My God Agbonlahor has disgusting pace. Oba is fast but he's just... faster. A lot faster.

I would not want to be a Villa fan tonight

Owen, Viduka, Ameobi, Oba, Barton, Beye, Enrique, and Gonzalez could all be injured for Sunday. Bassong suspended. That injury crisis that could completely fuck up our season we were all worried about? I think it's here now.

Fuck me, I was wondering when this would get pulled back up Expecting this to just about explode when we're back in the zone after this weekend.

For saying the stick they get is a little over the top at times (in my opinion). This place is a joke sometimes. Dean deserves everything he gets for today. f***ing embarrassing for him. Fine. I haven't hid from the fact that I've yet to see anything from it. when the bbc are questioning his decisions, then you know something is wrong with his performance OK! Point made, I get it. I wasn't as aware of the overall lacking quality of his performance as I am now. just watch the match if you can i'm sure the highlights won't show all of his decisions Thing is though, theyll have to be because they played such a pivotal part in the game. They'll need to be debated too. Is Match of the Day on tonight? 5 past 11. It better be Hansen and Shearer. No one gives a s*** what Mark Bright and Lee Dixon have to say on these types of things...yknow, football things. Would love Shearer to have a right go at him. Probably won't happen since he seems to bend over backward to be neutral with Newcastle matches.

Given his goalscoring record for the reserves, I imagine the potential to be a decent finisher is in there somewhere... With his physique, as long he's not completely hopeless he'll probably be Premiership playable at some point in his career.

That is a f***ing brilliant clearance from Sagna. Screw goals, they should just make that the goalplay of the month.

Before today they hadn't won between them for about 3 weeks! They'll do it when it matters.

Denilson scores utterly and completely against the run of play. I swear there's some kind of mystical force protecting the big 4

Maybe he's still being nursed back to fitness from the injury. That's crossed my mind, but he has been back for a couple of weeks at least now hasn't he? I've not heard of him even featuring for the reserves in that time. Your guess is as good as mine. Really should be getting matches for the reserves if nothing else.

Villa have hit the post three times already.

We're obviously hiding Ranger till the end of January to stop Man City from poaching him for 30m

Maybe he's still being nursed back to fitness from the injury. Not likely, but it's the best explanation other than "JFK just hates him"

A 10 inch cock. Racist!

I know he's a pretty shit footballer, but what has Ameobi got that he hasn't? A smooth first touch?

He's huge and strong. He can't seem to do anything else properly. But he's REALLY huge and REALLY strong. Should be coached to play the Ameobi role instead of Ameobi.

What would you give? After our s*** performance today? Would probably submit to voluntary castration if it meant we could play half as well as Villa are doing lately. Villa are outstanding, I have to admit. They're going to finish 4th this season. No contest. Maybe even a legitimate title challenge in the cards next year if they can keep their players together and spend their CL money wisely.

Villa absolutely all over Arsenal so far. Jesus, what I would give to have us playing like them.

First time I've ever found him promising. Looks to have bulked up a bit more. Could be coached to be better than Ameobi at what Ameobi was doing earlier this season imo.

This is the one time where I'll actually watch motd after we get beat, just to see what kind of a bollocking they give the ref.

Yeah, totally agree with that. But nah, shouting stuff at them at the ground and being a keyboard warrior, that'll learn them. i cant see how a video would have helped today though. the problem wasn't that mike dean didn't see it clearly, and if he didn't his assistant was about 10 yards away ffs. the problem was that mike dean didn't apply the rules of the game correctly. it wasn't a pen, the initial foul was outside the box (a foul that bassong stopped for for chirsts sake) and it wasn't a red. it was weaker than terry's red imo and he got that recinded. Dean was just brain-dead, the Almighty himself could not have helped him with the penalty decision today. Then again, with the benefit of a replay, maybe he would have noticed that the forward player was offside to begin with. Maybe he wouldn't have given the dodgy free kick that lead to the goal. Maybe he would have given Cattermole the red that he deserved. Maybe he would have given Carroll a second penalty. We'll never know, because he had to rely on his eyes, which apparently aren't worth s***.

yes you are. Fuck off.

Thing is the problem with refereeing right now isn't just limited to the Premiership. It's global. The game is just getting too fast-paced for refs to make accurate decisions consistently. I think they just have to say enough is enough at some point and allow video reviews for ruling goals offside and penalty calls. Needs to happen.

We are to Wigan what Spurs are to us.
