Sunderland v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Risso]

A belated afternoon all.

[Goldie.7]

It's time for someone else to take free-kicks me thinks?

Feeling for Houllier at the moment. The squad he was left with has too much drek and those not much of a decent blend. The lack of a really decent front man is also a problem. Much as Heskey is playing well since Houll's arrived, he'll never be a goalscorer. Much work to be done methinks.

Young couldn't cross the road...

Young couldn't cross the road...

Ain't that the truth..

[hawkeye]

Halsee is the most anti villa ref ever

[Monty]

To be fair, that's an incredible tackle.

Great tackle Dunne

[eastie]

top striker and ball playing midfielder and we would have the makings of a very good squad - im sure houllier will address the problem in the transfer window.

[LeeB]

he must be a closet fucking nose.

[themossman]

Alright all. Just got in and Villa down, as sadly expected. Assuming the 17% possession stat on bbc is some kind of error though, right? Right?

[Irish villain]

can't believe this game....

[adrenachrome]

Now we know how Everton must have felt.

We should complain about Halsey, he is beyond the pale.

I don't think the Downing incident was a penalty after all. The NRC one was though,. Need Gabby back
