[Lineker]

1-0 Villa. Darren Bent scores a penalty for his 4th different EPL club, equalling the record held by Teddy Sheringham.

Villa goal: A real disaster for the Baggies defence this one. Steven Reid attempts to shepherd the ball back to Ben Foster, just inside his area, but Gabriel Agbonlahor nips in to push the ball past the diving West Brom keeper, who then inadvertently sends the Villa striker tumbling. Phil Dowd points to the spot and this time Darren Bent makes no mistake, burying his shot into the bottom corner.

Also, Chris Herd has just conceded a penalty, getting a straight red in the process. No idea what for. Penalty was sent wide either way. About ten miles wide.

[Berober]

Please kindly fuck off Phil Dowd.

[brenchill]

What a game.

Think we're in trouble now though with 10 men.

[brenchill]

1-1.

Uphill from here .

[Cymbols]

Ref's a twat

[Summers]

Just got in from playing football like a boss. (Literally, like a boss. Clinical, me.)

Sounds like we're being fucked hard.

[Summers]

Just saw a reply. Fuck right off.

[brenchill]

My mate who is at the game said Hutton's tackle on Long was brutal. Brilliant.

I'd take a draw right now. I'd keep N'Zogbia on for 15 minutes, see how it goes, if we're getting battered I'd take him off for Clark or Ireland.

[Summers]

I saw the tackle. It was ferocious. Won the ball, though.

[Lineker]

Fucking hell come on Newcastle.

[Berober]

Through all of this, I'm happier trying to settle for a draw with Cuellar playing over Hutton.

[Cymbols]

Out of interest, any of you got Villa seaon tickets?

[Summers]

Nah. Though I get the use of some now and again. Aside from that, I just go to the odd game.

[brenchill]

2-1. Fuck!

[Berober]

No point now I'm studying in Leicester.

And fuck.

[Summers]

My stream keeps going shit, which may be a good thing the way it's going.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Quick Villa! You need a goal!

It's ok, Heskey's come on.

[Matt]

Quick Villa! You need a goal!

It's ok, Heskey's come on.

*tears up betting slip*

[Summers]

These linesmen are as shocking as Dowd. Fucking useless cocks.
