Please win Villa.

PWS, what's your form when starting the match thread?
-
That'll do.

Herohane over Whelan, Taylor over Hause, Green over Uncle Albert.
Strong XI, strong bench.
Come On You Lions!
-
Go on Deano you have made positive changes. Get the result
Utv
-
PWS, what's your form when starting the match thread?
Pretty sure the last 2 I did were Rotherham and Forest away.
-
Please win. Or draw.
-
Not overly surprised they’ve stuck to 5 at the back. Their fans seem to think they will attempt to pinch a goal on the break.
I don’t miss having a manager with that mentality.
-
Full strength bar Chester. No excuses. Need to perform and see it over the line.
-
PWS, what's your form when starting the match thread?
Pretty sure the last 2 I did were Rotherham and Forest away.
That helps. Thank you.
-
No drama please Villa.
-
Gone for it! Thought Green might get the nod, Whelan would start.
Looks like we'll be having at them. Huzzah!!
-
WOW!!!!! Hold on to your seats.
-
Strong line up. Don’t feck this up. I have 6 days and over 65 hrs of work ahead of me so I’m pissed off as it is...
-

Add Boro away and Forest home. I stopped looking when I got to Forest as scrolling down the pages was making my eyes go funny!
-
He's going for it! Lets hope luck favours the brave. Seems a good time to bring up my favourite Dean Smith qoute " We don't just want to beat the team we're playing. We want to strike fear into our next opponents"
Come on you Villa boys.
-
Tesco’s sticking with 3 at the back. Hope we don’t get outnumbered in midfield
-
Completely as expected - attacking and positive.
-
Tesco’s sticking with 8 at the back. Hope we don’t get bored in midfield
-
No Barry on the bench ? I know he's injured but what about for the penalty shoot out ?
-
It's going to bite us on the backside one day but I fucking love that Smith only ever has one thought when it comes to games, and that's to batter the opposition.
-
Tesco’s sticking with 5 at the back. Hope we they don't cry when we go 2 up after fifteen minutes.

‘Like’
-
Who have they brought in for Gayle Platt?
-
Width again for Villa will be key. SJM and Abraham will have better games. Please Villa, finish the job.
-
It's going to bite us on the backside one day but I fucking love that Smith only ever has one thought when it comes to games, and that's to batter the opposition.
Hope it isn't today.
-
Who have they brought in for Gayle Platt?
A defender.
-
Well done Andre for getting a start, hope you score!
-

Hope it isn't today.
Indeed.
-
Right. Hourihane for Whelan I like. Albert was mediocre on Saturday so dropping him for Green is a fair call although Dean has more confidence in the youngster than I do. Otherwise it's all good. Newby's right: SJM and Tammy are extremely unlikely to have two below-par performances in a row. So basically that should be more than enough for us to do these. First goal crucial though.
-
Who have they brought in for Gayle Platt?
Her ex-Villa player son.

Who have they brought in for Gayle Platt?
Murphy and according to their fans, he's crap.
-

Indeed.
For fuck's sake, don't even entertain that thought!
-
Ignore the old women, the only question is how many we win by.
-

"Cross between the tin Man and the lion from Wizard of Oz since he joined"
-
Interesting that Smith has gone for the more attacking options in the two changes he has made. Albion look like they are going to set up the same way as Saturday.
-
Shan saying their tactics won't change much, and according to the Sky twat there's a huge crowd in the Yawnthorns.
-
It's going to bite us on the backside one day but I fucking love that Smith only ever has one thought when it comes to games, and that's to batter the opposition.
In this game I don't think that's right. By picking Hourihane they need to cover the edge of the box and green adds a bit more pace and either pins back their wing backs or draws the centre backs across. Either way it creates space in the areas Grealish will play.
-
Huge, or fat?

You're right, it's really defensive.
-

So tiny penis tactics then
-
This Sky coverage is cringeworthy. I've always thought the playoffs are a good way to keep the excitement going for a few more clubs, but I've changed my mind watching this bollox.
-
Shan saying their tactics won't change much, and according to the Sky twat there's a huge crowd in the Yawnthorns.
Maybe he's a Blues fan.
-
Shan saying their tactics won't change much
Too right. They'll still be playing that way come Armageddon.
-
UTV, very confident after seeing both teams. The two guys that went off injured for them on Sat couldnt be fully fit by Tues.
Route one football from them all night, fuck them, we will do it and comfortably so.
-
He's going for it! Lets hope luck favours the brave. Seems a good time to bring up my favourite Dean Smith qoute " We don't just want to beat the team we're playing. We want to strike fear into our next opponents"
Come on you Villa boys.
Love that quote, I think Bruce said a similar thing or was that about striking fear into the next Kebab house.
-
Come on you lions. Let's leave the whorethorns tonight with the win and leave the pie eaters to cry on radio WM.
-
Think they'll go hell for leather to get an early goal then shut up shop to get to extra time and penalties. We score, they're fucked
-
I feel sick. I can’t cope with this. Maybe I should go and do something else. Watch Jurassic Park or something.
-
Ha! Albion fans have been given white flags to wave.
-
Nice bin bags. The recycling bin at the whorethorns must be fucking massive.
-
I'm gonna throw up.
-
Watch Jurassic Park or something.
Just watch Albion play, it's the same prehistoric shite.
-
Ha! Albion fans have been given white flags to wave.
I was just about to post this - absolutely brilliant!

That's not what I meant, I'm saying this forces them to do things they didn't want to do on Saturday so I'm not sure it's about battering them as much as about making them change tactics.
-
In a pub in Cheddar with another Villa fan. No bitter birds.
Come on Villa. Fuck the Albion.
-

Just giving them a football forces them to do things they didn't want to do on Saturday.
-
so it's the opposite of going defensive in an away game you're 2-1 up in but somehow it's not showing how Smith cares more about winning than holding on. Good grief.
-
Come on Villa!
-

Again, not remotely what I posted.

Allez Allez Allez

WM "they've been given blue and white flags which they're waving with passion at Aston Villa"

Come on you Villa boys! FTA!

Fuck these tramps.

Here we go motherfuckers!

No one cares Paul.
You clearly do to have replied twice.
-
Fuck the Albion!
-
Whatever Paul.
-
Stop squabbling. The Tescos are about to be funeralled.
-
WM "they've been given blue and white flags which they're waving with passion at Aston Villa"
Wrong shade of blue but never mind
-
What the fuck is that music?
-
Would appreciate a reliable stream - my usual go-to is playing Olympique Lyonaise or something
-
Straight off with the short corner.
-
It' a fucking corner. Come on!
-
Thought AEG could have gone quicker/direct to goal
-
Foul throw. FFS
-
Would appreciate a reliable stream
Me too please, if anyone can oblige.
-
Fuck the Albion!
-
Towel ******
-
Foul throw. FFS
Stood on the pitch, not sure why it was given to them instead of taken again though.
-
We should be asking for the towel every throw in we get.
-

That's the championship for ya!
-
Towels should be banned.
-
Hi all I'd also love a link if anyone could PM thanks!
-
Well, hopefully we can get the ball a bit now.
-
How fucking tinpot of a club must you be to still be going with a fucking towel for a throw in? Evolve you dinosaurs
-
I love Axel.
-
Oh the poor yams are still miffed at Mings because he smiled at them.
-
I love Axel.

What nonsense is this the commentator is obsessing over? 🤣
-
Seen them given
-
There's the moral victory for them with el ghazi making a 'clear' handball in the box.
-

They can go home happy now.
-

Armwar El Ghazi?
-
Anwar keep your head son
-
Were they really Football League champions in 1920? Well I never. Should have an asterisk next to it.
-
Another pointless corner coming up.
-
Come on you Lions
-
Crap team selection. We have no midfield
-
Baggies cup final booing session. Looks like a shithole on tv at the borethorns
-
Corner was okay tbf.
-
Good pressure
-
Tyrone booked.
-
Could have done without that booking so early.
-
Silly booking.
-
Ref was always going to get a card out early. Stamp his authoritah on the game.
-
What was the booking for?
-
What was the booking for?
Handball.
-
If it's for dissent then that's daft from Tyrone. Still, no harm done.
-
Mings got booked for an incident whilst at the same time one of their lot was holding onto one of ours in their penalty area.
-
Deliberate handball. Fair enough.
-
Don’t get sent off Tyrone.
-
Oh shut up!! "We apologise if you have been offended by any language you have heard". DO FUCK OFF! I SHIT IN YOUR MOTHER'S MILK!
Is that offensive enough?
-
Terrifying and intimidating scenes when the Villa coach arrived at the ground.
https://twitter.com/BenHadlington/status/1128349080491577345
-
Taylor should have tried his luck there. Ended up a nothing ball
-
Who's the biased co-commentator on Sky?
That was a clear foul on El Ghazi - claiming anything else is utter garbage.
-
SJM worryingly quiet again
-
Passing has been bollocks so far.
-
Terrifying and intimidating scenes when the Villa coach arrived at the ground.

"Just a smurf spontaneously combusting. Nothing to see. Move along."
-
Come on Villa.
-
They're having every sodding bounce of the ball.
-
Who's the biased co-commentator on Sky?
That was a clear foul on El Ghazi - claiming anything else is utter garbage.
From. 'no touch' to 'a slight touch' to 'not enough to send him over like that'. Dick.
Fuck the Albion!
-
SJM worryingly quiet again
And there was I thinking he was starting to grow in the game!
-
Nice applause for Jim Lynskey who tragically died recently in his early 20’s having waited nearly 4 years for a heart transplant.
-
Super John McGinn again, begin again.
-
SJM worryingly quiet again
And there was I thinking he was starting to grow in the game!
Haha - it worked ! As soon as I posted that he improved!
-
Weird locals moaning about the amount of time we are taking on locals when they are stopping to use a towel for every one of theirs.
-
I have a horrible feeling that Mings isn't going to avoid a sending off.
-
Fuck off 0-1
-
Oh FFS.
-
First chance they've had.
-
Cuntybollockbastard
-
Fuck
-
Bollocks
-
Fack sake.
-
Bollocks
-
We’ve never been good at defending long throws.
Oh well.
-
Cmon Villa.
-
Fucking shit defending.
-
Fuck, losing to an anti football team. Is Pulis managing Albion.
-
Fuck. Shit. Bolx.
-
Pulis-ball will be defeated.
-
All came from Rodriguez barging into the back of Mings and it being given as shoulder to shoulder.
-
Why was there nobody on that back post?
-
Bollox. No surprise they scored. Wake up Villa, FFS!
-
COME ON VILLA!
-
FFS.
I think this ref is going to fuck us too tonight.
-
We've not been great tonight so far quite honestly. Need to step it up big time.
-
That was the only way they were going to score against us, a fucking set piece
-
This is our shit half.
-
Long way to go. The shit half is over halfway through.
-
We haven't had one lucky bounce all game.
-
We've been poor and played the "time wasting" game so far the entire match and it's massively backfired.
-
All came from Rodriguez barging into the back of Mings and it being given as shoulder to shoulder.
How on earth that wasn't given as a foul.
-
Almost calming to concede. At least I don't have to worry about us conceding an equaliser now.
-
Dominating with producing nothing leads to that.
-
This is our shit half.
I fooking hope so.
-
Hourihane was fucking fouled when that corner came in.
-
Almost calming to concede. At least I don't have to worry about us conceding an equaliser now.
I know what you mean, strange though it is.
-
We have started too sluggishly too often this season and certainly even during our 10 win run only to pull it out late. We need to pick it up and get a goal.
-
FFS.
What the fuck was Elmohamady doing just watching the ball bounce past him and in?!
-
Same as the first game, SJM and Jack not doing enough so we struggle to create.
-
Just haven't look at the races at all.
We need to sharpen up pronto.
Is Jack even playing.
-
Taylor is shit
-
We've been poor and played the "time wasting" game so far the entire match and it's massively backfired.
Totally agree. Tactics way off so far. Much too casual and we’ve paid the price.
-
McGinn needs to get in the game.
-
Even my stream is time-wasting. It keeps jumping back and repeating play.
-
Fucking hell, how late was that on Grealish?
-
McGinn needs to get in the game.
And Jack. And Green.
-
Why are we having to watch the game from trench level, Sky?
-
Not sure it's the tactics so much as none of our attacking players have done a fat lot so far.
-
McGinn is well in the game. The fucking ref has been weak as piss as per fucking usual. They are an utterly one dimensional bunch of ****** and we will win this game
-
That goal has given them some belief
-
Jack is playing too deep again.
-
Hopefully we will perk up when the sun sets and Amwar and Elmo have their tea.
-
Dirty bastards.
-
AEG done his groin?
-
How is that not a fucking booking.
-
How is that not a yellow card
-
Whatever we're doing... I don't like it.
-
How is that not a booking?!
-
West Brom are dirty. Ref needs to get a grip.
Come on Villa!
-
Oh fucking hell now Anwar injured.
-
Jack is playing too deep again.
Similar to Saturday. A Smith ploy?
-
This is really fucking poor.
-
Have bad feeling about this...
-
This ref is shaping up to shaft us. A prize pillock.
-
FFS.
What the fuck was Elmohamady doing just watching the ball bounce past him and in?!
Abraham more at fault imo
Thought we looked very comfortable upto then, Hourihane excellent so far.
Green offering little and Grealish far too quiet so far.
-
This referee is a useless twat.
-
Sums up the half.
-
Nobody's shafting us more than ourselves at the moment.
-
That’s fucking rubbish.
-
Yup, this is definitely our shit half.
-
We're beating ourselves so far ffs.
-
Lovely battling tackle that from. SJMcG
-
How was that wall ever 10 yards away?
-
The fourth official had to tell John Terry four times "I'm not interested"! when he was complaining about the foul on Grealish. Then he clearly threatened him to shut up or get sent to the stand.
-
Is it me or is Green useless tonight?
-
Who is the anti Villa co-commentator ?
-
Green is okay at taking people on but he really needs to improving his crossing.
-
All fart and no shit from green.
-
Green and Tammy have been woeful
-
Andre Greens crossing is appalling. Consistently so.
-
oh ffs Green
-
Is it me or is Green useless tonight?
He’s useless all the time, waste of space.
-
Is it me or is Green useless tonight?
Shocking, as is all fart no shit, El Khazi. Is Tammy playing tonight?
-
Rubbish, fucking come on Villa.
-
Tammy is winning nothing in their box. Crosses into him are a waste of time.
-
We had this tie in the palm of our hands. This is a pitiful display.
-
Green and Tammy have been AS woeful AS everyone else this half
FTFY
-
Still playing the same tactics, we’ll be two down soon.
-
Finally a shot on target.
-
We had this tie in the palm of our hands. This is a pitiful display.
We're just waiting for the 2nd half improvement. Again.
-
I do believe that shot from Ghazi was our first shot in target
-
I'm confident for the second half now. Fuck this!
-
946th foul. Zero bookings.
-
Niggly fouls all over. And the ref is letting them get away with it.
-
We've looked bog ordinary so far, as have they.
-
We've been shite, occasion is too big for Green and our central midfield been very flat. Get the feeling the double change will be much earlier than Saturday.
-
Feels worrying like they’ve got our number.
-
Good grief.
-
We may get through this one, somehow, but does anyone expect us to win the final playing like this?
-
FFS Taylor
-
what this shows is that IF we do go up, how much we will need to improve in personnel just to stay up. Keeping Mings, Tuanzabee, El Ghazi, Hause and Tammy will cost the best part of 70m. And we will still be massively weak in a number of key areas.
-
Ever going to give them a yellow ref?
-
Painful.
-
Taylor cannot cross tonight
-
Axel has been really poor. At fault for the goal too.
-
Taylor just can't attack.
-
We've played all the football. The Stripey Filth have kicked for position and scored from a lineout.
-
Oh Taylor again
-
Fucking terrible.
-
That’s deliberate by Brunt
-
An unenjoyable evening so far. They're fucking dirty, and we aren't playing well. Final ball has been very poor.
-
HT. Villa beating Villa.
-
Dirty ******!
-
No card. Fuck off you cheating inbred chbts.
-
Hourihane needs to get the crooked finger
-
Dirty scum.
-
Get Hause on for Taylor. He is such a crap full back
-
That is a stamp
-
Cheating dirty bastard.
-
Well, that was very shit.
-
How did the ref not see that?
-
Half time chat and we'll be fine.
Starting to think Whelan would be better option.
-
This ref
-
Dean Smith is livid. They have fucking chopped us to bits and no card yet. Unbelievable
-
We are playing with 10 men.
Why is green even on the fucking pitch?
-
Hourihane needs to get the crooked finger
Weirdly I would have preferred Whelan starting and Hourihane coming off the bench.
-
That's deliberate by Brunt
-
Shithouse bastards. Need to step it up second half.
-
Don’t worry boys, good half to come
-
Calm down John. Fucking Brunt.
Awful half, we’re going to fucking lose this if we don’t buck our ideas up.
-
Ref is bordering on bent, the useless twat.
-
We've let it be pretty much a perfect 45 for the bitters. So has the ref.
-
Presumably Taylor's staying on because Smith thinks he's better suited to a big game than Hause is. I'm not confident either way.
-
Brunt you twat, c'mon Villa
-
Typical dirty Olbiyun wankers!
-
How has the ref not booked any of theirs ? We need to turn possession into more clear cut chances. Need Jack on the ball further forward.
-
Mark my words...this ref will fuck us over.
-
Hourihane needs to get the crooked finger
I would have preferred Whelan starting and Hourihane coming off the bench.
Same here.
-
Fuck all the moaning about the ref and their shithousery. We can't start getting into the niggles or feeling sorry for ourselves, we've just got to play a lot better. Simple as that.
-
Really poor. Got it all wrong, nowhere near as good as against Boro last season.
45 minutes to save the season going down the pan.
-
Dirty fucker.
-
It’s in stars for them lot to do it. Cheating bastards.
-
Both wingers not at the races today. 60 mins we will see Albert and Kodj
-
Control of the game is fine, but we are a zero threat to their goal at the moment.
Green off for me, absolutely no end product at all from him.
I've got a horrible feeling about this now. I said penalties before the first leg....
-
How has the ref not booked any of theirs ? We need to turn possession into more clear cut chances. Need Jack on the ball further forward.
Indeed I can’t believe they’ve had no bookings.
-
Green has done fuck all. Taylor lacks a serious amount of courage. Hourihane only works when we're on the front foot. McGinn hasn't done much. The ref's a ******. I'm worried about this.
-
Fuck all the moaning about the ref and their shithousery. We can't start getting into the niggles or feeling sorry for ourselves, we've just got to play a lot better. Simple as that.
We've controlled the game, need a lot better quality from our wide players who have ruined far too many of our attacks.
-
Reminds me of the Fulham game, tactical persistent fouling
-
We need to be so much more incisive in second half. We’re devoid of quality.
-
Green is just not up to it.
-
I can only seeing us from stopping us winning. Their only tactic is to launch it long.
-
Well Leeds are a lot better than them and we’re getting played like a fiddle. Our players need to step up because most of them have look scared stiff for 1.5 games.
-
Brunt could have easily broken SJM arm and the ref does nothing .WTF? Seems like after the moaning from the Baggies that the ref was biased on Saturday, this prick is determined to balance it up.
-
We have had plenty of the ball but created very little, I'm actually starting to get agitated.
-
It’s in stars for them lot to do it. Cheating bastards.
Less of that shit!
-
I can only seeing us from stopping us winning. Their only tactic is to launch it long.
We’re managing that thus far.
-
Green is just not up to it.
Nope he is not and Taylor is awful
-
Half time chat and we'll be fine.
Starting to think Whelan would be better option.
Problem is, only Hourihane has looked any where decent.
-
Tammy worse than green in my opinion. Provided absolutely nothing
They are fired up more than us
-
Lots of possession but doing nothing with it. Green is fucking terrible, waste of a shirt at the moment. Need both Jack and SJM on the ball so much more.
-
Surely we can't play as poorly in the second half.
Someone needs to tell Abraham that he is not and never will be a play maker. Go and just hang around the penalty area.
Utterly terrible goal to give away.
-
We need to liven up we have played like a team who does not know whether to stick or twist. We passed across the back way too much like we were defending a 3 goal lead.
Our wide players are shit. Green simply isn't good enough. He is going to have to bring JK on.
Before the start I thought we would definitely have to score to go through.
I have a horrible feeling that Mings will get sent off & this will go to penalties.
-
Both wingers not at the races today. 60 mins we will see Albert and Kodj
Would get them on before that, it could be 2-0 if we're not careful.
-
I've said from the outset that it was vital that the officials demonstrated their impartiality in all the play off games
Having said that we need to get on with the game
-
Green is just not up to it.
Totally agree. Needs a change now with Albert coming on.
-
Presumably Taylor's staying on because Smith thinks he's better suited to a big game than Hause is. I'm not confident either way.
It was the wrong call. Their only threat is set pieces and they have scored from one. West Brom are content for Taylor to have the ball as they know he won't do anything with it.
Abraham struggling badly against the three centre backs for the second game in a row. I'm thinking Davis could be an option.
Hourihane and Elmo playing well, McGinn starting to threaten. Rest very quiet and Green poor.
-
SJM - not much
Jack - not much
Taylor - fuck all
Green - fuck all
Hourihane - fuck all
Tammy - fuck all
Elmo and AEG only two bright spots for me.
-
Hardly any of them could have a complaint if they were hooked at HT. Really disappointing and frustrating, we're better than this but seem determined not to show it.
-
It’s in stars for them lot to do it. Cheating bastards.
Less of that shit!
More like less of the shit that our team are serving up. Ffs get into them and show some of that quality we have seen in the not so recent past!
-
They didn't have a shot at goal until that awful marking, Abrahams and green have done nothing in fact having green on is like playing with a player short.
-
Tammy worse than green in my opinion. Provided absolutely nothing
They are fired up more than us
I did say Tammy wasn't great on Saturday but got shouted down due to him scoring the penalty.
Rodriguez played the lone striker role very well tonight, played a big part in the goal.
-
They’ve done for us with all their fucking moaning about the last game, they’ll have to virtually behead someone for this ref to give any of them a yellow.
-
If we come out like we were first half I'd take penalties now.
-
48 games, and we can play a 49th if we score a goal and they don't. Piece of piss really.
-
Too many players hiding, not involved or just not at the races. We seriously need to up our game in the second half and create some chances...just throwing aimless crosses into the box is no way to try and score against their back five. Just like the first leg, all the possession in the world is useless if we're too slow, not creating or providing a threat on their goal. They have us in their pocket at the moment. Step the fuck up Villa.
-
We've not played well - at all - but we've still had them chasing us all over the shop, which is going to leave them tiring in the 2nd half. Need to get Jack on the ball in the final third more and would like to see a few more balls into Tammy's feet.
On the plus side, we can't play any worse in the 2nd half, can we?
-
Green is just not up to it.
Totally agree. Needs a change now with Albert coming on.
Kodjia for me. AA has been poor for ages. At least Kodjia will give their defenders something to think about
Be brave Dean go for it
-
On the plus side, we can't play any worse in the 2nd half, can we?
I'm counting on this.
-
Have to say Roseniors punditry is spot on ‘Will it be a set piece from WB or a bit of quality from Av’
-
Tammy worse than green in my opinion. Provided absolutely nothing
They are fired up more than us
Tammy shouldn't be doing the providing. That is the job of both Green and El Ghazi.
-
Green is just not up to it.
Totally agree. Needs a change now with Albert coming on.
Kodjia for me. AA has been poor for ages. At least Kodjia will give their defenders something to think about
Be brave Dean go for it
Kodjia for me too.
-
Playing as if it a pre-season friendly. Smith will be ripping into them no doubt.
-
Green needs to do something if he stays on.
-
We look like we are trying to stroll through a fist fight. Got to up the effort second half or we will get turned over
-
Why start with Green? Ludicrous from Smith.
-
Mark my words...this ref will fuck us over.
Appears to have bought into the Villa are divers bandwagon alright.
-
SJM - not much
Jack - not much
Taylor - fuck all
Green - fuck all
Hourihane - fuck all
Tammy - fuck all
Elmo and AEG only two bright spots for me.
Maybe we should have got the rest of the squad to fast as well.
-
I have full faith in Dean to say what needs to be said. Which is, fucking get on with it.
-
You have to say it looks pretty deliberate
https://twitter.com/mrgeoffpeters/status/1128388244545179649
-
Stems from a bad line up. Grealish is a passenger. Dean needs to make changes at HT
-
I think it's difficult for Tammy as a lone striker with three centre backs effectively marking him out of the game. Green on the other hand just can't send in a decent cross for Tammy, or anyone else, to attack. Need to change it Deano - Green off and either Albert or Kodj on
-
Why start with Green? Ludicrous from Smith.
Yep. He's a useful sub and no more.
-
Need much more intent and intensity in the second half, much like the first game.
-
I can see Davis coming on and heading in a winner.
-
Ref is a coward.
-
Why start with Green? Ludicrous from Smith.
Lesser of two evils with Albert who has been poor for a while
-
We’ve got to hope some water revitalises El Ghazi and we sub Green.
-
Just not turned up as a team for me at the playoffs. Needs a seismic shift in performance to get past these. They all need to lift it. If any of them haven’t got the bottle, change it. No time to dwell.
-
Press, aggression, calm. Need to win this half is all
-
Green off and Kodjia on?
-
Our attacking play has so many ways of improving. Theirs has "win more throw-ins".
-
Dean to blame for such a crap line up.
Come on Villa!
-
I can see Davis coming on and heading in a winner.
Now that would be wonderful
-
Albert offers nothing off the bench but he's disciplined as a starter and offers some defensive protection.
-
Green needs hooking at HT. Played first half with 10 men. Only realised he was on the pitch each time he fucked up ANOTHER cross 🤬
-
Our attacking play has so many ways of improving. Theirs has "win more throw-ins".
Unless our's does, their's won't have to.
-
Dean to blame for such a crap line up.
Come on Villa!
Harsh
Not that many options TBH
-
Let's not panic.
We were pretty downhearted at half time on Saturday, and look how that turned out.
This lot are shit, our failing is that we haven't made enough of our possession.
-
Green needs hooking at HT. Played first half with 10 men. Only realised he was on the pitch each time he fucked up ANOTHER cross 🤬
I’d give Tammy 10 mins and if no improvement, I’d hook him for Kodj too
-
No HT changes.
-
Green has looked lively coming on, but that's always the concern when you start him.
-
Let's not panic.
We were pretty downhearted at half time on Saturday, and look how that turned out.

This.
It's not like they are battering us.
-
Albert offers nothing off the bench but he's disciplined as a starter and offers some defensive protection.
Which isn’t much when you’re a striker
-
Not a chance would I hook Tammy.
-
Here we go, let's do these tramps.
-
I would be thinking about Kodja on for Green around 60 mins if it's still 1-0. I'm weirdly confidant they will tire 2nd half but if we concede another stupid long throw i'm hiding behind the sofa
-
Dean to blame for such a crap line up.
Come on Villa!
Harsh
Not that many options TBH
Very harsh. perfectly fine line up.
-
Is it just me or does the commentary appear unbelievably biased?
-
Second commentator is Andy Hinchcliffe. Didn't see the first.
-
Let's not forget they got one shitty chance on Saturday and so far they've done the same tonight.
-
The one complaint I have about Smith is that he leaves the changes too late.
-
1,603 fouls. Zero bookings.
-
Johansen must've committed about 10 fouls over two games, still no booking.
-
Not booking him yet?!
-
We are playing with fire doing all these stupid passes near our box.
-
Dirty fuckers
-
Can the manager go to the ref's dressing room at half-time to have a word?
-
Bit better
-
Fucking ****** of a ball
-
The referee clearly buying into the Jack Grealish is a diver bollox
-
I can see Davis coming on and heading in a winner.
Now that would be wonderful
And unlikely
-
Oh Andre
-
I just don't get what people see in Green.
-
Two handed push. No foul. Ta, ref.
-
Tammy down
-
Green's mind melts as soon as he gets near the box
-
Green is Taylor
-
Green just has zero confidence.
-
Think Kodjia and Albert need to come on.
-
Green needs hooking asap
-
Villa need to show a bit of class here, rise above this, Albion are prepared to bludgeon there way through this, Come on Villa sure we can do this.
-
I quite like Green but he's having a mare so far tonight.
-
Time for Kienan to become a hero
-
Green is Taylor
Just not Ian Taylor....
-
I quite like Green but he's having a mare so far tonight.
He is such a confidence player and tonight there is zero
-
Tammy is doing my head in, he's constantly moaning and is physically weak.
-
We’ve got to hope some water revitalises El Ghazi...
He's a very delicate flower. Balls of an eunuch.
-
Jesus, we look a bit dodgy on crosses.
-
McGinn’s two worst games for us?
-
Oh fuck and it’s a throw in.
-
Just a matter of time. We look a busted flush.
-
Fuck me
-
The co-commentator is really doing my nut in.
-
We're a mess, make some changes DS!
-
Ffs shambolic
-
Jesus fucking Cock.
-
JESUS CHRIST GET A FUCKING GRIP
-
Change it now! We are going out!!
-
Has Jack touched the ball yet this half?
-
It looks like they are more up for the battle than we are.
-
Jesus Christ, wake the fuck up Villa
-
McGinn has been rubbish.
-
ffs Villa.
-
Fucking hell Steer you twat r
-
WTF?!
-
Sloppy by Steer. We might be approaching next goal the winner territory.
-
We are absolutely shitting ourselves here.
-
Fucking awful at the moment
-
Jesus Christ, what the fuck are you doing.
-
We need a calm head in there.
-
This is a team bottling it.
-
Abysmal start to the half. They look much more up for it than us.
-
Wake up Villa FFS
-
We are fucking rattled.
-
Come on villa, get a grip of this.
-
Looking like a second soon
-
Make some fucking changes already.
-
Get a fucking grip!
-
Players seem fucking lost.
-
Playing football in the wrong half!! Come on before we out of it completely.
-
The co-commentator is really doing my nut in.
He's not even trying to hide it!
-
This is fucking garbage.
-
Okay, so we've got worse since half time.
-
Difficult to name one Villa player who’s having a good game.
-
WTF is with all the fannying around on the edge of the box?
We've done so much of that the last few months.
-
Dean make a change FFS
-
It just keeps coming back at us.
-
Mile warming up
-
F*cking sloppy again in our last third!
-
Mings struggling with his calf again.
-
Mings done for?
-
Are we trying to lose this?!
-
Get a grip Dean the team are looking for direction
-
We are worse this half.
Freshen it up Dean
-
WAYYYYY a yellow card at last
-
Fucking hell! What are you doing?!
-
Johansen booked after his 101st late challenge.
-
653,201 fouls. ONE booking.
-
He's not lost his cards then.
-
At fucking last!
-
Refs yellow just fell out his pocket
-
I wonder if DS is holding back on making a change with the chance of extra time in mind?
-
Hope Dean doesn’t wait too long or the game will be beyond us.
-
Next goal the winner.
-
Their bullying approach is working. Ref letting them
-
Dean giving it the big one before the match was always going to bite us on the arse.
-
I wonder if DS is holding back on making a change with the chance of extra time in mind?
Pretty sure the new rules say you can make a 4th sub in extra time now.
We won't even get there way this is going.
-
We’ve been awful.
-
I feel sick.
-
I think we’ve weathered the storm, so now come on Villa! Uh oh a set piece
-
Smith needs to change it before we concede another
-
We are worse this half.
Freshen it up Dean
He might be thinking of extra time and that.
-
I wonder if DS is holding back on making a change with the chance of extra time in mind?
Pretty sure the new rules say you can make a 4th sub in extra time now.
We won't even get there way this is going.
Only thing that makes sense to me as this isn't even close to working so far.
-
FFS get green and Tammy off !!! Nothing is sticking up front!?!!
-
The fucking albion should be embarrassed by this
-
Need to change. Second coming
-
Why wait for another goal from them to change it!!! Come on Deano-it ain’t happening so change it. We are being bullied .
-
I wonder if DS is holding back on making a change with the chance of extra time in mind?
Pretty sure the new rules say you can make a 4th sub in extra time now.
We won't even get there way this is going.
Only thing that makes sense to me as this isn't even close to working.
Freshen things up in final third (we really need it), get a goal and we can still avoid heart attack period which ET would be.
-
If he is planning to make a change, he needs to be making it NOW.
-
We are worse this half.
Freshen it up Dean
He might be thinking of extra time and that.
We won't get there if he doesn't show some metal, Albions time now and we are holding on.
-
Can’t keep giving these fuckers corners. It’s gonna come unraveled any second now.
-
Tammy and Green off, Kodj and Davis on please.
-
Shit the bed, what the fuck are they doing at the back?
-
Are we trying to lose?
-
Looks to me as if we’re bottling it
-
Tammy and Green off, Kodj and Davis on please.
This
-
We will lose this if we don’t shift this momentum.
-
Fucking hell!
-
Shit the bed, what the fuck are they doing at the back?
The bare minimum.
-
McGinn has been fucking dire.
-
This is fuckin horrible. The game is opening up but we're just not stepping up our game.
-
Fuck me.
-
Baggies could not have hand-picked a ref that's better suited to their tactics.
-
Fucking hell this ref is fucking woeful
-
REFEREE
-
Another fuck up
-
This ref is from fucking Tipton.
-
Jesus Mary, change something NOW
-
Fucking hell
-
Arrrrrrrrghhhhhhh
-
Just a matter of time ...........
-
Referee!
-
Crying out for a Glen Whelan. Midfield is offering nothing.
-
What the fuck are they playing at???
-
Its 2-2, we will get our chance, we have to have the players on that are mentally capable to take the chance, punch drunk now.
-
I feel like there's a bad bounce in this game somewhere. A dodgy deflection, a slip. But you have to pressurise to make those happen and they're doing that.
-
The ref has let everything go tonight. Given us nothing. Hanging on here.
-
Mistake after mistake, just a matter of time before we fuck it up.
-
Our passing back to front has been awful.
Hopefully WBA will hit the wall at 70th minute like on Saturday. We need to make some flipping changes though!
-
We are playing the ball out of defence with all the assured confidence of Long John Silver at an ice rink.
-
Fucking hell
-
Brunt booked the ******
-
How the hell are those two grabs on McGinn not a foul on the edge of the area?
-
This is fucking unbelievable. KICK IT UP FRONT TO OUR BIG MAN!
-
Fucking changes dean!
-
Lucky that wasn't their second
-
To be fair, the ref is shite.
-
Brunt booked so two of their CMs on yellows. Would drop Jack a little deeper to pick up the ball.
-
We need to get out of this shit heap of a league
-
Get a grip Dean.
-
What the fuck are we doing gifting the ball away right in front of our goal?
-
FOR FUCKS SAKE CHANGE SOMETHING
-
Brunt is lucky as Hell to be on the pitch.
-
Stop fucking passing it out of the fucking back.
-
Brunt booked so two of their CMs on yellows. Would drop Jack a little deeper to pick up the ball.
Be nice if he got the ball anywhere.
-
We’re getting bullied here - no protection from the ref. Edit Yellow for Brunt at last.
-
Brunt looks like he’s got an IQ of 40.
-
wtf is going on, keep on like this and we are out
-
Made for Kodj, this. Need to give their centre backs something else to worry about.
-
Another fuck up
-
Make a fucking change you utter twat.
-
That was a red.
-
Looking like a Steve Bruce side at the moment
-
We’re as bad as we were in our mid season dip,
-
This is fucking ridiculous.
-
Brunt looks like he’s got an IQ of 40.
He's good friends with Gabby isn't he? Can imagine the in depth conversations they have.
-
That should've been a red for me, awful challenge.
-
Starting to think we’re only gonna get out of this shithole of a league by getting automatic.
Another false dawn I fear.
-
This is going to be our worst half.
-
FInally an effort on goal!
-
I’ll be astonished if we get out of this. One way now.
-
Currently digging our own grave
-
ffs change it Deano
-
We suddenly look like the team we have been for the last 5 years
-
Bit more like it. COYVB.
-
Diabolical tackle on McGinn. Ref is a gutless prick. Need to go two up top
-
The only crumb of comfort is that's it's miraculously still 2-2.
-
He must realise with such a performance in such a game brings his tenure at the club into question
-
The decision making here is terrible. We are falling apart and a few look like they don't really fancy it to be honest.
-
Make a fucking change.
-
If it was boxing Albion would be ahead on points on the judges scorecards.
-
Is green actually playing.
-
The fucking albion should be embarrassed by this
Why? They've stuck to the job for 65 minutes, they might be lacking up front but they've bossed us. Obviously helped by the ref. The cards now might calm the fuckers down.
-
He must realise with such a performance in such a game brings his tenure at the club into question
Have a word.
-
He must realise with such a performance in such a game brings his tenure at the club into question
Eh?
-
I can't believe this Villa team looks scared shitless.
-
Considering that this could be Jack’s last game in a Villa shirt, I want to see him take this game by the scruff of the neck and show that it means as much to him as it does to us.
-
We'll win.
-
He must realise with such a performance in such a game brings his tenure at the club into question
Oh shut up.
-
Morrison coming on for Johansen.
-
I’ve always hated the play offs because of this.
Either do it automatically or don’t bother.
-
Get JK on for Green
-
We look like amateurs in the back 5.
-
20 plus added left, it's Villa time!!
-
Morrison coming on for Johansen.
Stefan Johansen: the shithouse's shithouse.
-
He must realise with such a performance in such a game brings his tenure at the club into question
Eh? Do what?
-
If it was boxing Albion would be ahead on points on the judges scorecards.
If it were boxing we are right royally on the ropes and about to hit the deck
-
Get Kodj on.
-
I'm not surprised they've dominated - they were behind and had the second leg at their place - but the extent to which we've let them is really disappointing.
-
If it was boxing Albion would be ahead on points on the judges scorecards.
If it was boxing, we would be stood there with our arms behind our back and dangling our chin out at the moment.
-
Can't believe Green is still on. He has been a total passenger.
I'm not sure who has been more cowardly...the referee or 70% of our players.
Some one needs to step up & make themselves a Hero.
-
Morrison coming on for Johansen.
Stefan Johansen: the shithouse's shithouse.
He was a decent player at Fulham but does seem sole tactic asked of him over these games was to kick Grealish off the pitch.
Finally Kodjia is coming on.
-
Co-commentator spot on criticising subs for being unprepared to come on. Unprofessional.
-
Get JK on for Green
Yep - he can also take penalties if we get that far.
-
This is a shambles. They're missing their best player and have a nobody as a manager.
-
20 plus added left, it's Villa time!!
yep that's my thinking.
-
Seems Albert is coming on, wrong player to come on for me.
-
He must realise with such a performance in such a game brings his tenure at the club into question
You should hang your head in shame.
-
If it was boxing Albion would be ahead on points on the judges scorecards.
If it were boxing we are right royally on the ropes and about to hit the deck
Eh?
Have I missed 3 goals?
Last time I checked it was only 1-0 and we've had double the possession of that shower of shit.
-
Embarrassing by Green
-
Yellow card for winning the ball. About right from this ref.
-
The way it's going for Andre if he was still on for pens they'd twat one against the crossbar it would rebound to where our players are standing, hit Green and go in
-
Please take Green off, it's like we're playing with 10 men.
-
Embarrassing by Green
I’ve been willing him on to do well but yes that was shit and it’s time for him to go
-
Taylor comes alive!
-
Embarrassing by Green
The game was too big for him
-
Albert? Hmmm.
-
75th minute before a change, poor.
This Harper kid coming on for Matt Phillips.
-
At last
-
A long overdue substitution
-
Should have been JK for me.
-
Fucking hell
-
Albion have been far better in transitional play than us all night. Getting men back and forward in numbers when needed.
-
Jed Steer terrifies me on the ball and from crosses.
-
I wonder if Elmo and AEG will be ok for extra time after fasting? If it goes that far obv.
-
We’re so fucking aimless.
-
Jed Steer terrifies me on the ball and from crosses.
He's been nervous as fook tonight but generally he's been good for us this season.
-
I can barely watch this.
-
Corner. Come on now.
-
Mings is so cool.
-
Come on Mings bullet a header in.
-
Tammy has been awful...a proper shithouse!
-
Bad day. Popped into Chiquitos for the cheap Taco tuesday offer, but after an hour and a half no fucking tacos and had to go before eating to pick up the kids. Got home and the cat had shat on the mat. Cleaned it up and whilst doing it Albion scored.
Sort it out Villa.
-
Another brilliantly worked corner....
-
Our corners have been absolute filth this game, what are they playing at?
-
GET Fucking moving.
-
Brunt clatters SJM again
-
BRUNT SENT OFF.
-
Brunt off
-
Brunt off, c'mon!!!!
-
A short corner...just what we need.
-
Haha ******
-
If we lose this game now....
-
Our corners have been fucking awful.
-
They fell hook line and sinker for our perfect game plan.
-
Holy fuck!
-
RED! YEs!
-
At last. Great work by SJM.
-
BRUNT SENT OFF.
About time
-
We’re so fucking aimless.
Wide areas are such a weak area for us going forward. Brunt just gone for another terrible tackle.
-
I didn't think the ref would give it.
-
How long before the ref levels things and sends Mings off?
-
Come on now Villa!
-
Fuck off you Stripey scumbag.
-
Ref will send one of our off in sympathy
-
Now come on Villa and get this done in normal time.
-
Brunt off, for his fifth yellow.
-
Freekick wasted
-
Fuck off Tammy, that was absolute shite.
-
Overdue red
-
Put the fucking ball in the fucking net!
-
11 vs 11 now.
-
Why don’t we let Hourihane take the free kicks?
-
Brunt off, c'mon!!!!
He has been sent off. Nobody can c'mon. ;)
-
Abraham?! What the actual fuck?
-
Albion bringing on a defender
-
Why the bloody hell didn’t Hourihane take that??????????????
-
Glimmer of light now, let's make it pay.
-
Why didn’t Conor take that for fuck sake
-
We basically at worst have 40 minutes v 10 men to score a goal to get us through to the final. Got 3 changes still to make.
Mind you I thought all this when Odoi got sent off in the final when we still had 25 minutes left and we barely had a shot.
WBA taking off Murphy and sticking on another defender so they're playing for penalties now.
-
Fuck off Abraham.
-
This WBA PA sounds such a knob.
-
Abraham?? Every decision we’ve made in this game has been bizzare
-
Was that not just made for Conor?
-
Conor hit the wall with the one he took earlier iirc
-
They will just stick 9 behind the ball now. We have to make the man advantage count.
-
Abraham?? Every decision we’ve made in this game has been bizzare
Absolutely what the hell is going on? We’ve somehow made the wrong call at every single point.
-
Why did Tammy take that?
-
This WBA PA sounds such a knob.
Yeah it's like Cosmic John's Atomic Disco isn't it.
-
Jesus Christ Jack, what on earth was that.
-
Abraham?? Every decision we’ve made in this game has been bizzare
Yep, virtually every single one. Bielsa will be licking his lips.
-
‘Why didn’t Hourihane take the free kick?’
-
This WBA PA sounds such a knob.
Yeah it's like Cosmic John's Atomic Disco isn't it.
Boogaloo. Get down.
-
This WBA PA sounds such a knob.
Doesn't he do the darts?
-
Right, take a PROPER corner.
-
This WBA PA sounds such a knob.
Yeah it's like Cosmic John's Atomic Disco isn't it.
Boogaloo. Get down.
Coming in yer ears.
-
WBA to qualify for final is 7/4 for anyone who wants to get down and dirty.
-
It’s as if Smith has said “whatever you do, don’t score”
-
Good ball Conor
-
‘Why didn’t Hourihane take the free kick?’
They'll be talking about that long after people have stopped caring why Barry didn't take the penalty...
-
2 shots on target all night, poor.
-
We will get turned inside out in premier league playing like this. And fuck the Albion.
-
WBA to qualify for final is 7/4 for anyone who wants to get down and dirty.
Damo! Get all over that, please!
-
Crap short corners are boiling my brain
-
No bastard luck.
-
so close
-
Finally a decent shot, good save Johnstone.
-
Fuuuuuck.
-
Fucking come on Villa
-
Taylor is awful.
-
Thought we had scored. Bastard Johnstone. 😫
-
Albert should have buried that.
-
Steady Villa - remember the brief
-
another save
-
FFS El Ghazi
-
Fuck - great save Johnston
-
Albert should have buried that.
Definately..fell to the wrong man.
-
wide
-
Albert you utter div
-
Whatever happens we need at least one new winger even if we keep AAG.
-
I'm a wreck.
-
Johnstone keeping them in this at the moment
-
Oh fuck el ghazi should have buried that
-
Adomah has been really good tbf
-
Please, nothing stupid. ET will do
-
5 mins added
-
We really need to score, Johnstone is getting decent practice for a penalty shoot out. No idea if Steer is any good at saving them.
-
5 mins extra time. Get down.
-
corner
-
We really need to score, Johnstone is getting decent practice for a penalty shoot out. No idea if Steer is any good at saving them.
Didn't he win us a league cup shoot out the other year?
-
Play a short corner, I double dare you muthafucker.
-
don't get excited about the corner
-
5 mins added time. The bastard Albion are going to score aren't they?
Sorry about that post. I will admit I had a wobble and bottled it in the last moments of normal time. ;)
-
I really hate our corners.
-
My nerves are completely fried.
-
Too many short corners....
We're finally playing with the tempo that was lacking from the first minute. Surely we can score sometime in next 30 minutes?
-
Play a short corner, I double dare you muthafucker.
They are clearly under orders
-
Saved one against Wednesday
-
These short corner di my head in.
And oh good, a free kick into our box
-
Corners are gash.
-
Saved one against Wednesday
Fair enough. Just wonder if they'd be temptation with Kalinic given he's nearly 7ft.
-
I can’t see us doing this
-
FT We go again for another 30 mins.
-
Fucking shoot you boring bastards.
-
Every ball in is terrible
-
Extra time.
Terrible performance. We can still get through but really head in hands stuff for most of the 90 tonight.
-
Looking stronger now we are playing 10 men. COME ON YOU VILLA BOYS.
-
Losing a penalty shoot-out to this bunch of fuck...I just can't countenance it. Let's win this fucking thing, Villa.
-
Our crossing has been appalling.
-
These corners... I’m not a football technician but what are we actually trying to achieve with them?
-
Half an hour's more fun to follow.
-
Fucking shoot you boring bastards.
Unbelievable. Elmo had two opportunities to shoot and didn’t. Crazy
-
Calling Jimmy Danger.
-
We’ll probably give ‘em a penalty.
-
I wouldn’t fancy us tonight if it went to penalties. Got to do it now Villa.
-
To be honest I was praying for extra time there as I could see those bastards scoring from a set piece
-
Ironically, all their shithousing has kept us in this.
-
Dreadful performance, really poor. Now make up for it in these 30 mins.
-
SBT.
-
WBA have one change left, they will surely put Montero on to give him an outlet. Remember that six month period when he was ripping it up for Swansea.
We've got to roll the dice, get Kodj and Davis on for whoever. We need one goal ffs.
-
My nerves are completely fried.
Me too
I’ve been to Rotterdam and Highbury and I don’t remember being this nervous
-
Fucking shoot you boring bastards.
Unbelievable. Elmo had two opportunities to shoot and didn’t. Crazy
I know what the hell was that all about?
Still, extra time. We'll do them.
-
We're playing anti-football merchants. Way too negative stuff in here. We will win this
-
To be honest I was praying for extra time there as I could see those bastards scoring from a set piece
Same.
-
We’ll win.
Set piece because from open play we’ve been abysmal.
-
Our crossing has been appalling.
Along with our general play
-
Amazing, we actually lost to that lot on 90 minutes.
-
This is going to be the death of me
-
We’ll win.
Set piece because from open play we’ve been abysmal.
Agreed. Our set pieces have been marginally less abysmal.
-
There is more chance of us fucking up at the back and gifting them another goal than us actually scoring.
-
These corners... I’m not a football technician but what are we actually trying to achieve with them?
Create a better angle for the cross........I think
-
My nerves are shot.
-
Fucking hell. I can't take much more of this.
-
Amazing, we actually lost to that lot on 90 minutes.
Not based on that performance, we were embarrassing.
-
This is going to be the death of me
Me too. I've got 999 on speed dial.
-
One thing that is nailed on now is that Green is nowhere near good enough for that Villa shirt. Even more abysmal than usual tonight.
-
Stop being fucking shite Villa.
-
This is horrible
-
Corners are gash.
Crosses are worse, aimlessly pumping it into the middle to Tammy surrounded by 5 Albion centre backs.
-
We've been pretty shit, and we're away from home and had twice as much possession, more shots, more on target and more corners. Which says a lot about West Brazil.
-
There is more chance of us fucking up at the back and gifting them another goal than us actually scoring.
They've hardly got anyone up front now (Rodriguez is in midfield) so would be a major one to let them score another.
Still no more changes....
-
A very nervy evening. And still more to come. Fucking come on, Villa!
-
Not sure where the confidence comes from. At the moment I see them securing a stalemate or a winner from a set piece. Not normally negative but just can’t see the spark.....
-
Come on we've got back on top of them, we can put this to bed and finish them, they've spent a lot of energy.We can do this, come on Villa boys.
-
We’re so aimless and devoid of invention.
-
Get Kodj on. Now
-
Do something please Jack.
-
Think our route up is not via shit show of playoffs.
-
That PA twat does sound like the bloke who introduces the darts.
-
WBA have one change left, they will surely put Montero on to give him an outlet. Remember that six month period when he was ripping it up for Swansea.
We've got to roll the dice, get Kodj and Davis on for whoever. We need one goal ffs.
No point whatsoever having Taylor out there
Kodjia and Davis on with Taylor and Abraham off. Put Adamoah out left wing back
Big call to take top scorer off but he has been bullied throughout this tie
-
When is Jimmy Danger coming on?
-
If we can't win this with 11 v 10 we don't deserve it. This is our full strength squad and they are shit.
-
Amazing, we actually lost to that lot on 90 minutes.
We're you watching? The amount of times we literally passed them the ball near our box was frightening. We are quite fortunate to still be in this IMO.
-
This is going to be the death of me
Me too. I've got 999 on speed dial.
So has everyone else 😉
-
Albion making a change, Rodriguez off
-
At least that cheating bastard hasn't scored.
-
I accept we will be tired too but if we can't beat a tired ten men in a thirty minute game we don't deserve to reach the final.
-
Albion making a change, Rodriguez off
Good sign.
-
No fresh legs? I honestly don't understand what Smith is doing.
-
Leko on for our friend Rodriguez.
He's a decent penalty taker so that's one less option for them in worst case scenario (Brunt would've taken one aswell I'm sure).
We've got to win this in the next 30. Johnstone will probably go mad and save three of ours.
-
I accept we will be tired too but if we can't beat a tired ten men in a thirty minute game we don't deserve to reach the final.
This. Get Kodja on Dean!
-
corner
-
We'll win. Taylor from a short corner.
-
Yippee another corner.
-
My nerves are shot away. Come on villa. Win in et
-
Sloppy, but handball.
-
Deliberate hand ball is now not a booking?
-
We never seem to have much idea how to play v ten men. Were clueless v Fulham in the final and also didn't beat Forest when we were actually leading and they were down to 10 in the crazy 5-5.
-
Our passing has been utterly dire all night.
-
We never seem to have much idea how to play v ten men. Were clueless v Fulham in the final and also didn't beat Forest when we were actually leading and they were down to 10 in the crazy 5-5.
Rotherham
-
Christ almighty.
-
How are they still getting all the run of the ball with ten men?
-
Is Abraham still on the pitch?
-
Awful, fucking awful.
-
Jack handball
-
Come on Jack for fuck sake!
-
We never seem to have much idea how to play v ten men. Were clueless v Fulham in the final and also didn't beat Forest when we were actually leading and they were down to 10 in the crazy 5-5.
Rotherham
Good comeback but a relegated team. We never seem able to stretch a decent organised side when they go down to 10 unless I've missed a very obvious example in last year.
-
Make another change, chuck some fresh legs at them.
-
We look more knackered than them. Make a bloody sub.
-
Change coming up, Kod it seems.
-
Is Abraham still on the pitch?
That's a good point. I genuinely thought he'd been subbed!
-
Who came on for Abraham?
Albion are utterly knackered here.
-
Kodjia is finally coming on. Another penalty taker at least.
-
Looks like it’s time for Kodj but I’d rather see Davis for this
-
Aimless shite. We look absolutely clueless.
-
FFS, still dire.
-
This has been fucking dire
-
Kodjia is finally coming on. Another penalty taker at least.
Do we have to go there already?
-
Lack of pace, movement and passing.
AEG off for Kod.
-
El Ghazi subbed.
-
fucks sake tammy
-
Ffs Tammy hit it!
-
Finally.
-
AEG did well tonight.
-
Struggling to remember tammy’s last good game:
-
Are all our players celebrating Ramadan at the moment?
-
This is taking years of my life expectancy...
-
Have we got the wrong studs on? Haven't seen them slip over once.
-
No tempo, no idea, fuckin shit. Playing us like a kipper and we look shit scared. Need someone with the noodle or going out with many regrets.
-
Such a lack of quality when it matters tonight.
-
AEG did well tonight.
Yep best starter for me by miles.
-
This is taking years of my life expectancy...
Me too and I’m 60 on Saturday so that’s not good!
-
Not much of a treat for the neutrals looking in
-
When was our last penalty shootout and how did it go?
-
Has Dean left it too late with his subs? They look like they're wading through treacle.
-
AEG did well tonight.
Your fridge or oven?
-
This is taking years of my life expectancy...
Me too and I’m 60 on Saturday so that’s not good!
Happy Birthday for Saturday
-
I've just suddenly become aware of what this game means. Oh dear, I don't feel too good.
-
Come on use your intelligence FFS
-
No tempo, no idea, fuckin shit. Playing us like a kipper and we look shit scared. Need someone with the noodle or going out with many regrets.
Half tempted to put Whelan on, he might at least shout at a few to wake up.
-
They have lowered us to their level. They tried and almost succeeded at the weekend. They’ve done it tonight.
-
HT, 15 mins to get this done.
-
I'd rather have Johnstone than Steer for a shoot out.
-
Hourihane has forgotten how to pass, ffs.
-
Villa, 91% possession in extra time, they're not even in the game.
-
Our third shit half, a new record.
-
Even with 30 secs to go we couldn't get a decent ball in.
-
Only 15 minutes left now, could be our last of the season as feels like another promotion is slipping through our hands.
Leeds will be well happy watching this. Playing a WBA team without Gayle, Brunt etc or us who've looked really poor.
-
When was our last penalty shootout and how did it go?
Bolton. We won
-
We're going to lose on pens aren't we.
-
I'd rather have Johnstone than Steer for a shoot out.
Oh please don't say things like that.
-
Amazing to have 91% possession and not look at all threatening.
-
Abraham has been utterly shit all game.
-
So so so poor. 89% possession and produced fucking nothing. Terrible.
-
Come on fucks! It only takes a minute girl!
-
One moment of magic coming up
-
Penalty shoot out... we all know the headline with Sam... 😑
-
We're going to lose on pens aren't we.
Everybody knows it
-
Please please not penalties
-
Davis please. Need a target man for another option.
-
Embarrassingly devoid of quality.
-
We're going to lose on pens aren't we.
Yes.
-
This is just horribly laboured. If we can't score one goal against this 10 man team in 40 minutes we won't deserve to go through.
-
When was our last penalty shootout and how did it go?
Bolton. We won
If you mean the cup semi final that was 2000 so nearly 20 years ago. We won at Sunderland in 2009.
-
I won't be able to sleep tonight. I'm bloody shaking all over here.
-
Please please not penalties
this
-
They’ll fucking win this.
-
Taylor has been shit. I've never seen a more plodding full back.
He's got to bring the big goalie on for the pens.
-
Abraham has been utterly shit all game.
I agree get Kienan on
Except that Tammy takes a good penalty 😳
-
If this goes to penalties, we’re fucked. They have our old keeper between the sticks who will have spent a season facing our boys in training - Hope I’m wrong, but have a feeling it’s written for Johnson to be the hero.
-
Pull them to the wing, create space then switch it quickly to exploit the space...why aren't we doing that?!
Too slow, ponderous and still very little to show for all our possession.
Please don't let this go to penalties.
-
As soon as it goes to penalties I'm switching off.
-
Penalty shoot out... we all know the headline with Sam... 😑
I couldn't help thinking that myself. I have aged about ten years in the last couple of hours watching this game.
-
If this is Grealish's last 15 minutes with us, on this showing I'd rather have the cash.
-
And here comes the time wasting
-
Davis please. Need a target man for another option.
Too late for that I suspect. Would take him 5-10 minutes to get in the game, WBA are just sitting on edge of the box and we'd probably have to take a penalty taker off.
If we end the game with Jedinak, Adomah, Kodjia, Tammy and Jack all still on the pitch there's your five penalty takers right there. Maybe Hourihane would fancy one given he's a set piece player.
WBA don't seem to have as many obvious ones looking at who's left on the pitch for them.
-
This has the air of inevitability all over it, our big players just don't seem to have turned up.
-
And here comes the time wasting
We were doing it in the first half!
-
Johnstone’s going to win it for them and be the hero of the game.
-
Adomah has been abysmal since he came on. Wouldn't be surprised if Jedinak comes on at some point. Think he took lots of penalties for Australia.
-
An idea, take a decent shot.....
-
There's a hero out there for us tonight, I can just feel it, we've got 15 minutes left, they're fucking holding on man, just one moment of quality or magic, please Villa, come on.
-
Continued shit.
-
Johnstone’s going to win it for them and be the hero of the game.
Like fuck is he.
-
They've just got one aim: penalty shootout.
-
Adomah has been abysmal since he came on. Wouldn't be surprised if Jedinak comes on at some point. Think he took lots of penalties for Australia.
Scored two in the WC and also a few for Palace so yes if DS has done his research he should be an 120th sub.
Based on DS management tonight he'll probably only be made aware of that in his post match interview. Not a good game for him tonight.
-
I said pre-match that the only team that could beat us was us, and that's how it's been so far. We've been below par all over the pitch.
Keinan coming on.
-
They've just got one aim: penalty shootout.
They've been shithousing all night but *any* side in their position would be aiming for a penalty shootout.
-
Get Abraham off, utterly, utterly abject tonight.
-
Tammy has been abysmal. Shoulder injury has knocked the stuffing out of him. Can see him missing in the shoot out.
Davis coming on.
-
Please at least on target
-
Rubbish, absolute rubbish. So slow and easy to defend against.
-
If we scrape through we’ll be an embarrassment at Wembley - again.
-
fucks sake
-
Nine minutes. Nine minutes before I have a coronary and the Baggies get through.
-
The end of our season is nigh...
-
The end of our season is nigh...
Blimey....
-
Aaaaaaaagh. I'm hating every second of this.
-
The way we’ve been shooting I don’t fancy our chances with penalties
-
Elmo off for KD
-
AEM coming off for Davis.
-
That's an attacking sub.
-
If we scrape through we’ll be an embarrassment at Wembley - again.
Yeah can't say we'd be in good shape with all our attackers out of form at the key stage of the season like last year.
Would still take my chances on the day though that everyone turns up.
Leeds will be loving this though. WBA are hardly going to put an 11 out if they make it.
-
This is so nervous..
-
over 20 shots and no fucking goal.
-
My heart's trying to get out through my ears, it feels like.
-
If we scrape through we’ll be an embarrassment at Wembley - again.
That's a load of rubbish.
-
We won't score. It's that kind of a night.
-

Leeds fans saying it's great as whoever wins will be knackered, thick fucks don't understand a calendar.
-
Apart from one save from Adomah I don't recall a decent chance even
-
we just aren't going to score before pens
-
Tammy has been atrocious.
-
Get out of the ducking way Abraham!
-
We will nick this.
-
We won't score. It's that kind of a night.
We don't deserve to tbh.
Just take a chance on penalties. We have enough competant penalter takers out there and can also add Jedinak.
If we miss 2-3 then yes mentally we weren't prepared properly for this.
-
Here comes another short corner.....
-
My heart's trying to get out through my ears, it feels like.
Mine's stopped.
-
Mings injured again, just get Jedinak on.
-
One of Tammy's worst games for us, he'll either hit a worldy pen or it will make Kevin Richardson look like Le Tissier.
-
Every single corner has been utter crap
-
Another 2 mins.
-
Football is an amazing spectable, but sometimes, it is utterly horrifying, isn't it?
-
All fart and no shit at moment
-
Oh dear SJM.
-
Mile coming on
-
14 corners. Actually harder not to produce a decent one with that quantity but we've managed it.
Jedinak coming on which at least is a smart move given his record for Australia.
-
Decision making all night has been woeful.
-
AT going off
-
Oh well, Wembley would have been shit and expensive anyway.
-
Words fail me.
-
Penalties it is.
-
What was the point of the unbeaten run?
-
Bloody hell to all of it
-
Ok, now i'm nervous.
-
Still shit...nothing to see here. Can’t believe how they have mugged us off....
-
Logic says as they have defended for over 40mins with 10 men they will have the desire for pens much more than us and we prob have not prepared for this scenario.
-
Horrendous
-
Boooooo!
-
Talk about fluffing your lines
-
It all comes to this...
-
I’m not feeling good about this
-
What was the point of the unbeaten run?
to test the strength of your heart i guess
-
We won't score. It's that kind of a night.
We don't deserve to tbh.
Just take a chance on penalties. We have enough competant penalter takers out there and can also add Jedinak.
If we miss 2-3 then yes mentally we weren't prepared properly for this.
How can you say we don't deserve it? We've been far the better team over 2 legs and the only one trying to play football.
-
Full time.
Terrible performance. Just hope we can take some decent penalties and Steer saves one or two.
Our five will be:
Jedinak
Adomah
Kodjia
Tammy (maybe not with how he's played though!)
Jack
I reckon.
Don't see many penalty takers with WBA. Remember Dawson taking a couple but they've hardly got any attacking players on the pitch.
-
Shocking stuff, we’ll lose on penalties and we’ve been fucking gash.
-
Penalties- the game has now swung in the Boggies favour
-
Oh fcuk...let's all hold each other's hands!
-
Come on Villa!!!! Let's fucking do them.
-
See you at Luton Town, folks.
-
What a shit game. We can’t complain whatever happens now.
-
Shocking stuff, we’ll lose on penalties and we’ve been fucking gash.
Deservedly lose too. Fuck this.
-
I fucking hate penalty shoot-outs. Unless they're against Tranmere
-
What a shit game. We can’t complain whatever happens now.
This.
-
Everything about this game has them winning this. We’ve been fucking hopeless.
-
Franksy and bomber brown heralding a victory for boggies heroic defence. Like MacArthurs medal of honour for defence of Philippines....,
-
We won't score. It's that kind of a night.
We don't deserve to tbh.
Just take a chance on penalties. We have enough competant penalter takers out there and can also add Jedinak.

How can you say we don't deserve it? We've been far the better team over 2 legs and the only one trying to play football.
Massively disappointed with how we've played tonight. Hardly any shots on target until the late flurry at the end of normal time.
-
What was the point of the unbeaten run?
If we fail, none.
-
Well that was truly wretched. Nerve wracking as it may be, and much as I'd hate to lose to this lot, I can't help saying that neither of these teams deserve to go through from these two games.
-
I can't take this.
For total domination, we have had so little cutting edge.
Please, Villa, come on.
-
Poor decision making all night, slow passing and no stand out performance from anyone all night.
-
Shocking performance. If we get through now we‘re lucky and if we go out we can’t complain.
-
I fucking hate penalty shoot-outs. Unless they're against Tranmere
Or Inter.
-
Positive fucking energy. Where’s the orange dot?
-
We look worryingly like we're choosing the takers now.
Shouldn't we have thought about that in the last few days?
-
We don't deserve to win Albion defended well.
-
Think I’m about to shit myself
-
Johnstone’s going to win it for them and be the hero of the game.
Like fuck is he.
Yip.
-
Keep the faith guys
-
We've got the better set of penalty takers, I can't believe how negative everyone is being. We haven't played well but have the chance here, get some fucking belief in the Villa instead of looking for every possible negative.
-
It's written in the stars for Johnstone to fuck us over.
We don't deserve to win really & playing like that wont beat Leeds anyway.
-
Yep, no way are we winning this
-
I think Davis just said 'I'm five'. Big call.
-
Pens at the Smethwick end
-
I bet we miss several
-
Taking penalties infront of Villa end.
-
I don't see us winning this with our former keeper in their goal.
-
I can’t watch
-
saved!!!!!!!
-
Well done Jed.
Now hopefully our players can do their jobs for once tonight.
Hourihane first up for us.
-
Yes!!!
-
Hotlips 1-0!!
-
It's written in the stars for Johnstone to fuck us over.
We don't deserve to win really & playing like that wont beat Leeds anyway.
As if Baggies do deserve it?
-
Get in!!
-
Hegazi saved 1-0
-
Yeeessssss!
-
come on villa
-
Hegazi next up, WBA got no attakcers to take their pens.
-
Mile 2-0!!!
-
C'mon Mile.
-
Have we all forgotten what a great penalty saver Jed is?!?
-
2-0!!
-
Some Baggie scores 1-2
-
I fucking love Jed Steer
-
2-1.
-
I’m bricking it here
-
This is the crucial one, c'mon Jack.
-
C'mon Jack, don't fuck it up.
-
Jack 3-1!!!!!
-
Yesssssss!
-
YEEESSSSS
-
Fucking cmon Villa!!!!!
-
Yes basically WBA need to score next two and us miss our two to get to sudden death.
-
Gibbs scores
-
3-2
-
FFS Albert, killing me mate
-
Albert....
-
FFS Albert....
-
Wanker.
-
Love Uncle Albert c’mon son
-
Knew he'd miss, the utter ******.
-
Morrison scores, shit the bed
-
Bye bye Albert
-
Fuck me
-
Not Tammy, would've had Kodj before him.
-
Tammy has been shit all night, course he's got the last one.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WEMBERLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
TAMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
-
Innnnnnn!!!!
-
Thank fuck
-
YEESSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Come on Villa
-
Fuck you Albion you negative ******, fucking get in
-
fuck!!! YES!!!!!!
-
Current heart rate according to Fitbit, 110!
-
Massively got away with that one.
Oh well let's hope we actually turn up for a Wembley final for once.
Franksy choking up nicely.
-
YAY!
-
GET THE FUCK IN!
-
Yes! Get in! Time to bash the credit card yet again!
-
Get the actual fuck in!!!!!!!!! Jed Steer I love you.
-
I’m going for a walk
-
TFFT
-
Never in doubt. Professional job, we knew what we were doing all along.
-
Yooooooooooooooooooooo beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
-
Yes yes yes yes yes
-
Jed Steer our hero
UP THE VILLA
-
I can't believe Albert took one he is fucking hopeless!
Tammy got lucky & so did we.
We'll take it but we need to improve loads!
-
I’m dead!
-
Unbelievable, cracked it, is this our watershed moment, terrible performance and we still do it. here we go, season still alive
-
Go home, boring Albion, go home, boring Albion
-
Thank goodness.
-
Well I will eat my words....
-
Just frightened my dog to death!!!
-
That final penalty might have bankrupted Albion, just as a bonus.
-
Scenes! (finally) ;)
UTV & FOWB
-
Jed steered us home.
Never in doubt.
-
That final penalty might have bankrupted Albion, just as a bonus.
Yep....its fucked them over. Great..!!!!
-
So has steer saved 3 of last 5 pens?
-
Fuck you Albion you negative dirty c***s, fucking get in
Ftfy. 10 men for a reason, twice.
-
Thank god that’s over.
-
Was Abraham lucky with his penalty? it seemed to go through the keeper.
-
A big fuck off to our shithouse neighbours, at least they've got the shit on the Villa derby to look forward too.
******.
-
Wes Edens on the pitch!
We deserved it over the two games.
-
Just screamed and frightened the neighbours
Yesssss !
Up The Villaaaaaa!
Thought sky sports were disappointed, by the very low key reaction to Tammy’s goal; thought he’d missed!
-
Welł, we got through, but we shouldn't have waited until pens, esp after they went down to 10. Wba defended as they needed to, and played better when they had 11 players.
Sort it out for the final. Please.
-
Wes Edens on the pitch!
We deserved it over the two games.
That was Pitarch wasn’t it?!?
-
Ha! Tyrone has just piled into the crowd for some lovin'. The Tesco stewards made him fuck off back onto the pitch after ten seconds.
-
Albion looked a very, very limited team. It was great.
-
I’m going for a walk
Had to read that twice.
-
Wes Edens on the pitch!
We deserved it over the two games.
That was Pitarch wasn’t it?!?
You might be right they both have the same hair colour and style don't they?
Winning on penalties after the opposition had a man sent off in both games. 'Typical Spawny Vilers' ha ha ha!
-
Wemberleeeeeeeeeeeee, Wemberleeeeeeee, we're the Famous Aston Villa and we're going to Wemberleeee
-
I’m going for a walk
Had to read that twice.
I had what you were thinking before the match. To relive pre match nerves!
-
Think I went through every emotion that it is possible to watching a football match last night.
Getting to sleep was fun wasn't it.......? My heart was going like the clappers til nearly 1am!
All worth it though..... We're off to Wemberleeeeeeeeeeeeeey!
-
