Aston Villa v Chelsea Post-Match Thread

[Monty]

Well the commentator mentioned the Agbonlahor incident but the pundits saw fit not to.

And, no, I'm not surprised.

Did they mention villa were shit?

No. Because by any stretch of the imagination, we weren't shit.

Rubbish. We were fukin shocking. Young team yes but led by a complete twat of a manager that couldnt lead a circus.

To be honest I don't think many of us could lead a circus. Looks a tough job.

Their time is limited, I thought they would have showed Gabby's first half chance that Cech saved with his foot, but in context showing Collins header was probably more sensible for analysis, only they didn't discuss it!

The ref had a shocker, the linesman's reaction to the Gabby incident tells everyone there was no foul, Chelsea were the better team, deserved their win but they did not need the ref's help.

Plenty of managers available. Lerner has Shit in his eyes. I'd even take Warnock over our current clown of a manager.

No we weren't. Shit or fukin (sic) shocking is losing 7-1 against Chelsea with pretty much your strongest 11. Losing 4-2 the day after your captain is diagnosed with leukaemia and 12 academy players are in your 18 man squad is slightly different.

Anyone want to bet if it had been a Torres shot that the keeper had jammed onto the bar it would have been shown?

Apparently on BBC WM McLeish said he expected a relegation scrap when he took over.  ?!?!??!

Can anyone confirm this?

Well he is making sure his expectations are met.

[phantom limb]

I've seen highlights of the game and I think that John Terry business is a bit of a fucking disgrace. I'm not a horrible person in real life but it's difficult to not want something bad to happen to him every hour of every day, forever.

Are you suggesting the clowns run the circus?

Sorry, I'm trolling. I happen to agree with you, but we can only hope we stay up and THEN get rid of the manager to give us  better hiring options in the summer. Probably a vain hope.

[VillaAlways]

But the fact that were in this position, with such a thin squad is inexcusable Whatever way you look at if

It must be a logistical nightmare, getting from place to place with all those animals to transport and keep fed.

Hats off to the Gerry Cottles of the world.

I mean the organisational skills involved. You have such a varied group of performers with very different needs and potential problems, including the animals, so you have to know the ins and outs of all of them to be able to help. Tightrope walkers, trapeze artists, lion tamers, clowns - all sorts really. Here's to circus runners.

So 70 minutes and a scuffed Gabby shot on target is good? Add to that a full 90 mins against Arsenal were we didn't have a shot on target. One thing is certain our defending is fukin shit.

[olaftab]

I am proud of our kids who played today. Bad result but I am not going to criticise the team. As for McLeish no point in poking more sticks in to a dead body.

I shudder to think how he has brought us to this juncture.

Well, McLeish obviously struggles to handle the clowns
