Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread

With the exception of Benteke none of the players he bought in the summer are Premiership standard and the young players, with the exception of Weimann have been overrated.

[Ross]

C'mon lard arse still time for an equaliser please.

[TonyD]

4 minutes to save the planet.

[Nev]

There's another one to chalk off on the "we'll be alright-o-meter".

[Risso]

Good decision by Barry to stand next to Platt then.  He looks anorexic by comparison.

[seanthevillan]

One thing about the penalty was noone really went up for it, apart from Benteke - a bit like an unconvincing caught behind appeal.

[Oscar Arce]

4 mins added time

[Rigadon]

Get the ball in the fookin area!

[Matt Collins]

Delph a well earned MOTM

Dawkins looks a bit ropey doesn't he?

Have to agree with this. Only decent buys he's made have been Guzan and Benteke the rest look what they are, lower league players. About £18 million spent on shite again.

[Risso]

Another defeat in a cup final then.

[supertom]

Very depressing facing Milner and Barry today. Seems such a long time ago when we had that sort of quality.

[ez]
