Aston Villa v Newcastle United Match Thread

I dont fucking believe it, the hotel bar I am in has just put on the theme from that 80's DJ who used to read out sad stories.

Jesus...

[PaulWinch again]

2 big hard midfielders and we are different team, less pressure on defence, more ball for the attack.

Only if you get rid of Baker and Clark from the defence, they're nowhere near good enough.

The problem is that we have contrived a system here where we not only have no width, we actually have no centre either. We have at least one player hanging around like a spare prick at each end by picking 3 centre backs and two strikers. Given how clear it was what Newcastle were going to do with their midfield, to basically play without any players in the middle third is, I'm afraid, the worst tactical decision possible.

This has just made me laugh out loud and scare the cat.

I think I'm delirious. God, this is shit.

[Dave Cooper please]

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.

It's gone beyond optimism now!
You need to be certifiably insane to think this shambles is staying up.

How people can argue that Lambert is the best manager we could possibly hope for at this moment is staggering.

Thats what happens when boards listen to supporters

[Tuscans]

I feel so sorry for the people who paid to watch this.

You'll be suicidal

[The Man With A Stick]

I can't even bring myself to get worked up about it.  It all just feels so inevitable, the writing's been on the wall for two years.

[VillaAlways]

I now know how Blackburn fans felt and I don't think they were as shit as we are now

[ez]

I used to enjoy watching football. Seems a long time ago now.

Get ready for the half time double substitution and the switch to 4-0-6.

[Irish villain]

I'm 31, I can't comprehend Aston Villa not being in the top division.

Me neither

Lerner OUT OUT OUT OUT

[not3bad]

Still 2 days to the end of the transfer window?  Or will it just be a case of "We go again"?!

[Lamb_Stockmix]

For me this is the worst first half performance of the season.

At the most important time.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Anyone see Zog getting a red car to compel the misery?
