Aston Villa vs Chelsea Post-Match Thread

City down to 10 men. McManaman is really starting to grate on me as a player.

One raced past myself, Dave and Steve at the bus stop at around 3pm heading towards the Adventurers.

Wrong thread.... boooo me.

And how does this relate to Villa v Chavski? 

[Small Rodent]

It shows Small Rodent.  If the player in front of the keeper in an offside position does touch it, it will give offside, unless the player is a red manc in which case he will get Goal of the month.

Ha ha! Re-reading what I wrote, I did answer my own question!

Have you ever seen a player give the ball away so much as Sideshow Bob?

NRC.

Luiz was garbage today, first 10 passes, 9 must have gone to Westwood or Sylla.

I think Neville summed him up right calling him a playstation player as to the armchair fan who never goes to live games he looks "amazeballs" because he scores a 35 yard free kick every so often.

I can't believe this hasn't been picked up by anybody else but here goes.

By jingo, John Terry is a count. A fecking count, at that.

I agree mostly, but when he gets it right he unplayable, he was easily man of the match in the game down there, for example.  Most of the time he's a long long way from being a £20m defender.

Two police vans went flying up towards there just after the match ended.

Was it a shooting / stabbing / heart attack ??

[Legion]

Heart attack.

I wasn't going to go to today's game but so glad I did. Despite the result it didn't seem a bad performance to me. Like others, I can't imagine John Terry having any redeeming features. The only thing good thing I can say about Chelsea is those fans who stayed for the lap of honour and held up posters for Stan should be proud of themselves.

Regarding the lap of honour, possibly one of the most poignant ones but it also felt positive in a sort of life affirming way.

[silhillvilla]

It was nice how the rain stopped and the sun came out for Stan.

We deserved to beat a decent team who just six months ago put eight past us. If you can't see positives in that you might as well give up.

Positive won't keep us in the PL, only points will.  We had them in the bag and could have been sitting back chillin watching all the other clubs fans panicking in the final week.  That's why I'm so pissed off with Benteke, he really didn't need to risk raising his boot like that, and he's given me at least two more days of tension and anxiety I could do without at the moment.    For me there's nothing worse than having to get something on the final day and that could still be necessary.  Many people are very blase about writing off Wigan's chances at Arsenal but they looked pretty good today,  beat a team full of expensive stars and they've pulled out big results like this in previous seasons.   So bloody unnecessary.  Why do we do it to ourselves?
