Efan Ekoku was well pissed that Rooney got booked, took him about three replays to decide it wasn't a foul and he still thought he should have got away without a booking because it was "his first one of the day" I basically want Lineker and his cretin buddies pointing at a big **** blackboard saying ASTON VILLA HAVE PLAYED THREE AND WON THREE AGAINST THE TOP FOUR or I'm walking down there to reclaim my licence fee by force

Redcafe poster 1: This game is made for Berbatov Redcafe poster 2: Why, can he defend? ----------- Redcafe poster 3: United is sure to score with all this pressure

Gabby's hold up play has been A+ all season, Young's not in the form of his life but the two of them carved them open for that goal

in what kind of universe can one win move you from looking over your shoulder at Birmingham City to looking ahead at Man Utd

s'true, but the report itself does say that after all the talk of Man Utd going level on points with Chelsea, it ended up being Villa that were the big movers, and also that we might feel pissed off that people were talking up spurs and city and ignoring us

What made me happy was the bloated daytripper getting his video camera out to film the free kick Rooney won for bouncing the ball off Collins' hands, and it then being hilariously thudded into the wall

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Fox Soccer commentator has already said that Ashley Young is Luke Young and namedropped "Carlos Macheda"

"faggot" kid took his shirt off and started dancing eventually and got a bit of applause, so it wasn't like flat-out cruel abuse of a minor, but was still kind of taken aback that they'd chosen such a meathead american gaybasher word to use on him; not sure if I would have been more or less offended by good ol' English terms like "bender" or "poofter"

Was there a highlights show on BBC one last night or is it all in one show tonight? I want to see Milner's goal again, it went in so fast I could hardly tell what was happening.

Statistically we're one of the teams least likely to surrender a lead, and the defeat at Blackburn was the first time we'd lost a game we scored first in for absolutely ages

We played OK. We only lost because the referee was a retard. Anyone trying to spin this into some O'Neill Tactical Ineptitude hobby horse is also a retard.

From the derby I played it sounded like they'd just told Andy Gray to troll the shit out of Blues to make up for FIFA 09 having Keep Right On being sung at Villa games if I was a Blues fan I'd be **** suicidal hearing his five minute long explanations of what a shit yo-yo club they are and how he'd never have joined them

shopto.net is £35, free delivery and usually arrives a day early, but someone told me ASDA would have it £25 on release day.

How are you playing it already? This is one of my favourites off the demo. The games usualy go to the shops upto 2 weeks before release. So gets leaked early. Hoping for an early MW2. Those look good, what kind of stats have the Villa players got?

We were so close to being 3-0 after that Agbonlahor cross; it could have degenerated into a sexual assault at that point. I'll take 3-1 though. There's so obviously an England player in Shorey somewhere, the last two good games I remember him having have been at Anfield and Old Trafford. He was casually cutting inside like he was Gareth Barry tonight. I think Ashley and Glen Johnson maybe sort of cancelled each other out a bit? This was fine because of set pieces. I got mild schadenfreude off Martin Tyler's constant reassurances that Liverpool could still win the game and his claim on 80 minutes that Villa had come here for a draw, but it sounds like Alan Green was the place to be for sheer drown-me-in-the-sweet-water-of-your-tears level shit. The lads who went up there pretty much deserved that, they were singing all through the first half hour when I was still convinced we'd ship three. YEEEEEEEEEEAHHH

actually I've changed my mind, we're gonna labour in front of goal then concede a second on the counter

Intense booing every time Villa get possession, we must've bought more fans than I thought We do look the stronger team, if we don't concede any more freak goals where Davies ends up on the floor for reasons nobody understands I'd say we're still favourites over two legs

I gotta conspiracy for you - that sentence doesn't make any **** sense

centrocampista is the greatest word

It's just occurred to me that "ore" beng Italian for hours is the reason I'm getting loads of links for reclaiming metal waste and mining technology at the bottom of the screen

nevermind

saved penalties going to training

can't wait for Guzan's thrilling Twitter update about this

I think Shorey's haircut is some kind of tribute to the rhythm section of the Smiths Villa's competent pre-season is kind of at odds with the no-transfer horror on the domestic front If we get decent cup runs I'll be tempted to actually travel to them if it involves watching Brad Jnr and Mark Albrighton running things
