that was 1 dire 1/2 of football tbh with only real chance at the end

am surprised only 2 of us have gone for Shumacher, am sure he will be picking up good points soon and lift me off the bottom just need hrt to get within 107% too

yeah his tacs for 7-8 rounds where good, martinez showed class in the rest of the fight when he needed to though

the norm happened to macklin doing well then stopped at end of 11th, by norm i meen martinez did same last fight

I still find scrubs funny , kinda simpson type humor but with actors

Just watched The Goon, good sports film based on a true story, is not the normal run of the mill sports film it is brutal in parts well worth the watch

Was actually a spell of 11 games and I believe we won 8, drew 3. (or at very worst, won 7, drew 4) Also then used for 4 games during the 09-10 season and we won all 4. so works out in 17 games he has played the lone striker we won 12-13 drew 3-4 lost none ? So whatever he does has a lone striker must seem to work for us cos that is some record. AM allso not saying i prefer him to bent as the lone striker either but is some record and am not worried he cant carry the line on his own

talk about gabby and not being able to play the lone striker puzzles me, does every1 forget when carew was injured and gabby played the lone striker for 6 games? Guess what we won all 6, so he must do something right for the team cos now thats 7 times he has been lone striker and we have won them all

cant see villa wanting to get rid of checks alltogether am sure they will be worked into new kit after all they dun want to fork out for another new flag i bet

just came on the comentary i am listening too that there was a fight in the tunnel at 1/2 time between players 1-10 he is involved

If he was in a Villa shirt i would refuse to go and pay the rasist clearings in the woods wages. but scousers being scousers is all ok with them as long as he plays for them

No chance, you dont want 2 attackers taking the same space, bent would have dragged his marker with him, he seen robbies run and stopped his, watch on replay

so you didnt see Gardner go down with cramp then ?

looks like a player who when he don`t have to think he scores great goals, when he has to think like the one on one at chelsea he aint so good, he needs to work on that

Guzan, looked solid, saved a pen maybe shouldn`t have been running out on the dunne backpass 6 Warnock, some silly misstakes but he never hides away so i give him credit for that 5 Dunne, had a good game until mistake 6 Hutton, thought he had a good game defensively and attacking 7 Petrov, solid,dependable, kept the ball and great pass for first goal 7 Clark, done the easy things well when in midfield, Great solo goal 8 Ireland, he has a great engine that i didnt know he had, he was box to box nipping in for some good nicks, and when he nicks it it aint aimless it is towards one of our players 7 Albrighton, Good finish for his goal shoulda done better with volly chance, seemed to hide a bit second half 7 Heskey, I don`t blame him for a poor display really, he seems to be the scapegoat playing in possistions wherever mcleash thinks, Mcleash seems to think Heskey is better than he really is (if you get what i meen) 5 Bent, not much service but would like to see more movement from him too 5 Agbonglaor, came on and made a difference second half, they where frightened of him and rightly so, great goal 7 Gardner, got 15 mins and allmost produced a goal 6 Bannan, got 10 mins and didnt get much of the ball 5

was thinking along same lines, to me it shows we are taking this game and the fa cup serious. as much as i dislike Mcleash he is in a lose lose with team selection. play strong team and we see wft is he doing ? play a weakened team with kids etc it woulda been wtf why aint we taking this serious

think this is a game when we need heskey chasing down that keeper backpass, he seems to allways do it, where gabby nore bent dont. Think Swansea keeper had 10% of the swansea possesion

Really think we need to have an english anther as our song, after all we have produced more England internationals than any other team Jerusalem is about has English as it gets And did those feet in ancient time. Walk upon England's mountains green: And was the holy Lamb of God, On England's pleasant pastures seen! And did the Countenance Divine, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here, Among these dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my Bow of burning gold; Bring me my Arrows of desire: Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my Chariot of fire! I will not cease from Mental Fight, Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem, In England's green & pleasant Land edit:i am drunk though btw and feeling patriotic having a quiet new year :0

fat frank on bench

can`t remember a game v arsenal in recent years where we have had 57% possession and them just 43%, work to be done on set pieces but this is how we want Villa playing, one of huttons best games for us apart from sending off, dunne though was class

agree with alot of people on here I allso thought hutton was having a great game last night.

from bbc site Aston Villa 0-1 Arsenal David Ornstein's HT snapshot: "An opening 45 minutes completely dominated by Villa ends with Arsenal taking a lead into the break. It's a funny old game. Plenty of chances for the hosts but this is why they've failed to score in four of their past five games. No cutting edge. Unlike Arsenal and that man Robin van Persie."

more like it tbh, even if we lose this at least we are having a go, more of the same second half plz

Gardener been recalled from loan spell. hope he gets some game time then

lol indeed but couldnt you tell it was going to happen ?
