There is no Blazing Roaches.
But let’s look on the bright side, eh?

That does not feel good.
Done that a few times myself.

I never want anyone to get hurt
But Hernandez sneaking around and outrunning Dunne and Collins to through balls is absolutely terrifying. I would feel much better about this match if he was not on the field. Hope he’s okay. Uh… for their next match.

Little Pea appreciates your concern and will be sure to say a special prayer for you
and he somehow manages to say that in a way that isn’t condescending or annoying in the least.

This is when it's kind of weird between American Football and Football.
In American football, they can cut away to commercial, but with no commercial time during match set up, we get to watch them deal with injury live. Exciting stuff.

Small price to pay for no commercials during the game
by Viceroy Fizzlebottom on Dec 3, 2011 5:46 PM GMT up reply actions
Oh for sure.
It’s just strange to watch the whole time while the training staff is dealing with the injury since I grew up watching American football.

If a football wizard came to you right now
And gave you the following choices:
1.) You can watch the remainder of the match as-is and the chips fall where they may, or
2.) I will make it so Villa get a point out of this game, but it’s going to be 0-0 and you have to watch every second of it;
Which one would you take?
by Viceroy Fizzlebottom on Dec 3, 2011 5:51 PM GMT reply actions
The second.
As I fear it might be as bad as that anyway.

There it is.

Anyone catch Bannan try to go for a header with Carrick

Villa was really missing the shot from 30 yards out that will end up in the stands.
I hear this Petrov guy is pretty good at those.

ATTN: Referee
We really won’t be needing that injury time you were planning on giving us. End it quickly.
Creepy Mick McCarthy.
