Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[Fergal]

Shit oh shit

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck 2-0

[Nelly]

0-2.

[Mister E]

Chelsea will score more when they want to score more. We are shit.

Some people's expectations of this rookie side really are bizarre.

That might need to be late entry as dumb post of the year. Lot of contenders this year in that category.

Which bit of it?

[Rigadon]

Sorry, I know this is an inexperienced side and a weird atmosphere but that's unacceptably soft.

[Mister E]

Corners - our nemesis at both ends of the pitch.

[Astral Weeks]

You lucky, lucky bastards.

[boboonthecorner]

There seems to be a bit of an air of resignation in this game, ominous clouds over VP

[PaulWinch again]

Unfortunately that's game over.

[Ozzjim]

Wow, if you play for Chelsea catching the ball is clearly now allowed. Dropping it for a volley is then obviously a must.

[dean saunders left boot]

oh well my pre match optimism that we'd get a point from this match has faded quickly after that

[ez]

Thats bad. Chests it down from a corner and scores.

[taylorsworkrate]

Such a poor poor goal to concede.

[timeoutbigbar]

Weimanns touch isn't especially good is it.

[Monty]

Both Gardner and Bannan should be central, or at least, in Bannan's case, not treated as a winger. He doesn't have the pace to skin a full back down the flank, sometimes the short ball isn't on so he tries the Hollywood, which isn't working. Gardner is wasted out there, and we're being overrun centrally.

Ah bollocks.
