See, another striker has been bought on.

Pure. Tactical. Genius.

Oh for **** sake! I hate that little Ausie!

Milner = Class.

Wooooop!

I've lost count of the nnumber of shocking deliveries from Downing tonight. Again.

I've never rated Downing and even after giving him a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 47th chance at Villa I still think he's poo. He adds nothing.

Love the optimism here people!

i think the tactics, teams selection, lack of subs and inevitibility of what was going to happen this season has slowly but surely erased most of it

This maybe so but in this particular game we're actually playing quite well.

Love the optimism here people!

James Milner will go supernova.

He's clearly looking at Milners leg too. He knew what he was doing. Shocking really!

'We were beaten by a better team', which to some people seems to mean the better team should always win? If that was the case then why doesn't FIFA force us all to adopt some sort of points system akin to figure skating?

Football is about scoring goals. We lost the game because Chelsea scored 3 of them and we didn't get any. Would it have been different had we been awarded a penalty; of course it would! Even if the score had ended 7-1 again, at least we could all say the ref got that decision correct. We would still be suffering the same disappointment but not coupled with this frustration. To a point, the same can be said of the potential red card incidents. It may, or may not, have effected the game but we will never know, and that's what is so f**king annoying.

We're playing like we are hanging on to 1 goal lead to Utd.

Very poor officials yet again.

WTF IS DUNNE DOING???

Mensah off is good. He's played well.

Cattermole apparently immune to cards.

Is Downing aware he has a leg on the right too? If so, why doesn't he use it?

Ashley for England's right wing?

Great move, great goal and the Fonz did more than Heskey has all season.

Well done the Fonz.

Where was the pen???????? FFS! Ref lets us down AGAIN!

After Gordon's saves and that miss, anyone else got the feeling it's going to be one of those nights?

Yes.

Oh FFS.

How could he miss that? :shock:

The defender used his ass to push Collins out the way. Another did the same to Carew earlier. It must be a new tactic!

Isn't that a foul?

Fonz hatrick please.

Well, Carew looks lazy and disinterested.

Are you actually watching the game?

He quickly proved me wrong.
