Aston Villa v Sunderland

Lincsaddick

What a good game this is so far. Three absolutely cracking goals, Villa are 2-1 ahead. Get a look at potential rivals next season folks.
Oh, a quick whinge. I missed the first 10 minutes on TV and had to resort to Radio5Live commentary. Let's ignore the game, all the commentators (Savage and one of the Darrens) were on about was di Canio and how he was performing .. f f s football is about players kicking the ball around and not megalomaniacs standing howling in the 'technical area'

oohaahmortimer

yep that 7-8 min spell of 3 goals was good stuff

that's a league we gotta be in cos even the shit teams are ten times better than the dross we generally have to put up with

Lincsaddick

cracker ... Villa are looking VERY good

Lincsaddick

3-1

4-1, Benteke's second .. his price just went up to 30 million

Absurdistan

We should sign that Benteke fella up.

Dobs Newcastle further in it, as long as Wigan can start picking up points in their last four games. :-)

Lincsaddick

Dodgy red card ,, was there intent there ?

I fancy Wigwam for the drop .. they are due it, luck and 'grit' only last so long

superchrissypowell

ThreadKiller

I think the red was right. Hat trick for Benteke

superchrissypowell

Not good goal keeping there!

Lincsaddick

Mignolet is having a bit of a howler day

Absurdistan

Don't get the Wigan hate round here?

as Alan Hansen says ... I'll need to look at it again

cliché time ..both look too good to go down ... But .....

AllLeftFoot

Would agree about preferring to face Wigan, and I think this finally looks like their year to drop.

I don't hate them, in fact the reverse .. just their time of struggle looks like it could be over

Callumcafc

Wonder what time Di Canio will have his squad training in the morning?

Lincsaddick

^^^^^^^ the way they have performed he'll have them back on the coach and out on the astroturf tonight ... against Newcastle they looked so good .. perhaps that is more a reflection of how poor Newcastle have become rather than how di C has worked the miracle

Lincsaddick

Agbonlahor .. a man revived .. well done ... 6-1

Callumcafc

Wow 6.

An hour earlier than when I asked.

That 6th means Villa now have a superior goal difference to Newcastle (-22 compared to -23), although Newcastle have scored more goals.
