Cisse gets a boot in the ribs for his troubles there.

So glad we didn't sign Warnock instead of Enrique

Keane has looked very sharp today

[Mostar]

Very good goal by Keane.

His work rate made the difference.

Keane, Bent, NZogbia, Ireland, Petrov...that's a capable bunch of players IMO Villa have there but their defence needs sorting out.

[Shaggy]

That was a typical kamikaze tackle by Warnock, dangerous ****er he is.

No one ever seems to say anything about it either. Lunges in like a madman all the time. Terrible tackle.

[doogle]

Why are the geordies booing Stephen Ireland? Has he done something specifically wrong or is it because he's just generally a tit?

looks like both

Newcastle United loan
On the final day of the transfer window, 31 January 2011, Ireland joined Newcastle United on loan until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent deal.[20] Ireland was already injured when he joined Newcastle United and suffered a number of setbacks, including a controversial nightclub incident with teammate Leon Best the night before a match[21]. He finally made his debut on 19th April 2011 in a 0–0 draw with Manchester United, appearing as a 65th minute substitute. However, after appearing only twice and playing just 49 minutes of football for the Tyneside club, Ireland was ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury, and was returned to Aston Villa.[22]

I think Warnock's single handedly cost them 20 points this season

i hate the way the phrase "commited player" is used for players like Warnock, when the truth being he is rash & dangerous and has been his whole career.

Hope Taylor has only bruising, be a shame for him and Newcastle if it was a break

[danperkins]

Very good goal by Keane.

His work rate made the difference.

he looks fresh alright, smart move by McLeish 3 goals in 2 games.
