[Master Splinter]

Crooknapp with two keepers on the bench. He really is shameless.

And Citeh only have three strikers now. For all the money spent, their squad seems badly mismanaged and devoid of balance. "We have no player. We need player."

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Tevez goes in the summer, Citeh are going to be linked with every striker in existence.

Come on Villa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jimmy Bullard is in the studio on Soccer Saturday.

Hoof has been bloodied up.

[Master Splinter]

Guthan saves from Santon!

Just after Benteke almost found Bent in the box.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 0-1 Barcodes, Cisse!
