Gutted I can't make the game today as I'm picking the missus up from the airport - this reminds me of being back in the Championship when I was going to matches confident of a good display and victory or "unfair" draw!

Yep, looking forward to it; Sakho presumably back in starting 11 & AC potentially on the bench.

Well done BFS & Sakho as well - BPL Manager & Player of the month!

COYI!!!

Very good so far; rate him highly - decent young English player. Be good to get him signed but suspect that it's unlikely.

Tempting fate but hoping for a convincing home win today. Congrats to Sakho and BFS, well deserved.

That's good to hear, we have another young player in Bellerin who looks very promising so it'll be intresting to see what Arsne decides. I personally want Jenks back. He's a gooner and we could do with a few more players who live and breathe the club in the squad. Hopefully he continues to do well for you chaps.

Disappointing game, few chances towards the end but overall a bit st. Pity, should be winning games like that at home comfortably.

Thought choice of subs was poor - rather have seen amalafitano than Nolan and probably AC sooner than extra time as amount of corners we got hour might have been effective on knock downs.

Villa took piss with amount of time wasting and diving about. Ref made couple of poor decisions and tt of linesman kept seeing offsides - cock.

Argies v Croatia next in BM lower, should be interesting.

I only saw it on a stream but what was that about in the last 10mins when Cole or Song (couldn't tell on the dodgy stream) got clipped in the box and not only did the ref give a free kick to Villa but their bloke rolled around on the floor like he'd been shot! It was either nothing or a penalty, how the ref got it so wrong from 10 yards away is astonishing. mad

There were a few dodgy decisions.

Think that one ended with their being bloke being stretchered off - gave then a chance to waste a bit more time.

You missed nothing and I got totally soaked walking back to Plaistow tube.

That's right but no one touched him and he hurled himself at our forward.

Tossers. Seem to remember them doing similar last year.

On a positive crowd chanting at Jole Cole was funny - he took it the right way though.

Odd game, middle part of it we seemed to lose our way, then all hell broke loose in the last 15 mins or so. The sub I couldn't understand was cole coming in before Carroll . Surely if AC was fit enough for the bench , he was fit enough to come on for twenty minutes ? Jenkinson spurned a great chance when all he had to do was knock it back across the six yard box but headed straight at Guzan,and would have been a great story if Carroll had buried his header witin 2 minutes of coming on . Not our best, but nice not to be playing villa in a relegation 6 pointer for once !!

Cole's been alright recently; guess that was the thinking.

Agree that that jenks chance should have been finished.

Can't remember the last time we had 3 strikers on though?

I watched he last 15 or so minutes, bit unlucky I felt, can't fault the players attitude one little bit.


Hats off to Sam in getting Song , he's a good, good footballer.

What song does do, is make the game look easy by keeping the simple stuff simple. Two decent feet ,good balance,shields it well, always available .One drilled cross field pass in the second half straight off his laces to jenks was simply sublime( looked like a toe punt!!)while the move was still going on Noble turned round and clapped him in disbelief .
