Chelsea v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Quiet Lion]

Well we were royally fucked by the ref tonight. Absolute bullshit

However my god we played well, after the first 15 mins.

Delph was brilliant.

If anyone thinks all referees are impartial and play both teams by the book tonight is exhibit A that it is bollocks. You cannot accidently get so many decisions wrong in one game.

[Chipsticks]

We can be very, very proud of that display. Now, onto Saturday.

[Ron Manager]

Cast iron penalty but Weimann should have put away his first chance. My Spanish commentator screamed pennnnnnaaaaaalllty!

Very very positive.

Great effort and commitment tonight  hugely impressed with the way we gave Chelsea a real tough game , Delph was superb and Okore impressed when he came on but well done to all the team.
 If we continue the season as we have started and it will be be a season to remember -certainly no reason we cant finish top 8 from what ive seen so far- well done to all , players staff and fans.

Andy Gray, Richard Keys and Tony Dorigo all baffled completely by it apparently.

[PeterWithesShin]

Proud to be Villa.

[Tuscans]

If we play like we have the first 2 games we can really get up that table and who knows push for a Europa spot....with luck.

Mind you I thought we were poor the first half, too deep and not holding on to the ball....saying that we created the better chances, Gabby unlucky with a side foot curler outside the box which would of been a worldy, and Weimann with 2 Volleys straight at Cech.

Okore did very well coming on...

[Dave]

All this 'it was the referee's fault' makes us sound quite a lot like the Arsenal fans we were laughing at a couple of days ago.

A couple of decisions went against us tonight, there will be another game this season when a couple of decisions will go in our favour.

[Monty]

Delph was brilliant.

Outstanding. Third name on the teamsheet at the moment.

[Ducksworthy]

Guzan carded after the whistle for having a go at the ref - good man.

A lot of positive to take from that and unlucky we lost. Delph is really coming into his own, Okore looks quality and I think we're going to have a good season. 8-0 massacre to a 2-1 robbery is a sign things are on the up.

[ozzjim]

The goal was a disgrace. The handball? I'd have probably felt annoyed if it had been given against us, not sure if Terry can really get his hand out of the way there, and his arm's up because he's falling not because he's blocking.

Still. We're in these games aren't we? Roll on 'Pool.

Watch it again. No way is an arm naturally there. It is a penalty in every different interpretation of the laws of the game. The ref has cheated, he is 5 yards away with a clear view.

[charleeco7]

We were mugged tonight. Superb second half. Thought Delph was outstanding again and Okore looked solid once he got into the game.

Very unlucky indeed.

[Smirker]

It's not hard to believe the refs can get it wrong ffs.

Leave this shit to the scousers.
