The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Plubby]

That near-post flick-on corner piece that Spurs do has worked a few times that i've seen it...against Wigan, I think it was.

[Summers]

Absolutely thrilled with our lineup. Much, much better than the last few games.

I don't expect a result, but I'm just happy we've lined up well.

[Lineker]

1734: We hear that Aston Villa winger Charles N'Zogbia has been left out today over a breach of club discipline by the way. I am sure that there is one story that will rumble on over the next week or so. His predecessor Ashley Young gets some abuse from the home fans as he chases down a loose ball for Manchester United.

Anything more to that that we know of?

[Lineker]

Hernandez being stretchered off. He looks in quite a lot of pain.

[Lineker]

Good grief what a woeful goal to concede. Jones finishes to make it 1-0.

[Summers]

We're the kings of conceding woeful goals.

He's a twat?

[Summers]

I give Jones a 6.0 for his dive. Poor form.

Glad to hear Young getting booed, please refrain from kicking your former team mates from behind.

Bent just got whacked in the face and/or head, why did they get to play on?

[therockbox]

Heskey's on for Villa.

Finally.

[Summers]

At 1 - 0, despite being shit, there"s always a chance. Heskey comes on and I feel the chance is truly gone.

[brenchill]

How bad did Jenas' injury look?

[Summers]

Bad. When he was down, he stayed down, head in hands. Stretchered off.

[Lineker]

He got decapitated? Fucking hell.

[IAceI]

He was injured by what we believe might have been a sprinkler at the moment.

[therockbox]

Heskey has a shot that goes out for a throw in.

[Summers]

McLeish and Heskey can get the fuck out of my club.

[Colly]

My injury fears were right, Steven Taylor looks like being out for the season with a ruptured achilles. We're fucked.

[Baddar]

United just did enough to win the game today - nowhere near as good as the ESPN commentators would have people believe. The build-up play was far too slow at times. I guess we didn't need to be great, as much like the Swansea game, once the goal went in, we were able to control it. Villa haven't played this bad since, well ...the last time I watched them play, against Spurs.

Just watched AVB's post-match interview with Sky Sports.

Interviewer: "You wouldn't be happy if you were Alan, would you, with that decision?"

AVB: "Yeah, but I have too many decisions... And the last time I recall being interviewed by you, you did not ask me about the things that went wrong for my side. It seems that you are persistent in what you are looking for."

I love this guy.

[Lineker]

Javier Hernandez will be out for up to four weeks after tearing ankle ligaments.

And yeah, that was awesome.
