Hungover today I have to admit so good to slump on the settee and I think that we will see a win.
90 – looks all over now
81 – Bannan on for Petrov
79 – Villa come to life and threats at set piece and clark should have scored
72 – Very Open game now and Gardner comes on for an ineffectual Gabby
64 – RVP should have gone for a clear elbow on cuellar, 1-1 to the ref then
60 – we have gone totally, allowing Arsenal to walk through us. Clear pen by Bent and RVP sticks it away again, WHAT IS GOING ON
55 – what happened then, a mad few minutes and the defence a total joke to allow Walcott to run right in and Arse got lucky this time
52 – Clear penalty and dunne mistimes a challenge and a Penalty which RVP puts away easy but how is Dunne still on the pitch after already being booked ?
17:06 – Second half kicks off with no changes and fully expect us to seal it here. Arsenal have come out with more vigour as you would expect
Half Time – On the stroke of HT Bent from a break away from a Ireland pass knocks it in and we are very comfortable now. Bent likes Arsenal
42- Very comfortable in the lead with Arse posing little threat
32 – And from that corner a GOAL, first set piece one this season from a good Keane cross. the good away form continues once again
32 – We have a corner but doubt any threat but being this quiet and boring means we are happy at this
20 – to be honest nothing to say, Arse a little threat from Walcott but thats it
11 – Settled down, no real chances but some of the ball anyway, just got to test Fabianski at every chance
5 – Slow start and all Arse, good save from Given from a Vermalen pile driver
3 – Gabby left and Ireland right, what ?
16:03 – Kick Off
15:55 – From Richard at the Emirates
Mcleish on ESPN claims that Collins has a Calf injury, yeahhhhh
15.50 – Another away draw but the whole competition is looking wide open isn’t it. If a team from outside the so called big ones wins it, could be this year.
15:44 – Cup draw and we will play SUNDERLAND A (well could be …) what a possible game
15:17 – No word on why Collins is out could be off, who knows.
Marc tweeted this just
Gutted that I can’t play today! Got a slight thigh strain in training yesterday! #devostated! Will be watching as a true fan tho! #UTV
15:07
Villa: Given, Hutton, Cuellar, Dunne, Warnock, Ireland, Clark, Petrov, Agbonlahor, Keane, Bent.
Subs: Guzan, Heskey, Bannan, Weimann, Lichaj, Baker, Gardner.
so NO Collins and Albrighton on the bench, no wingers, lack of pace, do not like a team with no Albrighton at all. Against arsenal, I think width against their reserve full backs was vital.
15:06 – Jack Woodward
Ireland and Cuellar both start. Keane and Bent up front. Rest of team news to follow #avfc #avtv
15:05 – No team news yet but we are Number TEN in the draw in 35 minutes time
14:20 – As I typed below Matt Law a villa fan journo on the express tweeted some Arsenal news
Think henry, arteta and sagna all on a strong bench for arsenal today. Ox and RvP to start
14:15 – No real leaks about the team today so suspecting will be largely the one that played the second half against Wolves. However because of stupid TV we have the 5th round draw before the game as the draw will be on ITV who are currently showing the Sunderland game. Part of the beauty of winning cup games is the anticipation of whom you could draw and not know it already before you play your game. CRAZY
Aston Villa News 24/7
Villa should go for it theres more fight in league one teams in the cup than pl these days
Get in!!!!
Beeeent!!!
What a great half time score!
I hope we don’t just sit back now, else they’ll score.
I think we were 5/1 to win today as well.
First good corner play by Villa in this season and what a great header. Second goal was a classic counter attack. Keane absolutly great performance, good runs, good vision, clever passist, he is first class, but MotM so far is Dunne. What a performance from a player who is constantly ciritised.
True to form dunne has committed his usual f*****g howler. Defence is shit warnock skinned for second goal and dunne out jumped at corner that Ireland cleared of line. Dunne is useless
I must be dreaming
What a difference a quality forward makes to a decent outfit. Without Robbie Keane we would have lost to wolves and today to arse. I really hope he is convinced to return to pl with us. Think he has got at least two more quality years left in him at the top level.
Fucking dunne, given would have collected the ball!!!!! Always a clanger in him!
Unbelievable.
They’re pissing all over us now.
We look fucking useless again!
Ian time to hide under the blanket on your couch!!!!!
unbelievable eh ?
can not understand why we went from defending well to this, well, SHIT
Not sure we’ve been helped by the ref. Hutton shd have had a free kick before their first. RVP should’ve been sent off. How can the ref give the 2nd pen from where he was standing!?
The dream is over 56 yrs of hurt
How can we lose the game within 15mins from the position we were in. This is shocking by any standards!
Just like we did aganist man u theres a curse on villa
No inept a mediocre team who have bigger problems than us have taken us apart for fifteen. mins and that my friend is shocking
Depressing
Out of the cup, what a season of depression.
We need new left back and centre half big time. Dunne and warnock shud never play for this great club again they cost us every game
+1
To fucking right, Dunne with his inevitable/compulsory weekly clanger the fucking usless overweight brainless twat.
Referee is a joke – you don´t give 2nd penalty after 1st one.
U do when it’s a sky four team
It’s over surely.
A 4-0 quick death would have been better than this slow torturous one. Why do we have to suffer like this time and time again?
I feel totally sick.
