Aston Villa vs Chelsea Post-Match Thread

[richard moore]

Benteke out for final game is a problem. I really fucking hate Chelsea.

It won't really be if Wigan lose in the week and there are going to be at least two other clubs in the mix after tomorrow's games I reckon with less points than us. Sunderland and Newcastle for me as I think the former will lose to Southampton and I have a sneaky feeling for QPR beating the latter

[D.boy]

Not only did it cost us today but CB out for the Wigan game is the last thing we need.
Please fuck off to MLS as well Lampard.

Half an hour t go, 1-0 up, cruising, and a very ordinary looking Chelsea down to 10 men it should have been thank you and good night.  Surely only Villa could fuck it up so royally from such a position.   We've made a habit of stupid pointless mistakes this season and for all his good work this season Benteke's stupidity has put us right back in the shit.  He'd already got away with it once and didn't learn.  Fuckwit.  If we end up going down it will that moment that swung it.  Going to Wigan with him I'd fancy us to get something, without him I think we'll struggle.  So we have to rely on Arsenal.  Fucking pathetic.

Benteke's still brilliant, but he stupidly cost us today.

The elbow yes, but the second yellow, he was clearly looking at the ball all the way to his foot, and Terry did everything to ensure a red.

I don't buy into us bottling it either, we gave them a damned good game, and easily deserved a point or more.

Terry is a genital wart on English football and should be condemned to a hole in the ground and fed shit for the rest of his days.

And Lampard, loathesome twat.

We certainly never bottled it - we played well and deserved at least a draw - regarding the sending off i don't think we can have too many complaints as it for 2 yellows .

[Jimbo]

We played well, but we were the masters of our own downfall today, as usual. Let's hope and pray Arsenal can do their duty now, because I don't fancy a Benteke-less Villa winning at Wigan.

Agreed Lambert should really have taken him off at half time.

By kicking him, Benteke deserved a second yellow card. It doesn't matter if he was looking at the ball or not, he followed through into Terry and was correctly yellow-carded.

And loathsome though he is, Terry did nothing more than Gabby did when Ramires fouled him.

That game was ridiculously under our control before Tekkers' moment of madness. I guess it wouldn't been too easy to see it out. Doesn't make a lot of difference really but would've been nice to end the season on a high. Midfield three were absolutely superb today though. Sylla my MOTM. Have to say Weimann was terrible. Most of our attacking moves ended with him. At least with Benteke out next game, he can go back to being a central striker. At the end of the day, I'm not going to allow myself to get too upset with this.

[Jon Crofts]

John Terry's injured, nothing trivial I'm hoping.

[supertom]

What a scumsucking shitbag, weasily, asshole, piece of crap, worm puke, ball sweating, disgrace of a club. Cannot fucking stand Chelsea. The bloody lot of them. The only consolation is that the King of Scummy bastards Terry didn't score, or sideshow Bob. They're utterly pathetic.

Again we shoot ourselves in the foot. Gift a win, in a game, up until Tekkers sending off, we had all but in the bag. Aside from our usual footballing suicide we actually played very well, particularly going forward. If Gabby and Delph had their shooting boots to day, it could have been all over, even before Tekkers got himself moronically sent off.

Man of the match for me was Sylla by some way. The lad was immense today. Brilliant in every aspect, defensively and going forward. He looked superb.

Lambert should have made a change or two as well. Wiemann was breathing out his arse after 60 minutes.
Play like this against Wigan and we send them down.

Merry Christmas Frank. It's a bit early I know.

[David_Nab]

I think both sending off's were shit and after the first Mason was eager to even it up.

No subs was weird especially as both Gabby and Weimann where below par.

[ozzjim]

Delph, Westwood, Sylla and Bennett all did well in fairness, but before the 2nd goal we should have made changes. 2 central midfielder we trust to help in that situation would be nice in the summer! Dead on our feet. A big focal point of the side if Benteke is out is a must too.

[Deano's Mullet]

Predictable result but I still think we'll be ok, other teams look more in trouble than us. And I cant see Wigan beating Arsenal.
