2-0 now! Mental

Bloody Leslie.

[LewisF]

Scott Dann scores for palace. Again.

[Salgado Is Still A Hero]

Bloody Leslie.

I forget, why don't you like Hughes again?

Alli and Aguero have both bagged already tonight, they've done wonders for my fantasy team this season!

Yay Dele Alli has gone off!

I see your Alli and Aguero goals and raise you a Dann, Kane & Alli goal.

Dropped Dann this week for Wes Morgan! (D'oh!) Got some fixtures tomorrow anyway!

[Blue Cabbage]

I would imagine it's the ex-Utd thing

[VinjayV4]

Apparently Vardy has scored an absolute wonder goal.

[A cup of beans]

Jamie Vardy 's goal was outrageous. Mahrez long ball up to him, takes it on the bounce and belts it from 20 yards.

Decent goal, I rate it 6/10 on the Tugay scale.

Shall I add the Vardy double and Marhez assist?

[K-Hod]

I've got Mahrez thankfully! Ighalo tomorrow. A few clean sheets tonight thankfully!

Villa still 10 points adrift. 11 if Newcastle win at Everton tomorrow. I've never seen a club just give up as they have.

If Villa are still plummeting in the Championship next season, and we're making a promotion push, Lambert will be laughing.

[chaddyrovers]

Villa were shocking after going down to 10 men

Garde didnt have a plan B. Do feel he isnt the right manager there.

Feel sorry for 900 Villa fans who travelled down

[Tom]

I love Okazaki what a guy, never seen a happier footballer

Great goal Vardey's but not the worldie volley they were making out on SSN last night. See Tugay for worldie volleys SSN.

Was saying precisely the same thing to a colleague this morning. He's caught it well, but you regularly see similar goals (we scored two in one game at Ewood a few years back - N'Zonzi and someone else, Roberts perhaps?)

Peter Crouch's goal for Stoke against City a couple of years ago was technically much better. Vardy's was a very good goal but they were going on about it on SSN as though it was the best goal any of them had ever seen.

[DE.]

They're obviously just bigging up Vardy with the Euros coming up. Everything remotely decent he does will now be hailed as spectacular and the next coming of Shearer.

900? That can't be right, as I've been hearing on the radio what a massive club they are with a huge fan base.

Given the state of their club and league position I think the 900 should be applauded.

Some are still describing it as a volley? Have I missed a memo explaining a half-volley has been promoted to a volley?

I was thinking the same. Even half volley is generous, he's just taken it on the bounce hasn't he?

I'm also annoyed by this! Imagine trying that in a game of heads and volleys where half-volleys weren't allowed? Idiots.

[koi]

To me a half-volley is when you catch the ball on the UP from a bounce not when it's bounced and dropping or at the top of the bounce.

I was thinking the same. Even half volley is generous, he's just taken it on the bounce hasn't he?

I think you're right because I've always considered it a half-volley if you catch the ball on the way UP after the bounce not when it's dropping. Hitting a rising ball is much more difficult than a dropping one that's had the speed taken out of it after a bounce.

[den]

A volley is when the ball is off the ground. A half volley is when a bouncing ball is in contact with the ground.
