On the plus side I think we're due the full Nathan Jones meltdown in the near future. The bearded excuse monkey has run out of ideas and is getting tetchy with his own support. Trying to claim that cheering a keeper clearance led to their goal rather than the two defenders that failed simple interceptions is a new level of delusion. Expect Lineker and call to call him on that later. Which will provoke its own hissy fit.

Yes, Russ, it's bad luck. It's unbelievable that a team that creates so many clear cut opportunities for their opponents and can't make the opposition keeper make a save keeps failing to get points. I just hope TayTay is ok after he limply folded to let in their centre forward. There is one more thing you could try. Fucking off.

It's the players or Jason Wilcox. God bless Martin for managing 5 points under the impossible situation he found himself in.

We're behind them!

No shots on target might suggest Villa didn't find it tough.

We carry less threat than a nine year old girl that's never talking to us again unless we give back her Barbie.

Emery is going to under under a lot of pressure after this. Only winning 1-0 derailed Pep's season.

Steady on. No wonder Russ is so frustrated with the fans' unrealistic expectations

It's games that are close like these we really miss Jack Stephens' ability to step up and get the kind of senseless red card that gives the bearded excuse monkey his out.

I've gone from watching the match to reloading Saintsweb on my way to the pantomime. Quality of life improvements beyond belief.

If we can just hang in there we can play out the kind of result that gets everyone a hug. Apart from Joe. He put his laces through it.

The referee has 30 minutes to make a decision which allows Martin to bemoan his bad luck. Need to see something from the officials here or the post match interview might come off as self serving bollocks.

Oh well at least Watkins won't have a point to prove here

Christ, we're so brave. I'm tearing up here.

That would require shooting AND hitting the target. Neither of which we've managed.

We're going to score straight after half time and Villa's heads will drop. Trust the process.

That's not fair. We're comfortably the worst coached team in any of the top leagues in Europe.

I love the way we neutralised Villa's half time team talk by offering no threat to any goal except our own.

No hug for Joe. TayTay is getting his portion.

Spurs need some Christmas spirit next eeek

Come on TayTay tell us again how the tactics are working and that this is what the players want.

Best in Europe at creating goals

It's only matter of time before we gift them another goal

Yet strangely also forget to play any central midfielders who can tackle.

Or, what's more likely, a crushing 3-0 loss and RM to stay in job for the coming weeks.
