Match Thread - DO NOT TALK ABOUT STREAMS IN THIS THREAD

Yeah, Smith was mentioned as a Villa fan last week actually for the first time on Sky I think. Previously they'd say 'Alan Smith - he's a big Villa.. sorry Blues fan' or something along those lines.

It's about time Blues ran out of luck (re: disallowed goal) after that match v Chelsea.

[AshVilla]

wonder how many knuckledraggers will pitch invade in the 2nd half place your bets now

I don't agree, I think Collins is playing badly in part because he is playing alongside someone who has been rubbish all season.

Not at all. Collins is contributing to this and its not just Dunne's fault.

Yes Dunne has been poor but Collins has also been very average. He got outmuscled by Jerome for that penalty. He should never be outmuscled by someone that small.

[jonno_2004]

There seems to be a fair few pundits who are Villa fans/aficionados too.

[MonsXI]

I'd take Bannan off and put Delfouneso on and just hope dumb and dumber don't **** up again at the back.

[RMB]

Didn't hear properly but were they slagging Gabby off in the HT talk just? He has held the ball up put a couple of good crosses in and scored a good goal with a good finish.

[Maradona10]

We'll concede again i have no doubt about that with the chuckle brothers at the back.

[AshVilla]

would love to see him commentate on a baggies match

Didn't I just say Collins is playing badly???????

Collins got pushed not out muscled and was trying to mop up a **** up from Dunne at the time who then followed up and gave away the penalty.

I think Collins beside CC would be a totally different player. Dunne is ridiculously poor at the moment. He needs to regain last seasons form asap. Mind you, he has always been prone to the odd error even when playing well.

[AVFC-Prideofbrum]

What's been biased?

Let's be honest, they had a goal disallowed which should of been a goal and we scored one that was borderline.

I'm thankful for that piece of luck, some of which we ain't had all season and yet seemed to get a lot in previous years!

CC is on the bench but he isnt fit.. i just hope he starts for liverpool game.

[C4rvillan]

Mistakes are costing us big time. Let's hope there aren't any more second half and they give us a gift of a goal.

[Maradona10]

I'd say the game is bypassing everyone as Birmingham seem intent on hoofing it, lets get a corner or a free kick.

[The_Rev]

Ridgewell was clearly standing in an offside position when the shot came in. I cant see how we were "lucky" that the linesman put his flag up when the shot came in (and the flag did go up before the ball made it through) and if the pigdogs want to argue about it then perhaps they should stop their players standing two yards offside when they are attacking?

[R.I.C.O.]

Come on lads, lets play the way we can!!! I hope Dunne and Collins got the hairdryer treatment, they are the weak link at the moment

[OutByEaster?]

I think Dunne has been the better of the two in that half.

I can't believe they've had a go at Gabby at half time on the TV, he's been the best player on the field.

[villatillidie1980]

Need to settle quickly, can't let them get the bit between their teeth. UTV

thank god for gabby, look ok going forward but my god we are shit at the back.

dunne and collins are making their play last season look like a one off- they have reverted to what a lot of people thought they were like when we signed them- slow, clumsy, error prone etc. i got a theory that cuellar covered for a lot of their mistakes when he was at right back last season, there was certainly many times when carlos was there with a great covering tackle or clearence off the line.

luke young and warnock aren't much better- no ability on the ball, out of position and clumsy tackles.

if they keep playing like this none of them will be here next season
