Barclays Premier League 2014/15

And why the fuck is there a pirate sitting with our fans.

Fans have brought along arrows to remind the players what direction the goal is.

Mourinho is not going to be happy about that

I don't usually read too much into this sort of thing, but the commentator on five live just mentioned that Mourinho has never won at Villa park, didn't realise that.

We are absolutely shit. Can't see Pellegrini being at the club next season without some big changes.

Bitter goon part 1 - Bitter goon part 2. That gave me a good laugh, i've never read so much bullshit before.

What on earth has happened to your home form? Thinking of today, the Boro, Burnley, Stoke etc games....

Awful result today but I think a result like that has been overdue, we've had narrow escapes in basically every match since Boxing Day (Burnley, Sunderland, Wednesday and Everton). We've kept picking up results more or less all season but all the same problems have kept cropping up - dodgy defending, slow inaccurate passing and blunt attacking - and today was the first time we've done them all at the same time and been properly punished for it in the league this season.

Aside from the systemic problems, we've also got personnel issues that are ridiculous given the money spent since Pellegrini arrived and the heights we've reached in his time. Two unconvincing keepers, one consistent full-back who has been played into the ground, no truly reliable centre-backs, a midfield that hinges almost entirely on the whim of Yaya Touré and the diminutive genius of David Silva and a front-line that is embarrassingly lacklustre when Aguero's knackered.

And all that without even mentioning how unbelievably shit our set-pieces are. Bit sick of Pellegrini at this point to be honest.
