Aston Villa v Newcastle United Match Thread

[Chrisupnorth]

They're swamping us in midfield.  Still Lambert does nothing!

Brian Little's commentating here. Imagine what he really thinks.

[pauliewalnuts]

We're so, so very bad.

If we're not buying because the owner doesn't fancy it, then we deserve to go down and stay there for a very long time.

We are making Newcastle - a side one point above us - look brilliant. It's just so easy for them. Men against boys.

[usav]

4-4-2 now, with some width.

[Fergal]

I really want to support our manager and have tried my best to find reasons why we should keep him.  If we cant change the team to try to get us out of the shit then the only thing left is to find a new manager.
I think we are fucked if he stays and we are fucked if he goes.  Question is who do we want as our manager in the Championship next year?

[eastie]

He wont quit and lambert wont sack him - a marriage made in hell!

[itbrvilla]

Newcastle are the only team in the league without an away win........

anyone on a shit run needs to play us

[ozzjim]

Amazing what happens when you get 4 players and your best midfielder back all at once.

[onje_villa]

Thank God we have 3 central defenders when we're 2-0 down at home.

Oh and national media, "Yes, if Bent started, we'd be so much better off".

[Tuscans]

In a team that doesnt create chances is there any point in playing Bent? Im sure Gab would at least run at their defence

[Ross]

Someday, years from now, we will laugh about this.

And the guy running their midfield is the one who would have made a massive difference to ours but we won't pay.

[Somniloquism]

It's embarrassing how much better they are than us.

That's what happens when you invest in players

Exactly, they saw they were in trouble and added strength in all areas of the field required. Our Chairman and Manager have seen where we are weak and have conspired to get no one in no matter that each match shows it more and more. At least the papers can't accuse us of panic buying.

[eamonn]

We might not get another point this season!

Just laugh, it's what we started doing in '86 and it's the only way to stay sane

And you're meant to be the optimistic one.

[berneboy]

Lowton has been utterly dreadful, along with Baker.

They're just boys. They shouldn't even be playing every week. All confidence has gone and they should be being protected.
