owen give newcastle the lead at villa:eek:

cson

Is Joey Barton the biggest tinker going at the minute? He's after getting away with wrestling Shaun Moloney to the ground and producing a save that Shay Given would have been proud of, and to top it all off he tried to dismember Ashleys Youngs legs with what Mr Gray termed a "strong challenge". There's only one word for him, it begins with "K" and ends with "acker".

yes, if there was a team of 11 hated men(hint, please start thread!) in the premiership, he would be captain. him and michael ball, great pillars of society they are.

BOUMA!!

1-1 Villa -toon

edit: CAREW!!!

2-1

cson

2-1 Villa.

Justice.

Bounty Hunter

and now Given is off injured looks alright though so its not too serious id say

Unearthly

Smith has become such a poor player. He used to be quite useful at Man Utd

PHB

United made him a terrible player. He wasn't good enough up front for United, so he was shifted back to midfield where he could do a job. Wasn't good enough there either so

I think if he gets played as a striker again for a while, he'll get back to his old standards.

Bounty Hunter

3-1

Carew again

UTV

cson

3-1 Villa, courtesy of Carew.

Comical defending.

Necronomicon

Villa 3-1 Capitulation United

Some comical defending, especially for Carew's second.

Edit: lol, what the hell is Stephen Carr thinking. 4-1 Villa, Carew hat-trick.

cson

Villa peno, Carew for the hatrick!

herbieflowers

It's funny, Newcastle have probably performed worse since King Kev took over, luv it

andrewie

What was Carr at..

Fully deserved hat-trick for Carew!

have to say im enjoying it too, purely because the toon fans were so bloody delusional about the whole thing while everyone else was laughing at them

It's not that I'm enjoying it, I dunno...I don't like to see managers treated unfairly...Newcastle for the drop?

PHB

I'm hopeful that Newcastle go down, just cause I hate when owners are stupid towards managers, I think it was totally unfair on big sam.

Either way, Villa look a great team. MON is getting them playing extremely well.

we play well maybe 25% of the time, max

and we only play well against teams who cant defend

Necronomicon

I can't understand some of the criticisms of MON. I know he's not the most lively in the transfer market, but how can you argue with the season so far?

Bounty Hunter

nobody is argueing with MON or the season so far infact we are delighted with it. However Helix is right to an extent we very often dont play well at all but grind out results. We were rubbish for the first hour against liverpool yet drew 2-2, we were not that good against Blackburn but got a late free kick equaliser etc. Villa have a reputation as set ball specialists and are often reliant on this for goals b'cos if Young is kept quiet Villa often struggle to make any chances from open play. But against a team like Newcastle Villa can play the type of football that we are aiming towards.

but who cares as long as the results keep coming.

i havent seen a single villa fan arguing about the end result this season anywhere, ever

there is however plenty of guff for our one dimensional play and chronic lack of creativity from open play, which is deserved

and then theres the transfer market, lively or not isnt the issue, the issue is that we have an insanely small squad and mon KEEPS selling and not buying. the jan window put any hopes we have of europe in serious doubt, and the only way we're realistically going to do it now is if we're very very lucky with injuries and suspensions. this didnt need to be the case, and mon is rightly getting all the guff he deserves

nobody wants to see all the players' hard work go to waste just because the manager is useless in the transfer market

PHB

Ugh, people gloss over reality so much.
United have won 18 games this year. 7 of them were 1-0's. Nobodies complaining. Why? Some games you win with style, some games you just win, the important thing is you are winning. If you win no games with style then fine, complain, but if its on and off, it's all you can really ask for.

Also the idea that Villa are beating teams with poor defences, who cares? United do the same thing, infact nearly every United goal this year could probably be put down to poor defending from the opposition side. Nearly all goals result from a defensive mistake, that's football

Unearthly

Terrific game between Sunderland and Wigan

end to end stuff

Bounty Hunter

PHB both myself and Helix said were happy with things: Helix saying not a single Villa fan was coplaining about the end result and i even finished saying as long as te results keep coming. i.e we agree, we dont really care as long as Villa do well but we will answer someone wondering why some have criticised MON.

hell its alost a compliment to say we havent played well much of theime yet are 5th

Unearthly

1-0 Sunderland

youd really have to be watching us week in week out to understand

we look like world beaters against poor teams, but stick us up against anything half decent and we look complete dross... yet we usually manage not to lose

the end result is there, or nearly there in terms of the league table. wed just like to see things looking a bit better on the pitch most of the time. something which wont happen unless mon gets the finger out in terms of transfers

thats all we're getting at

we're massively overperforming in terms of results at the moment, and theres no way thatll continue unless the manager bucks his ideas up in the summer window. we're still in the terrifying position of knowing that 2 or 3 injuries and we have nothing left

i dont think fans of other teams realise quite how shocking our squad is

Villain

Helix I agree 100% and I have posted simalar thoughts in the Villa thread.

I knew we would score today and I was right, great win Newcastle fans might now start realising that Keegan is past it and getting of a good manager like Big Sam to be replaced by a has been was a big big mistake, teams around the bottom start picking up points and Newcastle could go down!

Guy:Incognito

Sunderland 2- 0 Wian.


Des? you around?

Joking aside. Have to hand it to Keane, they are winning the games that matter against their rivals at the bottom. Similar table from the top makes bad reading for Liverpool. Think it was the mirror I was readign today that had the table since Rafa joined. We are far adrift in the top 4 playing each other table. Think its 10 points to the next team (Arsenal iirc)

Bounty Hunter

everyone watching the rugby or somwthing (I am)

Bolton 0-0 Portsmouth
Derby 0-1 Tottenham
Everton 1-0 Reading
Middlesbrough 1-0 Fulham
Sunderland 1-0 Wigan
West Ham 1-1 Birmingham

what a goal by Murphy

2-0 Sunderland

mike65

Pompey scores, Diara

Spurs 2 up

Mike.

cson

I'm fooking sick. I had every prem game bar Wham V Birmingham in an accum and at the last minute decided to stick in PSG at home. Needless to say PSG drew and all the other results came (well are coming) up. :mad:

herbieflowers

Teehee, Sunderland have won more games than Pool this season, even before today

Unearthly

Sunderland have themselves in a decent position now.

The Keane haters will be silent for a while.

eirebhoy

It didn't take Reid long to make an impact at Sunderland. Looked a class apart in his few minutes on the pitch. Set up a goal within 30 seconds.

Is he missing an "at home" ?

Good site for the goals:

eirebhoy

Reid's pass was the definition of the word "vision". Playing that pass straight to a player would be impressive enough but he had to judge how long it'd take Murphy to get to the ball as well. If he hit it to early the pace of the ball would have taken it away from him. Too late and the Wigan player would have had it. Fabulous pass.
