17 seconds after the restart, shocking.

Good job, Lowton! Moron.

Here we go.

Baker stretchered off after that, let's hope he's not too badly injured.

Weimann finally dropped, too.

I am going to change my prediction to 3-9

Add a '0' onto the back of Guzan's shirt and play him behind Benteke.

I hope I am wrong, but I think we're going to take an absolute hiding tonight. I'm talking a Christmas-at-Stamford-Bridge level hiding.

"Red Bull Aston Villa are the first team out onto the pitch here at Red Bull Stadium, wearing their traditional red and white kit..."

Brave of him to come out and say it! I was surprised at the following quote from the Guardian article, though:

"In England, Italy and Germany being a homosexual is no big thing, at least not in the dressing room"

The Mirror are reporting the transfer request story now, too - they actually published theirs a few minutes before Kendrick: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-norwichs-2998860?

Edit: The Telegraph, also: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/norwich-city/10556729/Wes-Hoolahan-keen-to-join-former-manager-Paul-Lambert-at-Aston-Villa-after-handing-in-transfer-request.html

So I guess he'll have to put a request in or he's going nowhere.

Well he hasn't put a transfer request in, so that story is bollocks: https://twitter.com/MickDennisReal/status/420673075005652992

Yes but he's 31 and we will get no sell-on fee so he's not worth much more than 750k really.

He's under contract for another 18 months - he's worth whatever Norwich say he is worth, unfortunately for us.

Gordon Cowans as player-manager.

  Personally i'd have Hoddle every time, but anyone who can coach players properly would do me.

Nah, can't have that - he'd be asking Bowery what he did wrong in a past life.

There hasn't been a bid, and Hoolahan missed today's game through injury.

Well when your boss tells you that something isn't particularly important, as an employee, you're not really inclined to give much of a shit are you. Brilliant from Lambert all round over the last couple of days.

Lambert is like one of those kids toys, pull a string and milksop excuses pour out of his moron mouth.

The worst part is that this loss isn't even surprising.

4 minutes? Quick, get Bowery on.

We don't deserve anything from this game. If it finishes 2-1, Sheffield United fully earned their win. We're abysmal, tactically inept.

Aahahaha, god. I can't even... 

Helenius! Our lord and saviour.

Ideas?

Weimann's Greggs loyalty card.

Is Steer really any better than Siegrist?
