It was the youngest Villa side to ever play in the premier league. Soccerball Saturday made that point several times.

Great idea from Brentford. For their home game against Stevenage fans can pay what they want for a ticket, anything over £1. Payments over £5 and a donation will go to sport relief. Got me thinking how much would I pay if I had the choice to. We've become used to paying £30 plus in England and we are the most expensive in Europe. What do you think is a reasonable price for football though? I would say about £18-£20 is a fair price for a lower half premier league soccerball weighing it up against other forms of entertainment and other sports. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Now I know they were playing Man City but really they should have been out of sight by half time. Newcastle just had nothing

And Villa are above us so they are doing something better, yes?

Newcastle are in serious danger if being dragged into it. They won't go down but are badly out of form and got some tough games to come.

Read what? Im not quite sure how you are attempting to spin our captain saying 'the occasion got to us' as anything over than what is obviously means.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise I had to reply to your every post. Especially when I've already responded in other posts. 'the occasion got to us' That on its own is compelling evidence is it not?

I must be missing the joke.

So you know more than our captain?

That's not what our captain said.

We also have to play 7 of the bottom 10 away, I'm sure we'll pick up points from these games. Provided we don't get stage fright again of course.

If they get a result at Newcastle next week which isn't beyond the realms of possibility given their form, it brings them right back Inn touching distance and drags Newcastle right into it.

I wouldn't be surprised. Would Redknapp still be a terrible clueless manager who bankrupts clubs then?

On another note LOL at Redknapp describing Tarabats performance today against Fulham as 'an all time great performance'

The fellas watching it on soccerball Saturday said they played very well. So what's your point?

Anf then our captain admitting after some of them were overawed. Fine, we'll lose, we'll play badly. It happens. What isn't fine is being star struck playing away at a midtable side that were good once.

And now you've resorted to abuse. Oh dear. Sure sign youre losing the arguement.

See my post above. 'the occasion got to us' 'we showed them too much respect' ' we didn't believe in our own ability as much as we should have' Oh dear.

Idiotic?. How so? here are our captains comments if you missed them. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/10085258.Saints_suffered_stage_fright__says_Lallana/ Despite being lucky enough to play at Anfield themselves, Villa, who were below us, managed to find it from somewhere to score 3 goals and not be so filled with wonder at the sight of The Kop they forgot they had a job to do. Yes, an idiotic observation.

More bollo*cks as usual because someone dare to say anything isn't amazing connected with SFC. It's not so much the performance, every team has an off day. It's the admission by our captain that we were overawed by the occasion.

I don't see what people problem is with my observation. A team below has just won comfortably on a ground where our captain admitted we were starstruck only 2 weeks ago. Bury your head in the sands if you like but this is worrying.

Hang on a minute. I made an observation about the difference between us and Villa, how our captiain admitted we got stage fright and you started going on about Villas performance at st Mary's. Why are you linking the two if that wasnt your intention?

Got to love MLG justifying our players bottling it at Anfield because Villa were rubbish at St Mary's in September. Brilliant logic.

What does that have to do with them winning 3-0 at a ground our players were starstruck at two weeks ago?

I'm not harping on about it. Merely making a very valid comment on th difference in attitude of the two sides. Keep justifying it though I'm sure you'll convince yourself that our 1-0 defeat wa a great result.
