Aston Villa vs Chelsea (NextGen FINAL) Mega Thread

[Mister E]

Need to get Grealish on the ball a little more.

Do you have to shave your head to be a part of the Villa Academy coaching staff?

[Colhint]

I get the feeling they might have some very good individual players but we are more of a team

[Mister E]

When Chelsea players have a poor shot, Robson says the pitch is to blame; when the Villa have an attempt, it's poor play or a poor decision.

[Matt Collins]

We're playing really well now. Carruthers and Robinson are really playing well, as is donacien. I'd hope Robson will agree we've been the better side in this half

[olaftab]

Oh that's lovely. Popped out to do an errand and come back to a 1-0 lead...

I understand John Terry has been flown out to the final to lift the trophy should Chelsea win it.

Typical part timer

This commentary is really annoying, the only real difference between the sides is that they're quicker up front, but the commentators are going on as if we've barely touched the ball, I reckon the possession is probably about even but they keep saying chelsea have dominated possession.

Just like Friday, they're biased towards our opposition.

The commentary on Friday was a joke throughout.  I know I am biased to wanting Villa to win but they really do seem to want whoever we are playing to win.  It comes across as plucky little Aston Villa they're doing so well just to be here, it's pathetic.  They're just obsessed with clubs like Chelsea that is all they care about.

The Portuguese commentary here on Friday was very complimentary towards us, despite us playing a 'home' side. I'd imagine it's a reflection of how much importance they give to youth football and it's development. Over here they will show live the national u18, u19 and u21 games and people are interested in seeing them. They very much appreciated and respected the characteristics of the Villa team and there was no sour grapes when Sporting lost.

If drennan was playing, would he be upfront instead of Robinson? Or does Robinson play on the wing? Is this the team Jordan graham normally plays in?

Yes, I have just got back from a run and had the same nice surprise. I was following the pre-match thread before I went but then, peculiarly, completely forgot about the game during my run

[villajk]

Terrific save?  It was but what about the shot.  Idiot commentator.

[richard moore]

I understand John Terry has been flown out to the final to lift the trophy should Chelsea win it.

A Chelsea legend...which tells you everything you need to know about that sordid little outfit

[Oscar Arce]

Robson has gone from saying the Villa players are 'technically inferior' to Robinson and Grealish are both 'excellent players' !!!  Come on me Villa babbies !!!

[Mister E]

Chelsea sub: CHunte - any relative of J Terry, I wonder?!
