Chelsea v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Hey Rio!

Fuck off!

As time goes on I'm becoming more convinced about Clarke; he's very similar to John O'Shea, both flexible players who can cover midfield and defence. I'd say he has potential to be better though.

He's played Right Back, Left Back, Centre Back and Midfield so far.

Fair play to Herbert, still hacking up and down the M40 in his Roller to watch his beloved Villa

he's our new Gareth Barry. I think he shows remarkable composure for someone so young, and as you've pointed is proving to be quite versatile.

That was my thinking too Drummond.  He's still young enough that he can make one position his own in time, but flexible utility players don't tend to have great careers at Villa.

I thought he was channelling the spirit of Laursen today with that goal.

Sky was no better the commentator was saying 'Cuellar should of handled the ball for their equaliser.......... I couldn't believe it!

Pleat. Plumbing new depths of stupidity.

I thought that was Alan Smith

Nice one. Thanks.

That's more like the Villa I know and love.

Really proud of the performance today, good decision to bring Dunne back and play the 2 centre halves at full back.

Has anyone explained why Chelsea did 6 more fouls than us but we had 5 more bookings.

Over the moon to come away with a point i thought everyone played there heart's out really good performance if we can carry on playing like that for the rest of the season i would thrilled to bits.

[The Situation]

Wow, what a topsy turvery match. Despite us choking like a DOG in the last 10 mins once again it's a very pleasurable result. Felt like Deja Vu after that eventful game on Boxing Day a few years ago... you can laugh all you want but even when Clark equalised I went out straight away and played some basketball for 5 minutes draining free throws because even though we'd just done a great thing I couldn't bare the tension and the strong possibility of Chelsea crushing my heart for the second time in the space of minutes.

We played great today apart from that silly few minutes when they scored those two goals (I just knew that 3rd goal for them was coming, just felt it) and hopefully we can really kick on now after a very good result and start making some serious progress climbing up the table and out down the bottom.

Good debate this penalty lark.

Malouda did throw himself to the ground but the offence had already been committed. As soon as Collins put his arm / elbow on Malouda's back it's a penalty.

Just spoken to friend of mine who is a highly qualified ref and they said pen too.

Interesting.

MOM - Randy Lerner for that goal celebration after the third goal! Quality!
