With all the stick Ruddy gets, he deserves some praise after that first half performance.
But it has been coming from the very first minute. They have been so dominant and playing far better than in recent games (bloody typical).villa and Newcastle scores are better news and if swans v Bournemouth stays that way it won't be too ugly.
Shame we played a Chelsea team that decided to play properly for a change.

Spot on - for one error we had a point. Villa are looking in deep trouble.That was me, china. Troubles keeping my stream going today so didn't even know a late match thread had been put up.
As for the match, it's frustrating again, as at ManCity, but it did show that we have a team of character that can stand up to the big boys, even away from home. That was no struggling Chelsea today - they were fantastic with their passing, their movement and just excellent skill. In spite of that they had to score a goal on about the only mistake our defence made all day and then hold on to win by the single goal. Great performance by both teams and convinces me again that both the AN and the players can succeed in this league. The Villa, Newcastle and Bournemouth results help as well.
