Sods law Ireland injured, he's done really well. Right Bannan play better.

[RonBurgundy]

Shame for Ireland, he was playing well.

[Mister E]

Wel, we've had the chances; Arse have the goal.

[Risso]

Ooooooooohhhhh!

[TonyD]

Come on Barry lets see some tinsel town football.

[eamonn]

Got to feel a bit sorry for Ireland. When he does make an effort he's sick/injured. Looked to be wincing as he came off.

[D.boy]

Albrighton seems to be putting all his crosses to the near post, wish his team mates could realise this.

Close from Bannan, good free kick. He really does have it all, young Barry, doesn't he?

[ormskirkvillan]

I know we are behind, but this is more like it, passing to each other and playing with some drive. Keep it up, I'm starting to believe we can get something.

He still lacks a bit of sense knowing when to play it simple and when to be clever.

He's a good young player, but we just don't seem to be able to find a combination of players/style of play that consistently gets the best out of him.

[SamTheMouse]

Bloody hell, Ireland having one of his best performances for us and he gets injured. It's enough to make ya spit.

[Risso]

Well, for possibly the first time this season, I feel quite hopeful despite being 1-0 down.  We haven't played badly at all.

[TonyD]

Possibly the best player on our books.

Right well, aside from one stupid mistake we have done really well. We have matched Arsenal on the possession stats and played some really good stuff. Such a shame Ireland came off he was doing well. So we can play, keep it up Villa.
