Has Bent ever won a header whilst playing for the Villa?

heskey did a bit of the Heskey Shuffle there.

Anyone else notice?

[JUAN PABLO]

I do like Ireland in the team

[NeilH]

Holy crap, some of our passing as just seen is enough to make you cry.

[Summers]

Shame we got Bent cup tied. Gash. Terrible first touch, poor movement, a passenger.

[Risso]

This is dismal.

[Mister E]

Chris Waddle has got it so right - three times now in the last five minutes he has said how sloppy we are with the passing.

How we been playing lads? Just turned on to watch Marco embarrass himself with an effort. Looking at that pitch it's like I was transported back to the 1970's.

well we probably deserve to be in front..... but it's been pretty bloody woeful!

Aside from that cracking goal at West Ham you mean?

Nice little piss take about Keane being a Villa fan as a lad

Passing shambolic as usual. But a few good patches.

[PaulWinch again]

Very very sloppy passing.

We've been transported to the 70s all season, anyway.

[Summers]

Also.. why are they all booing Heskey so much?

And then also.. Ireland is by far our best player. Very clever. He's also showing great workrate.
