and no cards.

Great book with ACD in it by Julian Barnes and set in Birmingham (kind of) about the Great Wyrley Outrages: Arthur & George (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_%26_George)
A sort of fiction based on fact.
-
Bailey gets yellow.
-
That’s the first booking? Jeez.
-
Cash seems our week point
-
Cash seems our week point
same with my life too :D
-
We're slowing it down when we win it back because they've still got 7-8 players back and in position to close up the space. That's why there's no attacking intent, they're terrified of us catching them on the break.
Our game plan all year is that if we can't go through a team in a few passes we recycle and try to pull them out of shape.
Us getting the first yellow card of the game was as inevitable as the rising of the sun.

Edit. Fuck it!

Agree100%
We'd have lost to Bournemouth without him.
-
Feels like our European games
-
I think we’re missing Kamara and Torres here.
-
Frustrating
We are taking too long to get the ball forward. Its very very slow. Its like conference game
-
I'm going to call him Cashback from now on.
-
It's meant to be slow, we're trying to encourage them to press.
-
I'm going to call him Cashback from now on.
He’s been watching a lot of Jack Grealish videos
-
Sheff Utd look like they'll be taking off their full back that's on a yellow
-
Wheres andre green when you need him?
-
Cash seems our week point
Edit. Fuck it!
Didn't follow the chat before
-
Almost like we're trying to score the perfect goal
-
What do they do all week in training? We expend 27 pages on how we are going to funeral them to death, and we get this.
-
SCOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
It's very strange how Diaby races to get out of the box when he receives the ball in it.
-
BAILEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
-
Bailey!!!!
-
BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
-
We can't win every game you know?

Yessssssssssss

Get the fuck in

VAR check, of course

Diaby and Bailey really do not work together on the right. Cash can provide the overlap but isn't good enough in the final third. I'd stick Zaniolo out there.
-
That feels better. I can feel the tension lifting.
Like a well timed winky
-
Yessss
-
Get in

-
Oh Jesus VAR.
Back to watching for PWS
-
Var 😔
-
Fuck var
-
FFS!
-
Different phase of play. Fuck off VAR.
-
Thank fook for that
-
****** going the screen
-
Oh Jesus VAR.
Back to watching for PWS
Don't you have a stream?
-
Ref goes to the screen
-
ridiculous
-
Disallowed
-
Ah the tension is back
-
No goal
-
Sheffield utd playing holding ramsay roo
Var always wants to chalk off goals
What the fuckkkk
-
Oh fucking hell, what bollocks.
-
That's a disgrace. He is having his shirt pulled and it is a different phase of play.
-
Its a foul
-
Fuck this VAR.
-
Fuck's sake. It was a foul though.
-
What about Ramsay being fouled?!?
-
Fuck off bald wanker
-
That is utter shit
-
Conspiracy time but that's fucking bullshit! That and the pens
-
They had their chance to clear it, and fucked it up.
-
How is that a foul but the shove in the back on Watkins wasn't awful decision.
At least the c**ts might shut up about goalline tech now though.
-
Sheffield utd player grabbing his fucking shirt
So they want the ****** winning the league
-
Ramsey was the one being fouled there.
-
Don’t see a foul myself - either way, at least we’ve shown there’s a way through
-
Fucking shit
-
It's going to be "one of them"
-
Come on Villa! FTF!
-
Ah crap it.
Back to square 1.
-
bit dumb from Ramsey
-
It went back in Sheffield utds possession and then they lost it
-
All I want for Christmas is VAR chucked in the bin
-
Dumb foul.
-
How is that a foul but the shove in the back on Watkins wasn't awful decision.
At least the c**ts might shut up about goalline tech now though.
Watkins decision was a foul and hence wrong.
This is correct.
-
Ramsey was fouled but that seems to have been ignored.
-
He grabs the keeper because he's having his shirt pulled. Fucking absolutely bollocks.
-
Ramsey was holding the 'keeper's arm. Clear foul.
Just like the blatant push on Watkins in the first half.
-
bit dumb from Ramsey
Very. Don't grab the keeper at all, you're not going to get away with it.
-
Take Ramsey off. Been shite all game.
-
And our set pieces have been fucking useless today.
-
Ramsey was holding the 'keeper's arm. Clear foul.
Just like the blatant push on Watkins in the first half.
I think most people are asking when a phase of play changes so a foul in one phase of play is not looked at for other VAR calls.
-
It was second play for the goal though
-
I wish Diaby would just fucking shoot for once
-
We don’t look like scoring here.
-
Just knew they would do theie utmost to screw us
-
Sheff Utd have shown a lot of discipline holding their structure. This is frustrating though.
-
0-0 would be a travesty.
-
My wife is next door watching Love Actually. Such is my level of frustration with this performance, that I’m actually considering it right now
-
Not happening tonight, lads. All of this will be seen as squaring up the goal which wasn't given against us by Hawkeye against this lot a few years ago. Not only that but we haven't been good enough.
-
My wife is next door watching Love Actually. Such is my level of frustration with this performance, that I’m actually considering it right now
That bad?
-
Sheff Utd have shown a lot of discipline holding their structure. This is frustrating though.
Very similar to Zrinjski
-
This is Villa... we don't grab these chances
-
We just aren't moving the ball quickly enough.
-
bit dumb from Ramsey
Ramsey holding to keep his balance as he was having his shirt pulled off his back.
-
Sheff Utd have shown a lot of discipline holding their structure. This is frustrating though.
They’re doing very well
-
bit dumb from Ramsey
Ramsey holding to keep his balance as he was having his shirt pulled off his back.
He should have fallen down
-
Seems it has got so bad, BBC are removing shots at goal from our total even when we have one.
-
These commentators should move on.
-
JD and Moreno coming on
-
Changes needed.
-
Changes needed.
I hear that JD and Moreno are coming on.
-
0-0 would be a travesty.
A travesty? Really?!
-
That’s fucking handball
-
Surely they have another angle to check that handball?
-
Digne and Diaby off
-
Fucking joking.
-
Fuck me how the fuck is that his shoulder?
-
Fuck me they're desperate not to give us a pen today.
-
0-0 would be a travesty.
A travesty? Really?!
Yes. We’re all over them. A fine performance.
-
How is that no a penalty?!? What the feck is going on?!?!?
-
The premier league don’t want us top.
-
Ah that’s a handball dead on.
Piss poor. VAR trying to screw us over
-
That's the most blatant actual handball I've seen in ages!
-
Blatant handball
-
0-0 would be a travesty.
A travesty? Really?!
Yes. We are meant to win every game we play.
-
They don’t want us top. Upsets the script too much
-
This is dire.
-
Fucking hell, Villa, COME ON!
-
All you can do is laugh.
-
Only got ourselves to blame if we don't win this. 1 shot on target at home against bottom of the league is unacceptable
-
Fuck sake Bailey
-
We are 100% being screwed out of this win!
-
How is that not handball. HOW. What the fuck is going on here.
-
What a waste leon
-
Aston Villa v Anti Football this is.
-
Sheff Utd have shown a lot of discipline holding their structure. This is frustrating though.
They've been fouling loads.
-
Just wait for the club to bang on about another unbeaten at home after this - got to find some sort of silver lining.
-
It’s just not going to happen here.
-
FFS Bailey!!
-
For all our possession though, we haven't created many good opportunities. Just snatched half chances.
-
How is that not handball. HOW. What the fuck is going on here.
Antony Taylor.
-
They found an angle where it wasn't an arm
-
Sheffield is estimated to contain more than 4.5 million trees.
Google.
-
The ref and VAR are a fucking waste of space.
-
Ahhh Love Actually is calling.
It’s not happening tonight and we’re going to stop our home record to this Tony Pulis styled performance.
-
For all our possession though, we haven't created many good opportunities. Just snatched half chances.
Apart from three penaltys and a perfectly good goal.
-
Looks like the winning run at home is coming to an end.
I'm trying to tempt fate here.
-
It’s just not going to happen here.
Yup
-
I'm not bothered about their anti football, it would've been nice if some of our players showed this fight in our relegation season. It's up to us to break them down, and currently we don't look like doing it. Christmas ruined.
-
Jesus, thank fuck for Emi there
-
Good save
-
We will win. It’ll be carnage
-
What a fucking wasted opportunity this will be if we don’t win. And to snap our win streak against this fucking lot. Cmon Villa. Don’t fucking so what we expect you to do and take advantage of this golden chance.
-
Sheff utd have just had as many shots on target as us. Not good enough
-
We are going to funeral these.
-
Looks like the winning run at home is coming to an end.

I've had a shit day. I knew this was coming.
-

That's not the same as carving them open though, is it?
-
Last minute winner, I reckon.
-
So laboured.
-
Poor ollie
-
We are going to funeral these.
It’s certainly a dirge
-
Fuck me. Ollie with a chance. Typical of today in its ineptitude
-
Christ this is annoying
-
Running out of ideas. Every high ball towards Watkins goes to their keeper
-
Blimey they nearly get a goal
-
Zaniolo coming on. Worldie incoming.
-
You need great close control and quick passing against a defence like this. We've had neither tonight.
-
Sheff U will probably nick this.
-
Fucking hell that was close for them.
-
Sheff U will probably nick this.
They nearly did
-
Piss poor, they look far more like they’ll score.
-
They look the more likely now
-
Fucking hell that was close for them.
They could pinch this. You can their getting more confident
-
Not sure why Ramsey's still on. He's contributed nothing.
-
Zanigol on now
-
Need better than cash
Ain't good enough
-
we ain't scoring
-
Got to make sure we don't fuck up and lose this if we get too ragged chasing the goal
-
Their fans singing 'United'.
Which one eh? Newcastle? Leeds? Manchester? Brighton and Hove? West Bromwich?
-
Sheffield utd look more likely to score than us. We been so poor as a attacking force today.
-
Cash has had a poor game. A lot of them have been below par. Haven’t worked out how to break down their defensive line.
-
Got to make sure we don't fuck up and lose this if we get too ragged chasing the goal
Keep us updated! Cheers!
-
Zaniolo for a big bloke is so easily knocked off the ball.
-
Zaniolo is a donkey.
-
I’ve been dragged into Love Actually.
-
Really missing Torres
-
Sheffield Donkey FC.
-
Some sloppy stuff here
-
Fuck off var
-
Red card check against JD
-
What a fucking disaster
-
Archer scores
-
There you go.
-
OMFG incredible.
-
Wtf
-
It's the VAR show. FFS!
What is the decision PWS?
-
If they send duran off for that im done
-
Pathetic. Wankers.
-
Ooooooh dear.
-
Jesus Christ.
-
Fuck me. Of course it’s Archer
-
Got to make sure we don't fuck up and lose this if we get too ragged chasing the goal
If you can't win, don't fucking lose
-
WHY THE FUCK DID I NOT BET ON THIS HAPPENING.
-
Fuck off
-
Unbelievable.
-
I fucking knww it
-
Total and utter bullshit
-
Fuck off Emery
-
Classic.
-
Bottle job
-
Lines fluffed. How predictable.
-
WHY THE FUCK DID I NOT BET ON THIS HAPPENING.
I did at 14-1
-
We were always gonna lose* at some point. I hate to go like this, but fuck it, Villa have been brilliant this season. We can take it.
-
Bloody dreadful. Piss poor stuff.
-
Pathetic stuff here. Offered fuck all in the final third.
-
Holy shit, Happy Christmas from Aston Villa.
-
Merry fucking Christmas. Fuck you, Villa.
-
Fuck off Emery
Good grief
-
We never ever fucking take advantage of great opportunities to proceed as a club.
-
Emery out.
-
Screw off, Villa.
-
Heck burst our bubble the ******
-
Who said their keeper was shit?
-
Sort it out Emery!
-
Emery out.
You're funny.
-
Absolute fucking shit tonight.
-
Wow. Bad result but they happen. But some of the over the top bullshit being spouted on here.
"Fuck off Emery"
WFTAF????
-
U real
-
As expected
-
WHY THE FUCK DID I NOT BET ON THIS HAPPENING.
£110 incoming for me! Do you want to bet against us? Yup!
-
Who said their keeper was shit?
We have no idea. He's had fuck all to do.
Edit. Just makes a nice save
-
Well I don’t know about you lot, but I do not rate this Aston United 150 lot.
-
WHY THE FUCK DID I NOT BET ON THIS HAPPENING.
I did at 14-1
Same here, we was always going to lose this run to a team like Sheffield United. Didn't think the ref would shaft us quite thus much though. Still time for the draw though, I hope I don't win my bet.
-
Duran was just trying to stop the guy pulling his shirt, he wasn't trying to hit the other guy.
-
Despise Shff Utd the agricultural ******
-
9 minutes or stoppage time.
-
9 mins added time
-
As expected
I TOLD YOU
-
Who said their keeper was shit?
Ha ha! I remember that one. Own up!!!
-
Why was it their free kick before the goal? The guy was all over Duran and it should've bene a yellow card and our free kick.
-
Subs were too late. 2nd half we did not much,
-
Despise Shff Utd the agricultural ******
They had a sensible plan and have implemented it well.
We've just been very poor.
-
Cheated out of this
-
Why was it their free kick before the goal? The guy was all over Duran and it should've bene a yellow card and our free kick.
We weren't concentrating
-
Gutted by our performance tonight. Simply pathetic.
And I blame entirely Kamara as we have missed him tonight. And Torres but we couldn’t do anything about injuries. Kamara is totally self inflicted.
-
Cheated out of this
Ah yes, but the hawkeye goal etc
-

Just cash out, I have.
-
1-0 down, two corners from Luiz. One straight to a defender. One on to the roof of the net. Great.
-
Cheated out of this
Antony Taylor strikes again.
-
Remember when we scored 3 in the last few minutes against these?
-
This is the absolute most Villa thing ever.
-
That penalty should have stood against Ollie. That goal should have stood for it being a new phase of play. The ****** punched the fucking ball away with his arm. And we’ve been done by a goal by a former player. Fuck me
-
Absolute wank Villa.
-
I think Tielemans has been a bigger miss than Kamara or Torres tonight.
-
Ah well. It won’t ruin my Xmas. We’re near the top. 12 months ago we were near the bottom. There’s more to my life than Villa. Soz.
-

This all day and all weekend.
-
Suckered in, woeful.
-
If we’d played with this level of urgency at 0-0 we’d have won. Tactically this was very poor by Emery tonight. That despite the shit that has gone against us.
-
Why was it their free kick before the goal? The guy was all over Duran and it should've bene a yellow card and our free kick.
We weren't concentrating
Not sure how they changes it from being a foul on Duran, either the ref fucked up and forgot what he'd blown up for or he fucked up and gave them a free kick for nothing.
-
I think Tielemans has been a bigger miss than Kamara or Torres tonight.
Agree, he threads passes through the eye of the needle.
-
Zaniolo is fucking dreadful.
-
Noticed we've suddenly started running instead of strolling. Maybe should have done that in the first half.
-
Refs a ****** .paid by man City
-
Ah well. It won’t ruin my Xmas. We’re near the top. 12 months ago we were near the bottom. There’s more to my life than Villa. Soz.
I know. Same here.
-
Zaniolo is fucking dreadful.
Fucking clown. How he never stays on his feet is beyond me.

Duran backed into their player before his shirt was pulled. Soft, mind.
-
Wow. Bad result but they happen. But some of the over the top bullshit being spouted on here.
"Fuck off Emery"
WFTAF????
Sorry, but if we're going to slap him on the back for the good things, he needs pulling over the bad. This has been an awful performance which he has to take responsibility for. He does himself no favours tonight
-
We've been out shit housed.
And the refs a tool.
-
Appalling cameos from Duran and Zaniolo.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
ZANIOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Get in!!!!
-
Maybe a few less people can write about us and a few players can stop believing the hype. Get back to what got us here. We’ve shit the bed tonight.
-
Zaniolo is fucking dreadful.
?
-
FUCK ME ZANIOLO
-
boutflippintimeoooooo
-
Lovely goal, rescues us from our poorness
-
YEEEESSSSSSSSS!
-
If we’d played with this level of urgency at 0-0 we’d have won. Tactically this was very poor by Emery tonight. That despite the shit that has gone against us.
Same as Forest. Have lots of possession and do fuck all with it. Concede every clear opportunity.
-
Zaniooooolo!
-
Get in
-
Zaniolo is fucking dreadful.
That aged well.
-
Zanigol!
-
Get the fuck in.
Family woken up.
-
YESSSS ZANI!
-
Finally he’s up and running
-
Said at the start their keeper is shit at crosses. Why we didn’t test him more is beyond me.
-
Wooo
-

But "Fuck off Emery". There is only so much any team can do when defending against 10 around the box. Every major team has this happen to some extent. Maybe some of the players were as willing as the fans that this would be a "funeraling" but it is the manager who has to "fuck off".
I've seen league leaders lose and or struggle to win in exactly the same circumstances and in other matches, they get the VAR call go for them and go on and win.
-
Cash booked and now suspended.
-
Full time
-
Where’s all them lot who were slagging him off for weeks?
Right here. He has been rubbish all season. One goal does not change that.
-
Cash booked and now suspended.
Took one for the team there, I reckon.
-
Cash booked and now suspended.
Not too bothered about that, to be honest.

No he hasn't.

Cash suspended for Old Trafford then.

I'd send him back if we can

You’ve been there? There must be better places to discuss this but my Dad worked there and I really enjoyed my visit.
-
Sheffield United earned their point, we kept going and got an equaliser. I’m probably not as disappointed as I should be. I think if we’d drawn against Arsenal and won this one we wouldn’t be that bothered.
-

I have. Fantastic weed!
-
Archer scores
It just had to happen.
-
It did but a point is a point. Strange how it feels better equalising than if we’d just drawn 0-0. We’re more resilient than we used to be so I’m happier. 10 points from City,Arensal Brentford and Sheff Utd is a great haul 🙌🏼
