    Aston Villa, are you kidding me?

    I'm watching this Premier League match between Aston Villa and Manchester City, I can't follow EPL mainly becasuse there aren't enough hours in the day to follow all sports, but I do pay attention.

    Any-hoo, AVL has a 2-0 lead with 14 minutes left in the match.
    Match over, right?

    Bang, bang, bang, sure as shit, if shit can be sure, ** scores three goals in 5:38 minutes.

    Are we serious here?

    Gagging a two goal lead in soccer with 14 minutes left is bigger than Patriots over Falcons, or Royals comeback in the 2015 ALCS over the Astros.

    I just witnessed one of the greatest choke jobs in recent years.

    That's an understatement.

    I am the furthest thing from the beard of knowledge when it comes to EPL, like I said I do pay attention the bigger matches and I do have a decent working knowledge of the game to know that AVL was playing way to relaxed in that 2H, and when Man City made it 1-2 AVL pretty much said "fuk this, we give up, here, take the league title"

    Just a pathetic way to lose.

    And yeah, Liverpool must be livid right now over that.

    Pretty sure that's not what Steven Gerrard told his team after the 1-2.

    I don't know, looked like they just caved to me.
    I'm not a day to day follower though.

    I was watching Liverpool and at some point someone must have thought AV scored again to tie it at 3 because there was a roar seemingly out of nowhere. Tough stuff for those blokes

    This was nothing compared to 2012 when City had to score twice in stoppage time to win the title

    Man City were 2-0 down at half-time to West Ham on Tuesday. Man City could, and should, have scored at least 4 goals in the 2nd half of that game. West Ham had something to play for and Aston Villa didn't. Liverpool and Man City have large squads of quality players. Their possession-at-pace footballing styles have an attritional effect on opponents late in games, especially so late in the season.

    I thought the AV keeper's reaction on 1st goal was not very good. Very long cross, you know the header's coming in. Slow reaction, IMHO.
