It's a farce England didn't get it.

I was looking forward to going to World Cup over there.

But as they say money truly does talk. :evil:

Our form is horrendous and losing to that pile of shit makes things ten times worse.

Lowest I've felt in a long time as a Villa fan. Utterly depressing.

Pathetic

Got a really bad feeling for this game, don't know why. I hope the lads and Houllier realise how big this game is.

PLEASE PLEASE WIN!!!

Gonna take a break from studying for my exams to watch the match, so if we lose I will be suicidal!

Actually found myself laughing in amazement at how good Barcelona were.

Possibly the first football match I've watched where ive sat there blurting out the "Oh My Gods".

Ha ha exactly the same here!

At times it was difficult watching were the ball was they passed it so quickly.

One of the best team performances I have ever seen. Outstanding. Words don't do it justice.

**** me this Barcelona team is ridiculous!

Seriously they are just making fun of Real. Unbelievable stuff.

The only players who had an OK game today were Clark, Friedel and the subs.

Everyone else was dire and especially our defense. Special marks to Luke Young and James Collins who managed to be even worse than the others.

This season can't end fast enough!

Any changes?

Another Collins mistake, combined with Luke Young this time. Utter, utter disgrace.

To be fair, Collins made one earlier when Rosicky got in but that was just Luke Young's fault the goal.

Arsharvin didn't even go to the ball, Collins was attacking it, Young ran 15 yards to just get in his way.

I saw it exactly the other way. Collins goes out of position to attack way too many balls and leaves huge gaps behind him.

James Collins doesn't have any positional sense whatsoever. The worst centre back we've got.

We'll be lucky not lose by five goals.

New series of Peep Show started last Friday and it didn't disappoint.

Great show, one of my absolute favorites.

20 pounds to VT if we don't finish in the top half this season.

When we get players fit and a couple of new signings in January we'll go on a run. Probably finish somewhere between 6th - 10th, hard to tell because the league is so close this year.

Yeah sure it wasn't a good performance but what can you expect when you got to Blackburn without 10 first team players?

I'm not too worried about the future because when we get more players fit and maybe 1-2 new players in January things will start to go our way.

Hogg seemed much more composed today compared to the United game where he was obviously a bit nervous. He played simple passes and got stuck in and did a good job IMO.

Ireland for me is trying too much fancy stuff and he jumps out of headers and challenges. Doubt he'll ever make it here but I would give more time to settle.

Gabby was a worry for me today. Looked disinterested and lazy which is very unlike him. Probably not fully fit but still not the player we're used to seeing.

Ok we've waited long enough, are you going to tell us about this Delap and his throws?!

Well the media are starting to take a bit of notice of our youngsters.

According to the Daily Mail Barry Bannan ran the show against Man Utd.

This "throw in" that you mention does he do it during a game of football? How so?

To my knowledge it's strictly forbidden to use your hands in this sport. He mustn't use his hands. He simply mustn't.

He was obviously nervous but he did a good job. He can be very proud of himself.

Bannan in a midfield 3 with a holding player to watch his ass like Gattuso did for Pirlo. He will be our Pirlo.

Attempted some LOVELY through balls today.

That through ball for Downing in the first half between the full back and center back was simply world class.

Don't forget Vidic. He should have had a second for celebrating with the crowd

didn't he get one for that? Was he booked before then?

If he didn't get booked and considering that Young did then that again proves what a bent ref we had out there today

That is **** disgusting. So that's 3 possible red cards for United?!

My emotions are so mixed that I don't even know my own name anymore.

Brilliant performance from the lads but typical United comeback.

Downing MOTM. Was simply brilliant today. Bannan and Albrighton were also very good.

The future is certainly bright at Villa Park.

Warnock played him onside I think. Piss poor defending.

He had a good game yesterday IMO and taking in to account it was his first PL start, then he did fantastically.

He was unlucky with both headers and maybe looked a bit nervous when he got that chance in the second half. He showed he's not afraid to take people on and also surprisingly good hold up play.

Carew's injury might be a blessing in disguise?

Positives:

We didn't concede.

Ciaran Clark was by far the biggest positive. Looked very composed on the ball, played things simple and looks a real player.

Negatives:

Non-existant attack.

Reo-Coker's low IQ.

Ashley Young trying way to much.

James Collins and his long balls. And his pointless runs forward.

No Carlos Cuellar.

Sidwell.

Dunne having his moment of madness as per usual.
