-
Friedel, Walker, Dunne, Clark, Baker, Albrighton, Reo-Coker, Downing, Young, Pires, Bent.
Subs: Marshall, Agbonlahor, Herd, Petrov, Bradley, Heskey, Delph.
So mixed. Marc back in, no Gabby on the wing, no blindly just playing out-of-form Petrov. However, Pires? No Bannan in the squad AGAIN? Seriously? Oh dear.
-
Just the four wingers
-
Pires ? Why ?
-
Pires ? Seriously WTF !
-
However, Pires? No Bannan in the squad AGAIN? Seriously? Oh dear.
This is starting to get ridiculous.
-
Because Houllier promised him games when he signed him.
Hopefully he repeats his performance last time he played and we played Blackburn.
-
Come on you Villa boys, let's not start by slaughtering them eh?
-
Powder puff midfield, only NRC can put a foot in
This could be a long 90 mins
-
Off to VP now...have left it a little late today...to see if we can stop our losing sequence against BBurn. Yes that is is correct we have lost the last 3 league games against them!
-
Pires? Bizarre decision....gotta be playing our best possible side surely, and this ain't it...not looking forward to this...hope to be proven wrong..
-
We could look at it, as we are really trying to attack them.
-
Houllier is putting his neck on the chopping block here. The only way he can carry on is with 3 points. Fingers crossed he gets it.
-
Defence looks very inexperienced.
Something must have happened for Bananaman to be frozen out.
-
Same team I went for apart from he's gone pires ahead of Bradley- should be an interesting game.
-
Gabby must be fuming and bannan totally disillusioned
-
Defence looks very inexperienced.
Something must have happened for Bananaman to be frozen out.
-
If Heskey is fit I am surprised he doesn't try him with Bent. Potentially they might make a decent partnership.
-
He will not play the old 442 arsey- this is the future!
-
Defence looks very inexperienced.
Something must have happened for Bananaman to be frozen out.
Well we know what he's doing and why with Bannan, and Bannan appears accepting of it. It just seems a bit bizarre when he is a lot better than the player who's playing instead of him.
-
Defence looks very inexperienced.
Something must have happened for Bananaman to be frozen out.
Not concerned about the defence (for a change) - seeing Clark in his stronger position makes sense and Walker and Baker are the future.
The challenge for me is - as said by most above - the apparent lack of muscle in midfield.
-
If Heskey is fit I am surprised he doesn't try him with Bent. Potentially they might make a decent partnership.
GED does not like playing 4 4 2
-
Very attack minded side - could well be a few goals here- let's hope more for us than them.surprised Bradley hasn't got in ahead of pires though.
-
Morning all!
Slight shock re. Pires, let's hope it pays off.
-

Do we??? I have no idea why Bannan can not get into the squad. He was one of our better players until he disappeared.
-
Shocked no Bannan, Not even on Bench?
I wouldn't worry about Agbonlahor, he said he does not like to play same players every week!
Hope Pires plays like he did against blackburn in the cup fixture

Walker has done very well but... Spurs have to agree to sell him. I just hope we agreed a fee as part of the loan deal.

We didn't and Harry has already said he will go back to Spurs and has a bright future!
-
Arsey, there was never any mention of spurs selling walker- he's here for premier experience , no mention of a sale , redknapp made that clear at the time , if we did want him
we would need to make a very big offer to even tempt them.
-
Very attacking. Houllier keeps us guessing, but atleast he's doing what he wants.
-
Pires? why?
hard hard game just made tougher with that selection
come on villa sneak a wee 2-1 win for us ;D
-
He will not play the old 442 arsey- this is the future!
*Applauds sentiment*
Arsey, he's said a lot of things re Bannan which are out there to look up. The nub of it seems to be that he thinks Bannan has been hopelessly mis-handled by MON and needs training rather than games, like all young players. Bannan has said he's willing to wait. But yes, it does get frustrating.
-
With the attacking players on display bent must be rubbing his hands with glee- let's hope he fills his boots!
-
At least Young is back on the wing and Gabby is not on the wing - so that for me is a positive! Good to see Albrighton back as well.
Pires is not the future or present for me but that is the only question mark over the team for me?
-
I imagine Downing will be playing much deeper.
-
Friedel
Walker - Dunne - Clark - Baker
Pires - NRC - Downing
Albrighton - Bent - Ash
Is what I'm expecting, with Ash coming inside...
-
Weather doesn't look too bad out. Will Young be wearing a snood?
-
Pires FFS!!!! I'm going back to bed!
-
Does anyone have an English comm. stream?
-
And we're off.....
-
It does seem strange that wee Bannan isn't get much of a look in. The last time I slated Pires for being in the team,he scored and we won,so fingers crossed,Up the villa.
-
Empty seats m'lord....
-
Wolves 1-0 Blackpool
-
Arsey, there was never any mention of spurs selling walker- he's here for premier experience , no mention of a sale , redknapp made that clear at the time , if we did want him

This is what I thought, so Walker really isn't the future then...
-
Weather doesn't look too bad out. Will Young be wearing a snood?
I'll answer my own question. No he isn't.
-
With the attacking players on display bent must be rubbing his hands with glee- let's hope he fills his boots!
Young is still playing the floating role by the looks of things with Downing and Marc on the wing.
-
Personally, I'd have rather we gave games to one of our young fullbacks than Spurs'.
I thought Walker was a good signing but only if we had that permanent option.
-
Bad miss by Pires, bright start though.
-
Good chance - Pires.
Bright start.
-
http://atdhenet.tv/34659/watch-aston-villa-vs-blackburn
sound quality not great but it is English
-
At least Young is back on the wing
Wrong again!
-
Everton 1-0 Sunderland
Beckford at it again.
-
In England's green and pleasant land, is there a better looking pitch than Villa Park?
-
Am I seeing things?
Dogheads 2
Blackpool 0
(Jarvis 2", Jarvis 2")
-
Do not understand Pires selection. Would play Bradley instead. And Gabby instead of Young.
-
This isn't the other games thread!
-
BBC Sport correcting itself:
Dogheads 1
Blackpool 0
-
Lovely ball by Ash, shame Bent couldn't bring it down.
-
Not the best ball from Ash to Benty, but good effort.
-
Nice link up from Ash and Darren.
-
We are playing quite well here, some good passing.
-
How's old Uncle Bob doing?
-
If 442 is not the way to go with GH, we could have a bit of a problem next season if, as expected, Young does leave as I can not think who could play in his current role.
-
its very like the fulham match
tippy tappy football
-
If 442 is not the way to go with GH, we could have a bit of a problem next season if, as expected, Young does leave as I can not think who could play in his current role.
I think Ash and his current position are part of our problems. Not only are we wasting a great winger in it but it actually for me harms the effectiveness of our midfield as it is more easily overrun without that third actual midfield player. I'd put Bannan in for him.
However, it might also be better if we find a proper second striker who can play that old number ten role better.
-
Dreadful from Pires, there. We haven't looked much like troubling them, have we?
-
ouch

Beardsley or Sherringham then???
You never know, he bought back Pires.
-
Pires hacked down on the break.
-
How's old Uncle Bob doing?
Slow giving the ball away
-
I always start off with great expectations but soon brought back to earth!
-
fucking hell we need to mark at set pieces.
-
Is it just me or is this horrid??
-
We're about as dangerous as a narked flea.
-
not sure about that one, looked like he made a meal of it to me.
-
Pires did well there, and I think Bent was fouled.
-
Another draw me thinks
-
We're about as dangerous as a narked flea.
Not suprising when we only have one out and out striker on the pitch
-
We don't look too dangerous going forward but Blackburn look absolutely dreadful. If we don't win this, we are in trouble.
-
Albrighton really needs to look up sometimes.
-
Get big Heskey on take off Pires.
-
That should of been 1-0 from Pires.
-
Nice play that, Pires looks our most likely scorer... doesn't say much.
-
Pires is starting to play well now.
-
It's looking a bit stale at the moment and scrappy, need something to give us a lift - no spark there.
-
Afternoon chaps, hows it gong or should I not ask for a link?
-
30 mins - One shot on target from Bent and loads miles off target! Perhaps should have had a penalty (grasping at straws)!
-
I think Pires is getting some harsh criticism here, he's started playing well and is getting involved all over the pitch.
-
Looks like a normal frustrating Saturday afternoon...
-
how was that a foul
-
We are actually shit. This is awful to watch.
-
never Robinson took Baker out
-
how was that a foul
Absolutely no idea except that Baker went within touching distance of Robinson, so being a goalkeeper he must have been fouled!
-
2 poor teams
blackburn wont come forward, we cant attack
settling for a point already? :o
-
Sky Italia stream. Buffering like a bastardo at times though

-

It's been like this most of the season. Dull!
-

I agree and was going to say the same thing....it's not his fault his surrounded by clueless twats.
-
Fuk, speaking of Italia the camera just showed Capello. Surely he's got better things/games to be seeing.
-
We are actually shit. This is awful to watch.
Got a link?
-
fucking hell we need to mark at set pieces.
But that's the problem. We don't. We Zonal Mark
-
Delph for Baker???
-
Delph on injured Baker off.
-
is Delph playing left back?
-
Again, we're playing a game in which we think we're much better than we are. Passing it around well out of the danger zone will never cause anyone problems, especially when you can't pass it that well. If we played to our strengths, we might create chances. This way, it's all pinball.
-
is Delph playing left back?
Yep.
-
I would put walker at lb and reo at right back and delph in mid
-
this is dire. Two teams lacking any confidence or conviction.
-
Why is Bent shooting from miles away for he's done that 3 times now?
Good play but we need to get more players in the box when we're attacking!
-

Probably as were not creating anything at all........
-
Good play again, uncle Bob has been our best player today.
-
Playing better here.
-
Getting closer - something will drop for us eventually.
-
why are we the only match with no goals....?why are we always subjected to similar performances?! come on villa, for fucks sake
-
Shit from Young, again.
-
much better. Tough chance for Ash. Great run from Walker.
-
Young you twat.
-
Young got that all wrong didn't he.
-
We are getting closer in the last few minutes.
-
FFS Ashley!!
-
Cant get any link to work
bugger
-

I don't claim we are playing well but Pires could have got a hat-trick and we were just unlucky again. I think we've done enough to deserve to be ahead.
-
Young that was shit!
-
Pires the best player on the pitch so far I think, couple of decent shots but we lack that cutting edge to create .
-
Young got that all wrong didn't he.
As he does more often than not these days.
-
lovely again. Bent should have done better after clever work by Bobby
-
Why didn't bent bury that
-
Robinson you are one lucky sod.
-
Jammy bastards - Robinson is parrying everything, something will fall eventually.
-
WTF was Bent doing there!!!!
-
Further away from him than it looked.
-
Not having much luck here, Pires is doing well.
-
Pires the best player on the pitch so far I think, couple of decent shots but we lack that cutting edge to create .
Strange isn't it. On 5live they said 'Villa are attacking with pace and just to reiterate Robert Pires has nothing at all to do with it....'
-
What a beautiful pass by Downing.
-
Playing well at the moment. Good run from Young.
-
Robinson has been very lucky here and is keeping them in the game. There's definitely goals here for us.
-
Bent should have scored, he isn't going to get much easier than that today.
-
Bloody hell bent. Bury it.
-
Ball certainly ain't running for us today.
-
Fucking hell Darren that was a great chance.
-
Bent should have done MUCH better then
-
Fuck me. We bought you to put those away Darren
-
Won't get a better chance than that....
-
Further away from him than it looked.
What about that one then.
-
Blackburn can not handle Bob. Resorting to hacking him down now.
-
it's the age old problem. £24M for a player who only has one foot.
-
Superb by Pires then hacked down by Grella.
-
Bents looking blunt so far , we deserve to be ahead on the last few minutes- could be a tense 2nd half.
-
Dirty bastard....Pires has played really well.
-
That's another frustrating 45 under Houllier's belt.
Pires is our best player, so far. Bent should have scored towards the end of the half. It has to improve. We need three points today.
-
Thing with Bent is, he'll score 20 goals, but every season it should have been 40.
-
I think Pires has done very well, as epitomised when he was hacked down on the way through at the end. We are much the better side.
-
Pires has been our best player by some margin. He is slow as fuck but he is a bloody good player.
-
I think Pires has done very well, as epitomised when he was hacked down on the way through at the end. We are much the better side.
100% agree - the goals will come.
-
We had them on the rack for the last 10-15 minutes. We should be well ahead. Hopefully we can keep it up in the 2nd half.
Old man Bob is growing into the game.
-
Albrighton needs to go back to the reserves. Young should have scored that rebound and Bent is looking no better at finishing than Heskey, Carew or Gabby.
-
some crap refereeing, crap finishing we should be ahead by a couple by now
-
Albrighton needs to go back to the reserves.
Harsh, but unfortunately, it seems that way.....he has been very poor in the 2nd half of the season.
-
Bent cannot check back into the defender when he is clear on goal - just bl**dy shoot (great pass by their player)!
-
Albrighton needs to go back to the reserves. Young should have scored that rebound and Bent is looking no better at finishing than Heskey, Carew or Gabby.
Positive stuff.
-
I think Pires has done well in the last 20 minutes, Bent looks very 1 dimenional, if he dosent take his chances then what is the point
-
We should be 4 up
Pires has come into the game and is looking as good
we must score 2 in this game or Blackburn will feel that 1 set piece will be enough
-
Albrighton needs to go back to the reserves. Young should have scored that rebound and Bent is looking no better at finishing than Heskey, Carew or Gabby.
Positive stuff.
Well no it's not but I see no need to put a positive spin on an accurate reflection of events.
-
Pires has play'd better than some i.e Albrighton but i'd prefer if he went off and Heskey came on.
-
Albrighton needs to go back to the reserves. Young should have scored that rebound and Bent is looking no better at finishing than Heskey, Carew or Gabby.
Positive stuff.
Well no it's not but I see no need to put a positive spin on an accurate reflection of events.
What about where we were really good for the last 15 mins and Pires playing well? That is part of the accurate reflection of events.
-
Darren Bent is very, very good at doing that thumbs up thing to players to say what a good pass they just did that he hopelessly miscontolled or missed completely. Not sure it's £24 million worth of thiumbs though.
That was a bloody rubbish 45 minutes.

Pires is playing well and we have been in control (sort of) for much of the half. That makes it more frustrating that we have failed to score though, but yes there are some good things, however, in a relegaiton scrap I can only see what we should be doing better as being relevant. Particularly at 0-0.

that's the thing with him 'he does nothing unless he scores'
if he put ALL his chances away he would be the record goalscorer of all time
you've got to be in the right position to miss sitters

I was thinking the exact same thing it's really annoying. He's had a really poor 1st half!
-
Poor game for 25 minutes but since then we have bossed it. We are all over them! They haven't had a shot on target and we should have had a few. We have had all the possession and it is coming.
-
Richard Dunne nearly cost us a goal there, good save Brad.
-
Pires good ball, corner.
-
Pen
-
Very, very good.
-
Pen
-
pen
-
Penalty!
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get in there Villa!!!!
Phew !!
-
Yes!
-
The bottom line is that for all the fancy stuff, pressure, bossing the game, having all the pocession etc, we need to score goals to give us the 3 points we so desperately need!
-
YESSSSSSSSS get in.
-
Ash's penalties have been fucking money of late
-
Yes!! we're on our way boys!!!
-
Dear Villa. Please don't fuck around with it at the back, and score enough to win this thing comfortably. I don't want to get my heart pills out again.
Cheers
-
That should open up the game more!
-
Temporarily up to 12th. Could be 10th if it wasn't for crappy GD
-
Now, I'll repeat this season's mantra: hold onto the fucking lead.
-
hopefully blackburn will come out and we will pick them off on the break ;D
-
Ha, just saw that Young had scored and thought ''I bet it was a penalty. The moaning fucker never scores in open play anymore''.
-
Dear Villa. Please don't fuck around with it at the back, and score enough to win this thing comfortably. I don't want to get my heart pills out again.
Cheers
I could have posted that
-
Hi all - just came in at the right time by the looks of it.
Any decent streams running?
-
Really really good play there.
-
Ha, just saw that Young had scored and thought ''I bet it was a penalty. The moaning fucker never scores in open play anymore''.
That's the spirit
-
Now let's finally kill a game off and get a couple of more goals- Blackburn look worse than under big Sam.
-
A few good wins and our season is turned around, lets hope it starts here.
-
Robert Pires has done very well today.
-
class from Walker then!
-
I could do with a decent link if anyone has one, that Spanish one has been buffering since Ash scored
-

Bang on. We know full well what will happen if we sit back.
-
Robert Pires has done very well today.
We all doubted him but Houllier made a big call and it seems to have worked out.
I desperately hope we can hold on and get some serious points on the board today. Some other teams down with us are picking up. CF Wolves and West Ham.
-
I think the game has got even worse!
Its bloody awful!
-
Ha, just saw that Young had scored and thought ''I bet it was a penalty. The moaning fucker never scores in open play anymore''.
That's the spirit
I say that as a staunch supporter of Ashley.
And the only one who seemed to be sticking up for Pires pre-match when his name appeared on the teamsheet.
-
I think the game has got even worse!
Yes, especially when that ****** Young scored for Villa.
-
Maybe bring on Hesk?
He loves to score against Blackeye and it hasn't been Bents day.
-
I think the game has got even worse!
Its bloody awful!
Post a link please...
-
Albrighton has turned up for the 2nd half.
-
Christ, who is that heifer with the ugly mug in Blackburn's defence?
-
Fucking yes!
-
Gooaaalllll.
OG!
-
Get the feck in 2-0 own goal.
-
Get in!!!! deserve second!
-
Ha, said heifer just scored an own goal.
-
Get in. We are playing very well. Let's get a third and end this as a contest
-
Haha. Shocking own goal.
Albrighton has re4ally stepped it up this half.
-
2-0 OG
-
Super Mark!
Get in!
-
Wooooo! Come on you villa boys, now we can start to look up
-
F'kin have it YESSS!!
-
Much better from Marc this half. Playing a lot better.
-
happy fucken days
-
Its only what we deserve or more to the point Blackburn deserve!
-
brilliant
-
Yesssss
-
Excellent , now let's take these for 3 or 4 , nice to get a two goal lead at last, they are woeful- yesssss 3-0
-
3-0 quality goal from Downing
-
Get that mutha in!
-
Brilliant Downing. Just brilliant
-
I think the game has got even worse!
Its bloody awful!
Yeah 3-0 sucks cock
-
get in!!
-
Great finish by Downing!
-
Blimey just go in to see 3 goals in 10 mins. We want 6.
-
Now's the time to fix the goal difference.
-
GETT IIIIIIIIIIIIN Brilliant Downing.
-
get in
-
We need to punish them now and start sorting out the goal difference, there's chances a plenty here, they really are a poor side.
-
3-0
Bent!
-
Friedel, Walker, Dunne, Clark, Baker, Albrighton, Reo-Coker, Downing, Young, Pires, Bent.
Subs: Marshall, Agbonlahor, Herd, Petrov, Bradley, Heskey, Delph.
...Seriously? Oh dear.
Arf!
-
Yes! great goal ! We're actually killing an opposing team off. We never do that.
Now lets turn that screw some more and reduce that horiffic goal difference.
-
Downing is my player of the season so far.
-
Fair play to GED , pires was a smart choice and we totally deserve a 3 goal lead.
-
I think the game has got even worse!
Its bloody awful!
Haha Im sure he is more than happy to be proven wrong............at least I hope he is
Yeah 3-0 sucks cock
-
Hungh! Take cock, Blackburn
-
Steve Keane's team 1-0 down on 60minutes 3-0 down on 64! Quality....
-
YES
-
Im enjoying today. We shall not be moved!!
-
Awful, awful match. 3-0 what a dreadful scoreline to win by. Houllier out.
;)
-
good goal Downing
-
Treme - Zero!
-
Powder puff midfield, only NRC can put a foot in
This could be a long 90 mins
Nyak! Nyak!
-
A clean sheet would be very nice. We are playing a high line now that the pressure is off, Blackburn nearly in there when we got away with an offside close to the halfway line.
-
I think the game has got even worse!
Its bloody awful!
Yeah 3-0 sucks cock
Arsehole!
-
Awful, awful match. 3-0 what a dreadful scoreline to win by. Houllier out.
;)
:)
-
All goals so far (bar Hernandez) scored by English players.
-
What's with all the cocky cnuts dredging up wrong pre-match predictions?
-
Yes the feelgood factor is back- Blackburn look a great bet to go down, awful team let's do our goal diff a favour and rip them to bits.
-
Just think of the players that aren't playing today......Cuellar, Collins, Petrov, Gabby, Heskey, Bannan. The future bodes well.
-
I think the game has got even worse!
Its bloody awful!
Haha Im sure he is more than happy to be proven wrong............at least I hope he is
Yeah 3-0 sucks cock
Yes, I was!
-
All goals so far (bar Hernandez) scored by English players.
The guy who scored the own goal is Scottish.
-
4 points off 7th now. What a very strange season.
Could 7th be enough for Europe, I think Liverpool finished 7th last season and qualified. I guess we need Arsenal to beat them tomorrow.
-
I'd like to see Bradley get a good 20 minutes for Pires.
-
I think the game has got even worse!
Its bloody awful!
Haha Im sure he is more than happy to be proven wrong............at least I hope he is
Yeah 3-0 sucks cock
Yes, I was!
I think we should get him every week to make these "predictions"
-
it would be nice to see Gabby and Bradley come at some point. Take off Pires to a standing ovation.
-
All goals so far (bar Hernandez) scored by English players.
The guy who scored the own goal is Scottish.
Yep, him an' all.
-
Be good to give Bradley a run now.
-
That's poor by Albrighton Bent was innn PASS
-
may not be coming off for him today, but Marc is getting his confidence back.
-
When bent came we were 12 behind Sunderland , now it's a 4 point gap , shows who the fool is now brucie .
-
Could do with Bent getting a goal. Who was that with Fabio?
-
All goals so far (bar Hernandez) scored by English players.
The guy who scored the own goal is Scottish.
Yeah, he has the look of a Scottish heifer about him.
-
What's with all the cocky cnuts dredging up wrong pre-match predictions?
We are 3 up, the bitching has to start somewhere.
-
may not be coming off for him today, but Marc is getting his confidence back.
Albrighton has been fantastic in the second half.
-

;-)

4 points off 7th now. What a very strange season.
Could 7th be enough for Europe, I think Liverpool finished 7th last season and qualified. I guess we need Arsenal to beat them tomorrow.
6 points off 6th place....
-
Isn't it about time to get Pires off, the game is over.
-
Marc clattered, berk.
-
We've played well, but to be fair, Blackburn have made Reo-Coker look like Messi at times with the amount of space there is in midfield.
-
Get Bradley on for a run out.
-
Pires had a great game. Grandad we love you...
-
Will Petrov have enough puff to get to ninety minutes?
-
Pires been quality today.
-
fuck me. What a ball from Delph
-

When we beat Man City I said we should be aiming for 6th (who were Sunderland at the time) Still think we should. Settle for 7th.
-
Pires quality, well played.

I can not see us catching Liverpool, 6 points clear and a game in hand. Unfortunately, they have turned the corner.
-
I like the look of our new left back.
-
The commentator just likened this to a bullfight.

7th would be amazing after the season we have had.
-
'Pool have United next I think.
they are catchable IMO.
-
Yahoo saying...
Albrighton at the heart of all the Villa moves. This time tries to pick out Bent, but headed away by the Rovers defence. Rovers manager Steve Kean is looking none too pleased.
He has to play every week.

I would snatch your hand off if you offered me 10th.
-
BOLLOCKS FFS!
-
Albirghton and delph have been brilliant on our left this half, two brilliant prospects, both playing out of position.
-
Fuck sake, there goes the clean sheet.
-
Fucking hell. We just don't do clean sheets do we?
-
What a goal by Blackburn.
-
Will we ever keep a clean sheet?
-
fuck me. Can we just have a clean sheet. Let's hope we can grab a 4th here because they'll be all over us now.
I agree.
Right on cue
-
Rovers goal
Kalinic.
Oh well. No clean sheet.
-
Here we go .
-
If they get another i'm turning off!!!
-
And so begins 10 mins of fucking terror...
-
Brilliant finish tbh, brad might have been too far forward but I don't think you can fault him, that was just a piece of quality.
-
What a goal by Blackburn.
Nah, big deflection off Dunne's beefy leg.
-
great goal
-
YES!
-
Afternoon all, sounds like a long over due walk in the park type performance.
-
4-1 Young the win is safe YAY
-
And so begins 10 mins of fucking terror...
for them...
-
Thats fucking better, 4 goals!! Am i on fifa still?
-
Everyone has got on the score sheet just proves how poor Bent has been?
-
And so begins 10 mins of fucking terror...
As I was saying....
-
Bent off Big Heskey on
-
Game over!
Webcam scores from 12 yards!
-
And so begins 10 mins of fucking terror...
for them...
It is Heskey time
-
The commentator just said "clean shit" and "lager".
-
Afternoon all, sounds like a long over due walk in the park type performance.
first 30 minutes was dire Risso. We should have been 2-0 up at HT. Some bad misses. Second half is as the score suggests.
-
first time we have scored 4 this season, I think...
-
Kalinic is a good player would he be any good at VP?
-
fuck
-
Delph's done well today.
-
Class by Downing and good finish by Young - nice worked goal!
-
how fucking good has Delph looked today? If GH was looking for his bomb forward LB, he might have found him. Just needs to learn to defend, but hasn't been that bad at that either.
-
fuck
?
-
We always end up like a night on the incontinence wing - not a clean sheet in site.
Saying that. Great fucking victory Villa, no squeaky bum stuff at the end.
-
Liverpool should finish 6 th but if we did come 7th we may get into Europe depending who wins the cups-no reason not to feel confident after this win, Bolton are not easy but they are beatable.
-
Dirty bastard.
-
Wolves out of the bottom 3 by GD, hopefully replaced by Blackpool.
Nah, Dogheads for the drop please.
-
Young had better buy some screen wipes if this goes in.... ah no, nevermind.
-
fuck
?
Ashleys free kick?
-
Upper Holte again Ashley!
-
We always end up like a night on the incontinence wing - not a clean sheet in site.
BOOM!
-
That was a good free-kick for Ash.
-
Young's hattrick was about 250m away there.
-
Fuck me Ash. Blame the ball, your studs or the ground. Something. That was awful
-
Typical Young Free kick. Nowhere the near goal!
-
At least Young had the decency to look embarrassed at that free kick.
-
Great chance again. Lovely work by Stew. Let's see where all the Downing bashers are tonight.

I take it the Uefa spot goes to 7th if Arse win tomorrow and if both sides in the FA cup final are in the top 6.
-
Heskey back to his best.
-
Right, I call 3rd on MOTD order, after ManUre and Wolves.
-
come on lads, get another 9 and we move up a place! ;)
-
Great chance again. Lovely work by Stew. Let's see where all the Downing bashers are tonight.
And Pires, he was excellent.
-
Quality by Dunney Just then haha
-
very impressed by our Nige today too
-
Heskey misses from half a yard.
Back to Alfreton farm for you, my friend.
-

Do you have to be quite so pathetic?

Any word on the att?
-
and an Ole from Lanzarote too
-
Some of this pass and move stuff 2 nd half has been extremely exciting to watch - great football.
-

Yes, fair play to him, started slowly but got into the game well!

Oh bloody hell, there is only United, Citeh and Arsenal left in the FA Cup out of the top 6 and Man Utd play Arse in the quarter finals.

That don't matter if we win it...

Off you go lad. Ta ta a bit.

what a muppet getting sent off in injury time in a game that they have already lost.

I want 5

what are you talking about Risso? Why did you feel so aggrieved over that? It's a genuine statement, because had he not played well we'd have had two threads from people over how bollocks he is, and how he bottles everything
-
nice banner
-
Fucking idiots singing "Come on Arsenal". Stupid fucking banner too.
-
Poor Nelsen. His wife went into labour the day of the earthquake in New Zealand and he was told he could go back home if he wanted.
-
Ryan Nelsen in "catch Ashely Young's boots with his feet".
Gone.
-
Fucking idiots singing "Come on Arsenal". Stupid fucking banner too.
oh dear...that banner really exists? awful
-
Definition of possession football...
When you lose = tippy tappy
When you win = pass and move
;)

Makes us look like a small minded little tinpot club...

Stream gone - how was Downing's free-kick?

Exactly, you can almost guarantee he'll get a slating off somebody in the after match thread.

If they want to be clever, a banner over the M40 tomorrow evening saying "welcome home losers" would be the way to go.
