Quoted from Andrew Deserved it just like that fan at Selhurst Park.

Ha, Cantona was crazy.  The fan probably desered a slap but a karate kick?

Quoted from alffy 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.

Yes, it wasn’t a ball boy, more ball man with motive. Why the hell is a 17 year old doing a ball gig – his parents must be so proud. And the antics after, pretending like he’d been kicked by Bruce Lee was just laughable.

I think Hazard was wrong but he kicked the ball, not the boy(man). I hope he only gets the three match ban and nothing more.

But more importantly, forget the Bradford league cup tie or the F.A cup. The important game is tonight when Villa host France, I mean Newcastle. This one is a six pointer so get behind the Villains because we need a victory. There is apparently no money to spend so the current players better get their heads out of the sand and start getting some results together.

At present it's Villa 0-1 France, not good.

Yeah, I saw it and wasn't impressed. I've always hated the French!

Villa were terrible in the first half for what was a massive match for us - they were completely devoid of passion and I was about ready to throw in the towel...

But the second half, we played a lot better and probably deserved a point in the end.

Football is sometimes about luck - 5 minutes before that Cabaye goal which made it 0-2, N'Zogbia hit a stunner which crashed back off the post. If that goes in then who knows but it wasn't to be.

Oh well, an easy three points against Everton this weekend.

Yeah we gave up a 2-0 advantage and still can't beat any team in the top 8

It's rare that I'm gutted Liverpool didn't win, wish you could of held on to beat the scum. But saying that it took another moment of magic from my man crush Gareth Bale to get a draw at Norwich, so we stay four points ahead of the Gooners.

I will be supporting Villa at the weekend, Everton are getting a bit too close for comfort for my liking.

I felt a bit gutted for Liverpool too, I thought they played well but they still have players who I think aren't good enough.

What is happening to Chelsea?  Letting a 2 goal lead slip again.  This would have been unheard of a few years ago.

I'm also getting a little miffed by Palace's loss of form.  I think we'll be lucky to stay in the play-offs in this form.

Again I'll say; Villa look doomed.  They've played some 'must win' games lately and not won them.  Dark days a looming.

Not the Premier League but...get in England! Not often we turn over the Brazilians.

You know Alffy Ireland beat Estonia and you dont see me rubbing it in..

Quoted from alffy Not the Premier League but...get in England! Not often we turn over the Brazilians.

Brilliant! I can see the papers this morning, England are going to win the World Cup next year. Frank Lampard who scored our winning goal, how old is he going to be when the World Cup comes around next year - 37 I think?

I'm sorry but this was a weak Brazil team, I can't believe how bad they are now. Apart from the potential of Neymar, Oscar and Moura, they look like an ageing team. I didn't even know that Ronaldinho was still playing and there he is. They have a suspect defender in Luiz and a goalkeeper who plays for a team bottom of the premier league.

I guess it was a friendly after all but I always feel a little indifferent about jumping on the England bandwagon - they just let you down.

Neymar was shite last night and did naff all in the Olympics either.  I really can't see him making it in Europe in this form.

It's funny how when England got stuffed by Sweden it was 'only a friendly' but we beat Brazil and 'we beat the five time world champions'. lol

This thread has gone quiet, ever since Liverpool started kicking ASS.

Oh yeah bitches

and what are we gonna win this season?... sweet FA  

F$$K ALL that is

Mark

You boys are staring down the barrel of many barren years! Oh the shame!

What are the views on tonight's games, then? I can't see past United going through, but then again, I'm bound to say that. United 2-1.

Will be watching Man U/Real in the morning. It's on live here on free to air at 530 am

Reckon Man U will go through but you never know. Ronaldo is in decent form.

Villa were plucky against Man Shitty this morn but no result. At least we didn't do any further damage to our goal diff which could be vital at the pointy end of it all. Must win games coming up against fellow strugglers Reading and QPR.

And we still have return games v Man U and Chelsea. Will be a tough gig but I reckon we can stay up.
