MATCHWATCH : Aston Villa (a) sponsored by hoping it's 1959/1960 all over again

[RoyalBlue]

Villa's starting line up cost over £33,000,000, with their bench costing another £12,000,000. That doesn't include any loan fees for the 3 loanees in the 18 man squad! What's happening with regard to FFP - although their home league attendances are very impressive.

Clubs are sticking two fingers up at it because the benefits to be derived from cheating far outweigh the sanctions - QPR case in point.

[Snowflake Royal]

Well, we've certainly responded well with our 1 shot this half.

[RoyalBlue]

Not one shot on target so far this half (just one blocked attempt). Completely unacceptable.

[Davezk]

hit the underside of the bar

If games finished at HT we would be unbeaten on 7 points

According to Jeff Stelling we have won just 3 of our last THIRTY League games!!! Can that really be correct???

Sounds right to me. Burton, QPR and Preston. No wonder supporters are not turning up to games.

Brilliant pen!!!! But back to Jeff Stelling :

Before today our league record is P30 W3 D10 L17 F 26 A52 - relegation form and a half!!

But hey, can we nick a point at VP????

[Lower West]

One of the many problems that Clement was brought in to fix. Just how long does he need/expect to be given to improve things?!

Needs a season at least to turn around the years of neglect. Constant managerial changes do nothing to build a successfull team let alone a club.

Constant managerial changes are necessary if you keep selecting duff candidates. Improvements so far since he's joined have been?

I always keep in mind that Man Utd were a game away from being relegated under Ferguson. Nor did they win anything for 3 years. Takes time to build a dynasty.

[Snowflake Royal]

Woop woop!

[Armadillo Roadkill]

We've had plenty of bad luck, for once we got a gift.

[windermereROYAL]

Funny Villa won their first two home games with injury time winners, now we nick a point with a last gasp goal.

[SCIAG]

Another match without defeat!

[alfie9]

Good stuff.

Hopefully this will give the team a confidence boost. We can do this!

[Snowflake Royal]

Unbeaten in 2. Saved a game from a losing position. Very value away point at a good unbeaten side. Starting to get the first time line up we want back together.
