Armstrong for Romeu. Wrong sub.

Ings has to come off FFS.

Should be a fourth but a typically erratic shot from Redmond aborted the opportunity. We should get Ings off for a rest / protection soon.

Villa defending like pedo guys.

Boos ring out. Nice. We were pretty typical until the goal then we started playing with way more confidence and were by far the better team. We do have a tendency to give the ball away clumsily though which might still cost us. We need to stay positive and look for more goals.

We’ve got a corner. Time is up.....

Terribly messy five minutes when we just need to see it out. Viola corner. 90 seconds left

Another dangerous set piece. Villa are a mess at the back. Corner now.

Hoj is fine. Taking a breather.

Goal! Stephens! Header from JWPs in-swinging corner.

Much better from Bertrand.

Better from Redmond. We probably should have a second really.

Just nearly scored the best goal ever. Maybe slight exaggeration.

Goal! Ings. Rebound from Long’s saved shot after Redmond plays it over the top.

I don’t know how Long missed that. It might be his best ever miss for us, which is quite something. Redmond looking useless. So sloppy in possession. Two crap teams on show.

No, I’m abroad. Sorry.

Long misses an open goal from a yard out.

One of their players just put his head into Redmond’s face. Why doesn’t he go down FFS!?

Stephens asleep and out of position. Villa should have scored. Decent save.

Pitch looks quite boggy. Bertand looks half assed. Midfield pressing is ok so far. No link with forwards.

Great shouts. That MK Dons match was brilliant. Praise be to Johnno Quick.

Exactly.

Like in the summer? Wait till our last minute loan signing of someone ****e.

And it's not just about being crap. I grew up on us being crap and I can handle that. It's the lack of spirit and energy around the team. We were crap but you couldn't tell me Benali, Dodd, Le Tiss, Maddison etc. weren't trying and didn't care. Now you've got two full backs who don't want to be there. Jobbing players who make enough money from one average PL contract not to ever really need to give a ****. ****s like Lemina and Austin obsessed with making themselves look stupid on Soshal Meejaah etc. It's depressing. We have no identity and no defining characteristic. Clearly we will never compete financially under Gao and Kat so there's nothing at all to buy into. It's dead.

Kagame is well loved by most Rwandans. To come from where they were in 1994 to where they are now is quite a success story.
