Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread

[Monty]

So far, well, it's as could be expected when we play perhaps the best side in the league while not selecting the best team we possibly can from the available players.

[Astral Weeks]

Man alive, this is tedious stuff. If I was a neutral I'd have switched it off.

[VillaAlways]

Ashley Youngs there

[Summers]

Kinda nice/surprising to see Young there.

Definitely miss him.

Sports reporters only ever talk to other sports reporters. They have no idea what real people actually think.

Why don't they ask people who go to the games what they really think as opposed to making up clichéd bollocks?

Sky are blaming our fans for our poor form.

Not the way I heard it.

'It must get to the younger players when the home fans are this quiet. Maybe that's why the away from is better'

So far this has been a training exercise for Man City. I'm very disappointed that given that we do have attacking players in the squad that we haven't tried to put their back line under pressure. We are simply not quick enough to player effective counter attack. This has all of the hallmarks of a depressing defeat about it. We a tempting fate with every Man City attack.

What's the point parking the bus if our defence is that shit?

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking wake up Villa.

[Fergal]

Why do these summarisers always speak such utter shit?  AM hasn't done anything wrong? Has he seen the league table?  Also when will they realise that we ain't that bothered where AM came from as much as we are bothered about him being a shit manager?

It's Gary Neville isn't it, what do you expect of that utter twat?...

I would expect the utter shit he is spouting.

We're not really trying to do anything, that's the thing. We're just kind of trundling along not hindering them in their passing. It really is like a training match.

It'll go on for a while then City will score, and that'll be that.

[Irish villain]

Kinda nice/surprising to see Young there.

Definitely miss him.

It was lovely. Nice to see our club means something to some of the players that have played for us.

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck me off the post.

[Fergal]

Hit the post , nutmegged Petrov.

[D.boy]

Fucking wake up Villa.

Ssssssh you'll wake the rest of us.
