Don't really agree with playing Ozil and Cazorla in this match. Too soft in the middle.

Arsenal/A.Madrid double (90mins) is an enhanced 10/3 on Betfair.

good goal though

...out there.

The quality of technique out there can't sustain the tempo they're playing at out there.

Swansea should be assured of three points by now.

Liverpool have been pap.

Easy to make Pardew look bad if you cherry-pick such a small sample size as 2 seasons.

Siggy set himself there so well. Shame about the finish.

McLeish!

Sure to wrinkle Carver's over-wrinkled brow.

It is a thing which is good in so far as that we have an overflattering of defenders which play in the centre of the defensive unit.

Get in!

Crazy the difference between fan opinion and reporting. At what point is football reporting on our lucrative league crossing the threshold into propaganda?

North-east hotbed ftw.

Does Lukaku look like scoring?

Carver is horrific don't get me wrong, but the squad is absolutely noxious at this point. The footblal board is a bit of a broken record player I know, but I think this squad would be relegated in a Premier League from 4 or so years ago.

Need a Lukaku goal to keep my accy alive. Hopefully he can escape Willo's back pocket somehow.

Ridiculously daft though. Could have smacked the back of his head on a tabletop on the way down. Both so thick.

Might be having a Love Actually moment. The last one was "I want to take", the one after is "for dinner and a movie".

You'd think Villa would be okay from here on in anyway, but didn't realise the goal difference swing from today's result until just now. Ouch.

Kevin Phillips for manager.
