Aston Villa at the Lane, live, banter, text updates, links and please, a picture of Megan Fox or two
Written by Damian Saturday, 06 February 2010 13:23
We have a big day ahead of us. Three points would be a fantastic result today, not just because of the team we are playing but because we would be a point above them with a game in hand and if it happens, it will be a great position to find ourselves in by the end of the day.
Better still would be Liverpool and Manchester City drawing, both results are possible and if were to get that luck - we would find ourselves in fourth spot by the end of the day.
But, enough about what could happen if that happens, today is about beating Spurs and that is all we have to worry about, but it won't be easy.
We will be updating here throughout the day and on Twitter and not just the Villa match - with Liverpool and Everton kicking off in twenty minutes and me watching the match with an Everton fan and a Liverpool fan, I might have some fun with them too and on Twitter and here.
So, if you can't get to London and you don't have a TV near you, you can watch the game here and I also have a feeling there will be a link or two dropped somewhere in the comment section below.
Predictions please, links to pictures of Megan Fox - a proper Villa girl and anything you find funny or humiliating about either team from Liverpool, please help me and post it below.
Team news as we get it.

... Does anyone else hate spurs and their fans as much as me, I despise them nearly as much as the cranks from small heath. Let's hope we smash em in their own backyard and silence some of these pillocks. |

... Might as well get the links in, I suppose. Tons to be had today. For the person who asked on the previous thread, yes it's on ESPN in the UK. Easiest link is; http://www.iraqgoals.net/ch5.html But I'm going with Yes, for better quality; sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/6816 It requires sopcast though. Still sticking with 2-2 and I can't see anything but a cracking game |

...anything you find funny or humiliating about either team from Liverpool Not about Liverpool but amusing all the same... Spuds have been English league champions on 2 occasions. The same number as Preston and Burnley and less than the mighty Huddersfield Town. |

... Man City 1-0 down to Hull and deservedly so. Lovely finish from Altidore! Barry's been anonymous! Shame Liverpoo won but 3 points against Spurs will put us in a great position with a decent fixture run-in!! COYL  |

... Nothing quite as gutting as watching the buggers come back to 4-4 at their place when we looked home and dry...Really hurt that one. They are a better team now, but I think we are too. It'll be tight but I fancy us by the odd goal. Fingers crossed til they go gnarly |

... The game today could go any number of ways, but I think a score draw is the safest bet. Is Meagan Fox really a villa fan or is it just an excuse for us to check out pictures of her, as if we needed one. |

... Stan Balaban I'm mates with cat deeley's brother. He and their old man are both big wolves fans, not sure about cat but if she's anything its probably wolves. Villa to win 1-3 |

... Own goal statto here: The first own goal ever registered The Football League was scored by Aston Villa's Gershom Cox in 1888 in a match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Stan van den Buys scored three own goals in one match. Andrés Escobar, a Colombian defender, was murdered after he scored an own goal in the 1994 FIFA World Cup that resulted in his team's elimination. Escobar became a scapegoat for Colombia's defeat, and his own goal is believed by many to be the motive for his murder. Frank Sinclair scored two own goals in three games in 1999 whilst playing for Leicester City In 1976 Leicester and Aston Villa drew 2-2 with Villa's Chris Nicholl scoring all four goals AS Adema beat Stade Olymique L’Emyrne 149-0 in 2002. Yes, you read that correctly. 149-0. The even more amazing part of this story is that AS Adema did it without scoring a goal. Their opponents, Stade Olymique L’Emyrne, took complete control of the national league game, reducing Adema to the role of onlookers, as they deliberately plonked the ball in the back of their own net 149 times, in protest over a refereeing decision. Radio Madagascar reported on Friday that SOE scored the own goals against Adema as a protest after their coach Ratsimandresy Ratsarazaka lost his temper with the referee. Adema’s players reportedly stood around looking bemused, doing nothing to stop the opposition from self-destructing. |

... I believe a draw would be a good result against the yids. Do we have any team news yet? |
Chris Harper

Damian

... Friedel, Cuellar, Collins, Dunne, Luke Young, Ashley Young, Milner, Petrov, Downing, Heskey, Agbonlahor. Subs: Guzan, Sidwell, Carew, Delfouneso, Davies, Delph, Beye. |

... f**k sacks... how many shots do we have already... looks like we came for the draw... awesome... |
fastbackace
said:
|
... wow... crouch is 5 men more than heskey is, and scores more... y did we get heskey again... i forget? |
Stan Balaban
said:
|
...looks like we came for the draw... I doubt it I just think they've started much brighter than us. I hope that's the case anyway and that block from Dunne should wake the boys up! Come on the Villa!!!! |
fastbackace
said:
|
... damian, he is def. and bale will destroy cuellar on the outside... wish we still had shorey, who played awesome today. |
fastbackace
said:
|
... lol. thanks chris... those held up balls played back like that shot are going to be the death of us... f**k me... |
Damian
said:
|
... 25 mins in. It is pretty much all Spurs at the moment with the odd Villa counter. We could steal something ... maybe. Hopefully. |
fastbackace
said:
|
... ref in downing way... now im convinced he's been paid off... f**king londeners. |
Damian
said:
|
... Milner shoots from 20 yars. Good shot. Blocked. Gabby follows up but it is saved. Corner, |
Darragh McGeown
said:
 |
... Carew has been quiet since coming on. At least Heskey was showing and holding it up.... |
Adrian Kilgallon
said:
 |
...Carew doesn't look as if he wants to play. Put Nathan on!!!! Agree. Im sick of watching that lazy bastard offer us nothing. |
Darragh McGeown
said:
|
...nether carew or heskey offer anything. Not true dude. Heskey was showing and looking for the ball while holding it up well. Carew is ANONYMOUS! |
fastbackace
said:
|
... does it matter... heskey has barely ever played more than 5 games in a row for us? he's as injury prone as ledley king. |
Brian Kavanagh
said:
 |
... Still think we'll snatch it, need to get more support on the ball. players getting isolated everywhere |
Stan Balaban
said:
|
... I don't know what to think about that 1st half. What do you reckon lads, was that our gameplan to frustrate the home team and fans, or have we just been second to the ball, playing poorly? All thru the half, even with the great chances they've had, I've not felt nervous for some reason. What do you guys think cos I'm genuinely not sure how to assess this so far? |
villatx
said:
 |
... well it wasnt the most exciting of first halves hopefully the second will be lively i still think gabby is our best chance...if one of those flick-ons reaches him in a good position then i think he can beat gomes UTV in the second half |
Darragh McGeown
said:
|
... The truth is we are not playing well at all. Our strategy is to frustrate Spurs into making a mistake which is dangerous. There are only two players on the pitch that are playing well - Dicky Dunne and Gabby. Even Collins, who has been rock solid for us, is having a mare (jumping in too quickly). As for Carew - MON doesn't have the balls to take him off after him coming on as a sub. We could end stealing this but it would be exactly that - A STEAL! |
Fatkevs
said:
 |
... I agree with you irish gabby is happy to stay outside the pen boc like most of our team |
Stan Balaban
said:
|
...nether carew or heskey offer anything. Surely you must've noticed Heskey's movement and link-up play, whilst so far JC has been invisible. You're always on Heskey's back but you must at least see the effort he puts in for the team? |
Andy Pepper
said:
 |
... I dont think we will steal it i can see spuds getting at least 2 goals unless we pull our fingers out!!! |
Cian Donaghy
said:
 |
... this has been coming for collins in my opinion. hes played well this season and gives his all but he is a limited footballer. i was at fulham last week and his positioning was poor. personally, id prefer beye in there instead; it gives us a better balance and our 2 best centre halves in the middle and on the carew heskey thing - YES WE KNOW!!!! give it a rest, we all know we need a striker, well done stating the obvious. if there is money in the summer and prices are fair, we will get one then. |
rodin
said:
 |
... Spurs totally dominant in the first half so far.I would say that we are lucky to have not conceded a goal yet.Not confident going into the second half now.A point away from home is something i would gladly take. |
Darragh McGeown
said:
|
... Not to keep on moaning but its depressing when you compare the two benches. Are squad is a lot better than last season but who could you bring on to try and turn this around? Let's hope we can stick with it and get a draw or, if we are really lucky, a sneaky winner. |
VillaNick

...I agree, Carew looks half the player he can be. I think Carew will be off in the summer, he does it at every club he has played for, I think they call it work-shy. |
fastbackace
said:
|
... just got a close up at carew... looks like bags under his eyes... been out all night again... |
Bob Bhowmik
said:
|
... If Collins is struggling should bring Beye on and move CC into the middle of defence. |
fastbackace

|
...bondlings said... i remember saying the same about heskey a few months back... |
bodlingbod
said:
 |
... at least heskey holds it up and brings players into the game with carew it just keeps coming back!! |
fastbackace
said:
|
... hey guys... sorry for the pessimism, it usually comes out during games... with transfer windows showing the optimistic side of me. but comon villa, we can nick this! |
Darragh McGeown
said:
|
...Why does MON never bring someone on to try to win the game ?Quite aimple really - he doesn't have anybody! Would love if he gave Del Boy and go. |
John Davis
said:
 |
... I doubt Everton could afford the luxury of Carew, By afford I obviously mean put up with and by luxury I mean in the same way an indoor toilet compares to a rusty old bucket with a hole in up the garden. He offers so little effort and yet is prob afforded more good will by the supporters than anyone else! |
villatx
said:
|
... the only reason i cant say we didnt deserve anything was beacuse our defense is still top class...nothing else is tho |
fastbackace
said:
|
... what a shitty ass game from my beloved villa. well we talked about who was the bigger club, and im not addressing that, but over 2 full games, i feel we shit our pants, and tott kicked our asses. carew and heskey-we should pay someone to have them taken of our hands. mon-tactically we were left wanting. |
Aaron Wilson
said:
 |
... why dont we put on Delfouneso when are striker are too fat and lazy to even get up for the counter attacks!?!?!?! FFS! Its sooo frustrating! |
Sean
said:
 |
... good defensive display once again. a well earned point. still lacking going forward i feel. |

... Boring villa???? lol don't make me laugh, the chants of jealousy, we in carling cup final, tott will do F**k all this season. tott are a arrogant team who think their a big club like Man city but frankly ar nothing. at least our manager isnt a criminal! |
Fatkevs
said:
|
... So MoNs Shit Game plan has paid off, fkin yippee. Perhaps we can now look forward to a Wembley trip like the one against Chelsea. Cannot fault the players battling, but I hope MoN decides he has had his time at the end of the season this is not what Aston Villa Deserve having to endure Boring Chants that we cannot defend no wonder players leave our club stating lack of ambition. The Yank will not know what to do if MoN does go perhaps he would appoint the Browns manager the tosser |
Joseph
said:
|
... A point from that performance is a good result considering how we played, we looked to be more attacking at the start of the second half. Good defending and keeping saved us today, The strikers are assured of their places in the starting line up, MON needs to start to mixing it up abit to keep them fighting for their places. |
Spencer
said:
 |
... Good point in the end. We needed a lot more creativity though but that's nothing we don't already know is it. |
