Struggle to think of a more pointless game than Villa/Chelsea. Other then getting a look at Matt Miazaga who I presumed was made up.
Brighton/Burnley is a massive game on sky. Knockaert starts

Rafa has long been outed as a chancer at this stage.
Didn't that lead to a seventh place finish, the total collapse of team morale and his eventual departure?
Nice bundled in affair by Brighton.
Football is great in the April sunshine. Matches that really count and the sense that summer is just around the corner.
How are Real Madrid at 6 on Betfair? Are they crap/Barca that good at the minute?
Andre Gray equalises from three yards. 'On it like an absolute flash', screams Andy Hinchcliffe, never a man to respect relative flashes.
6 is probably a bit short to be honest, Boyd.
.....
'He had a great career with Milan.'
Nope.
Falcao didn't look too chuffed with that.
Tomer Hemed misses from nowhere, and the Sky man says, gravely, 'In a game of few chances, that's a standout one'. I've had it on for 15 minutes and there have been two goals and countless other chances in front of goal at both ends. Do they just decide a NARRATIVE pre-match and stick to it regardless of events?
They can be a bit suspect at the back and Barcelona's front three is preposterous. Also, new Madrid managers tend to get fucked to death in their first 'Clasico.'Originally Posted by Boydy
Knockaert dances his way to a goal, although Burnley were clueless.
Looks like two from three now. Hope Brighton are one of them.

Good game this
Brighton up would be great.
How did Pedro ever get on at Barcelona with that control? He's like one of those players FM throws up now and then with 17 finishing and 5 for everything else.
Pato lives.
It's nothing to do with Benitez mastermind. The only two senior left backs at the club are injured, so is the youth left back and the ginger gimp who's supposed to be able to play there is suspended.Rafa says, Rafa do. This being the man who shifted Gerrard out to the right because that's what was best for the team, the same man who told the same player to stop running so much. Newcastle win today.
Bit gutted I couldn't afford a ticket for this, haven't seen them since they got twatted by Spurs in the cup last season.
Are we sure it's not still 1 April?
What the fuck was Cissokho up to there?
The ginger gimp (
That's lovely.
This is finishing six nil.
Has he ever had a good game there? I don't understand where the idea of him being able to play the role came from. He made Borini look like Ryan Giggs.The ginger gimp (
Joey Barton just stamping on someone there and getting away with it.
Are Aston Villa even going to be good enough not to go straight through into League One next year?
It's only Villa but Pato doesn't look like the absolute clogger I was expecting him to be.
Test.
Ability has never been the issue. It's effort, attitude, and legs made of Jacob's crackers.
I like Barton as a pundit. But he's still a fucking animal on the pitch
That's a given, more that he appears to not just be turning up for a payday but actually making a go of it.
As for Villa, even a 'rival' they are depressing to watch, not a chance they're coming right back up.
Test.
Now he's chucked an elbow. How many instances of violent conduct do you need in a career before the authorities just take you out of football for the benefit of other professionals? Unlimited?
Why aren't Villa playing some of their young players at least? They literally have nothing to lose, their dignity went out the window a long time ago.
I started a game of Football Manager Mobile (balls to the full game) with Villa to see if I could keep them up and I finished 5th and got to the semis of the FA Cup. They should hire me.
.....
That would be the ideal thing but the new manager will be looking after his own interests.
No?
4-0 now.
Test.
On the plus side, considering a large chunk of my friends and family are Villa fans, to see them down to our level is brilliant.
Test.
.....
Cisse and Tiote start and Anita is at left back.
What they need is for a team with a goal difference motivation to really go for it and put twelve or thirteen past them. That scale of humiliation might be the only thing to provoke whoever runs the club to sort it out or whatever.
Which isn't how they got into either the financial or relegation messes they're in at the moment.
This would be the ideal game to bring on a few youngsters. Haven't Chelsea been winning every youth cup for a few years now? Where are all of these players??
Christ, Villa are depressing. I'm not sure this squad is even Championship quality. They could be playing Southend the season after next.
Loftus Cheek is playing and everyone is on loan I think
The odd steady one for us, but generally poor. He got absolutely raped once by Amalfitano at West Brom.
I guess the idea is because he's left footed, and (theoretically at least) could be a bit versatile (in the sense that midfield plodders are often able to fill in at full back if needs be).
After this game Aston Villa will have the worst goal difference in the first six tiers of English football (haven't looked below that), and the only team worse in any of the first 10 or so European top flights is Troyes.
None of today's alleged team came through the academy, Smiffy. Our problem is we've clearly not been considering a players mentality when signing them and we've failed to get rid of wankers when they become/have always been unmotivated and uninterested, which has led to the squad being awash with complete cunts who blatantly don't give a fuck.
.....
Also Villa not picking Agbonlahor because he smoked a sisha on holiday is fucking ridiculous. It goes back to treating players like adults, like any other professions. Unless smoking a sisha a few times on holiday effects his ability to play - it hasn't nothing to do with Villa.
Bacuna being booed and getting a chorus of 'Champions League, you're having a laugh' (he is). Good, might bring some level of self awareness to the constantly grinning pervert.
You litterally swapped Delph and Benteke for Micah Richards, who hadn't played football since before Man City were relevant.
