Did he just toe-punt it down the middle ?

Good game this.

Another corner .

I dunno. Think you could give him the benefit of the doubt - say it was clumsy rather than intentional. Fellaini in a nutshell .

Fellaini .

Stupid decision from Yanga to close down didn't help mind That's the point - the Everton players didn't even have to make a decision because they were shown the way.

The scary thing is that Everton's players didn't really have to do anything clever to score, from the moment they cleared the ball.

Jeeesus. Your corners are terrifying.

Brilliant quick-thinking there from Yaya.

Eto'o.

they have more than 20 players out on loan, it's ridiculous, lukaku may go out on loan next season, courtois has been on loan at atletico for 3 seasons now, Loaning all these players out is 1 clever way of getting around the homegrown rule which lukaku will be classed as of next season despite playing only 10 games at chelsea. It's obscene. 27 players on loan, including three to separate Prem clubs and no less than five different Championship clubs have Chelsea players playing for them. Around ten seems to be the norm for mos clubs - Liverpool have 14 and it looks like they might be the next-most.

Fuck them up (get into them).

You're assuming that Rooney will have his first remotely effective game at a tournament since Euro 2004. Hoping, not assuming.

Neymar dived no doubt about it. Ref basically got one right out of 3 Which from what i see in La Liga usually is an improvement I'm not going to say you're wrong, just check the foul on Neymar again. For me and swedish tv as well it's pretty stonewall. He comes across and Ramos clatters into his foot. Obviously he then throws himself and exaggerates but it's still a penalty. Still think penalty and red card is so harsh. I've not seen the incident, but if someone can find me a better definition of a dive than "throws himself and exaggerates" then I'd like to see it .

Liono shurely?

He's certainly been much better this year, but if he's our best option then it doesn't say a lot about our all-round quality.

Yeah, that's the standard procedure .

...and then they did a Portsmouth .

Championship might be tough next year too.

Just took a look at the remaining fixtures for the first time in ages...before today I'd long since given up on this season. Jeez, you guys have a rough run-in .

Why is the thread title not "Sundo"?

One thing that makes me smile about Villa is that everyone goes on about how young they are. Our team that pulled the game around today was younger than their team that started. We were preparing to bring on a striker if needed - Harry Kane (20). Their sub striker was Grant Holt .

...and they're got Plastic Bertrand on loan too. Bloody loans <mutter, mutter>.

Brummie's said it before - Vlaar holds the whole thing together. Most of the time. The rest of the defence is really not very good at all - although I like Bacuna I have a vague memory that he's primarily a midfielder.

And, of course, Alonso is on loan too . I really, really hate that sides in the Premier League can loan so many players - and that they can loan any from other Prem teams. Along with the fact that CL teams get a second chance in the Europa, I think they are the most glaring "easily-fixed" problems with the game.
