It's hard to get angry at Villa anymore. It's just becoming funny. Was that Cissokho tripping over during a stepover?

Lambert about to pull his boots on. Might aswell. I dont think an extra man (or 6) would make a difference though.

That yellow for Ramires is bizarre. Delph tripped over the ball. The ref is that crooked even he's not sure what he's doing anymore.

I'd rather have Gabby trying and failing comically than Benteke doing his best impression of a living statue.

Mike Carlson said it best before the game. The Pats are a smart, scheming team who will outthink their opposition. The Seahawks do the simple things so well it's hard to stop them. They could tell you what they're gonna do next and you'd still have trouble stopping it. Seahawks got too smart for themselves and it bit them hard. Can't believe that call. Absolutely heartbreaking. Not a fan of the Pats in anyway, but you can't deny their success, and as someone (Carlson again?) said, Brady has played a variety of styles. Not fully sure of him 100% being the GOAT, but it's definitely worth discussing. Congratulations Pats. See you next year.

Please tell me you're joking.

I don't think Lambert can win in that respect. If he came out and publicly slammed the team, questioned their professionalism and ability I think there'd be far more flak to take.. Not sure what he can say in pressers tbh.

Got himself into? You mean a fantastic opportunity? All he has to do is show some glimpses of brilliance every now and then and stand out from the rest of the squad (which isn't gonna be hard) and he will get a move somewhere else to a team with some ambition.

Did Okore just charge 15 yards out of position to miss a tackle then jog back through treacle?

The ball was there to be won. It was a 50/50. Vorm didn't have to go to ground to win it, he could've just put his foot through it.

I'm not sure how legal this is, but we might be able to write it into his next contract; for every 5 seconds Aston Villa have possession of the ball and Benteke is not actively looking for space to receive the ball or create space for other players to use, he will be docked £1,000 off his weekly wage. That'll either get his arse into gear or make us a healthy profit. Could pay a few players wages every week. A nice one just for the fans, every time Benteke throws his arms up in disbelief or frustration at anything, the Tango man will issue him one slap in the next break in play.

What's the point in having a legal system and a system for the way punishments are handled if the public are going to carry out their own form of "justice". I in no way condone what he's been judged to have done. But to force him out of his profession in this way is embarrassing. If he were a sales assistant at Top Shop, would they receive the same "sanctions" and threats? Why should it be different because he's a footballer? And where does this "precedent" leave us? If I was to lose my driving licence for whatever reason, after my suspension was served, could I be facing an angry mob outside my house attempting to prevent me from using a car?

Big chance for Benteke. I wonder who he's gonna blame for that one.

If thats not a freekick then surely it's a yellow for diving? Refs. I can't figure out how they apply the rules.

Damn. Who came off for Gresford? Missed his grand entrance.

Could help. With him giving the ball away at every opportunity, Palace wouldn't be defending as deep. You tactical mastermind!

New proposal for the FA: When games are particularly boring, instead of playing +2 minutes, they can play -2 minutes.

Catch 22. The attackers are frustrated by lack of service, the midfielders are frustrated by lack of movement.

Got 4th in my first season. Beat Schalke in CL qualifier. Found some great potential stars for the future. Delph, Cleverly and Sanchez have been an absolute unit. Oh, and just smashed our transfer record on Gabriel Barbosa for £24mil. Just gotta consolidate in the CL places this upcoming season or we could be in a bit of financial bother.

I thought there'd be a bit more outrage about Pantilimon drop kicking Benteke in the stomach with no eyes for the ball in a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Tekkers too busy complaining. About something.

"I'm gonna say nothing for the moment" Best idea you've ever had Trevor. Bugger off.

I'm having visions of it now.. Ashley Young hat trick. And after the 3rd (which was a penalty he dived to win) he struts over to the Holte, kisses his badge and moons the crowd to show a tattoo that says "**** YOU". Not only does he not get a yellow for this, but the Holte End receives a yellow for provoking him.

Happy days for WBA. Having our worst era in decades and they still struggle to win against 10 men. Bye Richardson.

Isn't that the geeza that was trying to strangle CNZ with his own shirt earlier? He should be off by now, shirley?
