Incredible win to defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Really needed a win soon but I didn't expect it to come against top opposition. Good to see a huge improvement in defense and that win might make the club a little bit more attractive during the transfer window.
Sagna has been horrible lately, Szcsesny is worryingly erratic too.
As a Villa fan i must say i am more than slightly concerned with our results/performances the past month and a half.
Buying players for the future is all well and good but football is a results business and we need results now not in five years.
First upset of the cup weekend with Brighton dumping Newcastle out 2-0, althrough given Newcastle's injuries and lack confidence it is not really that suprising, with Brighton a strong championship side. Pandrew is in a bit of trouble, but they should stick by him. Crawley are leading Reading too.
I wasn't overly surprised to read that Newcastle have been knocked out. As you say, Newcastle lack confidence, and to me it's been the case throughout the season as a result of their injury crisis. They didn't have one last season, yet look at how well they did. If they get their best (or close to) team on the pitch regularly, they'll climb the table. I just hope it doesn't result in Pardew being axed, because frankly that'd be a joke.
Watching the Southampton/Chelsea game and it's 2-1 to Chelsea at half-time. Southampton started the better side and scored through Rodriquez, but after that Chelsea woke up and worked their way back into it with an easy tap in by Ba and a sweet volley by Moses.
