Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread

Good first 20 mins. First time Collins is involved and it all goes to pot. THE BLOKE HAS GOT TO GO.

He did nothing wrong.

I disagree.  Climbed all over him, kept his arm round him, then used his weight to bring him down.

whats with the giving it to petrov

[Jimbo]

Petrov, stop trying to shoot, you'll kill someone in the crowd.

Unlucky Clark

[Ozzjim]

Great chance that!

No, you're right, he definately didn't try a WWF move in the penalty area, and he definately is the Welsh Beckenbaur.

[Martyn Smith]

We're looking good on the whole though, making chances and looking lively...could have done better with that header there...

[Somniloquism]

Ferrera has done his third foul and no hint of yellow. NRC tackles once and is instant yellow.

[JUAN PABLO]

ferrira fouls 3 times now..wheres the booking

[Risso]

Every time Petrov gets the ball he thinks back to the 6-0 against Derby when he scored that wonder goal.  His shooting is dire.

[Jimbo]

Why hasn't Ferreira been booked yet?

[Ozzjim]

How many fouls is Ferrari going to be allowed before a beloved Chelsea man goes in the book?!

[Villa'Zawg]

I wish I could stand up at games like Randy can.

[JUAN PABLO]

need more from petrov and downing

[Countryside Villain]

Look, the BBC doesn't lie so lets get off Collins back eh.

1400: James Collins and Brad Friedel were both booked in the aftermath of that penalty decision - they felt Florent Malouda backed into Collins in the first place and TV replays appear to support their view. Lee Mason's card has just come out again, too, because he has booked Nigel Reo-Coker for a nothing challenge on Didier Drogba. A busy few minutes for the referee.
