[Villa in Denmark]

0-0 bore draw.

Suspect we’ll lose, sadly.

Hate  to say it but same as last time there 2-0 to Stoke - hold  them to half time and we then collapse

It was 2-1. Bacuna scored.

There was a very, very loud rendition of Achey Breaky Heart   We want Lerner out for most of the 2nd half.

With the prospect of Hutton,Whelan ,Hourihane ,Bjarnason and Jedinak all playing a part i can't see anything other than a defeat .

I've gone for the bleedin' obvious (draw), but I've a funny feeling it could be won by a solitary goal - either way. If the latter, let's hope it'll go to our hapless mob rather than theirs.

Meh.

0-0 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz night

We have to win this, next 4 games are very much the banana skin that could see the end of Smith, more than capable of beating Stoke, lose this and it's curtains for him.

2-1 Villa.

McClean to torch us down the right side as with the fixture at Villa Park, sending a number of the brexiteer bigots in the away end into a frenzy. 3-0

1 0 Stoke Just a quick word about Westwood I was in the Trinity Road stand ,relegation season against Leicester I think, and a supporter give him stick for nearly all of the game, after about 80 mins I said you Know it’s Vertout your shouting at!

Back in the 90s, a game at Villa Park, I gave the referee Mike Riley absolute pelters for some awful decisions against us. I called him this, that and the other. No one said anything at the game, so you can imagine me watching it later to find out it wasn't him.....

2-1 Villa.

Good grief.

[Risso]

I think that if he fails to win any of the next four games, it could well be curtains for him.  That would be 1 win in 14 games which would be enough to do for most managers.

Want to see some tactical nous today.
But it's all about the derby.
