Aston Villa v Newcastle United Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Come on lads, step it up. We have time.

Leon Best has been terrible today but Newcastle deserved that.

Management flunking the obvious change imo. Bent and Nzogbia have to be called ashore and the midfield stiffened up with Ireland and Albrighton

[Irish villain]

If you don't press the ball, that's what happens. If you don't keep the ball, if you invite pressure, sooner or later your opponents will find a way through.

We can't adopt that as our strategy. Letting teams come to Villa Park and be all over us is simply not on.

[Mister E]

We need to keep the effing ball! Possession.

[Caiphus]

Off-side!

[PaulWinch again]

We need to get hold of the ball.

[Fergal]

We can't just hold on to the ball can we?

[Caiphus]

Leon Best has a pretty good record for a shit striker, but the flag should of come up...

[Louzie0]

Acc to 5L only one scoring chance through to Bent so far.  Gabby on fire, but I'd like to see us using all our scoring options!

Bring on Albrighton!

Is that Alan Green?

It's not thankfully, some Geordie chap.

Alan Green is as annoying as Motters

Agreed. The BBC have this chap from the 1800's commentating on the Bolton - Norwich game. Quiet hard to understand what's actually happened there!

No idea who it is - but said some nice stuff about Paul McGrath.

Come on Villa.

[Mister E]

No way that was a foul by Petrov!!

[Irish villain]

We are fucking pathetic. It's like we want to draw every game :-(

[taylorsworkrate]

This isn't working McCleish.

Change something.

[Blackcountry Villa]

Thats what happens when you go 1-0 up and sit back so deep, and when you couldn't pass water. We're playing just like Blues under McLeish, go 1-0 up and play like the away team at home. Fucking dire.

Oh and Fabian Delph is garbage, Championship player at best.

[Fergal]

This is going to be a long 25 mins followed by a longer season.

[Irish villain]

FFS Collins and Petrov not on the same wavelength
