Simpson Santon Coloccini/Perch R.Taylor. That's fucking ugly. Suppose Simpson and Santon could be switched without making much difference to the overall picture?

Honestly don't see what this shithouse has done to deserve getting a shirt tomorrow. He's got no future at the club and is fucking useless. Why not play Gosling or Abeid and give ourselves a chance? One thing that rankles with Pardew is that he always tends to give the shite a run out as opposed to developing our younger players whenever there are a few gaps in the squad. Play the young lads ffs.

Don't worry, Lerner is rapidly turning us into Everton. I'm so utterly gutted about football nowadays. I hate it. I hate what we're being turned into. I'm a rational enough bloke, and have seen some really disastrous managers at our place - Billy McNeill who relegated us AND Man City in the same season, Graham Turner who destroyed the remnants of a European Cup winning side, Jo Venglos who was 10 years too early for English football, the horrible shitbag O'Leary - but this current bloke is the only one who has made me feel like I never want to go to one of our games again. It's so utterly, utterly terrible. If you asked most Villa fans, they'd use the word "embarassing" Wow. Is it that bad?

Especially considering one of them was already injured before the transfer window closed, with an injury that has been severe enough to see him miss four months of the season. We could do with Tiote back too to protect Perch and Simpson too. Thankfully the fixture list has been relatively kind and we're not facing an Aguero, Rooney, van Persie etc imminently as they would rip them apart. We'll still have keep the ball better and protect them but that's part of the game.

It's a situation entirely of our own making. Going into a season with only 3 CHs is asking for bother. We should have bought in the summer but chose not to, for whatever reason. Now all 3 are out and we've got no-one else to blame but ourselves. No point whinging about it, just got to get on with it. Injuries are part and parcel of the game and it shows our lack of cover. Needs to be rectified asap.

Reckless tackle and fully deserved the red. Winning the ball is neither here nor there and he could have snapped his leg. Awful stuff.

Dalglish you're an absolute cunt. "Not his fault that someone's standing there". Fucking unbelievable. He cleans him out and it's Dembele's fault for being there. Unreal.

Reina should have gathered that too. Bad keeping.

Pick that twat out you scouse cunts.

Whoever is the best athlete and is fit should play. Not playing Dennis Bergkamp here - just need some who can outmuscle opposing strikers and whack the ball away [if Samba can play up front, then Sherla can play at the back. ] Can you imagine Shola trying to play the offside trap in a flat back 4? Fucker was born offside.

Should have gone don and stayed down. Force the ref to stop the game like he did every time a Chelsea player went down. Jogging the 30 yards to the half way line might have just f***ed it even more. probably just didn't think it was as bad as it was. A ruptured Achilles? Bet it stung a bit like. Not blaming him as he wanted to keep the game going as we were pushing for an equaliser but he may have made it worse.

Good idea Mick. The programmes were going like hot cakes and the queues were ridiculous. Hope Scottish Mag got one...

He's been great this season and losing him is a big blow and there's no way of spinning it any other way. We started the season with only 3 CHs and lost Williamson early and he's still out. We've been walking a tightrope since then and we fell off the fucker today. It showed the glaring gaps in our squad that needed filling in the summer but weren't. No idea what's happened to Kadar but we need someone play there for the next couple of weeks. Perch did ok(ish) bearing in mind he was up against Drogba but we need bodies through the door in January.

We definitely had chances and that's also encouraging. Always felt that their first goal was coming whereas our chances were a bit more sparse.

Really, really coming on and developing as a keeper. Didn't put a single foot wrong today at all and saved us from getting a proper pasting. Worried about the amount of times we got exposed, particularly down our left. Taylor had zero protection in front of him and that ball for Sturridge was there for them every time. We couldn't have really complained had we been 3 or 4 down at half time.

Aye, I'll take a snap of it all.

No need for donations chaps, honestly. I'll get something in town and lay it before the game. It won't be much but it'll be from all of us.

Do it I'll throw in for that, great idea. Don't be daft. I'll get something nice and put it with the rest of the tributes near the reception.

They gave him the contract. They're terminating it. They're coughing up to honour it. Can't see the problem tbh.

Toying with the idea of putting a wreath down on behalf of N-O. Thoughts?

When is Gerrard back?

Not sure how much more PAOK have got left in the tank. They look fucked.

Harsh pen. Hit his chest/gut first and rolled across brushing his arm. Genuinely don't think he meant to handle it.
