That's very kind of you to offer, thank you. If I do stay, I'll try to keep the use of the term "fucking ****" to a bare minimum :-)

The opposition didn't have a shot on target and we created 4 properly clear cut chances. In fact, clear cut doesn't even do them justice, they were sitters. It was one element away from being the perfect away performance, but sometimes through bad luck (Sterling, Fernando) or poor finishing (De Bruyne, Sterling) the ball just won't go in. Just one of those days but the performance (2nd half especially) was excellent.

That's pretty much how I saw it too. But Bluemoon wouldn't be Bluemoon without 90+ pages of vitriol after we've failed to win a game.The opposition didn't have a shot on target and we created 4 properly clear cut chances.

How will we recover from this draw if we only see it as unlucky.
Players need to be true and see their failings yesterday. Or we run the risk of being beaten by the next team that look slightly organised. Poor midfield today.

Ok Chippy Boy (or should I say Drama Boy), plrease stop fecking whining. We didn't win today, but the lads turned up and tried. We're not gonna win every single game - no fecker does - but we turned up and 'tried' to win the game. The fact that you have the audacity to compare us with a team that doesn't even try to play football makes me sick to my teeth, and your idea of what is embarrassing seems to be to compare us with the way that the shite across the way play, and where they stand at this moment, with only a third of the games played. That simply tells me you should have a long hard look at the team you supposedly support, where we have come from, and where we are now! Take a long hard look, chippy boy.
Fecking rant over!!!!!
I have no idea what you're on about.
Yes we 'tried' to win the game, for 35 minutes at least. My beef is not this one game, and it's not really with the players although there are one or two who you could single out.
I just think when you look at the caliber of players we have right now, we could and should be further ahead of where we are right now. I think we have an average manager who isn't getting the best out of the team, from a development perspective (he's doing nothing to nurture our young talent) motivationally, tactically or any which way.

The people that say look where we have come from are right but doesn't hide the fact the performance at Villa was unacceptable.
From the first few minutes you could sense the outcome, the passing and decision making was poor, there was no pace to our play, and we allowed Villa to settle instead of getting at them and unsettling them.
By the time Mr. Blobby got the hook we were running out off time and the late flurry of effort didn't make up for the previous dross.
A school report would have read "Must do better".

What is the bluemoon record for pages in wake of 0-0 away draw before christmas and after it? 7 needed for hundred
The result wasn't the end of the world and I am confident we will be in there at the end. We might have had some 'bad luck' but a team of our quality should not have to rely on luck to beat a team in Villa's position. It looked like one or two players either didn't fancy it or had not recovered sufficiently from Sevilla.
Yaya didn't turn up at all and probably should have been rested. He certainly should not have come out for the second half.
We lost really because Pel go it wrong, particularly with the substitutions. Familiar story.
But this is the same Pel who won the title at his first attempt and has masterminded us through to the next round of the Euro. All managers have their quirks and blind spots. We, the players and Pel will dust ourselves down, pick ourselves up and move onwards and hopefully upwards.
My main concern is the poxy ACON. It is going to leave us with at most one striker for several weeks of the season. Assuming Aguero can remain fit. We should have another striker sitting in front of the cameras signing a contract on Jan 1st. If that means Bony is moved on in the summer then so be it. I like the lad but it is beginning to look like this is one of those situations where a perfectly fine player who could do a great job in the right setup, just doesn't fit.

There is no ACON this year. However, I completely agree on the striker front. If we can't trust Kelechi to be our striker then we should have signed a 3rd striker we can rely on or Pellegrini thinks we can rely on

there is no ACON this year, the next one is 2017. But it could have been an issue for us if there was one mind! :-)
I wonder if we will look for a striker in the January Window??

Hope you took your binoculars with you to Ko Samui GDM, there are some really interesting birds out there.It was a cunts trick! I called him a 'fucking ****' at least four times after he'd done it and the woman on the next table at the bar I was at in Ko Samui left straightaway saying I'd "ruined her night" with her pitiful and silent boyfriend trailing in her wake! She'd gone before I had the chance to apologise :-/
Keep your eye out for the Greater Coucal, seriously ugly with scary eyes.

The only thing lacking from the game was finishing. Had we got one goal, they'd have had to come out of their shell, and that would have made a big difference to the "pace of our play" "Dross" suggests the yardstick has now become Sevilla away.
I've been trying that on the FA (and IFAB the body that recommends changes to the laws) for ages and they don't want to know. Ref should just have given us a free kick from the corner for an imaginary push.This whole 'sporting gesture' of giving the ball back really winds me up. If there's no specific rule to cover it, it's open to exactly the kind of thing that happened today - their player acted like a tw*t, but was totally within his rights as far as the rules of the game are concerned. How about "if the referee decides a ball was put out of play to allow an injured player to be attended to, play is restarted by the goalkeeper of the team putting the ball out having the ball in hand". That's pretty much what happens when they do 'the sporting thing' anyway, and it stops incidents like the one today.

I wish he would trust him. If he is seen as more of a number 10 then there's an awful lot of competition for that slot. What frustrates me is the timing of his sub. No point bringing the lad on with just a few minutes left.
