As far as the "straight at him" nonsense goes, isn't that good positioning on his part?

Ashley Williams - Good player, but he's such a prick Hated the way Emerson Boyce reacted when Haidara was fouled by Callum Whatshisface Jack Wilshere - Whinging like a baby in the 4-4 Andy Carroll - The dive when he came back here. Unacceptable.

For some reason I can see this game being really cagey and scrappy. A win will really settle my nerves as far as relegation goes. I'm pretty conservative when it comes to the teams in the PL so Villa getting relegated isn't something I want to see but their owner hasn't given a fuck for years. The new teams coming up have been really pushing the limits of what they can do and tbh have made things a lot more interesting. It's Villa's time now. You can't expect to just make up the numbers for this long.

Fucking hell Swansea are so lucky. Bielsa ffs. :'(

Lamps was good last time he was on it. Slotted in real well with practically no experience. He's articulate and likable. He's also one of my favorite players ever. Though, I did like Bellamy speaking so fondly of SBR last week.

The save from the corner in the Bournemouth game was defintily not hit straight at him. The guy won us the points that game and allowed us compete in the one yesterday. Can't believe people are putting a negitive spin on this.

Rewatched the last 20 minutes(available for replay on NBC) and saw that his pressuring of their defenders directly led to the first Ayoze chance. Mitro pressured, the defender kicked it right to Colo who played that beautiful pass to Ayoze. He offers so much more than Cisse. He needs to start.

great performances in recent weeks. I like that he's vocal and gives a shit. Don't care about that other stuff, it's in the past.

Right. There was a moment I think before we scored the winner where Kane outmuscled him on the half way line and took the ball up the pitch. Colback stayed with him but couldn't do anything because he was on a yellow. That would have been the moment to get a yellow, not the one he got in the first half.

I can respect it. He knows he doesn't have the resources to beat them so he plays to the strengths of the team. If they tried to play, they'd be relegated.

Think that was at home, no?

Fulham 07 maybe?

I did say we could get something.

Yes!!!!

Just no fight from us today. Everything we do is so passive.

Did we make any changes?

It's the only thing we can do tbh. They have way more energy than us.

We can get something from this boys. Spurs have drawed quite a few games this season.

Not a single attacking piece on McClaren's board there.

Better from us.

Wtf was that from Alli?

Theyre just much better than us.

Great tackle by Cabaye

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't his crosses also delayed because he was a right footed player playing on the left wing. If he was played on the right, it'd be easier to get a first time cross in. Always felt it was Duff who messed our winger's chances up. N'Zogbia had to go to left back because of him.

Thanks, man. Did a few searches and found out Naldo did it in the Bundesliga and Hierro may have done it in La Liga(if he was playing at CB that day)
