442 gabby and carew get in!!!
-
Ah bollocks. I really hope we don't pay for this. Bizarre tactic, 4-4-2 with no central creativity and two strikers one of whose effort at least is always suspect, the other on occasionally suspect. There is no creativity in the centre of this team - and no, Petrov doesn't count. A bizarre selection.
-
442 gabby and carew get in!!!
Since Carew hasn't 'got in' for god knows how long, I wish I could share your excitement. So much hinges on what sort of mood he is in given the line up and that worries me greatly. Hope I am eating my words in a couple of hours......
-
Friedel, Walker, Dunne, Collins, Clark, Albrighton, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Downing, Carew, Agbonlahor.
-
real shame kinda wishing to see Gary Gardner, Chris Herd and Wieman after the 10-1 thrashing of Arsenal in the week in with the subs
-
Big decision to bring Carew back, bizarre decision to drop Cueller when he has been our most consistent defender this season (which is not saying a lot) but at least theres no Pires and we start with 11.
-
At least we've got 2 fullbacks who can actually offer something going forward for the first time in ages. Formation looks better when you factor that in.
-
Right then, time for Gabby and Carew to put in a performance.
Pretty obvious our threat is going to come from balls into the box.
-
I am terrified. Come on Villa.
-
I am terrified. Come on Villa.
This. Please, please, please win today Villa.
-
Come On You Villa Boys!
-
If I may be the first to ask for a link to a decent stream of the match.
-
They've boarded up the toilets. Given us portaloos.
-
Have they boarded up the Tilton to stop the 'Noses ripping up their own seats?
-
I am terrified. Come on Villa.
This. Please, please, please win today Villa.
Agreed. The only way I can handle the football talk at works is because the boss is a Liverpool fan. Come on Villa, give us something to be happy about tomorrow morning!
-
We really need a gutsy performance from the boys today. Individually we are far superior, we need to make that show.

Not sure i agree with that. We are 19th in the league.
-
We've got better players. Today is all about desire and commitment, and the manager plays a huge role in inspiring that.
-

Not sure i agree with that. We are 19th in the league.
How many of our players would you swap for theirs?
-
We are a good team playing shit passionless football, if we get the passion back into our team and I believe the quality will follow.
-
Why has he dropped Cuellar? Anyway please don't be at home to Mr Cock Up today Villa.

Foster for Friedel and thats it
-
just seen the team are we really playing Gabby out wide?
-
A win today would be great- would be nice to do it in style but I'd take a scrappy 1-0, come on john , do it for us one last time and leave us on good terms with the winner!
-

Looking very good so far.
-
I suppose on paper he sees this as his first choice - mostly senior pros- selection. Webcam nothwithstanding.
Don't understand Carlos being out and I think I might have dropped Wee Barry in if it wasn't a Small Heath bloodfest. Petrov/NRC better be fired up and let's hope Downing has a good'un. Impressed with him this season.
I can see Marc riding some pretty hairy tackles an'all. They will give him plenty of verbal too. NRC might have to step in. A lot depends on JC.
-
just seen the team are we really playing Gabby out wide?
With Downing and Albrighton on I hope not. Unless Downing is playing behind Carew,
-
Right now I think we need Carew with Young and Heskey out, and Gabby up front on his own just isn't working.
It is the sort of fixture under O'Neill I would have gone for a Villa win without thinking about it, but now the way things are going and with Birmingham being strong at home, I think it end a draw which is no good for us right now.
2-2
Carew and Albrighton for us
Bentey and Jerome for them

Thankyou sir

It's in the bag! Carew will score today!

Johnson for Collins, Gardner for Petrov, Hleb for Reo Coker,
Not sure i agree with that. We are 19th in the league.
How many of our players would you swap for theirs?
Johnson for Collins, Gardner for Petrov, Hleb for Reo Coker, Foster for Friedel (partly because he's younger). On current form Jerome is more of a threat than Agbonlahor.
Ridgewell and Clark are pretty similar. Ridgewell edges in experience.
Downing, Walker and Albrighton i'd keep and Carew(on the odd occasion he cares is better than Zigic.
This is going on this seasons form.
-
claret shorts :-\
-
Morning gents.
Happy with the team selection, now all they need to do is turn up and play to their true potential. No excuses.
-
Any flare-ups yet?
Sorry
;-)
-
COME ON LADS!!!!
-
Please tell me Gabby is not on the left as skysports just stated!
-
Sky Sports are showing us as playing 4 5 1..........Gabby on the left and Downing playing behind Carew :-(
-
HI How is every one feeling?
-
Gabby on the wing? Jesus. Come on Villa!
-
Gabby on the wing according to skysports what is Houllier doing he scored in the last 3 derby's should be up top!!!
-
Lots of empty spaces....
-
I hope Gabby moves up front sharpish. Come on Carew, do something.
-
Veetles playing up for me, hate to ask but any non-veetle streams?
-
cumon villa!!!!!
-
Come on you fuckers!

COME ON VILLA
-
Let's have these nasty reptiles.
-
This is horrible. Hate the feeling, and hate that there is so much on it now.
-
THATS WHY WE NEED A GOALSCORER
-
What a miss
-
fucking hell Gabby how didn't you score.
-
Ridiculous miss for a Premiership striker
-
he should be scoring that FFS
-
Fucking hell Gabby
-
gabby?? should be 1 up
-
Christ.
-
Oh gabby!
-
Oh, Gabby....
-
close Downing.
-
Come on Villa.
-
Is it too early to think its gonna be one of those days?
-
Yeah I am pleased Carew is back for this game, but I think he should playing up there with Gabby, and Downing on one wing, and Albrghton on the other. It really isn't rocket shilence!
Oh there you go we should be a goal up already ;)
-
Good start Villa.
-
you vant blame the manager when a player cant score that fooker
-
COME ON VILLA!
-
Dunne booked shocking challenge.
-
We need to take advantage of the opportunities.
Come on Villa!
-
Is it too early to think its gonna be one of those days?
Maybe. Not just you thinking it, though.
-
centre half booked within 5 minutes great.
-
Dunne got the fucking ball.
-
Is it too early to think its gonna be one of those days?
Maybe. Not just you thinking it, though.
No I am thinking that too
-
Brilliant. Dunne needs to go 87 mins without making a challenge.
-
what an ugly ****** Gardner is
-
larsson not playing then?
-
Empty seats my Lord.
-
Make it count Villa.
-
You have to feel for Houllier a bit. Gabby misses a chance like that. Heskey does last week. Some of the errors from Dunne and Collins this season. Difficult to legislate for it.
-
off the bar, great overlap Kyle.
-
Im liking walker alot
-
Why is Gabby playing on the left wing?
-
Evening all, my slightly nervous fellow Villa fans.
Bright start from our boys.
-
playing well,gota take these chances though
-
Great cross from Walker.
-
Why is Gabby playing on the left wing?
He will burn Carr for pace
-
Why is Gabby playing on the left wing?
well hes create a chance from that position already , just missed the fooker
-
Played Reo there
-
midfield have to steped up with Jean II in the wings
-
How on earth is there only 12 minutes gone!
-
I wish we'd stop hoofing it.
-
downings looking good
-
Bentley's just running past Clark whenever he feels like it..
-
Afternoon all. Bentley seems to be having a lot of joy down his wing at the moment.
-
Carew needs to get about their defenders a bit more
-
Morning all - unsociably early here. How has it been so far?
-
Carew needs to get about their defenders a bit more
"a bit"
-
Veetles playing up for me, hate to ask but any non-veetle streams?
http://www.atdhe.net/32653/watch-birmingham-vs-aston-villa
-
Quick thought, apart from players that they have bought off us do SHA have any Birmingham born players in their first eleven today?
-
Is tight, horrible, and I want the final whislte now
-
Morning all - unsociably early here. How has it been so far?
Nowt special either way really, we've had the best effort to date. Bit scrappy as you'd maybe expect.
-
Morning all - unsociably early here. How has it been so far?
End to end but Gabby has missed a good chance and Carew hit the top of the bar
-
Is tight, horrible, and I want the final whislte now
0-0 is no use to us.
-
We'll struggle if Gabby has to play with his back to goal for the whole game. He's supposed to be the flying forward and he's constantly getting the ball into feet and having to turn. What a waste.
-
We're not looking particularly dangerous going forward. Sorry, hoofing forward.
-
Morning all - unsociably early here. How has it been so far?
Morning usav. And I though midday on a Sunday was unsociably early!
-
Is tight, horrible, and I want the final whislte now
0-0 is no use to us.
Much better than losing and them being 4 in front of us instead of 1
-
I thought we only had 1500 tickets? Either we don't, or the normal allocation is not 3000 as is claimed.
-
Off the bar again. Oh, foul anyway.
-
walkers made a massive difference to RB
-
Carew looks a different player today.
-
fucking hell Kyle, careful.
-
Miss of the match
-
Derbyshire open goal - miss.
Shit from Walker then.
-
Walker with a Warnock moment.
-
well coming forward maybe ;-)
-
walkers made a massive difference to RB
Poor defensively then
-
bar again.
-
Off the bar again, fuck!
-
Sky reported 1800 tickets for us.
-
Good stuff Villa, keep it up!
-
When we put decent crosses in Gabby and Carew look dangerous in the air. Reo Coker and Petrov hiding from the ball though. Is Delph on the bench?
-
Downing bottling again.
-
Well in Clarke
-
Good game so far to be fair.
-
When we put decent crosses in Gabby and Carew look dangerous in the air. Reo Coker and Petrov hiding from the ball though. Is Delph on the bench?
No
-
That was another challenge that Downing jumped out of then. Albrighton and Walker owning that right wing though.
-
Any more hitting the bar and we shall have to breathalyse the players.
-
Reo Coker is nails.
-
Well in Nige
-
Downing, bottling.
-
Gardner, the tosser with no number.
Come on you Villa.
-
I thought that Jimbo. Carr is there for the taking and Downing bottled it totally.
Come on Villa.
-
Come on Villa!
-
Is that bar 3 and off line 1. Can't say they are not playing for the manager here. Keep this sort of display up till May and we will be ok, even if we lose this one.
-
They are getting a lot of cheap and not really real free kicks.
-
They've got the upper hand on possession, are making more challenges count, we're making too many silly fouls and aren't making our chances count. It needs to improve.
-
Is that bar 3 and off line 1. Can't say they are not playing for the manager here. Keep this sort of display up till May and we will be ok, even if we lose this one.
Yes, when he arrived Houllier said we are not a top six team, then he downgraded us to "needing to survive".
-
good to see Coker getting stuck in.
-
Not many noses there.
-
Pleat is right, Gabby and Downing should swap places.
-
They are on top now, midfield needs to get a grip.
-
Is that bar 3 and off line 1. Can't say they are not playing for the manager here. Keep this sort of display up till May and we will be ok, even if we lose this one.
Sorry Ozz but that's nonsense. If they cant put in a half decent shift in a lock derby against a relegation rival then something's serious wrong. If we carry on not scoring, we'll go down.
-
Thought Marc had given away a pen there.
-
Gardner shouldn't be on the pitch with blood down his face.
-
They're the better team at the moment.
-
Not happy with Clattenberg hugging Blue players during the game.
-
We have badly dropped off the pace here.
-
Albrighton REALLY needs to start thinking about his tackling!
-
Bloody hell Marc - you need to cut that out of your game.
-
We have badly dropped off the pace here.
Agreed, we've gone a bit shite.
-
Petrov needs to do something.
-
Albrighton has not looked himself at all today.
-
We're looking clueless going forward. Unless we hoof it.
-
There's very little quality on show today. Both sides look like relegation battlers.
-
I thought Downing started ok , hes gone poor now
-
Just in - how we playing?
-
Cue Benny Hill theme.
-
Petrov for fucks sake, he has been abysmal.
-
There's very little quality on show today. Both sides look like relegation battlers.
I'd disagree with that a bit, Risso - it's hardly like watching Barcelona, but I think we have played some decent stuff, although not as incisive as we need it to be. But it looks like what it is, a local derby full of energy but not so much about the quality.
-
Close for them.
-
Lucky there, we're on thin ice.
-
We've gone to sleep.
-
Just in - how we playing?
Shite - but so are they.
-
Good effort Marc
-
We keep stopping our attacks on the halfway line.
-
Why so negative?! Get Gabby up top, we dont need 5 accross the middle today.
-
There's very little quality on show today. Both sides look like relegation battlers.
They've at least got the bottle for a relegation fight, we look like we're going down without a whimper, while the players tell themselves it's all fine, they're too good to go down, we'll still finish 6th.
Even in this game after the first 5 minutes or so most of them look pretty uninterested.
-
I hope we don't rue the early missed chances.
-
first 25 minutes were good, next 20 minutes not so good. Petrov really needs to actually do something.
-
Switch Gabby and Downing at half time, Gerard.
-
Bentley gets into some decent positions but his final ball is woeful.
-
Petrov has been anonymous again in the middle. Can see why he is so keen to sign 2 new central midfielders
-
first 25 minutes were good, next 20 minutes not so good. Petrov really needs to actually do something.
Is Petrov still on the pitch?
-
why has he moved Gabby wide, Downing had to move inside. We could have had three at 442. Now JC ain't seeing the ball and we are inviting them to us. I don't getit. Gone defensive.???
-
What happened to our pace attack. We reach the halfway line then Petrov slows down and goes sideways.

one who can tackle and one who can pass hopefully...
-
Carr should be booked.
-
Switch Gabby and Downing at half time, Gerard.
Maybe, but it's worth noting that Gabby does a fair bit more from a defensive point of view...but would be more effective for us going forward I think.
-
We need to step this up, we have to win.
-
should be winning.
They got stronger as the half went on. The defence did well.
Need more from Petrov and Downing now.. and have to put our chances away ( as usual)
Albrighton causing them problems..
-
A win would be great, but a draw is not a disaster here. It means they go nowhere in front of us and we will improve as more players come in.
-
Carr should be booked.
He should be taken to the zoo to find some natural friends.
-
After a bright start, we are conceding midfield - Petrov anonymous
I would get John 'I may be bigger than you but I don't half play like a big girl's blouse' Carew off as he has fallen into his usual hop, skip and jump into a player, giving away a foul' routine, shift Gabby up front and beef up midfield
Clark awful positionally, Walker great going forward, dodgy at the back
Albrighton really needs to learn the art of defence as he is very, very worrying in and around our box...
-
Our formation and tactics are all wrong, the only purpose of playing gabby on the wing is to cover Bentley, he aint doing it, there is no movement in front of the ball from us, they are winning the midfield and to me look the better team,
-
Great chance for gabby early on, solid display, bentley looks dangerous but this is so tight it could go either way, at least we seem up for it today .
-
We tried Gabby out wide against Sunderland and we lost. Gabby didn't get in that game and everyone on here and the commentators at the game could see it wasn't working, everyone but Houllier could see it wasn't working and today he has done it again. I have no faith in his tactics. Gabby 87th minute hearder for the 3rd time in a row? Not if he is on left midfield duty. CHANGE IT HOULLIER!! :o
-
I don't think the tactics are wrong, Petrov just needs to do something and we need to take our chances.
-
Not only does Gabby on the wing not work, but he has a record of scoring against these monkeys. Why, then, are we doing our best to minimise his threat by playing him in midfield? Sorry, but it's the manager's fault. It actually defies belief.
-

Indeed, what's wrong with vanilla 4-4-2? Both Gabby and Carew have done ok as a pairing in the last three years, Downing in the middle is a dismal idea.
-
HAHAHA. Jamie Redknapp, "Birmingham are starting to evolve". Quality! ;D
-

I don't think a track record of scoring against a particular team is that big an issue. I'm not GH's biggest fan but can't fault him for that.
-
There is no reason to fuck around with the team today, he has plenty to choose from so playing 2 guys out of position is just barmy, he will wait for them to score and panic
-
I don't think the tactics are wrong, Petrov just needs to do something and we need to take our chances.
I almost forgot he was playing
-
Pretty awful stuff. So much for the football improving under Houllier. This is Stoke without the guts. Anyway diabolical tactics. Gabby on the left when Carew and himself looked dangerous up top together. Reo Coker and Petrov have been so poor. when they hide our centre halves have no option but to go long. Collins and Dunne have been excellent to be honest. Bad mistake from Walker but he has been good going forward.
Birmingham have been totally on top in midfield but Derbyshire up front by himself is terribly negative from McLeish. Murphy is rank at left back we need to target him more.
We need to be brave. Go back to 442. If Delph is on the bench I'd bring him in for Petrov. At least Reo Coker is getting tackles in
-

Put it this way, when Robbie Fowler used to score against us for fun, I'd have been much happier if he'd played every game against us at centre half.

No, I think the tactics are about right, really. I think were Carew being a little more effective a a target man, he'd be able to bring Gabby into play more often. As it stands, the ball is just bouncing off him time and again, giving Birmingham more posession than is comfortable.
-
Andy Townsend on Twitter -
"Derby day, and for my money the atmosphere of Birmingham v Villa is second to none. Only Liverpool v Everton will top it today"
How does that work?
-
Is it me or is clattenberg too busynwith trying to look like and be friends with David bentley than actually concentrate on refereeing??
Complete twat with a twat hair cut. And was was with him putting his arm around bentley too with their penalty decission??
Come on you villa boys. We can do this!!!
-
They have 3 against 2 in the centre because Downing is wandering around aimlessly
-
Sooo....second to one, then?!
-
I'm a bit concerned.
We've had a few decent chances but failed to put them away. Going forward with the full backs and Albrighton we've looked bright to little avail.
Don't see why Cuellar isn't playing. The other two have looked shaky without dropping an error. Yet.
-
They have done their homework attacking down the right gabby not tracking back leaving Clark exposed. Negative from Houllier need gabby in the middle. Petrov has to be replaced, key midfielder done nothing and slows every move down. We are playing narrow giving their midfied far too much room.
-
We can win this if Downing grows a pair. A more gutless prick i have yet to see in a Villa shirt.
-
Come on now Villa.
-
We can win this if Downing grows a pair. A more gutless prick i have yet to see in a Villa shirt.
He is a bit of a girl...
-
Houllier has just tweeted "watching build-up to mighty Reds versus the Toffees, keep getting interrupted by Gary Mac, might have to put my headphones on."
-
We need to get GH some glasses so he can see what the rest of the world can see
-
They should show Downing a few videos of Eamon Deacy.
-
downing that is useless
-
fucking hell John just score.
-
Very poor going forward, bereft of ideas, no urgency, little quality.
-
Houllier has just tweeted "watching build-up to mighty Reds versus the Toffees, keep getting interrupted by Gary Mac, might have to put my headphones on."
What's Mysteryman's take on that?
-
The ref is a total tool. Just look at him.
-
Fuck off
-
Fuck.
-
oh fuck
-
Fucking great I give up.
-
FFFSSSSS
-
Bollocks!
-
Fuck it
-
Fucking hell. Here we go again.
-
Well there's a fucking surprise.
-
Well there you go so fucking predictable
-
what a fooking jamy goal
-
I would prefer Gabby up with Carew - But our best chances have come from him being involved coming in from the left as Carr has not tracked him well. Tactically, if we were 2 up he would be a hero.
Fucking shite. How fucking unlucky are we at the moment at times.
-
Well, that's that then. May as well have the players go home now. Come back from going a goal down? Preposterous.
-
Now get Gabby up front and attack!
-
Gerard, Gabby, middle, now.
-
we are going down GH has not got a fkin clue
-
Wankers.
-
Well, that's that then. May as well have the players go home now. Come back from going a goal down? Preposterous.
my what a bundle of pessimism you are...
-
Its ok with our record of getting points when we have gone behind we will be fine........
oh
-
Now FIGHT!!!!
-
Very, very worried now. Relegation is a big worry when we play like this. What happened to our defence?
-
We can win this if Downing grows a pair. A more gutless prick i have yet to see in a Villa shirt.
Stephen Warnock ?
Downing is a decent player but a bit bland really. For all his attitude issues I'd have Ashley Young ahead of him always.
Fluke goal there. No one tracking Johnsons run
-
How utterly predictable. WTB clean sheet.
-
Again, we see the halfway line and we stop. Christ, we're fucking useless.
-
Fuck you houllier FUCK YOU
-
Too late now, oh well.
-
Exactly the kind of scruffy goal you'd expect.
Bollocks.
I've seen enough in this game to still expect us to win this.
-
Crossing the fucking ball I am sick to death watching these overpaid arseholes.
-

-
Well, that's that then. May as well have the players go home now. Come back from going a goal down? Preposterous.
my what a bundle of pessimism you are...
Is this the first game you've seen us play this season?
-
It looks like Albrighton is just trying too hard
-
You just can't see a goal coming, gents I genuinely believe we are going down.
-
How utterly predictable. WTB clean sheet.
Wank Tits Bollocks?
-
You gotta laugh eh?
-
Christ, when the luck's against you it's really against you. Fuck.
-
The Thumbless ones are chanting, "You're getting sacked in the morning." Please, please, please let it be true.
-
It looks like Albrighton is just trying too hard
He's trying to make up for the rest of the useless fucks on the pitch.
-
Why is it when we go a goal down, we put effort in. I just dont fcukin get it. Thats us done this season. Beaten twice by the blose sitting 2nd from bottom. Ha, time to curl up and die.
-
You just can't see a goal coming, gents I genuinely believe we are going down.
Yep, same here. We don't look able to grind out the results required.
-
fuck how didn't we score
-
Fucking hell.
-
Said it before. GH has made some mistakes but had som terrible luck in games. Another great chance. Missing so fucking many. Handball??
-
Well, we're fighting.
-
its not our day...... that should have been a OG
-
Come on Villa, fucking fight.
-
Houllier needs sacking if he honestly thinks we don't need at least one striker...
-
Houllier's record in the Brum derby is awful. It's looking like a draw and two defeats against the worst Blues side in several years. MON knew had to win these games, Houllier hasn't got a fuckin clue.
-
Why is Petrov on free kicks.
That was a penalty all day long.
-
its not our day...... that should have been a OG
I think you make your own luck. This is pretty fucking awful.
-
Why Petrov? does he really think he has an eye for goal?
-
Houllier out. He still has gabby on the wing
-
If Carew had stood up in the wall it'd still be 0-0
-
Carew's a spent force. Get him off, get Gabby in the middle and bring the Fonz on.
-
GH you need to bring Bannan on NOW!
-
Parry sounds like a fucking Bluenose to me.
-
The number of people on here saying Houllier out is embarrassing. Who can we get that we couldn't have got in the Summer? Let's sack him while transfer dealings are underway shall we, genius. Idiots.
-
We need to go gabby and fonz up front and Carew off- needs to change it fast! Forget sacking houllier, that time has gone and we must get behind him to get out of this .
-
We need to change something here, because this quite clearly wasn't working at 0-0 and at 1-0 it still isn't
-
Bloody shame we're without Young & Heskey; I really think we'd have had enough to win this.
-
Someone. Anyone. Get an equalizer. I'll bite your hand off for the point right now.
-
Carew's a spent force. Get him off, get Gabby in the middle and bring the Fonz on.
Don't think he'd cut it in a game like this, he strikes me as too lightweight.
-
Gabby still on the left ffs it even has David Pleat pissed off
-
The number of people on here saying Houllier out is embarrassing. Who can we get that we couldn't have got in the Summer? Let's sack him while transfer dealings are underway shall we, genius. Idiots.
Yes, let's make sure we at least have some decent players for the Championship.
-
It's hard being a Villa fan at the moment but trying to make it through a whole match thread takes a strong disposition. Enough to drive most sane fans to the cliff's edge.
-
We're all over the shop. A fucking disgrace.
-
The number of people on here saying Houllier out is embarrassing. Who can we get that we couldn't have got in the Summer? Let's sack him while transfer dealings are underway shall we, genius. Idiots.
Do you think he;'s going to keep us up?
-
Fucking Dunne you clumsy twat. Thank christ for Friedel.
-
dunne is having a mare now
-
i haven't seen Carew move that quickly for a long time, didn't amount to much, but still...
-
This is a fucking joke they're a fucking disgrace.
-
Carew's a spent force. Get him off, get Gabby in the middle and bring the Fonz on.
Don't think he'd cut it in a game like this, he strikes me as too lightweight.
I think the Fonz is nowhere near good enough for Prem football, he is another Stefan Moore. Unstoppable in the reserves but won't make the grade. Of all the youngsters coming through he is the least likely to play at the top level imo.
-
We need to change something here, because this quite clearly wasn't working at 0-0 and at 1-0 it still isn't
Nothing that idiot in charge has worked since he walked through the door.
-
We are really unlucky. But you have to take your chances.
We need to press but not let in a stupid one.
-
How many fouls now from Gardner? Book the ******
-
Great stop big man. They are showing a bit of fight at least. Young, Heskey, Makoun all to come into this side still.
-
we look down and out
-
Houllier needs sacking if he honestly thinks we don't need at least one striker...
100%
-
We need to change something here, because this quite clearly wasn't working at 0-0 and at 1-0 it still isn't
Nothing that idiot in charge has worked since he walked through the door.
Ever anything constuctive?
-
I see Downing has taken on the role of lobbing them over the bar in Ashley's absence.
-
Crikey. Carew seems to have woken up, at last.
-
downing why didnt you cross.. prick
-
Just cross it God this lot are doing my head in.
-
Great stop big man. They are showing a bit of fight at least. Young, Heskey, Makoun all to come into this side still.
Young has been in the side all season, as has Heskey mainly. You need to wake up Rich.
-
The number of people on here saying Houllier out is embarrassing. Who can we get that we couldn't have got in the Summer? Let's sack him while transfer dealings are underway shall we, genius. Idiots.
Yes, let's make sure we at least have some decent players for the Championship.
The point is that if we get rid now we probably won't be able to get any reinforcements in to help us stay up. It's not like walking into as shop and picking a striker off the shelf.
-
Stop being so fucking defeatist!
Apart from the two Manchestorrrrr games our run from now to May is okay, we CAN stay up, keep the fucking faith.
We haven't lost this one yet.
-
1 Pablo, I agree. Houllier has been here for half a season, we and he were left in the shit by MON - in terms of timing, wage bill, nonplaying dead wood and selections of MON's favourites. Sacking a new man after a few months would make us look like fools.
Some fans need a little patience and to get a sense of perspective.
-
We look like Newcastle did two seasons ago, delegation is inevitable.
-
Great stop big man. They are showing a bit of fight at least. Young, Heskey, Makoun all to come into this side still.
Yeah but we've had Young and Heskey for most of the season and look where we are now.
-
It's painful, ain't it?
-
Great stop big man. They are showing a bit of fight at least. Young, Heskey, Makoun all to come into this side still.
Good point, but I think that it might be all a bit too late if they're coming back into a side bereft of confidence. This is a massive game and we're chucking it away.
-
come on villa.... score from this
-
Carr unlucky there, he got the ball.
-
We need to change something here, because this quite clearly wasn't working at 0-0 and at 1-0 it still isn't
Nothing that idiot in charge has worked since he walked through the door.
Ever anything constuctive?
Ever anything realistic? "we'll be fine this season even if we lose this". You have got to have been smoking some seriously strong weed lately.
-
Great stop big man. They are showing a bit of fight at least. Young, Heskey, Makoun all to come into this side still.
Young has been in the side all season, as has Heskey mainly. You need to wake up Rich.
Heskey has only been available for half of our league matches.
-
We look like Newcastle did two seasons ago, delegation is inevitable.
Asumiong you mean relegation, no it isn't.
-
pissed off with downing
-
"Delegation is inevitable" - at least that made me laugh!
-
Poor stuff from Downing there. Still think we'll score, though.
-
Make a fucking change, Gerard.
-
1 Pablo, I agree. Houllier has been here for half a season, we and he were left in the shit by MON - in terms of timing, wage bill, nonplaying dead wood and selections of MON's favourites. Sacking a new man after a few months would make us look like fools.
Some fans need a little patience and to get a sense of perspective.
Fucking perspective? We've won 3 time sin the league since the start of September. How does that fit into your perspective. We're getting relegated with this twat in charge, there's no two ways about it. Kev Mac was getting better results than this shit.
-
We look like Newcastle did two seasons ago, delegation is inevitable.
Asumiong you mean relegation, no it isn't.
It's looking more and more likely as the weeks progress.
-
We have had numerous attempt, should have had a penalty, hit the bar 3 times and kept attacking since they scored. I don't see how we look down and out.
-
Could all the 'see the big-picture' posters please refrain from spoiling our enjoyment of this beating from the Blues. Thank you.
-
Well done on a little over 20,000 Noses turning up for the most important game this season.
-
another crap carew lay off
-
Carew OFF NOW
-
Bugger, very poor lay-off in a good position, that. They seem to have done a decent job of stopping Walker getting forward so much this half.
-
Watching Villa should come with a fucking health warning.
-
We need to make a fucking change. There's no point in doing this for the remaining 25 minutes and hoping for the best, because it almost certainly will not work.
-
Not much to laugh at these days is there.
-
We look like Newcastle did two seasons ago, delegation is inevitable.
Asumiong you mean relegation, no it isn't.
It's looking more and more likely as the weeks progress.
Obviously it's more likely, but until we can't catch fourth from bottom it ain't inevitable.
-
We have had numerous attempt, should have had a penalty, hit the bar 3 times and kept attacking since they scored. I don't see how we look down and out.
One off the bar was after a foul so wouldn't have counted, the other was from a cross. They had just as decent a shout for a penalty.
-
Petrov is completely useless.
-
Petrov is completely useless.
Doorstop?
-
Look at that clueless pair of idiots.
-
I guess Makoun will be taking petrovs place, HOPEFULLY. I think he should start thinking about retirement
-
Petrov is completely useless.
Doorstop?
Scapegoat, every team needs one!
-
Make a change you fuckin numpty
-
Bannan getting ready to come on
-
I'm getting really angry at this 'it hasnt worked for 60 minutes, lets try it for another 30' mentallity!
-
Still waiting to hear who we could get in as manager who would undoubtedly do a better job than Houllier, on the proviso that due to timing he might well not be able to get any new players in???
Bannan warming up COME ON BARRY
-
Bannanaman is coming on.
-
Bannan? For Petrov?
-
we have created chances , we are just have no bollocks in front of goal
-
Petrov is completely useless.
Doorstop?
No, the door would go right through him.
-
Houllier has to leave Villa today, he hasn't got it in him to get us out if trouble. Fucking clueless...... I feel like an absolute ****** for being pleased when MON left.
-
we have created chances , we are just have no bollocks in front of goal
Rubbish, we are complete bollocks in front of goal.
-
Delfouneso as well. Ballsy stuff from the Frenchman....
-
Petrov is completely useless.
Doorstop?
Scapegoat, every team needs one!
Aargh, how is he a "scapegoat" for fucks sake?! He's just been utterly anonymous. You'll be calling us fickle next.
-
Christ. Petrov stays on the pitch.
-
should took petrov off
-
Crikey! Didn't expect to see NRC going off! Hmm....
-
Well, it's a change. Now, will Gabby move inside?
-
Bannan - good move - but 20 mins too late!
-
Whaaaaaaat? Reo has been a best player
-
Should've left NRC on and taken Stan off.
-
Not sure it should have been NRC to come off, his back tracking has saved us a few times this match and would be useful cover as we chase forward
-
Petrov is completely useless.
Makoun must replace him.
-
Christ. Petrov stays on the pitch.
Maybe Houllier's forgotten he's there as well.
-
why the fuck is gabby not up front ffs.......the man is a fcking idiot.
-
Come on now Fight
-
Get in!
-
YESSS
-
Yes Collins
-
There we go.
-
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssss
-
YES!
-
Petrov is completely useless.
Doorstop?
Scapegoat, every team needs one!
Aargh, how is he a "scapegoat" for fucks sake?! He's just been utterly anonymous. You'll be calling us fickle next.
It was a joke Risso, Im usually the first to complain when 'scapegoat' is used correctly.
And FUCKING YEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
-
FUCKING YES FUCKING YES FUCKING GET IT
-
yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
-
GET IN!!!!!!!
-
Reo for Bannan, Fonz for Carew.
Harsh on Reo, thought Petrov would come off.
-
Gert in ya bastard
-
Fucking get in there!
-
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Come on boys!
-
FUCKING YES!
-
Get in there!!!!!!!!
-
Get the fuck fuck in you beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
ridgeweell the best agent ever
-
Well done Liam!
-
Ridgewell strikes again
-
Agent ridgewell again!
-
Well done the Ginger Leg Swinger.
-
Stick him up front, see if Gabby learns anything from him about how to hit a shot.
-
Well, lucky deflection but fair play, I think we deserve it. But then I would, I suppose!
-
The AGENT stikes again there!
-
Now fucking win it!
-
Agent Ridge again.
-
Yessssssssssssssssssss have that you fucking ******
-
now gabby up front ffs wasted on the wing????????????????????????
-
Houllier has to leave Villa today, he hasn't got it in him to get us out if trouble. Fucking clueless...... I feel like an absolute c*** for being pleased when MON left.
You should feel the same for wishing Houllier out of the job at this stage too.
Get the fuck in Collins!
-
Ridgewell (og).
It's like old times.
-
Lovely
-
Agent Ridgewell!!!
-
Agent Ridgewell.....yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
-
Agent Ridgewell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Agent Ridgey you beaut!
-
Ridgewell strikes again! Gotta love him
-
credit to walker as well.... yessssssssssssssssssssss
-
COLLINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YOU BEAUTAYY
-
we can fooking do this
-
"Heeeeeeeeeeeee's a Secret Agent Man"
PS - Great work by Walker
-
Should have scored there.
-
Should have been two for us then
-
God, this is going to get more stressful though. Petrov is really going to have to put a shift in in midfeld to stop them getting forward too easily.
-
Fuck thought we'd score there.
-
Better play, come on lads.
-
we dont take our chances do we
-
Gabby for the winner - it is written
-
Downing should've scored.
-
You should feel the same for wishing Houllier out of the job at this stage too.
3 wins from 16 league games. I'd say you have to be mental to want him to stay.
-
Come on Villa, fight!
-
Good grief.
-
Gabby for the winner - it is written
If he puts him up front?
-
More life in 'em since the changes.
-
Ratboy Bowyer coming on.
-
Brown alert time.
-
Jesus Christ, Villa.
-
How the fuck did that stay out?
-
great block Dunne.
-
Come on Villa, get back on the front foot
-
they are going to score aren't they.
-
Jesus Christ. This may be too much for me to take.
Bannan really hasn't got into this at all, has he?
-
Terrifying, agonising torture.
-
Take control now Villa
-
So what you will about Dunne - but that was body on the line stuff there.
-
they are going to score aren't thevy.
No, we are.
-
A cynical man might say that one could possibly foretell the outcome of the remaining ten or so minutes.
-
Surely a foul on the Fonz then.
Need to keep the fucking ball Villa
-
So what you will about Dunne - but that was body on the line stuff there.
Thank god there's an awful lot of Dunne's body to stick on the line at the moment, too!
-
So what you will about Dunne - but that was body on the line stuff there.
And that's quite some obstacle!
-
albrighton giving his usual FK away
-
Albrighton for fucks sake.
-
So what you will about Dunne - but that was body on the line stuff there.
Thank god there's an awful lot of Dunne's body to stick on the line at the moment, too!
Buyer, beat me to it!
-
Albrighton is a fucking tosser. How many times does he need to give away stupid free kicks before he learns.
-
Albrighton got the ball then
-
Fucking hell. Albrighton is just a liability when defending.
-
He BLATANTLY GOT THAT BALL. FUck off alan smith you twat
-
Fucking hell Marc, stop it.
-
We'll win this now. Think that was Carew's last appearance. Maybe NRC's also.
-
Was there a streaker or was it me?
-
Stupid free kick to give away Albrighton needs to cut that kind of thing out.
-
There's a bloke on the pitch. Wearing a thong. Jesus.
-
Albrighton needs to lose the impetuousness.
-
He BLATANTLY GOT THAT BALL. FUck off alan smith you twat
Foot up, you can't do that.
-
Albrighton for fucks sake.
Again! How many times in one season? Why can't he learn.
-
You just know this is in....
-
I was shitting then
-
Thank fuck for that.
-
Albrighton is a fucking tosser. How many times does he need to give away stupid free kicks before he learns.
He's one of our own mate, steady on.
-
Albrighton is a defensive liability. How many free-kicks does he concede?
-
There's a bloke on the pitch. Wearing a thong. Jesus.
Oh that's what it was. When Pleat said there was an idiot on the pitch, I thought Houllier ran on to give instructions.
-
He BLATANTLY GOT THAT BALL. FUck off alan smith you twat
Foot up, you can't do that.
Although Alan Smith IS a twat.
-
Was there a streaker or was it me?
Oh god.
That's my mrs's work colleague's son if there was. He has been saying he's going to do it all week.
-
You just know this is in....
I know it is out!!
-
I actually feel sick through worry, I thought those sort if feelings were long gone :(
-
Thank fuck Walker is fast!
-
He BLATANTLY GOT THAT BALL. FUck off alan smith you twat
I don't think it was that high. Regardless, Smith said he was 'nowhere near the ball'.
I'm losing it here.
Foot up, you can't do that.
-
Dunnie, fuck off.
-
Was there a streaker or was it me?
Oh god.
That's my mrs's work colleague's son if there was. He has been saying he's going to do it all week.
Ha ha haaaaaaaaa! Good on him if he did it.
-
Albrighton for fucks sake.
Again! How many times in one season? Why can't he learn.
He's a young las who's a bit over keen. I'd rather that than Downing shitting himself every time there's a tackle needed to be made. You can learn to cut that out, a lot harder to be less of a coward.
-
I actually feel suck through worry,
Eh?!
-
Come on now Villa.
-
Yes! No.
-
How has that not gone in!!
-
fuck, how didn't we score.
-
He BLATANTLY GOT THAT BALL. FUck off alan smith you twat
Foot up, you can't do that.
Although Alan Smith IS a twat.
Its not Alan Smith its Don Goodman
-
how we havent won this
-
Still painful, ain't it?
-
Fookin ell!!!!!!!
-
Bugger me.
-
Off the fucking bar again
-
I actually feel suck through worry,
iPhone ;)
Eh?!
-
fuck Delf so unlucky.
-
Off the bar from Delf screamer
-
OOOOooooHHH!! well played, Delfouneso!
-
Thought that was in.
-
Fucking hell Fonz
-
He BLATANTLY GOT THAT BALL. FUck off alan smith you twat
Foot up, you can't do that.
Although Alan Smith IS a twat.
Its not Alan Smith its Don Goodman
Apologies to Alan Smith.
That was brilliant from FOnzy
-
Shit luck.
-
how we havent won this
It had ended yet, we will get three today.
-
how unlucky.. fonz briilant.. should be 3 pts
-
Fonzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - no cigar
-
Great effort that by the Fonz the woodwork is seriously pissing me off.
-
Great effort from the Fonz -he's given the team a kick up the arse since coming on
-
I'd rahter end the game now and take the draw than face 10 more minutes of shitting myself.
-
That was excellent from Fonz, best bit of forward play in ages.
-
Great from the Fonz. Couldn't see Carew doing that these days.
-
I've seen enough of Petrov to know who Makoun will be replacing. Always wants far too long......
-
Delfouneso, Bannan, Clark, Albrighton.....we're really relying on the Padowans here!
-
Great from the Fonz. Couldn't see Carew doing that these days.
Or Gabby, sadly.
-
no need to do that dunne
-
Delfouneso, Bannan, Clark, Albrighton.....we're really relying on the Padowans here!
That's why were going down, the senior players aren't up to it.
-
Come on, Villa, hold on, a point will do from this.
-
Need to keep the ball now. No more last minute fuck ups.
-
shame makoun is only 5'8" we need more height in midfield.
-
looks like police have doubled the attendence.....
-
Has Bentley got Ashs' boots on?
-
This ref is a well bought twat.
-
Police getting ready for final whistle.
-
This ref is a well bought twat.
No he's been quite reasonable all in all
-
Chants of "on the pitch on the pitch" there.
-
Come the fuck on Villa!
-
Chants of "on the pitch on the pitch" there.
Arseholes.
-
well done Marc ;-)
-
Chants of "on the pitch on the pitch" there.
Arseholes.
I'd imagine it's light hearted more than anything.
-
Smoke bomb or flare gone off already.
-
Ground's on fire.
-
Fuck, close.
-
freiedel clanger
-
Friedel fucking hell
-
Fucking hell Fonz no pissing about there.
This is still horrible. Fair play to the Villafor fighting and
Shit me What you doing Brad!!
-
God almighty. Heart in mouth.
-
Fucking hell Friedel! What the fuck was that?!
-
FFS Friedal where were you going.
-
Fucking cunting hell, Villa.
-
Fucking hell thought that was in
-
Time stood still for a moment there. Can't believe Lurch didn't score.
-
Friedel ffs man
-
Cripes that was close.
-
We're playing like a bunch of idiots here.
-
Think that's about it.
-
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
A point
-
There we are then.
-
Good result in the circumstances, and despite what all you doom mongers will say, it was a fighting display.
-
Jesus H Corbett.
-
Go for a lie down now.
-
Phew. A decent point, that, and a decent performance in my opinion.
-
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
A point
Agreed.
-
Good result in the circumstances, and despite what all you doom mongers will say, it was a fighting display.
Plenty to cause concern still, but as you said, it was a battling display.
I reckon that's the last we'll see of Carew.
-
HOULLIER OUT
-
Houllier on the pitch "Lads! Quick, get over to the fans. Quick, I need to get in front of the telly."
-
Good result in the circumstances, and despite what all you doom mongers will say, it was a fighting display.
Feck Oz, doom mongers? I think we have a right to think we are doomed....
-
Good result in the circumstances, and despite what all you doom mongers will say, it was a fighting display.
Plenty to cause concern still, but as you said, it was a battling display.
I reckon that's the last we'll see of Carew.
I reckon so, too. And sadly, I won't be sorry about it.
-
still tactically inept GH.....the players worked hard to be fair but we look all over the place?????????
-
Happy with that.
-
Happy with that.
Agree, but that's the problem. We should be (and regularly have done) spank these monkeys off the park, not be happy with savaging a draw at the sty
-
HOULLIER OUT
give it a rest.
-
good point in the end,dissapointed we didnt take a couple of good chances!
-
My stomach is doing cartwheels- so nervous! bloody woodwork.
can't fault the committment this week- every man stood up to be counted.
-
HOULLIER OUT
give it a rest.
Seconded. Let's see where we are at the end of the season after a few purchases and the kind of football we're playing.
There's only one reason why we're in this position, he's Irish and about to manage a p*or London side ...

-
now then, it has been about 3 years since i logged in here. is there not a section for random banter anymore? when is nathan gonna get a fair crack of the whip - carew needs to move on.
