Aston Villa vs Chelsea Match Thread

[Rigadon]

Well I never.  Who would have thought it.

[hilts_coolerking]

Oh for fuck's sake.

[Boz]

The start of many

[ktvillan]

So we've dropped just about the only player who's likely to conjure a goal out of thin air and kept in all the players who have failed to provide him with more than the odd chance in the last dozen games.  Pure fucking genius.  So with the white flag firmly in hand and the captaincy with the utterly inneffective Gabby, what could possibly go wrong?  I predict a thrashing.

[devilla]

Afternoon all. And there's the first. So depressing.....

[Jimbo]

Batten down the hatches, men. This could be the mother of all arse-destroyings.

[paulcomben]

7th minute just like last week. Not learning. They MUST sack Lambert.

[Toronto Villa]

You have to wonder how much more of this we are going to subjected to?

[Tuscans]

Onslaught!

We look just like or even worse than when Hull played Newcastle

[IAmTheOneIanOlney]

I thought for eight minutes, we were excellent, right in the game.

[ktvillan]

According to Garth Crooks we're playing the high line again.  Well it worked so well at Arsenal so why not?

[Sexual Ealing]

At least the fuckers haven't put us through any torturous period of hope.

[Jimbo]

Cross for Benteke... oh.

[Malandro]

1 nil down, what a fucking false narrative

AP McCoy has announced his retirement.
