 It was pulsating, frantic, and out of control - and that was just Ernie from the Dog and Fox's pacemaker! What a game, Villa should have been 4-0 up by half-time, Blues were that bad! Darius Vassell put Villa in front yet also ensured Villa didn't walk away with it by missing a couple of sitters. And what was that plaster on his cheek all about? A zit? A fashion statement? DIY surgery again? It looked bloody stupid whatever it was. Villa came out after the break and went ahead through a Hitzelsperger hammer of a shot. Game over, Villa fans were already planning which pub they were going to celebrate in! 2-0 up, no way back for Blues, yet Villa - the muppets! - they blew it!! Villa collapsed. And they collapsed in style. Blues pulled a goal back. 2-1. Too late surely? Manuel then missed an absolute sitter, and I mean an absolute cast iron, signed, sealed, delivered wrapped in a fluffy pink bow sitter. "Wouldn't it be funny if Blues scored now with only seconds left?" I said to a Villa fan, who responded in expletives. Five seconds later they did just that - 2-2 - Villa blew it. Tom made a sharp exit. Chuckling. For the neutral this was the purest form of comedy. And by the way... how awful was Christophe Dugarry? Anyway, I am duty bound to mention the rest of our teams, so I guess I better had. Wolves beat Fulham, who were quite frankly awful. Houdini style escapism is the only way Wolves will survive, but this gave them a fighting chance. West Brom beat Sheffield United 2-1, after the game Neil Warnock and Gary Megson embraced warmly and admitted they had both been silly. Only kidding they behaved like two seven-year olds fighting over jelly. Walsall lost at home to Watford... who are well-known for once being owned by Elton John - not their football. What a weekend - and what a cock-up by Villa!!! |
