-
Did anyone predict that lineup?
-
Me except Richards isn't in it which surprises me.
-
Only Agbonlahor, Lansbury and Adomah to bring on to alter the game going forward, isn't the best. Let's hope we hit the ground running and for God's sake if we have a few early chances fucking take them.
-
no hutton and flabby excellent
de laet is a very good rB at this level
and houriane gets a run instead of the bun man so happy with this
-
Break up play with Whelan
Energy and drive with Onomah
Passing ability with Hourihane
On paper it's all there, can they please please play as a unit tonight and run these clowns ragged.
-
Generally satisfied with the first team selection, but O'Hare is pretty unlucky to be excluded altogether.
-
Thor is to lead the press with Hogan I imagine.
-
No Rushian even though he didn't play for the U23's last night.
-
no matter which players fill the spots its generally exactly the same sort of performance every week
-
Generally satisfied with the first team selection, but O'Hare is pretty unlucky to be excluded altogether.
He played last night apparently.
-
Is it really going to cost me £3 to listen to this? It was free with your season ticket last year.
-
They're going to bum us back into the Doomsday Book.
-
Outside of Kodjia thats probably our best line up. Hope we do well!
-
Fairly pleased, Terry must have picked the team.
-

Not tonight John. This is the night it clicks. Bruce's Villa career is on the line. The long awaited tonking is to take place. I'd Kevin Keegan love it if we saw a performance tonight.
-
I am pretty happy with that team.
-
I am pretty happy with that team.
Me too, but if we lose this he has nothing else up his sleeve. Hope to fk we win this.
-
If this don't work we're fucked
-
Yep, nowhere else to go after this. Apart from Kodjia back, this is shit or bust.
-
That's the best team he's picked so far but I can't work out why you'd have Hutton and Bree both on the bench.
-
Bree can play centrally as well I think?
-
Can't find any streams for this one. PM if you have any links please.
-
Decent team, but I do get the impression that SB does not know what his best team / set-up is ...
... not really surprised I feel that,
-
We have De Laet with a throw like a howitzer but nobody up front who can head the ball. Has to be JT I suppose.
This side would have beaten Hull.
-
I am pretty happy with that team.
me too. At least I hope I'm happy. No idea anymore. At doesn't look like a long ball, hit and hope team, so lets hope we play that way.
-
this is the onlt thing I can find https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2014/march/listen-live-today-for-free/
-
Jed Steer takes a decent free kick in the warmups
-
Don't know how anyone could complain about that lineup. Pretty excited....which in current terms is bloody excited. Maybe Henri for Thor would be my only change.

-
Still rather Lansbury instead of Bjarnason. Where is RHM? Pray not injured?
-
Is that starting eleven devoid of any of the relegation squad?
-
this is the onlt thing I can find https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2014/march/listen-live-today-for-free/
Thanks. Also WM just confirmed they will be covering the match from 7:55pm (switching after 10 minutes of the Wolves games).
-
Is that starting eleven devoid of any of the relegation squad?
Green played in the relegation team. A bit harsh to include him, but we still haven't technically started with a team not including any of them.
-
Potentially our strongest side, except for Thor. Fistface's last roll of the dice?
-
Goal-line technology is go!! (apart from Millwall, Barnsley and Blose cos their lights aren't up to it)
-
Based on the warm up drills, it looks like 4 4 1 1 with Yoko just behind Hogan, Bjork on the right and Andre left
-
Is that starting eleven devoid of any of the relegation squad?
Thought the same thing on the pre-match thread. Let's hope those two appearances at the end of 15/16 haven't tainted him!
-
I like that line-up too. How the hell can't you get promoted with that squad? Please Villa, start playing like we think you can.
-
Would have preferred O' Hare and Adomah for Bjarnasson and Green but we'll see.
-
AVTV Live looked beautiful when they were testing it a few mins ago. Hoping for a damn fine game. UTV!
-
Is this televised anywhere world wide?
-
Bacuna on the bench for them.
-

I had to furrow my brow for a minute to work that one out. I'll be sending you the bill 😀
-
I just want to see us keep possession better, pass and move and keep the ball of the fucking deck. I watched some of the goals Hogan scored for Brentford and so many of them were clever through balls that he ran on to. None of this hit and hope long ball bollocks.
-
Come on the Villa, just fucking make us happy for once (well since the derby, our last feckin' win).

Bacuna non-starter🎶
-
Evening all. Good that he's dropped Hutton and Flabby. Still not convinced by Bjork but hopefully he'll prove me wrong tonight

C'mon then radio and streamers....give us some updates on what's going?

Green fluffs another chance

Can we get involved please
-
Andre 1 on 1 and just passes it to the keeper
-
Andre Green should have scored there.
-
Good chance for Greene.
-
Green, FFS, just about the worst finisher I've ever seen. Fucking hell.

Green should of buried that.

Green. Just rolled it tamely to their keeper.
-
12% possession according to the beeb stats, bit worrying.
-
Why do we let the opposition knock it around at will? Gives them far too much confidence.

I think 'tame' sums up a lot of ours unfortunately.
-

It was like that when we beat them. Reading like to make sure the defenders get plenty of touches.
-
Started well. Bit worried about us just surrendering possession now though.

As someone said on here, it feels like we play the worst football in all the 4 divisions
-
Strangely enough, this is really poor.

We should be 1 up, even with 12% possession.

-

Started awful.Still awful
-
Reading still with 81% of the ball....great pressing Villa.
-
Struggling to get any ball
-
We've got no prayer under this manager. Can't string 2 passes together
-
That's what legs eleven reports have recently come out as
-
We used to have a rule about not asking for streams in the match thread.
We still do.
-
I'm not going to offer any defence to the likes of Bruce or RDM but we have missed what would amount to a season full of easy chances. And then gone on to throw those games away from winning positions or just a draw. Criminal how has we have been at times
-
Possession stats are shocking. All down to the Manager's set-up and tactics. Bruce has to go!
-
This is like watching Barcelona against Stoke.
-
We've got no prayer under this manager. Can't string 2 passes together
I fairness to the moron, it is hardly his fault if the highly paid professional football players can't pass. Everything else is his fault though - Bruce out!
-
Can't get any tiny rivers to work, but sounds like we're keeping our shape and just allowing them to have harmless possession by the sounds of things on WM.
-
Bruce will take the Icelandic fella off at half time and attempt to put Bacuna on.
-
Is AVTV still free to season ticket holders?
-
This is too depressing and strange. I'm off to watch Hoffenheim.
-
Decent effort from Reading. We've hardly touched the ball in the last 10 minutes. Pathetic.
-

Go home then.

In other news Barry is going to west brom.
-

Nope. £3 a game for live commentary or £45 a season
-
When Villa do get the ball, they just lump it towards Hogan

Had the best chance of the game, but Reading dominating possession - though Tony Gale has just commented that Reading should be 6 -0 up. Not sure what game he's watching.

This is desperately poor. We got the ball back for the first time in forever, then just hoofed it up front and lost it. Why is that potato faced idiot still in charge.

Nope. Any how I reckon they're gonna have to start paying US to watch it soon ...

pm link to game please peaps
-
Trying to figure out if we are amazingly disciplined or just afraid.
-
Maybe not 6 but they should be well ahead
-
Trying to figure out if we are amazingly disciplined or just afraid.
We're just rubbish. Make no mistake, we're being completely outplayed.
-
No bantz on the streamz
-
Play out the back? Please?
-
Thank fuck McShane has got a 50p head. Free header from a corner thanks to Terry falling asleep.
-
Evening, at work so no coverage, how we doing?
-
Can nobody send me a link to the game, please? I've got a DVD on.
-
Given away horribly by Bjarnason, again.
-
Jesus. Hoof and give it away again. FFS why does Bruce have us play this shite?
-
Yay we're up to 15% possession
-

Green had a tame effort easily saved, other than it's about 90% possession to Reading.
-
Can somebody send me a link of sausage. I've no interest whatsoever in the game.
-
Just checking in.. and seeing that possession is currently 85/15 Reading, surely that cannot be true?!
-
Millwall are going to finish above us this season aren't they.

Agbonlahor coming on presumably for Hogan?
-
Andre booked
-
Just read the possession stats on the OS. I knew this would happen when we got into the CL and played Barcelona. 85% possession to them. Fuck me.
-
Just checking in.. and seeing that possession is currently 85/15 Reading, surely that cannot be true?!
That's an improvement - it was 89/11 a few minutes ago
-

I'm surprised at 15%
-
Just checking in.. and seeing that possession is currently 85/15 Reading, surely that cannot be true?!
No.
We're down to 14% possession now.
-
Nearly half an hour gone, and we've had 14% possession. I don't want a manager who serves up shite like that.
-
Flabby on for injured Hogan?
-
Andre's card was ludicrious.
-
Hogan off and Gabby on
-
This game is completely passing Whelan by
Had to check if he realky was on the starting teamsheet
-
Flabby on for Hogan. Yippee
-

Well, it has got two Romanas in it. And a cheeky, metal dog.
-

Oh for fucks sake.
-
Sacked in the morning.
-
Hogan's raffle proze to continue pretending to be a professional striker comes to an early end, to be replaced by Agbonlahor.
-
cunning plan to lure them into a sense of false security, before we unleash our attacking Tsunami in the second half.
-
Tamworth are winning though.
-
We're doing ok so far we're not losing
-
Hogan's raffle proze to continue pretending to be a professional striker comes to an early end, to be replaced by Agbonlahor.
Pretending? Didn't he do very well as a striker at his last club. I think it's a lot more to do with us than him.
-
Christ knows why by the sounds, but would appreciate a pm too if anyone can kindly oblige...
-
Bacuna must be wondering why Reading aren't playing football.
-
Hogan's knee?
-
Turgid. We can't hold the ball at all. Surely if hogan is out RM should come back in.
Playing o'hare last night looks silly.
-
Only a matter of time before they score. We're at 19% possession now according to bet365.
-
If there is a link I would appreciate a pm please.
Thanks
-

Jesus.

The only positive so far is that De Laet looks about 1,000,000 times better than Hutoon

We are all over the place, beyond useless.

Totally dominated by fucking Reading. Bruce is totally fucking clueless.

Hourihane just got a pointless yellow for mouthing off.

Villa fans singing "this is shit my lord."
-
This is painful listening...Bruce playing for a draw but it seems only a matter of time until the inevitable happens. Really can't see us getting back into the game if Reading do score.
-
What was that John Terry chant?
-
The fans sound great on the radio.
-
We can't pass, can't tackle, can't attack, can't shoot, can't defend, and can't play. We're going to win this aren't we?
-
Radio 5 praising our support. "There's thousands of them, in magnificent voice".
-
What a pair of twats on Radio Berkshire....
-
Words cannot adequately describe just how bad we are.
-
In full voice. If only our team as as good as our fans.
-
Promotion, my arse.
Bruce couldn't promote a piss up in a brewery.
-
We can't pass, can't tackle, can't attack, can't shoot, can't defend, and can't play. We're going to win this aren't we?
That sounds like how it was when Bruce got his first win against them.
-
Green shouldn't be starting games, nowhere near ready yet.
-
Doesn't sound like much of an improvement on Saturday ?
-
A rare attack, well sort of.
-
We can't pass, can't tackle, can't attack, can't shoot, can't defend, and can't play. We're going to win this aren't we?

-
"Bjarnason treads on the ball". Sums it up really
-
Thor literally fell over trying to control the ball.
-
Doesn't sound like much of an improvement on Saturday ?
Reading haven't had as many chances as Cardiff had, but we have been totally outplayed again.
-

Yes, we should select from one of our array of attacking wizards instead...

-
Almost reached the heady level of 'average' in the last 5 mins
-
This has all the hallmarks of a last straw game for Bruce. He's gotta go.

-
H-T 0-0. Still my beating heart
-
This sounds absolutely shocking
-
Well, that's 4 absolutely dire halves of football in a row.
-
Jesus. Under the cosh from Reading. Bruce sodding out. Even if we manage to win by squeaking a goal by a miracle. The guy needs to go.
-
I bet that was our good half.
-
45 mins to save his job
-
Still, the half time cocoa and a nap should help.
-
I'm so sick of this shit.
-

-

I'd have said mediocre personally. They're still a couple of levels away from average.
-
We'll file that half with the many others in the absolute shite section.
-
I can't wait to see our good half. Some time in 2018.
-
Bruce out!
Now!
-
You're all being a little unfair...I've seen a number of quality back-passes from the halfway line :-[

It's not actually true. I think they've confused the stats for our long passes with the figure for all our passes.
-
OS
"0-0 Aston Villa – Goalless at the break. 3⃣ points still very much up for grabs here at the Madejski Stadium…"
LOL!!!
-
Thoughts from the away end.
First 15 we were solid, 1 shot on target, then Reading had a good spell 4 or 5 corners in quick time and a few good chances. We are defending way too deep already, 11 behind the ball at a corner for fucks sake.
Bjarnasson is a liability and gets muscled off the ball like an U14B player.
Something needs to change second half.

Villa 23

Seventeen of them were in the warm-up.
Johnstone kept us in the game during that period as well.
-
Villa will get battered and win 1-0 with Agbonlahor scoring to secure his starting place for the next three months.
-
Just overheard someone in the bar describe the lambert era as the good days...
-
On the plus side, we are not losing......yet!
-
Hoofballs :
Reading 23
Villa 246
-
Can't believe Gabby is on. Surely samba up top in a while.
-
we are going backwards with Bruce and Calderwood
that was awful
-
See, this is the whole point isn't it?
We have been shit for months.
He has had a close season, a pre season and a couple of games to work out how to change things around.
And he still can't feckin' do it.
Despite a shoeing at the weekend, he still can't lift, motivate, cajole, bully, initmidate, scare, encourage or demand the team improve their performance.
There is no doubt, no doubt whatsoever that he needs to go, and go now.
-
It's like tertiary piles,and you refuse surgery to relieve it.
It's not that much fun.
-
Hoofballs :
Reading 23
Villa 246
That's just not good enough. Bring on Samba up front we can can top the 300 mark.
-
I'm beyond depressed - the combined efforts of piss poor Managers, inept coaches, pathetic players has left me uncomfortably numb about the Villa now. I genuinely feel sorry for any of you who were not around when we had decent teams with excellent Managers who actually gave a stuff about the name Aston Villa FC. Thank God my memory is still reasonably intact which allows me to remember the great days.
By the law of avaerages surely we will see a Villa team worth its name soon?
-
Did you see Reading move the ball! A football team!
-
Bruce must be thankful he's top of the table and doesn't need this game to save his job or anything.

Don't worry, were stuck with this dross as no one will be mad enough to pay their silly wages.
-
any small river available lads?
-
Anyone got a decent link? I fancy spending the rest of my evening suffering with the rest of you.
-
Did you see Reading move the ball! A football team!
We can learn from Reading.
-
id take paul mcrath , andy townsend and steve staunton now instead of bruce , calderdeadwood and clemence
-
any small river available lads?
You want to watch this?
-
and to think they still have Ronaldo on the bench to come on and score for them
-
Adomah on for Bjarnason would be my first sub.
-
Crap first half
-
id take zippy bungle and George instead to be fair
-
Here we go, round 2. Time to see what magical inspiration and tactical flair Bruce has breathed into his team in the break
-
See, this is the whole point isn't it?
We have been shit for months.
He has had a close season, a pre season and a couple of games to work out how to change things around.
And he still can't feckin' do it.
Despite a shoeing at the weekend, he still can't lift, motivate, cajole, bully, initmidate, scare, encourage or demand the team improve their performance.
There is no doubt, no doubt whatsoever that he needs to go, and go now.
This. Even if we scrape a draw tonight.
-
any small river available lads?
You want to watch this?
I'm trying not to watch, and I'm stood in the away end :)
-
Cardiff are flying. Lang nets his 4th of the season. I think they paid 250 quid for him. Neil fucking Warnock looks like Pep Guardiola in his pomp compared to Steve Jurassic Bruce.
-
Good job their forwards are rubbish
-
Two efforts from Reading already. Second half starting in the same way as the first finished.
-
any small river available lads?

I'm trying not to watch, and I'm stood in the away end :)
I find sitting down is a much better way of not seeing the match.
-
And there we go
-
1-0 Reading.
-
And there it is
-
And that's game fucking over.
-
And there we go.
Fuck off Bruce.
-
Didn't take long after a fantastic team talk.
-
There we go. 1-0. wankers.
-
Bye bye Bruce.
-
1-0 down
-
As stats prove, were not gonna win this one now.
-
bruce out
-
bollics
-
Bruce. Fuck right off.
-
I really, really, really don't want to go to work tomorrow. Fkn useless from the bstrd top to the bstrd Gabby and Richards.
-
Bruce out. Fucking useless.
-
TONY CALL BIELSA NOW.
-
de laet who I like does a hutton
-
Don't let the door slap you on the arse on the way out Steve
-
Game over
-
Clear your desk doughnut
-
Here's a stat from Twitter, not sure if it's entirely correct of course:
Passes made:
Reading 246
Villa 23
23 passes in 45 minutes.
That should be room for dismissal
It's not actually true. I think they've confused the stats for our long passes with the figure for all our passes.
The real stats aren't any better, for completed passes it's 363-75 so we've completed just over 1 in 6 of all the passes in the game. Honestly Bruce should be made to walk home.
-
Out out out!!!!
He's gone!
-
Bruce out tomorrow morning please, fucking Potato.
Total passes
Reading 363
Aston Villa 75
Played off the park. Pathetic, even if by the miracle of all miracles we get something it's time for this dullards reign to end.
-
It's no surprise.
-
Was the OG Whelan's first touch of the match?
-
Steve Bruce has been nothing short of a disaster. Not even the most optimistic, who saw the potential positives of this appointment saw this turning to shit so fast.
-
Can someone tell me why Gabriel is on? I've only just joined the latest debacle.
-
what a shower of shite!
-
8 points off the top two after 3 games
If bruce has any decency he'll resign
-
Fuck off Bruce you fucking dinosaur. Just fuck off and take the other chancers with you.
-
Can someone tell me why Gabriel is on? I've only just joined the latest debacle.
Can someone tell me why Gabriel is on? I've only just joined the latest debacle.
Scott injured again
-
Can someone tell me why Gabriel is on? I've only just joined the latest debacle.
Hogan off injured in the first half
-
Fucking joke.
An OG.
When it's against you, it's really against you.
As I mentioned previously, 3 games into a new season and our confidence will be feckin' shot. The damage is done.
It's already going to be a long haul to try and get back on track this season.
-
:(
-
can we be bottom tonight?
-
No matter what team we play, at virtually any level, they always look quicker, sharper, fitter than all of our lot.
-
What a disastrous start to the season. Fuck sake.
-
Can someone tell me why Gabriel is on? I've only just joined the latest debacle.
Hogan went off injured
-
Can someone tell me why Gabriel is on? I've only just joined the latest debacle.
he's our top scorer ... er, make that our only goal scorer ... the scorer of our only goal.
-
He has to go tomorrow this is a disaster.
-
if he isnt sacked by Saturday, we need a mass protest before the game, 30k fans singing for his resignation, and a walk out at halftime. Mark my words - we are heading for relegation at this stage, and I wish I was just saying that in jest
-
We are 2nd from bottom as things stand.
-
Bloody hell did you see them standing off then
-
Whelan's pointing ability is right up there with Westy but at least Westy could run
-
Did anyone really thing we'd go up this year with the dickhead in charge? Especially after last season?
-
Thanks all. Genuine question with the arrival of Billy Big Bollocks do you think there is unrest in the camp?
-
Its hard to put into words how shite we are. Feck off potato.
-
Can someone tell me why Gabriel is on? I've only just joined the latest debacle.
Hogan injury.
-
2
-
2-0 fuck off Bruce
-
Can someone tell me why Gabriel is on? I've only just joined the latest debacle.

How many shots we had on target this season?
-
We need to get behind Bruce. Ignore the evidence of your own eyes. Look at his previous promotion recor...
Fack it. Bin him tonight. Leave him down there with Bacuna.
-
2-0 Barrow
-
2-0. Fuck off Bruce
-
2-0
-
Jesus christ Reading are passing their way into our box without us even attempting a tackle.
-
Fuck right off potato.
-
2 0 fucking ell
-
2-0. Game over.
Bruce. Fuck right off...and when you've fucked off, carry on fucking off and then fuck off some more.
-
We are pathetic.
-
Game over. Embarrassing. Predictable. Bruce out.
-
2-0. See you, you fist-faced ******.
-
did Mo Farah just score?
-
We want Bruce out say we want Bruce out.
Between Green and Bjarnason they've completed 9 passes. In 50 minutes....
-
HA HA, did you just see that....the defending, the fucking defending...
-
can we be bottom tonight?
We'll be one off the bottom at the end of today.
I just hope Dr Tony tells him to Fuck off after the final whistle tonight! >:( >:( >:(
-
Can a Manager get sacked mid game?
-
League 1 here we come!
-
Should of put some dosh on the 4-0 i predicted....shame I'm not a gambler as we're collapsing (a bit like a burnt down pier would collapse after being left in the sea for a decade to rot further).
-
Oooooooh dear!!........
-
How can the defence be so shite???
-
Fuck off Fistface
-
Any one know why the audio on the AVTV commentary keeps cutting out after about 10 seconds? - I'm losing the will to live and my f@*$%@g mind!
Edit - On the bright side at least I've missed both goals
-
what do we expect when hes still playing flabby up front
-
2-0, 460 passes to our 150, 75%/25% possesion, 12 shots to our 2. Utterly, utterly pathetic.
-
We want Bruce out say we want Bruce out.
Between Green and Bjarnason they've completed 9 passes. In 50 minutes....
That's mainly because they're both absolute; i mean utter, utter, shite. And clearly so is Bruce.
-
Dreadful defending for the 2nd goal. What a shitfest of a club we've become, and what a shitty era to be a Villa fan.
-
Looks like we're this season's Rotherham
-
this is villas bad half
-
Randy is pissing his Yankee pants.
-
His remit was to get us out of this division.
He's going to do that, guaranteed.
-
End of the road for Bruce the not so Almighty.
-
How can the defence be so shite???
Nice to see that all that lucre we're paying our No. 26 is worth it.
-
Useless, it's time for a change. If not its another season down the drain.
-
2-0, 460 passes to our 150, 75%/25% possesion, 12 shots to our 2. Utterly, utterly pathetic.
It's early days yet.
-
It's almost some kind of bizarre achievement to have made things worse, given where we where at, what we're up against, and the funds we've had at our disposal.
It's takes a special kind of ineptitude to get to where we are.
-
3935 Villa fans travelled to watch this shit. Fair play to every one of them
-
Bruce has become a nightmare appointment.
-
First goal was a bit unlucky, second was joke defending. Awful.
-
-
They'll bring Bacuna on soon, just to take the piss
-
Jesus christ Reading are passing their way into our box without us even attempting a tackle.
The first goal was a carbon copy of Saturday. We were so open on the right side and their player just strolled into our box before the goal.
-
Southend, Fleetwood, Gillingham away days - it'll happen unless the club take action
-
We were absolutely dreadful the first half, and that was our good half.
-
this is villas bad half
How dare you?You haven't seen Saturdays first half yet.
-
James Milner has just scored a nice goal for Liverpool. What the fuck has happened to us?
-
They'll bring Bacuna on soon, just to take the piss
Their fans were singing "Leandro Bacuna, he left 'cause you're shit"
-
Was that boos for Hutton coming on?
-
Im just waiting for Bruce to blame the loss on Hogan going off.
-
cue Cafu
-
2-0, 460 passes to our 150, 75%/25% possesion, 12 shots to our 2. Utterly, utterly pathetic.
It's early days yet.
Like 20-20 cricket, takes the score with two thirds of the game done then double it.
-
Bruce has become a nightmare appointment.
The only good news is the short term damage should be limited to these three games. Assuming of course he gets fired tomorrow, which any sane owner would do.
-
And now Hutton comes on. Bruce obviously really going for it. The sack that is
-
Hutton on. Oh my days.
-
huttons on goodnight vienna
-
We're the Villa boys getting f**king destroyed everywhere we go.....
-
Was that boos for Hutton coming on?
I hope so.
-
Dr Tone just send the message to him now to fuck off, pick a random fan from out of the crowd to take over and end this charade right now.
Pissed all over, twice in a 4 days by the giants of Reading and Cardiff, both completely outplaying us and no mistake.
-
Power substitute.......Hutton for de laet
-
Where is the captain in all this carnage? A summer of piss taking bollocks. Round and Wyness should get the same taxi as Bruce. Fucking clowns the three of them.
-
2-0 down, 1 goal scored in three games, so of course you bring on Alan sodding Hutton.
-
Sacked in the morning chant started....not sure from which end!
-
Two nil down and what does Kasparov do with his subs, to shake things up? Swaps right backs. GBHutton on for de Laet.
-
1 win in 9 league games. Fuck off Bruce.
-
Absolute rubbish Green. Back to the stiffs for you son.
-
Yay a corner!
-
I've never left a ground before full time before, a habit my old man taught me.
Tonight I'm already thinking about it.
-
The guy is a fucking idiot, 2-0 down and getting battered and he makes a straight swap at right back to bring on Hutton. a whoole summer wasted because the club didn't have the bollocks to fuck him off at the end of the season like they should've.
-
You seriously couldn't write it. I think we should give SB a few more games........
-
Two nil down and what does Kasparov do with his subs, to shake things up? Swaps right backs. GBHutton on for de Laet.
Tactical genius!!
-
Quote....plenty of time to do something about the score....
yes they could get a couple more!
-
Bruce has become a nightmare appointment.
The only good news is the short term damage should be limited to these three games. Assuming of course he gets fired tomorrow, which any sane owner would do.
I do hope you're right.
-
Lets lighten the mood. Who is our next manager.
-
Goodbye Stevie Bruce
Oh what can it mean to a(nother)
Sad useless bastard
That's ruined our team
-
Plan A is hoof ball bollocks to midget strikers
Plan B is hoof ball bollocks to Donkey make shift center forward Samba
Plan C is Hutton when you're 2-0 down....
Someone end this come on. He can't see out tomorrow. I'd say shambles but it's over used. I'm not even sure what word accurately describes this attempt at playing football.
-
is green shit or has bruce made him shit
-
C
Lets lighten the mood. Who is our next manager.
Stevie Wonder?
-
Can he take Wyness with him please?
-
Gosh but Green is bad
-
Two nil down and what does Kasparov do with his subs, to shake things up? Swaps right backs. GBHutton on for de Laet.
I think you will find that is called the Queens Gambit Declined, or in English speak, I'm fucking clueless!!!
-
How can our performances be worse than tripe we served up last season ? Should go tomorrow, I bet he gets to the end of the month.
-
😐😡😡🤔🔫🥔😔=40k+😊 the message to Tony
-
Dr Tony needs to start thinking of a replacement RIGHT NOW. Someone who can do a better job than this clown. My mom's not doing much these days.
-
It's just great that our "appalling half" is actually the better one.
-
Steve Bruce's Aston Villa.
-
Bruce has lost the dressing room
-
Can he take Wyness with him please?
Can Round drive them to wherever they are going ?
-
The only side below us in the league are Burton sodding Albion.
-
I wrote the other day give him till international break. Too long. He needs to go by 22:00 tonight.
At the latest.
Uncceptable
-
Dr Tony needs to start thinking of a replacement RIGHT NOW. Someone who can do a better job than this clown. My mom's not doing much these days.

They play on Friday aswell.
Would SHA lose to have us bottom of the league. Of course they would....

Megashitfestfuckup?
-
Green was a cracking player ruined by what is laughably called our style of play. Another one who some lucky bastards are going to pick up for fourpence hapenny.
-
This is the worst i've ever seen villa
-
Bruce has lost the dressing room
It's quite a feat as he's bought half of it.
-
I refuse to believe that this squad can play this badly, there is surely something happening with the squad that we are not privy to, I would say the players want him out.
-
Whohoo a shot almost on target
-
Dr Tony needs to start thinking of a replacement RIGHT NOW. Someone who can do a better job than this clown. My mom's not doing much these days.
The dr is part of the problem just look at his first two managerial appointments
I honestly don't think he picked Bruce, it felt like a Wyness apoointment at the time and everything I've read since suggests that Wyness is the only reason he's still here.
-
villa attck for a change there
-
Goodbye Stevie Bruce
Oh what can it mean to a(nother)
Sad useless bastard
That's ruined our team
Sorry Legion, we already had a crap team
Fuck off Stevie Bruce
Oh what can it mean to a, Fat useless bastard
and HIS shit football team
-
This game has a whiff of custers last stand. He could be out the door. My eight year old is free for a couple more weeks to lay a ground work of tactics and fitness for the team.
-
Dr Tony needs to start thinking of a replacement RIGHT NOW. Someone who can do a better job than this clown. My mom's not doing much these days.
The dr is part of the problem just look at his first two managerial appointments
He can fuck off as well
-

We've said that a few times for some years now.
-
But ... but ... but we're up to 31% possession
-
I hate chopping and changing but, nah, he's toast.

Maybe he is but if we lose him? Omg there's no doubt we would fall off the cliff.
-
If you didnt know these teams you would guess that the ones in black played a league below the ones in white & blue. Its that bad.
I mean Reading have just taken it down a gear or two and are still cooly in control of the game.
-
Plenty of Bruce out chants I hope , LOUDLY.
-
Bet Bacuna is happy.
-

-
Sam Allerdyce, anyone? This is absolutely fucking dreadful, the manner of that second goal was beyond a joke. When you go 2 down, and you decide to bring on Hutton, you're making your own bed,
-
Bye bye Bruce - thanks for some things
-
Goodbye Fistface!
-
Bet Bacuna is happy.
Don't bloody blame him. He can look forward to playing some decent football this season.
-
The pitiful texts have started coming my way. Kill me now.
-
I feel so sad for you who think he'll go.
Not a chance.
-
This is the worst i've ever seen villa
We've said that a few times for some years now.
Groundhog day
-
Bet Bacuna is happy.
I think he might have leaked Bruce's tactics.
-
I want warnock
-
Bye bye Bruce - thanks for some things
Not very many though
-
Bet Bacuna is happy.
I think he might have leaked Bruce's tactics.
jaap , he just hoofs it
-
The game has completely bypassed us. We haven't competed in it at all.
-
Bet Bacuna is happy.
I think he might have leaked Bruce's tactics.
That talk with the Reading manager would be the world's shortest ever conversation.
-
He doesn't have many excuses to stay. We are worst than last season. He's addressed none of our faults but done a cracking job of ensuring that we lose one of our strengths - a relatively strong defence.
-
Disgusting performance. Bruce should walk not wait for the sack.
-
Already out of any automatic promotion race.
-
Bet Bacuna is happy.
I think he might have leaked Bruce's tactics.
Would have taken him all of 3 seconds to say "hoofball"
-
Premier League supporters.
Conference North players.
Parks pitch coaches. (That's an insult to them, sorry)

Like Lambert before him, I don't think he was a bad choice at the time of his appointment. Lambert, however, was given far too much time when it was clear things were getting worse and Bruce shouldn't be given that luxury.
-
Bet Bacuna is happy.
I think he might have leaked Bruce's tactics.
Jaap - Welcome Leandro, I knew it's a bit naughty of me but.... what's Bruce's plan?

-

Retired from club football.
-
There's just something utterly cuntish about watching Aston Villa in 2017 and still having Hutton and Agbonlahor in the side.
There are club legends who played less games for the club than Hutton.
-
2-0 down, needs to get something to save his job. No change of tactics. Players dont give a damn.
Why is he here?
-
Whelan has been a passenger. Just awful
-
1 win in 9 is it?
-
Already out of any automatic promotion race.
Still plenty of time to change things and get back into it. But we need to act now, Bruce has failed
-
Bet Bacuna is happy.
I think he might have leaked Bruce's tactics.
Wouldn't of taken much effort to remember them.
-
I spoke to a Fulham fan today who suggested we wouldn't have to worry too much about Reading tonight after watching them Saturday.
I just laughed....
-
they are not even trying here
-
A nice fella,but his time is up,i really think that the job,a dream job for him,is too big for him.
I appreciate the immense pressure he is under,but he gets paid accordingly,so farewell,and take your staff with you,please.
-
Already out of any automatic promotion race.
We were never in it. The top two scored 40 more goals than we did last season. We bought a center back and a defensive midfielder.
-
Blimey, we scored.
-
ggooaalllllll
-
Wow, Hourihane goal. Good finish
-
2-1 shock!
-
Nice goal. Come on lads, fucking get something out of this game.
-
how did that happen.
-
Goal
-
Sam Allerdyce, anyone? This is absolutely fucking dreadful, the manner of that second goal was beyond a joke. When you go 2 down, and you decide to bring on Hutton, you're making your own bed,
Retired from club football.
Sure we could convince him
-
Holy shit balls. A goal.
-
Tactical masterpiece on its way
-
Dying a slow death listening to it and missed the goal as WM switched to a Wolves penalty!
-
Good finish
-
I feel so sad for you who think he'll go.
Not a chance.
That statement scares me, why would you say that?
-
ffs ref play advantage
-
Finally some pressure.
-
Premier League supporters.
Conference North players.
Parks pitch coaches. (That's an insult to them, sorry)
Conference North?
You're having a laugh.
Midland Combination, more like.
Hyperbole, I know. But fuck a duck.
-
Kevin Friend makes shocking decision shock.
-
Almost equalised somehow.
-
And that's that
-
Bruce will claim we were unlucky.
-
Fucking...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Hull (who we drew one one with at home) 2 Wolves 3
Let that sink in. The dogheads scored more in one game than we have all season.
-
6 pointer on Saturday. Can't wait
-
I hope that late goal doesn't gloss over anything, its time for a change. We wont though until its too late which will be in another 2 games time when were 0-1-4.
