AVFC_Hitz Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Gentle comedy on Clark's wiki page. On 27 November 2010, Clark scored his first 2 goals for the club in a 4-2 defeat against Arsenal. He scored a 91st minute equaliser against Chelsea scum on 2nd January, which almost made John Terry cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Much better effort from the side. That's a bigger bonus than the bonus point, I think. Let's hope we can build on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claret75 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Sky gave MOTM to Brad - and he conceded three. It's a funny old game... I gave it Friedel as well, although they all played their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Much much better. Great point. Heskey or Friedel MOTM, just about went for Friedel. Let's hope this is te turning point not a one off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevMur Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 So happy for Albrighton, putting in a peach of a cross for Clark. Marc was badly at fault for Terry's goal and that would have left him feeling like shit. And Marc nearly got the winner. It is indeed a funny old game.

Mantis Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'm so proud of the team. They all performed well and showed some real passion and fight. This will be a MASSIVE boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Gutted we lost a lead, ecstatic we salvaged a point. Best performance for weeks. Defence were great apart from last 20 when they gave Chelsea way too much space. Midfield faded badly second half. Gabby was poor second half and should have come off after an hour. Heskey fantastic, and my MotM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 crazy game our players are still stupid- they dont use their brains and give the ball away cheaply. but cant fault the effort not helped by the ref booking our players but not theirs. how essien didnt get at least a yellow i have no idea last minute equaliser should massively boost confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Great result, but if we hadn't of sat back and bottled it we would have been coming away with 3 points... Hard though, the ref had cancelled out everything we could do to close them down as any tackle from us was a booking. They had 18 bookings, two yellows, we had 12 for 7, says a lot really. Meant they had more freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I voted Clark MoTM - well taken goal and some fantastic challenges. I'm so happy - this is the first performance in ages where I've had some hope and belief because the players really worked for it today. We went to one of the toughest places to go to expecting a raping and we came out of it with our heads held high and a well earned point. I think that if people STILL can't see the difference Petrov makes to the team.. then there is no hope for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I wonder if the squad have had the 'now we have a manager' moment in the last few days a la Paul Ince in Houllier's first few months at Liverpool. Certainly a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokesy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 fantastic point.. dont know why we still sit back when we take the lead, so frustrating. Allbrighton made a very silly mistake for there 3rd but made up for it with another fantastic cross.. hes so good at doing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'm happy and I had forgot that feeling so cheers Villa. Hopefully this a turning point in the season . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Loved the all round effort today. If we play like that for the rest of the season we can stop all this relegation talk for sure. We bossed one of the biggest teams in the world at their house for 60 minutes and probably deserved more than what we got. It wasn't perfect but all of a sudden being an Aston Villa supporter doesn't seem so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy31 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Great display from the players, they didn't let there heads drop after Terry's late goal and showed the fighting spirit we have all be calling for. One thing that caught my attention was the Chelsea players reaction with the manager when they went 3-2 up and our players lack of reaction with the manager when Clark scored, it seems there is definatley a issue between the players and manager which needs to be resolved for everyone to move on.

o'lbs Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 well done frenchman????? whats all that about? we've not won for ages and today we've blagged a draw in the last minute against an out of form team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Great Result given our recent form Was nice to see Houllier play to this teams strength and we got a result because of it. Friedel- 9 was brilliant, kept us ahead with some great saves Clark-7.5 got skinned a few times as you would expect but crept in and got the equaliser Cuellar-8 Defended really well and didn't give the ball away as much as he used to Dunne-7 looked a bit more like the old dunne, well done and keep it up! Collins-5 Thought he had a pretty poor game Gabby-7 Ran and ran NRC- 7 see gabby Petrov- 9 MOTM thought he was absolutely brilliant, calm on the ball, showed how much we missed him Downing-7.5- tracked back really well and provided heskeys goal Young- 7 ran and looked dangerous, very good penalty aswell Heskey-9 Lead the line brilliantly Albrighton- 6.5, only gets this rating because he tends to give the ball away in stupid positions and it almost cost us today, luckily he set up the equaliser Houllier gets an 8 from me. I am not a fan of his but he finally got the team motivated and we looked a lot better for it. im not going to be fickle and say i love him because i don't. but today was encouraging.

the_eristic Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 My reaction: "asboufwth0apyphpyw45246grsfvt!~!!!" :^| Clark or Albrighton (for his determination to fix his mistake and actually doing so) MOTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
