Pathetic how many empty seats there are. They've won the league and have their best side for 40 years and still can't sell out for a 3pm KO?

Good break. First shot from either teamfrom Benteke.

[PeterWithesShin]

Blimey a Villa attack!

[TheTimVilla]

Possession 85-15!

[PaulWinch again]

That was a chance, not the best use of it.

Shame Gabby couldn't take that straight towards goal.

I really hate this strategy and why does it always seem to be us employing it. I hate when we play a team that on paper is better but we simply go and let them have the ball. Have a real go at them something good could happen, yet so often we go and play the submissive. It is asking for trouble every time.

Terrible first touch from Gabby there.
Ireland gives it away again by being completely limp in a challenge.

Villa Park would be packed every week if we were in their shoes.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

That's what happens when we pass it - well played lads. How about more of it!!!

[peter w]

unlucky. Who was off-side?

[CJ]

Fuck how did that not go in

[hilts_coolerking]

Having a bit more joy now.  Need to be more clinical though with these chances.

[Percy McCarthy]

I wish I could watch this game. If only there was some kind of way I could, if only there was some kind of system where some kind soul could....... well, you know....

[Rigadon]

Who was off side there???
