Why do Villa have to ruin everything by again writing fairytales for other people/teams?

For some reason letting Torres score his first goal in 10,000 years (which is what he is paid to do) gets precedence in some quarters of the media over Stan's attendance and ovation at the game.

I went out after the game yesterday to a family event, and ended up watching MOTD with the benefit of beer goggles. Given how good [for wont of a better word] the 19th minute was, felt Gary Lineker et al discussed Stan in a moving way too. As for the game itself, it was a strange one imo. Gobsmacked that we managed, briefly to equalise. Thought the ref was awful. Overall it just felt weird to me.

Fair play to the kids for playing the way they did against a top european team, we weren't in it for three quarters of the game but with a bit more luck we could have got a point. We are in trouble and the support we had yesterday is the only thing that can get us out of it.

Well done to the fans and best of luck Stan.

Proud of the kids, gutted with the result, dismayed by the ref, understand why so many women (supposedly) have slept with Terry, easily the biggest cock in the premier league.  Most of all moved by the Petrov stuff.  Have to admit I have not been his biggest fan on the pitch over the past two years, but off it, a true gentleman, and I wish him all the best

Thought the youngsters done really well against a full strength Chelski. Albrighton done well when he came on, was surprised he did not start and Baker done really well. The ref was awful for the whole game though.

The 19th min applause for Stan was fantastic.

Baker lost his man at corners but it must have been difficult for the kid coming in at the last minute, so no blame from me!
