Is this the first time this season we've had an unchanged team?
-
I wouldn't be surprised. We will need a very high work rate today to compete with their midfield.
-
They've been unchangingly shit most of the season...

Kozak starting makes me chuckle.
-
Kozak starting makes me chuckle.
Why?
-
Happy with the same team they earned their places, now do it again Villa.
-
Kozak starting makes me chuckle.
what an odd thing to say.
-
Because he's happy?
-
FFS where is Hollis? Get a new man in and he's not even on the bench
-
I think we are going to slap our dicks all over them. Not sure why.
-
Unchanged, that's new. FUCK THE FUCKERS.
-
That is very bromantic smirker.
-
Make the thread sticky even if it requires special white paste.
-
Kozak starting makes me chuckle.
Why?
Because he was frozen out. Couldn't hold a candle in the U21s, wasn't fit, not better than anything out there. We persisted with Rudy until it was abundantly clear this isn't his level.
In times of desperation there shouldn't be anyone frozen out until January.
Kozak starting makes me chuckle.
what an odd thing to say.
Every post I submit you follow it with some lame response.
-
Pleased to see that we've not made any changes.
If we put the same performance in today as we did against Palace I'm strangely confident of a result today.
-
Still prefer Richards to Bacuna at RB
-
I'm a bit sad. It was nice having a win as our most recent result. In a couple of hours I fear that'll no longer be the case.
I know, I should be giving the team-talk, right?
-
Glad he stuck with the line up.
I'm weirdly optimistic today.
Fuck the fuckers.
-
Fuck the fuckers. Especially Sherwood.
-
Sherwood in the studio for the game bloody hell
-
Heart says we'll get something.... Brain says not a cat's chance in hell.
Here's hoping Albrighton can 'do an Agent Ridgewell'! ;)
-
Sherwood in the studio for the game bloody hell
What insight can that utter moron give to anyone? How to piss away games making random changes thinking you are clever.
-
Come on villa - win today and gap down to 7
-

Fuck me I hope we win now. I won't be able to fucking bear the look on the man's face if we get turned over.

I'm sure he'll mention players he didn't want, they will be asking him and he will be covering his hairy back the ******.

Ayew will score a hattrick and then Sherwood will triumphantly declare "I signed him."
-
10 adrift only a win will do, cmon Villa.
-
I think it's going to take 36/37 pts this year to stay up. 8 wins and a draw or two.
-
It's ok, Tim believes, we will be fine.
-
Sherwood being surprisingly coherent and unknobish here.
-
To be fair to Sherwood, he just said (in a positive way!) he has never seen support like Villa fans give. Obviously got his PR right, so far...
-
Sherwood didnt work out. But I dont begrudge the man needing to make a buck. I am sure he would like us to win.
-
Can someone not ask him an interesting question though like why would anyone think Gestede could replace Benteke.
-
O'Neill last week on BT last week and Sherwood on Sky this?
Why not invite Lambert and McLeish as well so they can all have a good laugh.
-

He got plenty of "bucks" while fucking around at the Villa. It I were sacked for being shite, I wouldn't turn up for my employer's next big day.
-
Let's have Beelzebub as mascot holding hands with Lescott.

They're all shit cooks that have contributed towards the turd pie we currently have.

Come on you Villa, get stuck into them!

He's being quite nice about as actually. Just saying.
-
Plenty of positivity from Tactics
-
I'm not surprised that he's being (publicly) positive about us, but I also don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. I'm fairly sure he realises that he'd look bad if he went slagging us off on tv, which I imagine to be his primary motivation.

Not 'alf as much as the bunker-dwelling multi-millionaire restaurant owner though: who managed to turn a prestigious, historical restaurant into a fecking crumbling greasy spoon.
-
How the fuck is that a top of the table defence?
-
Albrighton has the best nose since Garry Parker.
-
Afternoon, gents.
We can do this.
Come on you Villa boys!
-
Right, let's see which Villa team turns up tonight.... Hopefully the one from midweek. :S
-
Afternoon, gents.
We can do this.
Come on you Villa boys!
Afternoon Marky Mark. Yes we can, and will.
-
Right, let's see which Villa team turns up tonight.... Hopefully the one from midweek. :S
We will need to be 10% better to get a win, hopefully a touch of confidence will do the trick. First goal is vital today.
-
Christ that was fucking careless.
-
Christ that was fucking careless.
It's spelt 'Carles'.
-
We're pressing well.
-
Afternoon, gents.
We can do this.
Come on you Villa boys!
Afternoon Marky Mark. Yes we can, and will.
We are going to stamp on them like an empty, I don't know, crisp packet.
-
Love the energy
-
Working hard
-
Shift your arse Westwood
-
10 good minutes so far. Come on!
-
evening
UTV
lets do it
-
Kozak is 5 times the player Gestede is. in fact, Rudy should be ashamed watching him win header after header.
-
Need to keep this pressing up.
-
Kozak is so much better than Gestede
-
Kozak is so much better than Gestede
Everyone is so much better than Gestede.
-
Phew.
-
i thought it was a good free kick . No Idea why the Villa player didnt attack the lay off by Kozak
-
Jon Crofts is so much better than Gestede.
-
Bunn was flapping then.
-
Jeeez! that was a close call.
-
Jon Crofts is so much better than Gestede.
Both jokers though.
-
soton got austin 6 million dollars how ever much that is
good deal
-
Fucking hell Bunn
-
Jesus fucking christ, what was he thinking then?
-
Fucking hell Bunn!
-
Fucking Bunn! What on earth was he thinking?
-
Bacuna is an ongoing defensive liability.
-
[insert name] is so much better than Gestede
-
Fucking hell Bumn what are you doing.
-
We need a new goalkeeper desperately.
-
Another donkey in goal.
-
Fuck. Bunn!!
-
Why was Bunn out there? Ffs
-
Bunn looks a bit fruity.
-
Jon Crofts is so much better than Gestede.
Not even sure that's a compliment!
-
Bacuna's fuck up in the first place though
-
This commentator, how difficult is it to say "Carles" rather than "Carlos" especially when the player in question has his full name on the back of his shirt?
-
Bunn looks a bit fruity.
He's the best that we have currant-ly though
-
Okore is a good player.
-
Bunn looks a bit fruity.
On currant form, yes.
-
It's looking like we've reverted back to playing really bad and clueless.
-
we could do with that albrighton
-
Our back four are likely to be caught on the break especially Vardy
-
They are looking threatening, we need to get more control.
-
Leicester now looking like their gonna score every time they go forward now. Villa on the other hand...
-
why some booing him ?
-
fuck chance there
-
Bloody obvious handball from Ozaki then.
Kozak should have scored!
-
That was really shit from Westwood.
-
I am going to start drinking after that missed chance.
-
It was a good save to be fair
-
Should have done better Kozak.
-
wrong option there = could have gone again I feel
-
why some booing him ?
It's the Leicester fans going Huuuuth!
-
Kozak with a great chance......and he fluffs his lines.
-
why some booing him ?
It's the Leicester fans going Huuuuth!
I hope
;)
-
Ref is giving them everything.
-
Is Grealish still injured/poorly?
-
I wish we could make crisp passes like Leicester do.
-
Bad English...you're late starting..I started at 5.30 prompt. .only way I can get through it.
-
Where is Westwood playing?!?
-
They are more aggressive, alert and urgent than us. They want this more.
-
why some booing him ?
It's the Leicester fans going Huuuuth!
I hope
;)
They seem to do it every time he touches the ball. I expect it's what passes for wit in those parts.
-
Bad English...you're late starting..I started at 5.30 prompt. .only way I can get through it.
Sound strategy CCR!
-
The Inbreds with the 'You're not famous any more' thing. Oh dear. oh dear.
*rolls eyes*
-
Kozak winning the headers.
-
What's everybody drinking? I'm halfway through a bottle of 2011 Matsu.
-
They are getting a fair few decisions from Dermot Gallagher aren't they!
-

Something similar but I'm squeezing it out of a box.
-

First large glass of some nondescript £6 a bottle red plonk.

That's the problem when you play a SkyFour team
-
We should have bought Kante as well as Veretout. We would be a lot better off now.
-
I'm on shiraz. ..bought a few bottles just in case !
-
What's everybody drinking? I'm halfway through a bottle of 2011 Matsu.
Anything I can get my hands on.
-
Ayew's a bit quiet.
-

Bottle of Crémant de Bourgogne rosé, followed by a 100% Macabeu blanc. Then I'll see. Probably a Domaine Singla, Côtes du Roussillon IGP.
-
That would have been special
-
Fucking hell take it down Westwood
-

Nothing - tricky conversation with The boss in progress re Aldi purchase whilst listening to Talkshite
-
what the fuck
-
WESTWOOD CAN'T KICK A FUCKING FOOTBALL!
-
What the fuck are we doing!!!!
-
Fuck off!
-
Fair play for having a go at that, if it goes in we'd have been talking about that for years!
-
******.
-
here we go... business as usual!
-
oh dear.
-
In the days before goal line tech that wouldn't have been given
-
Bastards.
-
Mark Bunn should give Lescott and Okore a fucking roasting.
-
more Sunday park defending.
-

arsenic for me
-
Oh dear
-
I think the players are a bit simple.
-
Oh dear.
-
I fear for us now, because I don't see goals in us.
-
Haul yourselves out of this shit, Villa, you fucking morons.
-
In the days before goal line tech that wouldn't have been given
A point from Palace then...
-
Wesrwood should've had a shot. Botle of Jura.
-
I wish they'd play another replay. That looked miles offside.
-
Dreadful defending from a dreadful team.
-
Fucking Lescott is useless. Lazy fucking bastard.
-
Not shocked. We've been zombie like for 30 minutes.
-
fucking shit - we just aint no good ;(
-
Unlucky from Bunn
-
I think the players are a bit simple.
There does appear to be a lack of intelligence in the team. Garde must find that frustrating.
-
Right, let's see which Villa team turns up tonight.... Hopefully the one from midweek. :S
The usual one.
-
Villa summed up in a couple of minutes there, can't hit a barn door up front and then our knacker defence gets caught on the break. Fucking shite. And can someone put Westwood in a sack and bury him in a hole somewhere, he's complete pap, you'd have to know the square root of fuck all to think there's a player in him.
-
Lescott with his head up his Arsenal. Surely he should seen how that was going to play out.
-
Caught out like school team defenders, where's Bunn's cover
-
Lescott stopped running there. Useless twat.
-
Wesrwood should've had a shot. Botle of Jura.
westwood is just rubbish
I thought he was against palace thou I know a few on here were saying he was good
penalty now
-
Bloody Nora.
-
I think the players are a bit simple.

Oh I forgot and lazy.
-
Gone to pieces
-
oh fuck me, this is painful.
-
I wish they'd play another replay. That looked miles offside.
Yeah I'm waiting for that replay as well.
-
Shite again.
-
Well done ref
-
Penalty now too. Fuck me.
-
I've never known such a huge bunch of deadbeats at any one time at Aston Villa.
What a shocking club we've become.
-
Bloody hell
-
This fucking linesman. Fuck right off.
-
Blimey
-
save
-
Well done, Bunn.
-
FUCK off. Penalty.
-
Stupid goal. Okore left Vardy with acres of space. Lescott didn't follow up Bunn's save.
-
Not hand ball for me
-
I wish they'd play another replay. That looked miles offside.
Yeah I'm waiting for that replay as well.
Knowing us it was probably on.
Harsh Pen decision though. Good job Bunn.
-
hes better than guzan
he never saves any
-
Good save lad.
-
Handball! That can't have been deliberate!!! Argh
-
Saaaaaved.
-
Oh well done Bunn.
-
saved Bunn! Now build on this Villa.
-
Fucking what a save!
-
Lescott on his heels twice there.
In the old days this thread would have been full of people swearing blind that wasn't over the line
I haven't watched us in a long time and the palace win gave me a flicker of hope
But I've seen enough to know we're down
That defence is just the worst. The absolute worst
-
Yay! Shit pen, but who cares?!
-
I've never known such a huge bunch of deadbeats at any one time at Aston Villa.
What a shocking club we've become.
Only one twat responsible for that!
-
Sticky for Bunn there. Well done!
-
Theyre ripping us apart all the time.
-
Who is this ref?
I thought Shelvey had gone to Newcastle?
-
Right, we need to score before half time, fucking sort it out.
-
Fucking shambolic though, they go to pieces. Shit team, shit behind the scenes, fuck them all.
-
We need to wake the fuck up.
-
This Voldemort Shelvey looking ****** of a ref can fuck off an'all.
-
Saved Bunny!
These officials. A very harsh penalty.
-
Vardy looked miles off.
We have a free kick
Celebrate!
-
Come on Villa. Calm it down. The games not over. We've just had a lifeline. 2-0 would have been curtains.
-
pleeease VILLA
-
I've never known such a huge bunch of deadbeats at any one time at Aston Villa.
What a shocking club we've become.
Only one twat responsible for that!
Yes, we know lads. Jesus wept!
-
off side
but close
-
Fuck off linesman! No way a penalty.
-
We are massively under the cosh.
-
I wish they'd play another replay. That looked miles offside.
Yeah I'm waiting for that replay as well.
Lescott playing him on
-
Come on villa. ..fuck these wannabes! ! We have been the real deal for over a century.. this lot have been the real deal for how long ?
-
Vardy looked miles off.
We have a free kick
Celebrate!
That's what I thought. He looked a good 4 yards off to me.
I think the officials have been bribed with crisps.
Not that we're not shit though.
-
Like men against boys. Sort it out for Christ sake.
-
Come on villa. ..fuck these wannabes! ! We have been the real deal for over a century.. this lot have been the real deal for how long ?
Err never?
-
Leicester are better than us, by a country mile. Our only chance is to out-compete. Needs a Herculean effort
-
Can anyone explain what the plan was before the season started to score goals? Was it as simple as hope Amavi puts in 60 good crosses in a season and Gestede doesn't miss many?
-
I wish they'd play another replay. That looked miles offside.
Yeah I'm waiting for that replay as well.
Lescott playing him on
Sounds about right.
-
Who are these idiots on NBC?
-
Can anyone explain what the plan was before the season started to score goals? Was it as simple as hope Amavi puts in 60 good crosses in a season and Gestede doesn't miss many?
Yes. That was the plan.
-
They're in our faces all the time.
-
We lost what bit of composure we had when they press us. Panic sets in.
-
We only seem to string 4-5 passes together before the pressure mounts and we give up the ball. Disaster...
-
We create absolutely nothing.
-
The way we're set up is all wrong. The defence is shit. Westwood is out outlet on the left. Gil doesn't have the physique to play in the thick of it. Ayew isn't getting into the game.
unhappily our attaching options on the bench are Sinclair and Gestede
-
We are truly shit going forward.
Actually, we're truly shit defensively as well.
It's all shit.
-
We have far too many players hiding when we have possession (again) & I'm doin' my fruit!
-
where the fk are two goals gonna come from
-
Haven't seen enough from our forwards. Forgot Gil and Veretout were playing.

What you're saying is we have a ropey squad. I agree.
-
we shoot when we shouldnt and dont when we should
unless its Ayew
-
Gil has as much effect on a game as a ghost. Waste of time.
-
Ganna losing the ball yet again.
-
Veretout has been good. Westwood's gone back to hiding and Gana has been sloppy again. Gil can't get in the game and needs switching in the second half. I'd bring Traore on to give us a bit of pace and width.
AND I've just noticed he's not in the squad...
Sinclair...? No fuck it...Geste...no..
Okay leave Gil on then.
-
Gil has as much effect on a game as a ghost. Waste of time.
Spooky! I was thinking the same
-
Bacuna equals constant let down.
-
The difference in pace moving forwards between them and us is startling.
-
where the fk are two goals gonna come from
Vardy and Mahrez.
-
The difference in pace moving forwards between them and us is startling.
We attack with Gil, Westwood, Veretout and Kozak. If you can find a slower foursome than that they must be travelling backwards in time, it's appalling. I fucking hate watching us.
-
corner
come on Villa
-
We needed kozak to put that chance away at 0-0. Stating the obvious.
And Lescott needed to be more aware of Okazaki...
Simple things. I still think we'll win.
-
where the fk are two goals gonna come from
Vardy and Mahrez.
ha ha open goal for you there sir
-
At least kozak jumps for the ball unlike Gestede
-
Great bit of pointing then from Westwood.
-
Three Leicester players tackled Cissokho then. So logic dictates there must be some fucking space somewhere else on the pitch. Find it you useless twunts!
-
possession but it aint good
-
I wish they'd play another replay. That looked miles offside.
Yeah I'm waiting for that replay as well.
Lescott playing him on
Sounds about right.
Who didn't react after the save either.
-
Typical Gana shot. He's got his Adidas Tonev's on.
-
I wish they'd play another replay. That looked miles offside.

Nope. As per.
-
Unlucky Gana. Decent effort, decent move.
-
Oh shit! My niece and her man have turned up. I'll have to stop watching the game.
-
gana shit pass come on fcuk
-
Great bit of pointing then from Westwood.
I wish he'd walk in the direction he's pointing and not stop until he gets there, complete donkey. Should be playing against Swindon today in league 2, not gracing our pitch.
-
Oh shit! My niece and her man have turned up. I'll have to stop watching the game.
Might be a blessing.
-
Oh shit! My niece and her man have turned up. I'll have to stop watching the game.
Oh you jammy bastard.
-
Oh shit! My niece and her man have turned up. I'll have to stop watching the game.
No need to gloat!
-
Oh shit! My niece and her man have turned up. I'll have to stop watching the game.
Might be a blessing.
The old "niece and her man" excuse.
-
no cutting edge
No shit sherlock
-
How much do you reckon leicester's first 11 cost?
I bet it's a lot less than ours
-
I've got to say Leicesters closing down is superb. They've driven our attacking players out the game. Ayew has been marked out the game. Gil is powder puff and panics when he gets closed down. They've got a great work ethic as well as some quality to go with it.
-
We caught Palace at the right time. Leicester are simply a much better side than us.
-
Great bit of pointing then from Westwood.
I wish he'd walk in the direction he's pointing and not stop until he gets there, complete donkey. Should be playing against Swindon today in league 2, not gracing our pitch.
Absolutely. I doubt there's been a poorer player in our history who has made as many appearances as him.
-
I know where I have seen that refs conk before, it just got a supporting actor Oscar nomination for the force awakens
-
Oh shit! My niece and her man have turned up. I'll have to stop watching the game.
Is she going out with Lescott or one of our other defenders who are never where they should be?
-
It has dawned on me how truly shit the bench is.
-
Well that was the absolute pits of a performance.
-
Outclassed...by Leicester City.
-
We are not totally devoid of quality in all parts of the pitch but I don't think I've ever seen a side more in need of some pace and energy up front.
That's the biggest difference between them and us. They're full of energy, we look like we've been in the pub all afternoon.
-
well taht was typical villa
preyty poor
like a championship team
no idea how westwood gets to wear an Aston villa shirt
-
Hmmm well at least we're not out of the game. We need to improve a lot.
-
Half time. We're not terrible, we're just nowhere near as sharp and effective as Leicester.
-
Dire first 45, it can only get better from here right?
-
Why is Okazaki being booed? He looks good doesn't he?
-
Didn't realise Leicester had missed a penalty as well !
-

Gil is rubbish. Provides absolutely nothing.
-
Bacuna offers nothing, apart from giving the ball away. We want too much time on the ball, Leicester won't let you have it.
-
It has dawned on me how truly shit the bench is.
thinking the same
-
We're fucked. We are awful.
-
I give them credit for the work rate, but we are a very, very poor side.
-
Outclassed...by Leicester City.
I don't know if you've been paying much attention to the season so far but......
-
Quicker to the ball than Villa, less misplaced passes and physically more imposing. Remi, put a rocket up their backsides
-
It's hard to see where the goals will come from to keep us up. The lack of a pacey proper number 9 was my biggest concern in the summer and it's definitely what I'd be looking at signing on loan
-
Richards for Westwood 2nd half and put Bacuna in middle? Not much of an option is it?! :(
-
Two teams poles apart, confidence wise.
We need to get more zip with our football, going forward. Although Bacuna has been solid we need more gusto going forward, so I'd bring our captain on
The goal we conceded was a shocker
-
I thought Westwood was going to do an "Escape to Victory" overhead kick earlier!
Pele's effort didn't end up in the top of the stand though.
Can't see how we're gonna get much from this.
-
That was crap but wasn't Vardy offside for their goal?
-
Football is a game of two halves. We're going to get battered in the second.
-
When I see we are 11 points from safety at the start of play the game is irrelevant anyway. Obviously the players didn't have to demonstrate that in the first half.
-
I feel we needed something more solid in midfield. We're trying to work the wings but not having any joy. Leicester have been very solid. The lob attempt was class and it was a good save just to keep it out. Bunn also saved a penalty which is fantastic!
I don't know what we can do to change it, maybe bring Sanchez on for Westwood to try and get some prescence in midfield.
-
Why is Okazaki being booed? He looks good doesn't he?
He had the gal to be awake and alert in our penalty area. Whilst our defenders were half asleep.
He is pretty good though to be fair. Works incredibly hard. He's one of those pain in the arse players who doesn't stop buzzing. Leicester are a very well balanced side it must be said. Mahrez is having a poor game and he's their creative spark, so we should be thankful. If he turns up in the second half we're dog meat.
-
Garbage, again, for about the 25th time this season. Major overhaul needed, as we all know, as much urgency in the team as there is from us trying to bring players in. Down shit creek right now. Maybe the louts should wait for them by the coaches after the next game because its the only reaction from the players all season.
Not. Good. Enough. Aston Villa.
-
Westwood and Gana must be the most inept Villa midfielders ever. When attackers make forward runs they turn back seeking useless possession passing with our defenders. No wonder Ayew looks like he is gonna cry all the time.
-
I feel we needed something more solid in midfield. We're trying to work the wings but not having any joy. Leicester have been very solid. The lob attempt was class and it was a good save just to keep it out. Bunn also saved a penalty which is fantastic!
I don't know what we can do to change it, maybe bring Sanchez on for Westwood to try and get some prescence in midfield.
Nice idea, but could be tough to bring Sanchez on.
-
After a brief flicker of "maybe we could get out of this mess" in the week, I see this and realise we are definitely going down and for good reason too.
-
They've just said you can't be offside if the ball comes from a goalkick. Didn't realise that. If that's the case then our backline really needs fucking shooting.
-
We are not totally devoid of quality in all parts of the pitch but I don't think I've ever seen a side more in need of some pace and energy up front.
That's the biggest difference between them and us. They're full of energy, we look like we've been in the pub all afternoon.
Absolutely, Remi needs to give them a kick up their collective arses. Their effort is unacceptable
-
It'll be fine. They'll score again ten minutes or so into the second half, then we'll score three.
Last minute, Gil will beat both Morgan and Huth to a header for the winner.
Sorted.
-
Miles offside!
-
This game is already over for me, we don't look like scoring a goal in a million years. I know which team is going to score next and it isn't us.
-
Can't you be offside from a goalkeeper?!?
-
Cant be offside from a Goal kick if you are talking about Vardy.
-
Miles offside!
Not from a goal kick
-
Missed the post above sorry
-
Richards on for Bacuna for a start.
Bacuna offers nothing at all.
-
Awful defending for the goal and pen. Awful game in general.
-
So...what can we do? Who can we bring on? Gil has been useless. This isn't a game for him to shine. Leicester don't give our players an inch of space. Maybe our only hope is to counter with pace, but do we really want to rely on Sinclair?
Depressing lack of options.
I'd bring on Lyden. Give the lad a go and get Westwood off.
-
That was crap but wasn't Vardy offside for their goal?
Yeah. Not even mentioned it on Sky.
And as if Tim Sherwood is doing the game for Sky.
-

Nice idea, but could be tough to bring Sanchez on.
Oops. I thought he was on the bench. Gabby then? He'd certainly add prescence in midfield.
-
Oh look dim Tim is back from Barbados.
-
Missed the post above sorry
I missed it was from a Goal kick when I initially saw the goal.
-
Don't worry, This was our bad half! we'll be great in the second half! or maybe not!
-
Need a big second half now, fucking come on Villa.
-
We have f*ck all going forward, not finding the spaces or making our passes count.
-
Looking at the goal again that really was fcukin shit from lescott
-
I hope that wasn't our good half
-
At first I thought Bunn did well to save the Vardy effort but looking back if he stayed on his line the ball was heading away from goal Vardy wouldnt have been able to get a shot off.
Overall they are what they are very hardworking and good movement upfront , which is differance.When they made a mistake we had Kozak who has zero pace and he couldn't put the ball away.
Tough now as no game changes on the bench , maybe Sinclair for pace over Kozak,Or Richards to RB and Bacuna in front of him taking Gil off who again looks very lightweight.
-
What the hell is going on with Agbonlahor? I know he's past his best but Jesus Christ he's at least better than the shit we've got up front today. He would at least add a bit of pace into the team.
-
I think we need to get angry with the players again to wake the fuckers up
-
That was absolutely no where near as bad as some on here are making out. Shit penalty decision aside, vardy went through and they scored as a result. Kozac went through and we didn't. If Lescott had tracked back we would be going in 0-0.
-
Leicester are better than us, by a country mile. Our only chance is to out-compete. Needs a Herculean effort
They are rather good, aren't they. I've been very impressed with them. They attack with such speed and all look comfortable on the ball.
Regarding the penalty, yes it hit his hand but would have hit his head after and as it didn't seem deliberate it was a harsh call.
We are doing okay but just don't look like ever scoring. Nothing new there. As much as it pains me to say it, maybe Gestede is worth a shout as Kozak is getting nothing in this game.
It ain't looking good.
-
That was crap but wasn't Vardy offside for their goal?
Yeah. Not even mentioned it on Sky.
And as if Tim Sherwood is doing the game for Sky.
You can't be offside from a goal kick (apparently).
So our defenders fell woefully asleep.
-
No worries...we got a strong bench and are savy with the subs. Oh wait...
-
I think we need to get angry with the players again to wake the fuckers up
No point, they already think putting in one good shift every couple of months will be okay.
-
Looking at the goal again that really was fcukin shit from lescott
To be fair, my mind would be elsewhere if I'd been offered 3 years in California.
I'd have rid of him ASAP.
-
Paddy Power have Villa at 14-1. I had a silly £1
-
He's going to have to change it because there is no way this lot are going to score 2 goals against them
-
Early goal for us and we have a chance, an early one for them and it's goodnight.
Nice positive start please lads.
Come on!
-
They are everything organised, disciplined, committed and brave. I think apart from their stand out players of Mahrez, Schmiecel and Vardy there isn't too much talent wise between the teams.
-
Shameful lack of awareness - or just fucking laziness - from Lescott on the goal. Lescott runs as if he's left his walking stick at home.
-
One thing that always makes me feel a bit sick is the huge corporate area in the Trinity always totally empty after half time while the rest of the stands are packed with people.
-
Getting completely outfought and outplayed. The only kick Ayew has had was on the back of Mahrez calf. Veretout aside the rest look poor particularly the leaden footed Gil and Kozak
-
That was absolutely no where near as bad as some on here are making out. Shit penalty decision aside, vardy went through and they scored as a result. Kozac went through and we didn't. If Lescott had tracked back we would be going in 0-0.
Agree with this. It's happened a lot this season though, we look OK then the defence fuck things up. Was woeful from Lescott.
-
jeez were seriously shite at crossing a football
-
Is that fucking lightweight Grealish still out?
-
Has Cissokho (sp?) ever played football before? What an embarrassment for a footballer he is.
-
Cissokho is truly awful.
-
How many fcukin times do we give the ball away
-
Cissokho is so shit going forward it's embarrassing.
-
What the hell is going on with Agbonlahor? I know he's past his best but Jesus Christ he's at least better than the shit we've got up front today. He would at least add a bit of pace into the team.
Apparently he has a bad back, probably from all the shagging that he is doing nowadays!
-
God almighty our passing is terrible at times.
-
We've started okay but just lacking the right pass at the right time at the moment.
-
I bet training match 5 a sides are a barrel of fun to watch. They can't pass wind this lot.
-
We've started okay but just lacking the right pass at the right time at the moment.
Lacking guile and brains.
-
Is that fucking lightweight Grealish still out?
He's got a hurty throat. Poor lamb.
-
One thing that always makes me feel a bit sick is the huge corporate area in the Trinity always totally empty after half time while the rest of the stands are packed with people.
Just wait until next season.
-
Do we actually practice passing the hall in training?
-
I seriously don't enjoy watching us anymore
shite of monumental proportions
-
Cissokho is truly awful.
I would still rather have him than Richardson, which I know isint saying much.
-
We've started okay but just lacking the right pass at the right time at the moment.
Lacking guile and brains.
And ability. And coaching. Often it seems like the move breaks down when there aren;t any options left and we try and force a pass through.
-
good effort then
-
Is that fucking lightweight Grealish still out?
He's got a hurty throat. Poor lamb.
A couple of good games against teams with nothing to play for last season and he's decided to take this one off. Villa fan my arsehole.
-
Why shoot then?!
-
Ooh some momentum.
-
Who is this idiot co commentating on sky?
-
Come on Villa.
-
Basically, Villa are just no longer even good enough to be called the worst team in Premier League history.
-
Decent spell this. Come on Villa.
-
did the commentator say Wastewood then?
-
We're trying to press, but we no have no cutting edge.
-
New Chairman Hollis has such lousy judgment that he does not even wear a hat on his bald head, on a freezing cold night outside.
-
This is a little bit better...
-
lescott gives it away but okore looks good
-
Fcuk off lescott
-
They'll counter us and score a second.
-
We have no quality out wide,Gil needs to play centrally as does Ayew. Bacuna is poor, never afullback as long as hes got a hole in his arse.
-
We're trying to press, but we no have no cutting edge.
I know I am stating the bleeding obvious but just a decent striker would make a massive difference to the whole current team.
-
This all started with lescott losing the ball when we were having a good spell.
-
New Chairman Hollis has such lousy judgment that he does not even wear a hat on his bald head, on a freezing cold night outside.
I've got a bald head. And I've got my woolly hat on. In my living room.
-
Haven't seen anything of Kozak today.
-
We pass it around nicely at times but I can't help thinking the passes would be more likely to come to something if we had even a little bit of movement off the ball, especially up front.
-
We aren't good enough to break their defence down. As soon as we attack, they have at least two lines of four we can't get past and our passing is too awful to create a chance.
-
Pen surely?
-
penalty there
-
wtf
-
We're trying to press, but we no have no cutting edge.
I know I am stating the bleeding obvious but just a decent striker would make a massive difference to whole current team.
I agree but there is still no supply, cant see the point of Gil in his current position? Veretout, Okore and Bunn the only positives in my opinion. I'd get Sinclair on for Gil or Kozak and then move Ayew central where he looks most dangerous as he looks isolated.
-
When your lucks out its out.
-
100% pen
-
Penalty not given.
-
Fuck off ref!
-
How the he'll is that not a penalty?!?!
-
That's a fucking penalty.
-
Huth is a ridiculous animal.
-
Fucking stonewall penalty.
Yet they give a penalty against Aly.
Fucking snidey cheaters.
-
We pass it around nicely at times but I can't help thinking the passes would be more likely to come to something if we had even a little bit of movement off the ball, especially up front.
But not often in the final third
-
Cheers ref.
-
blow the wissle you fucktard.
-
How is that not a penalty and a sending off!!!!!!!!!! WTF
-
Shock getting nothing from the ref
-
how was theres a pen and that not
wtf you wanking ref
-
This ref is crap, isnt he?
-
wanker
-
How many points has Huth unfairly stolen from Villa for Stoke & Leicester?
-
Crossing is appalling.
-
This ref is crap, isnt he?
Ive always disliked him.
-
It's a tough season when you're crap and it's tough when you're unlucky but both and you're utterly screwed.
-
It seems very easy to give decisions against Villa at the moment, we definitely haven't had fair refereeing this season as shit as we've been. The refs have taken the easy option and gave the whipping boys fuck all.
-
We pass it around nicely at times but I can't help thinking the passes would be more likely to come to something if we had even a little bit of movement off the ball, especially up front.
Amen to that Paul. The lack of movement - and thus options for the player with the ball - is dreadful. That's why I said too many of our lot are hiding out there. It's fucking basic stuff!
-
Westwood is a waste of space
-
2nd bottle of bubbly open.
-
Huth is a ridiculous animal.
He's always been the same. trained by Pulis
-
best of a bad bench
surely Sinclair over gestede
-
great effort there
-
Ball smashed in to someones arm from a few feet away, pen. Forearm smash and near head lock, play on. Load of cock shit this ref.
-
Love Ayew.
-
We're never going to score again
-
Now battle hardened at planning ahead what to do when the away team goes 2 up at Villa Park, so has anyone seen Straight Outta Compton? Wife wouldn't watch it but is out all evening. Dry January has just been declared over, too.
-
Good football...Bad luck.
-
Fucking hell Bacuna come on.
-
Awye again is showing his class
-
wastewood gave it away there
-
Decent football & effort there. Come on!
-
That's a good save from Schmeichal. Stuck to his hands like glue. If that were Guzan he'd have spilled it straight into the path of an attacker.
-
The refs have taken the easy option and gave the whipping boys fuck all.
Clearly Sky-backed favouritism towards the top teams.
-
Anyone want to tell me just what the duck Lescott doing then
-
We're just never going to score.
-
Gestede to rescue us?
-
With two giants we need to make use of set pieces
-
the ref would not give that if it wasnt for the assistant wanker
-
Created a good chance but can't finish. Ayew is our only class player
-
Two big fuckers up front. I was hoping this might happen.
-
We're getting away with stuff, it could be our day!
Gestede on now , long ball direct stuff! now then, but who cares! get it in!
-
How the commentators can keep saying that a Villa win is the only result that will do is incredible bearing in mind that Leicester stayed up on the strength of 7 wins from the last 9 games??
-
Gestede on, oh fuck.
-
Awye again is showing his class
Can anagrams or predictive text save the Villa?
-
Gestede on. Last march of the Ents.
-
Awye again is showing his class
Can anagrams or predictive text save the Villa?
we should sign them both!
-

Were Leicester in as deep as we are? I can't remember
-
Strange game this one. They are top of the league, winning, and kind of making us look ok.
-
Aston Villa have just broken a new record, slowest forward pairing in history.
-
wheres the defence then
-
We need to do to them waht they did to us...Is that too much to ask? ;)
-
Leicester's golden season makes me wonder.
-
Villa 28-1 now. Just taken £5 on it. I don't know why
-
we give the ball away too fucking much
-
Veretout is absolutely rubbish. One misplaced pass after another
-
We mus t be the best team in the league at giving the ball away, we're bloody awful
-
Fucking hell I'm fed up of us passing to Leicester players.
-
top of the table team , so we wont be last on MOTD
-
We're just crap.
-
Microcosm of our 2 seasons. The penalty calls. But even more, their lad just badly sliced a clearance, and it resulted in them being through on goal. We do it, you can bet the kitchen sink on it going out of play. There is no fortune in this Villa side. There is a hell of a lot in theirs.
-
another pen there
-
Gestede has cut his barnet. I reckon he'll be more aerodynamic now. Expect to see him with blistering pace now.
-
Veretout is absolutely rubbish. One misplaced pass after another
Last week he was bestrode Palace like a Titan.
-
Erm handball in the box again!

It doesn't help that we can't pass, can't shoot and can't defend very well either.
-
Giants up front actually need wingers either side. William McGregor's peers knew that for a certain fact. Is Remi Garde from the 18th Century??
-
Fucking hell I'm fed up of us passing to Leicester players.
Eureka! That is the answer. We should just try passing to Leicester players. Then we'd end up passing to Villa players.
-
This ref belong in the lower leagues, complete and utter clown!
-
Veretout is absolutely rubbish. One misplaced pass after another
Along with several others, so why mention just Vertout?
-
Was that another handball then??
Veretout is due an off day in fairness.
-
Who is this clown of a ref?
-
ggoooaalllllllll
-
Rudy you beauty
-
WTF
-
yeeeeeessssssss
-
Gestede. Samson in reverse??
I've always loved him.
-
Rudddddddyyyyyyy!
-
Oh jesus!!!!!! GESTEDEDEDEDEDEEDEEEDDDDEEEDDD7
Lucky break too!!!
fucking in!!!
-
It was handball too. Justice
-

He is from a little village in the Rhône département so probably, yes.
-
deflection ;)
-
Goodness me, am I seeing things? Gestede scores and we get some luck...
-
Huh.
Who knew?
-
Yesssss
Now don't bloody sit back
-
ENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTT
-
Bit of luck. Deserved
-
Fuck me Rudy scored!
-
Handball goal. Rudy revenge. Ref wrong again.
-
come on Villa give it em
-
YESS!!! COME ON VILLAA!!!
-
Heard that from my toilet!
-
Lovely control with the hand
-
Absolutely comical that there were two arms involved in that goal.
-
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Does this mean I can't call him Jushede anymore?
-
Come on Villa!
-

Glitch in The Matrix innit
-
Fuck me, it's JUST 'EAD with his foot!!!!!!!!!
-
Suck on that BBC, with your fucking shitty attempts at snidey humour. Wankers. Come on Villa!
-
Leicester are happy to see this out, but no doubt hope for a breakaway goal as we press for an equaliser
-
get in!! come on settle and get another one!
-
I love how awkward that goal was. ha ha. Quality. I really hope that sees Rudy kick on.
Fuck subtlety. I think we should consider a Kozak and Gestede front two with Ayew playing accross the attacking midfield. Going win to wing.
-
Get t he fuck in!
-
Hand of god.
-
UP AND AT EM VILLA
-
Right don't fucking concede now.
-
Gestede on, oh fuck.
Yup.
-
Come on you Villa legends
-
Villa 28-1 now. Just taken £5 on it. I don't know why
11-2 now...
-
thats a foul again
-
Right don't fucking concede now.
Right, don't fucking not score again now.
-
They have come out fighting in the 2nd half. Have to give em that!
-
Huth's a dirty fucker he really is. I'd expect nothing less from a former Chelsea and Stoke fucker.
-
Jam a winner please Villa.
-
How is that not a pen. If the Westwood one is nailed on at Wycombe, Huth on Kozak is
-
That's another penalty.
-
Jesus
-
The worst ref i have ever seen
-
Had my dearest Leicester supporting dad on the phone at half time. He told me he hopes Villa win, just to cheer me up. Bless him.
Come on boys!
-
I feel physically sick.
-
Right don't fucking concede now.
Right, don't fucking not score again now.
Has your niece left?
-
Unbelievable. How fucking poor is this ref?
-
Leicester are happy to see this out, but no doubt hope for a breakaway goal as we press for an equaliser
As I typed the above we scored, so I'm hoping this willbe another Villa score
-
Fucking come on Villa for once turn a game around.
-
which team is top ? ;)
-
Workrate again from Ayew is just brilliant.
-
When we were losing I felt resigned. Now it's level my nerves are shot to pieces
-
Objectively, this referee is probably the worst ever.
-
I tell you what, Ayew is a fucking brilliant player
-
Crisp wankers and their ref mate, get in to them Villa, finish them off.
-
oh villa one simple ball and hes through ffs
-
When we were losing I felt resigned. Now it's level my nerves are shot to pieces
We're going to win this, fear not
-
That was lovely from Gestede. Unlucky
-
Time wasting bastards
-
Gestede did great then for a second, but thought Kozak could actually run
-
Come on Villa , nothing daft!
-
Almost shockingly brilliant from Rudy there. Nutmeg. Burst of pace. Pass with the outside of the boot...that's overhit.
Almost.
-
When we were losing I felt resigned. Now it's level my nerves are shot to pieces
We're going to win this, fear not
I want to believe so much...
-
Clark for Gana & Sinclair for Jordan please.
-
please please please please
-
Ayew tracking back to defend - Brilliant .
Villa certainly have come out fighting and since scoring want the ball more , even after stoppages desperate to restart the game ..
-
Come on villa...dick the wannabes
-
Turn it in lads. Wankers.
-
Wonder how much this ref is being paid to keep the Cinderella story going.
-
Vardy kicked Bacuna as he went to get it!
-
I hate Vardy.
-
Vardy's a cock.
-
If we win this then I predict we'll stay up...
-
Wonder how much this ref is being paid to keep the Cinderella story going.
It hasn't been a fairly reffed contest by any means, terrible biased ref/ Theres been some really bad ones down there this season.
-
Smarmy little shit
-
Death to Vardy.
Gray on. Keep him quiet, Villa
-
I'll whisper it, but we're looking the more likely to get a winner.
-
Why can't our players stop fighting when we have momentum? Fucking stupid
-
Fuck off Vardy, you utter twat
-
Vardy looks like a rotten toothed bag head the little prick.
-
Watch Gray score the winner.
-
no not him ffs never ever please god
-
Why can't our players stop fighting when we have momentum? Fucking stupid
They're socially inept barbarians, mate
-
Oh God the writings on the wall isint it.
-
What the fuck was that, Kozak?
-
Vardy thinks he's untouchable now he's in the England set up
-
Bacuna broke our momentum liability again
-
Should score Kozak. Great flick Rudy.
-
Uh oh Bluenose to score their winner not Albrighton...?
-
Vardy is starting to believe his own press!, - turd!
-
Dammit. 'Nose Gray on to spoil things now...
-
Bloody hell
-
Right don't fucking concede now.
Right, don't fucking not score again now.
Has your niece left?
No, I have brought copious amounts of food and alcohol out and said I'm just watching the last ten minutes... :-(
-
gestede unmarked then
-
Too many crosses hit the first man
-
Come on lads. One last push
-
A point is...we'll, pointless
-
ha ha ha ha
-
ffs ref
-
Fight, Villa!
-
Whatever happens here, this was a good second half.
-
Leacott was about five yards behind okore for that vardy chance. Ridiculous
-
Wonder how much this ref is being paid to keep the Cinderella story going.
If somebody wants to arrange for Jamie Vardy's eyes to be pecked out by wild birds*...
*what happens to the Ugly Sisters in the original ending of Cinderella
-
Ill take a point all considered.
-
free kick here
-
Whatever happens here, this was a good second half.
Yep. This is top v bottom whatever you think of Leicester's squad. We've done well tonight.
-
if we had only played with such energy and determination all season we'd be sitting somewhere in the 9th through 12th position very comfortably
-
Whatever happens here, this was a good second half.
The quality isn't there but effort has been and it's got us 4 pts from 2 games, which shows up what a complete lack of fight and work rate there has been for the rest of the season. We should not be on 12 pts.
-
and crap
-
sinclair for 40 seconds ? why?
-
are we running down the clock?
-
hows does he get 200 appearances
-
Gana has been good today.
-
not good enough
-
Well played lads, well played
-
Ayew, well played mate. Come on then Sinclair. The time is now!
-
I think we'll get out of this.
-
Well done Villa!
-
What the hell was that last 30 second substitution about?
-
Ah. Good effort Villa. No one gave us a chance but we matched and sometimes bettered a team with sky high confidence.
-
I'm happy with that tbh. Have a good evening folks & UTV!
-
That's a good point and the lads showed the fight required. We need a goal poacher in there.
-
Plenty of effort again which is a positive just not got the quality in midfield or up front but at least we are finally having a go
-
A very interesting range of posts during the course of the game, mostly uncomplementary, then the last few a total change. Fair to say in the second half there was more effort even if the quality wasn't much different but still a little hope
