I might need a calculator to keep up. "There's only one Kevin Keegan" being ironically sung by the Villa fans.

6 second half goals at Manure, 4 today and even Carew scores a hat trick.

4-1.

Carr handball. Carew for the hat trick.

Will there be a game like Leicester away in 1992 where we have to win to stay up? It could happen! Penalty to Villa.

Owen side netting.

Better than Smith unquestionably. At least Mike Ashley is smiling but who knows why.

First attempt of the 2nd half - and miles wide in the 82nd minute.

Wonder when the rest of the board will wake up to it? Did you have us down to get something from this game? People are still expecting us to tank a quality side like Vila away it seems. Being ahead 1-0 and deservedly so at half time to being completely destroyed in an embarrassing way in the second is what it's about. I'm sorry for entering a stating the obvious competition, but he scores goals. About 30 since Smith got his last one. 41 today actually - just over a full league season.

We have to rely on others as we can't win a game for ourselves.

Which is where we might feasibly be next season.

No excuses today - not that I expect Keegan to make them. He'll know we are in grave trouble now although I'm not sure he is able to do anything about it. We are devoid of just about everything positive I can think of.

And still no Viduka.....

All over now. We are in massive, massive trouble.

Great save by Harper, hanging on grimly now.

Villa nearly score again.

Owen's body language is all wrong - he looks miserable. I thought captains were supposed to lead by example.

Keegan has waited too long to make a sub - we need to do something before it's too late.

Only Milner seems to be doing anything at the minute. We look very one-paced and more likely to concede than equalise.

Nearly a 3rd.

We need a point here - to do that we need to score! Get Smith off!

Nowt from this one and with the 3 fixtures we've got coming up we are definitely going to be in relegation trouble.

Totally and completely outplayed so far. What kind of teamtalk was given?

Given's got a groin injury.
