Aston Villa vs Chelsea Post-Match Thread

[richard moore]

We weren't in the slightest bit gutless. Quite the opposite in fact.

It was a good game of football and there was plenty there to be proud of.

Why is Terry so unpopular?

No idea.....always puzzled me too.......

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.

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.

Eyes all the way on the ball.

It doesn't matter what his eyes were doing. It's what his foot was doing that matters.

It was a yellow, just like Ramires' was a yellow too.

We weren't gutless at all, but I really hope Arsenal beat Wigan on Tuesday.

I know Arsenal have a habit of bottling when it really matters, but there's no way they'll accept finishing below Spurs. They'll be all out for this and Wigan will be fucked after todays final. Think the Goons will tear them apart to be honest. Well...I hope so.

 A point is enough.

Definately.

Relax- Wigan will not beat arsenal !
Wigan will be relegated on Tuesday night.

I know but I'd not have the nerves of waiting for that, if they're winning at the end I'll be confident.

I think a point would be my preferred result.

We're mathematically safe and loads of other teams are potentially still in real trouble.

[JUAN PABLO]

oh well..

come on Arsenal...

would have liked to see some subs about the 75th min as a few of them looked knackered.

Played well today , worked hard.   There was only one team winning it until the Tekkers sending off.

Delph and Sylla were excellent .

Would have seen charlie on for Weimann .

A top CB to be signed and we go on and move up.

Lambo blaming referee.

Really?  How long have you got?

[PaulWinch again]

Westwood, Delph and Sylla were great today.

[Bishop Brennan]

Agreed. And even if by some miracle Wigan do sneak a win on Tuesday, chances are that at least one of the other teams below us will go down instead.

Well thats over now....a few things we can hope for the next coming days. Man. City injure Maloney, Gomez and Kone today, Arsenal get at minimum a draw on Tuesday, Bent scores a hat trick last day and puts his value back up from 10 pence to 10 million and John Terry need his legs amputated.

But well done Villa, I for one feel proud of you no matter what the result, the performance was excellent. Sad to say goodbye Stan...

...Lambo is talking, absolutely pissed he is

[PaulWinch again]

If Lambert is blaming the ref he's wrong.
