Aston Villa vs Chelsea Match Thread

Lots of silly bookings. Odds on to boost our red cards record.

Cleverley with a bit of luck.  Straight red preferably.  And then shoves the ref over.

[Monty]

Westwood and Gil have been looking to make things happen, as has Hutton, but everything else is just still as a freezeframe.

[seanthevillan]

Gil has been hopeless so far, keeps turning into trouble and too lightweight.

Benteke will come on at the break I reckon with Gabby going wide.

Bullshit. He has been our best player.

Too lightweight? Should he be crunching into tackles? Remember the same thing being thrown at Bannan, who Gil is streets ahead of.

Right, Their keep is flapping at crosses so let's get Benteke on, Gabby off. Benteke can mix it with Terry and Cahill better than Gabby. Will it happen? Probably not.

Look at the Mourinho, sat there like that with an 'assistant'. Fucking amateur.

Wish Villa had an amateur like him

I feel I should clarify the sarcasm that was intend in my earlier post, which was intend to lampoon Lambert's seeming assertion that he don't need no assistant.

No need  for clarification.Perfectly clear

[Nelly]

Shit cross from Hutton that time.

Apologies didn't see the irony

[Tuscans]

I like Alan but his crossing can be dreadful

[Jimbo]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[JUAN PABLO]

how minutes is that now

[Tuscans]

I expected to get smashed....slightly surprised it's only 0-1.

[kippaxvilla2]

How we playing then?  Sounds like we are all over them if only losing by a goal?

[PaulWinch again]

11 hrs without a goal and some of the sides below us winning.

[citizenDJ]

Well, we're doing better than I thought we would, so that's good I suppose.

If Gil can keep fit, he may well be enough to be the difference between us and some of the poorer teams in the division, especially if Benteke can somehow get his mojo back.

[Goldie.7]

I'm falling asleep.
