Aston Villa v Blackpool Post-Match Thread

[Legion]

Good interview with Holloway after the match. Hope Blackpool stay up.

[Dave Cooper please]

It must be great fun to be a Blackpool fan this season. How many goals have been scored in their games this season?

[pauliewalnuts]

I know we've terrible injury problems, and any manager would struggle with an injury list like that, but Christ on a bike, we don't half make things hard for ourselves sometimes.

Christ on a bike? :-)

Ma, porca puttana!

Delfouneso should have had two, he did nothing wrong in the disallowed goal, just got the run on the defender.

[Somniloquism]

Watching the highlights there is one thing I'm glad Houlier has done. He has stopped us doing only in swinging corners. Our two best corners were Downing from the left which, until today, was where Ash used to do Keeper catching practice from.

I could not see why the goal was disallowed at the time and after watching it on MotD I am still none the wiser.

A bit sloppy and a fair bit of Keystone cops defending but a bonus is the kids had more experience and could form the nucleus of a very good team in the coming years, This period of injuries may be looked upon as a blessing in disguise in the future as we've had to blood the youngsters and they are taking to the task well.

When Dunne signed I thought we were getting a bit of a liability, he proved me wrong big time, now he's looking like his old self again.
Cuellar simply has to play.

[Somniloquism]

Defenders knew he was outjumped and acted like he had been pushed. Ref bought the fake. As an aside, there was nothing about the penalty decision on the BBC highlights. Was it a very good shout?

Your Italian is much better than my English,  Pauliewalnuts!

[eamonn]

He lived in Milano for a couple of years, it should be.

I don't think Houllier can take credit for that one, Dunne and Collins made Downing take the outswinging corners instead of young in the 2nd half, they wanted him to hang it up cos they fancied their chances against their markers, and it certainly paid off

[Pete3206]

We should be better than that.

I bet Wigan, Newcastle and Liverpool said the same thing. They ended up with nothing.

[Legion]

Your English is far better than my Italian, Archie.

[KevinGage]

Time for Dunne to sit a few out.

Or GH to beach him.

One of the two.

[pauliewalnuts]

It's not.

Archie's English is better than my English. Innit.
