Aston Villa v Reading Match Thread

[Warren Aspinall]

I'm trying to keep positive I really am, but I think this will end badly tonight. Fair play to the Holte for having more faith than me though.

[Fergal]

Here we go, time to unveil the master plan....

[Apyadg]

why the fuck did gabby run into the middle then?

clueless.

Because he's a shit footballer whose only asset is his pace.

[supertom]

Come on Stevie, time to prove you can be a match winner.

[richard moore]

There's nothing between the two sides.  And it's fucking Reading.  Jesus wept.

when you consider we pretty much out-Arsenaled Arsenal at the weekend how have we dropped to this level?

As I said earlier, very much of a trait of relegation threatened teams

[Rip Van We Go Again]

How did we manage to spend so much money and get into so much debt to wind up with a championship level squad?

Because the two men with most power at the club couldn't find their arse with both hands.  Even if they were wearing those giant hands Kenny Everett used to wear.

They couldn't find their pricks with a map and a torch.

Tonight was always going to be nervy though, they have only lost 1 in 5 so are in decent form.

[The Left Side]

The fans are amazing, doing all they can.

absolutely

[Apyadg]

Never fear, Albrighton's here to give Reading any number of unnecessary free kicks.

[Matt Collins]

I'd have kept Holman on pwrsonally

[ozzjim]

Would have preferred the free kick there ref.

[Total knob-head]

Nice one, now let's get at these fuckers and score.

It's just not enough, at the end of the day. We raise our game against the better sides (well, sometimes) for spells but ultimately come away with next to nothing.

Then we play sides like this and look like a League One side.

I wonder wtf lambert is playing at with Bent but this piss poor squad is down to one man and his hopeless, hopeless stewardship of the club.

[JUAN PABLO]

whats Benteke doing there   FFS

[Jimbo]

We look about as sharp as a ballbag.
