Can't see us losing this game, but stranger things have happened. We need Carew to perform, though, if we're going to get the three points.

Not the best game, but we did look decent in the second half. A very hard earned point, just a shame we didn't exert a bit more control and have a bit more composure after we went a goal up.

Carew is so disappointing this season, just looks completely disinterested.

was a very poor game tbh, and I think villa got away with it in the first 5 minutes when they could easily given away a penalty and maybe been down to 10 men (not sure if the red would come out as was another defender nearby)

The play in the last third by both teams was awful and not surprised hardly any shots on target.

One thing I dont understand with referees etc now days.
If a player has a tiny bit of blood on the shirt he needs to go off and change it.
If a player has a bandage covered all over in blood they dont need to put an additional layer to cover it up. Logic really is flawed with this sort of thing. Should either be no blood no matter what, or just bloody leave it all alone.

Now I really don't understand that logic. Dunne had his hand on the forward's shoulder, sure, but when Carew got pulled down in the box (heck the central defender was sitting on top of him) in the second half the commentators said it was clearly not a penalty, although it would have been a free kick outside the box.

Dunne's challenge on Doyle was nowhere near as bad as the Wolves defender, yet one is seen as a penalty and one not? Makes no sense at all.

But yes, the play in the final third was pretty poor. The first half was ruined by the weather, improved markedly in the second when we were camped in Wolves' half.

Personally I think both should have been given, but if Wolves were given the first one then the game could have been completely different... infact it probably been a hundred times better... unless the ref went with a red card and that would have ruined it.

Too often offenses like that in the box are not given, yet you see them given constantly outside the box. It irritates me because it shouldnt matter where it is, you should clearly give the decision as if it a foul in one place it is everywhere else on the field... just refs dont like giving penalties for "little offenses" when it shouldnt matter

thing is everyteam goes through problems... Liverpool are a top 4 side but lost what, their last 4 games in all competitions?

United lost to Burnley... etc etc.

All teams go through bad patches, but Villa need a few more players to become a top 4 side, that much is certain.

Was a wum.

Did love the high pitched 'villa, villa' from our lot taking the piss.

Derby, Clough is nothing like his old man, should be sacked.

yeah lol lovely as a rangers fan to see them go 2-0 and decide to sit back for 70 mins or so :drink: even at half time clough said "we will try to hang on" at 2-1 up with 45 mins to go; I dont get it.

Quite happy with the way rangers are playing especially attacking wise with lots of talent about, but there are some defensive errors happening too often for me. But if we win our game in hand we go 3rd so cant complain just yet :D

EDIT: My brother just called had a couple bets on... £1derby to win first half and £1 score to finish 4-2 to QPR lol £2 bet and won something like £107. Rounds on him tonight!! get in :p

strong result today, should have scored more though. Blackburn were shit.

Great to see J.Cole back. Bit more time and he'll be a huge boost to us and England.

Come on west ham and liverpool \o/ good luck, they'll both need it :p

The only way Villa would get top four is if Arsenal or Liverpool imploded, or if the non English playing staff rule bit hard in future seasons. Very hard to compete with 10 years Champions League money.

We can beat any team on our day though, and we can be competitive throughout a league season. Unfortunately we didn't capitalise on our early Premier League success under Atkinson and then Little, and the current regime got their feet under the table.

TBH you need 3 teams to dissapear before you hit top four IMO Man Shity and Spuds both seem strong this year.

As annoying as it was to see chelski win by so much, lamps fantasy footy score along with dogbas helps ease the pain.

That's one of the reasons I don't do fantasy football. It interferes with the unmitigated hatred I wish to feel for teams that beat us ;)

what a crap game so far, both teams look crap :(


if its a draw then Neville and Carragher should fight in the centre circle for all 3 points
