The premier league is ruthless Anthony... Brought them up 2 divisions, 15th in the league and undefeated in the last 4 away matches. I feel bad for him

I see Fergie has blamed the officials as to why Utd didn't beat Spurs and it had nothing to do with the fact that they were outplayed.  He gets my blood boiling; the red nosed dictator should naff off.

On a lighter note, great win for Liverpool and a decent point for Villa despite being two up.

And you know nothing will get said to him... utd own the media
spurs 25 shots utd 5 shots

Sturridge looking the part 3 in 3 not bad

Hey Mark - 5:0  and now seventh - whats that about? I could almost start to get silly ideas of a top 4 place, ok that is silly.

I was shocked to see Liverpool had the same points as Arsenal.  If Rodgers brings in a few before the transfer window closes they could challenge for Champions league place.

We could be singing coutinho from inter this week

C'mon Villa turn it around... Give my old shipmate Coop something to cheer about.. : D

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Dear Mr Lambert, your P45's in the post.

Sorry Bill, I didn't see this.

We have to get past our top 8 hoodoo, we haven't beaten anyone above us yet... City and Arsenal next

Poor Villa, Bradford is a top side

Not much cheer about at the moment.

These are indeed very dark days at Villa park and I can only hope that we stay up.

Things have been getting worse and worse... I can't believe the board and their lack of action in pulling out the cheque book.

We're in deep need of some quality players, if we go down then I can see it being a few years before we find out feet again. It almost seems like this is what they're setting up for with all the younger players and lower wages.

Just depressing.

I know you feel buddy

Recently we were beaten by a team of very low standards, inexperience and crap players... ohh wait that was Villa.

Cheer up Coop it's not all bad.. You could be a liverpool fan

Interesting to hear what people make of Hazard's attack on the swansea Ball Boy.

Personally I'd say the Ball Boy was taking the piss by falling on the ball and smothering it and deserved a ticking off but there are NO excuses for kicking the lad to get the ball back, no matter how frustrating it is.

More info now and it turns out the ball boy is 17 and tweeted before the game that he was going to time waste...deserved a kicking as he clearly didn't do a 'Hazard' check.

I'm torn on the subject of 'Ballboygate'. I agree with Robbie Savage that they're both to blame. As a profeesional footballer Hazard should know better, but then again the ball boy deserved it for being an ass. He's basically a man himself and also should have known better. He certainly made the most of it though, I feel like he's been watching too many big names rolling around like little girls.

More bad news for Villa last night, out of the FA cup to Millwall and another goal conceded from a corner. I spoke to a Villa supporting friend of mine the other day and he believes the Villa higher ups are, and have been planning for relegation for a while. He said they mainly have Championship level players and are just trying to get them used to playing together before the inevitable and they go down. I also read that Lambert won't lose his job even if they do go down, interesting to hear some of you boys thoughts on that.

Read that Lambert rested Benteke from the cup tie, saving him for the more important League game v Newcastle.

That's good management. The FA Cup sadly is almost an irrelevance these days.

I'm confident we can stay up now we can concentrate on the league. As long as we beat the other crap teams around us, we should scrape enough points.

Deserved it just like that fan at Selhurst Park.
