Sunderland v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Matt Collins]

Westwood, bannan and benteke the pick so far. I think they look poor, but more dangerous in the final third.

[Monty]

A gambling centre midfield player getting into the box would get goals from Benteke

I think that's meant to be Ireland.

[Rigadon]

That shot almost defied physics in going behind where he was standing.

[PeterWithesShin]

Another stupid freekick as we head into injury time.

[Lamb_Stockmix]

How on earth is that a free kick?

[Mortimer's Bear]

Good afternoon everyone, how have we played first half?

[PeterWithesShin]

I hope we hear some boos at HT. MON loves that.

He's too busy with the lunging tackles

[PeterWithesShin]

And another one. So stupid for Ireland to play that pass.

The Sunderland fans and players look a combination of bored/pissed off. Quite glad this games at their place, think it puts more pressure on them. Lichaj booked.

[Jimbo]

Stupid booking there.

[Tuscans]

C'mon Villa, theres 3 points here if you want it...Sunderland look very Villa from 2008

[hilts_coolerking]

Daft from Lichaj.

[Summers]

Normally a fan of Ireland, but he's losing the ball too often with poor passes.

Lichaj should never have been booked for that, he didn't kick it away at all. :\

[citizenDJ]

Lichaj seems a little....excitable, doesn't he?
