Aston Villa v Newcastle United Match Thread

[Somniloquism]

Right, i'm off to watch Cabin in the Woods and to try and pretend the Villa aren't playing. There is absolutely no chance I will be back to check on how we're doing. No siree Bob, not a chance in hell.

Good film, that.

It is a good film, but is also a Marmite one, although I expect PWS to get all the references on the Betting board about 30 mins in.

Sissoko looks strong :-(

[VillaAlways]

**sigh**

[Monty]

We've hardly touched the ball and they have a free run of the midfield. The system looks poor.

[PaulWinch again]

Cynical foul on N'Zog.

[ozzjim]

Should have been a booking for Debuchy

[eamonn]

Murphy asking good questions of Lambert, on 5LiveExtra now. Fair play.

What did he ask?

Rather than the generalities that you answer with, are you prepared to criticise specific parts of your teams play?
Could you blame the fans if they came to the Newcastle game, expecting for once that their team bloody well put on a performance for them? etc.

To which Lambert replied with general, non-specific answers. In fairness he's always been steadfast in saying he will never criticise individual players.

Come on Zog get up. Nothing wrong with you.

[Fergal]

oi up chaps, hows the first few mins gone?

A system is perfectly designed to produce the results it gets

Good movement from Bent there, I suppose, but the first five minutes Newcastle have waltzed through us as if we had no midfield.

Can you believe that?!

[Lamb_Stockmix]

All Newcastle in possession but we had a tasty counter.

[James]

We haven't conceded a corner yet!

[PaulWinch again]

Cheers Eamonn. Bloody hell our centre mid look like children.

[Fergal]
