Pilko

Sterry is the only name I don't vaguely recognise from that team tbf.

Aye, I was a bit annoyed when people started slating Pardew after Benteke scored the pen, that was just about the last thing today you could pin on him. There was always going to be a bit of impetus and pressure from Villa at the start of the half, especially with Agbonlahor's pace and Weimann's energy entering the fray (and the completely anonymous Bent going off anarl), we just had to weather it and we didn't. Mind you, that doesn't excuse the negative subs etc from Pardew once Villa did get that impetus and that belief that suddenly they could get summat. Not at all, he made the wrong call with them. It was an individual mistake that changed the game, though. That needs to be remembered. it was the reaction to said mistake and what came afterwards that has got so many people's knickers (rightly) in a twist, for sure.

That was the sort of bread and butter goal you'd expect him to get all the time when he's fully on form. Delighted for him.

Excellent. Reading's game in hand is Chelsea tomorrow night, not exactly a game in hand. QPR won away at Chelsea you muppet.

He made a naive mistake, now let's see that he learns from it and doesn't make it again. That was the thing I detested most of all about Simpson. Then again, look at the manager. His record of making the same mistake twice doesn't bode well.

Absolutely dire. Well done to Pards for planning to drop him, but way to negate it by playing this joker for 90 minutes.

Gutierrez was absolutely fucking garbage today. How come when he was dropped he then came in for 90 minutes? You'd think if he only got in cos of an injury and then played like a fucking twat again, he'd be subbed, but no. His ball retention today was worse than Smith, Obertan, Amdy Faye and Paul Huntington rolled into one ffs.

Krul 8 Debuchy 5.5 Taylor 5 Coloccini 7 Santon 7 Perch 7 Cabaye 7.5 Gutierrez 3 Sissoko 8 Gouffran 6.5 Cisse 7 Shola 5 Anita 6 Yanga-Mbwia 6

THANK FUCK FOR THAT.

Can understand the logic not disrupting the CB pairing mid-game and just sitting him in front of the defence, actually. Just wasn't Sissoko who should have went off, was clearly Jonas.

Where the fuck did five minutes come from!?

Mike Dean has always been a massive, massive cunt. No change there, then.

Looked like he won the ball there to me?

Ditto me.

90 minutes for Jonas, fucking laughable.

Anita is correct but Jonas should have gone off.

Christ, heart attack number twelve in the last half an hour.

Gutierrez has been absolutely garbage, please take him off

Shola for Perch, straight before a set piece THIS WILL NOT END WELL.

The referee is fast losing control of this game like. Prick.

What does Brian Little constantly find so funny?

Jesus fucking Christ man, I can't handle this.

This is fucking horrible. FWIW if they get to 2-2, we will lose the game.
