Absolutely superb performance. When Drogba scored such a soft goal not long after a stone wall penalty was turned down, I was convinced it was not going to be our day. But the lads didn't let their heads drop and had the better of Chelsea in every area of the pitch. The two centre halves were immense, Warnock really is a superb fullback and Gabby shown just how much he has improved this season, all his performance lacked was a goal. Two convincing wins against the Sky 4 now, not many teams will be able to say that this season!

The climate we are in at the moment has actually benefited me, I have more work to do and am getting paid more, a pay rise came at the perfect time for me. Initially I was just about scraping by each month, now I am living comfortably and fingers crossed my wage will increase further in the not too distant future.

Finally managed to do this, and I have to say I am very impressed with the realism of it. The only problem I am having now is downloading it on the game. I have completed the process online and saved it, and my gameface is showing on my profile on the EA Football World website. However when I select download game face on FIFA, it says there isn't one available to download, when there clearly should be. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Anyone else having issues with the game face generator? I have uploaded two pics very similar to the examples they have given on the website but I keep getting an error message saying it cannot generate and to re adjust the marker placement on my photos. I can't possibly align them any more accurately than I already have. I've been trying for about an hour now, I guess I just don't have the face for FIFA

I'd have taken a point before the game and on the balance of play a draw was a fair result. However I can't help but feel we missed opportunities to further increase our lead, at times in the first half and early in the 2nd they were there for the taking. Then they started to get into the game a bit more and create a few chances and their goal became inevitable. Richard Dunne was superb at the back. Laursen esque performance. Warnock played well and looks like a very good signing. I think people are being a bit harsh on Ash, he skinned their full back a few times and whipped in some tasty balls, we have seen him play a lot better, we have also seen him play a lot worse. I thought Barry was very average today, struggled to get involved and control the midfield as he would have liked, Petrov was the best midfielder on the pitch today.

5 mins added on, WHAT!

1-1 Bellamy Bollocks

37k attendance, not bad for a Monday night gave that's on TV.

De Jong off. Ireland on. Not what we wanted, hopfully we can contain him.

Ireland is the only one of those that really worries me. He could come on and change the game. The others I am confident we can deal with.

Half time. Nice and solid, worthy of our lead. I'd like another goal to settle the nerves a bit, but our performance in this 4-4-2 formation has been surprisingly very encouraging. Hopefully we can continue this in the 2nd half and come away with 3 points!

Ash is causing them some problems. Had the beating of their fullback on numerous occasions tonight.

Beat Barry in the air for the goal

Richard Dunne!!!!!!!

With the form Gabby's in I very much doubt MON is going to stick him out wide. They are weak at the back, but their midfield, on paper, is far superior to ours. I have gone from confident of victory, to dreading the game. I was sure we would go 4-5-1 today. As we have failed to do so I can see us getting totally dominated in midfield. Although I would love nothing more than to be wrong obviously.... COME ON VILLA!!

It's from the live chat feed on the OS. VILLA: Friedel; Cuellar, Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Milner, Sidwell, Petrov, Young, Carew, Agbonlahor. Subs: Delph, Heskey, Reo-Coker, Shorey, Guzan, Beye, Gardne

Gutted I can't make this game, really wanted to be there. I'm confident of a result today, I think they will be favourites but I can see us surprising a few people. Who takes penalties for City?

Just played SHA away in manager mode, the commentary to introduce the game Andy Gray - The first Villa game I saw was a derby. Villa won 2-1. Martin Tyler - You must hope for the same score today... Andy Gray - I hope!

I was just on a good run of 4 straight wins, then went and got beat 4-1 away to Sunderland. Kenwyn Jones destroyed me :|

Just had a very frustrating game with Arsenal. I went 1-0 up in the 2nd minute with Gabby getting on the end of a cross from Milner. I went on to totally dominate the game, I had lots of chances with Gabby hitting the post twice and Sidwell missing an absolute sitter. Arsenal then hit me on the counter attack in stoppage time which results in Friedel conceding a penalty and seeing red. Van Persie buries the pen so a game I could have easily won 4-0 ended up 1-1.

You need to get the live update. Sadly you have to pay for it this year, although it is only £3.99 for the Prem.

He is the the Villa squad with the downloaded update.

I didn't even notice that, which is probably why I had such a random starting XI

When you download the first update from live season Villa's starting XI is very strange. Guzan in goal, Bouma LB, Gabby left wing, Carew right wing, Milner the lone striker and Ash on the bench.
