Hi, folks.
Again, if you could complete the questionnaire beneath it would be much appreciated - the finished article will then be provided in this topic early next week.
1. The game at the Hawthorns finished 2-2. What was your assessment of the game? Horrible Kit you were wearing.
2. WBA recently sacked Steve Clarke and appointed Pepe Mel. What were your thoughts on Clarke's sacking and the appointment of Pepe Mel? Obviously Peel Me is not English so an obvious improvement on Steve what a stupid name Clarke
3. Paul Lambert has been receiving some criticism from supporters. Is he still the right man for AVFC? WE will see.
4. Villa have signed Grant Holt and Ryan Bertrand. What are your opinions on these additions? Holt is a substantial addition.
5. Are there any other positions which need strengthening during January? The fence around West Bromwich.
6. Anelka has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons. What have you made of the situation? Does he warrant a suspension and for how long? It was an Old Black Country gesture, like thaputapigonthawalltawatchthabandguboy
7. If you were to form a side using Albion/Villa players - what would the side be? Lakaku would be good- titter
8. Which side shall win the league & which three sides shall be relegated? Boring

10. And finally, score predictions. Have a tener on a draw.
Thank you.
Hi, folks.
Again, if you could complete the questionnaire beneath it would be much appreciated - the finished article will then be provided in this topic early next week.
1. The game at the Hawthorns finished 2-2. What was your assessment of the game?
Missed the first goal as the stewards took so long searching us. We were crap until we made the double substitution, then all us until the last 10 minutes.
2. WBA recently sacked Steve Clarke and appointed Pepe Mel. What were your thoughts on Clarke's sacking and the appointment of Pepe Mel?
Seemed harsh sacking Clarke, he'd done a pretty good job. Think your chairman needs to actually spend some money for once. Pepe Mel did well with Betis, will see if he can work well in a different country.
3. Paul Lambert has been receiving some criticism from supporters. Is he still the right man for AVFC?
Hmm, hopefully. Did well getting rid of the dead wood from our squad (Ireland in particular). Think we need more experience, particularly in midfield and a centre-back would be useful.
4. Villa have signed Grant Holt and Ryan Bertrand. What are your opinions on these additions?
Bertrand should be good, have liked him for a while. Holt, adds cheating and experience, but not amazed by him.
5. Are there any other positions which need strengthening during January?
Centre-Back, defensive midfield and an attacking midfielder. I'm hopeful that our full-backs will look better with some cover in defensive midfield.
6. Anelka has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons. What have you made of the situation? Does he warrant a suspension and for how long?
I think he definitely deserves a suspension, if only to prove to him that he has done something wrong. I think more than 5 games would be harsh though.
7. If you were to form a side using Albion/Villa players - what would the side be?
Guzan, Olsson, Vlaar, Bertrand, Lowton, Mulumbu, Delph, Bacuna, Agbonlahor, Amalfitano, Benteke
8. Which side shall win the league & which three sides shall be relegated?
Man City probably, with Chelsea in second. Christ, anyone of about 12 crap sides. Palace always go down, Cardiff and Norwich. No idea how Swansea are below us.
9. What side is Paul Lambert likely to choose for our encounter?
Guzan, Vlaar, Clark, Bertrand, Lowton or Bacuna, Delph, Westwood, El Ahmadi, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Benteke
10. And finally, score predictions.
I'll go for 1-1, as we're shite at home
Thank you.

Hi, folks.

1. The game at the Hawthorns finished 2-2. What was your assessment of the game?
Game of 2 halves. Albion should have been out of sight mind.
2. WBA recently sacked Steve Clarke and appointed Pepe Mel. What were your thoughts on Clarke's sacking and the appointment of Pepe Mel?
Quite harsh though losing that bloke to the FA probably a big gap to fill. No idea re Mel. Then again the UK based options were limited
3. Paul Lambert has been receiving some criticism from supporters. Is he still the right man for AVFC?
As others state we have little choice. Villa is not an easy job under normal circumstances and we are not under such circumstances. The fact he isn't McLeish is no longer enough.
4. Villa have signed Grant Holt and Ryan Bertrand. What are your opinions on these additions?
Holt. Meh - sends out bad signal to Helenius and Bowery. Bertrand Good. Very Good in fact.
5. Are there any other positions which need strengthening during January?
Conservatively at least 3.
6. Anelka has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons. What have you made of the situation? Does he warrant a suspension and for how long?
He should have apologised immediately when the connatations became clear. Yep suspension is in order. No great loss. To anyone
7. If you were to form a side using Albion/Villa players - what would the side be?
Mid table
8. Which side shall win the league & which three sides shall be relegated?
Man Cit-eh. 3 from 11. Porbably Cardiff + Fulham + A.N. Other
9. What side is Paul Lambert likely to choose for our encounter?
The one v Liverpool team if all available
10. And finally, score predictions.
3-1
Thank you.
Thanks for the post Bad English - very informative. I can honestly say I didn't know anything about this 'gesture' before Anelka did it.
Those photos are quite shocking (the wanker doing it next to a waxwork model of Anne Frank particularly annoyed me). What surprises me is how widespread anti-Jewish sentiment seems to be in France, and by the looks of it not just amongst people of Arab descent. Whilst I often hear people in England criticising the Isreali government, it is thankfully rare to encounter anti-Jewish sentiment like that displayed in those photos.
We can all now await the WBA troll getting arsey after the game again, this poster has previous.

Quite the opposite. I've been fair, balanced and credited Villa when it's been worthwhile.
I certainly haven't been trolling otherwise your moderators would have banned me by now.

No. We beat the Baggies. Personally I'm going to gloat for all its worth. They dish it out well enough when it suits them.
I think for once, Call Me Franskey might just be worth listening to later.

Absolutely. If they'd have come back from 2 goals down to win, they'd be reminding us for weeks. Remember their pathetic tribute to Stan, their clapping in the 8th minute last season and take the piss to your hearts content.

He'll still say they've got the better team.

Fair enough. But it's a fine line between sarcasm and sounding like a tit. I can just see that quote posted ion their forums with a comment about how deluded we are. But point taken.

Hi
I'm from the Villa forum, H&V.
We are running a review article on last nights match and have a Q and A section interviewing a rival fan, if some of you could oblige?
The questions are:
1. How do ya like them apples?
Thanks in advance!
One of the best things about this forum thingy is being one eyed and taking the piss. Who ever said we have to present a fair and balanced view of our lesser known rivals. (The term rivals is used with a Bit of artistic licence)First goal from a speculative punt.

Agreed. But it was 4-3.Feck, typo...
Congratulations on your victory - no complaints from me.

Thanks for picking Lugano. He's awful, isn't he?
It's just as well Gabby wasn't playing, really.
You want a dependable defender next to Ron Vlaar. You can have Lugano if you want? Free transfer.
If Olsson spent as much time defending as he did moaning at the ref then maybe WBA would have got something out of the game
True. Both games about as far from the cliche of a dour local derby as it's possible to get.You want a dependable defender next to Ron Vlaar. You can have Lugano if you want? Free transfer.
Ha ha, nah, you're alright.
One thing I will say for both of these matches this season, there have been some truly belting goals. Brunt and Delph last night, Long (x2) and Westwood last time around, and two incredibly entertaining matches, too.
Last night there was some terrible defending from both sides, but what a spectacle it was.
My Baggies colleague took the view that Mel looks to have solved an issue and created a new one.
He couldn't understand why McAuley (sp?) was on the bench. He was happy enough with the performance and is looking forward to Mel getting used to the league with a few games under his belt.
He is a little bitter though. First thing he said was something about if both pen appeals/incidents happened at their place both decisions would be different.
To be honest, I've not seen both again so can't really comment.
Chuffed with the win. Great night, great goals, poor defending.
There was a fella on the radio floating the opinion that Lugano is playing because he is one of the few Spanish speakers in the squad so if the coach needs to get instructions carried out on the pitch quickly he can get it done. Makes sense as he surely couldn't be in any professional football team on ability alone.
Fair play to you for coming on here Liam Baggies, you must be hurting.
He's the Uruguay captain though isn't he. He can't be pants, just probably not suited to English football. He clearly has no pace, and if Mel is going to play this high line stuff then he won't be any good for them used that way.
If Olsson spent as much time defending as he did moaning at the ref then maybe WBA would have got something out of the game
His jinking run down our left was quite entertaining, like a hippo in a wig ice skating with Tucker from Grange Hill.
Fair play to you for coming on here Liam Baggies, you must be hurting.
Not really hurting that much. I half expected us after going 2-0 up to find some way of throwing it away. I expected a draw if anything but weren't expecting us to collapse like we did.
The four big decisions in the game Clattenberg got spot on - the penalty, Foster's tackle on Bemteke and our penalty claims which were quite rightly waved away.

Well done Liam, all the best.Fair play. There are quite a few Baggies fans who are blaming the result on the ref.
There's nothing to blame the referee about.
The only decision that could be deemed as controversial was whether Lugano was pulled to the ground in the second half after giving away the penalty. In my opinion, he realised he had cocked up and therefore tried to make amends by throwing himself to the ground. I thought Clatternberg had a good game last night.Liam seems a decent chap to me.
Cheers mate - I expect the abuse as I'm intruding on a Villa forum but out of respect and courtesy to the moderators who have been decent to me, I ignore the baiting.
Plus, I'd look a massive tit.

The amount of chat I've heard from Boggies over the past 12 or so hours about McAuley makes me think this guy is the love child of Bobby Moore and Franz Beckenbauer!
Oh and Liam, can you stop being so reasonable please. I really want to dislike you because of your footballing allegiances but your all round sensible behaviour is making it very, very difficult!!!!

Was that game 3-3 at half time as well? Memory may be playing tricks on me as I saw it on video years ago, was there a Brendan Ormsby goal?

Horrible fans. Every time they scored their fans ran towards the Villa fans in the lower North looking for trouble. The sooner that club are relegated back to where they belong the better.

Worse than small heath for that. And a lot of them were proper 30+ year old blokes, not kids. Even running from the back of the stand to join in the rush towards us. A rush it should be added that was so intent on reaching us that a few stewards stopped them with relative ease. Sad twats.

Spot on. Their fans seemed so bitter and angry. Decades of pent-up frustration of looking up at the Villa with envious eyes. Jealousy is horrible thing.
It was mighty fine watching their fans stream out at the end with their tails firmly lodged in between their legs.

One thing I have noticed about their support in the past two seasons is that they're a lot more arrogant/cocky/up for it walking down Witton Lane beforehand. They've started to believe their own hype.

Pretty sure Brendan got the winner
From where I was in the upper Holte, they were "vociferous" at 0-2 but not so much at 1-2 and definitely not at 4-3
Horrible fans. Every time they scored their fans ran towards the Villa fans in the lower North looking for trouble. The sooner that club are relegated back to where they belong the better.
Their support was shit. Lots of noise when 1 and 2 up (not surprisingly) and then nothing when we made it 2-1 onwards until their third. And then fuck all once we were ahead again. They knew what they were for all of 8 minutes and then conveniently forgot the words to that song for the next 80 minutes.
Must be really hard for them to have their dreams and aspirations of finishing above us fading. Even more so to realise what they actually are, always have been, and always will be.
Putting myself in their shoes, it must be infuriating to have played us twice this year, gone 2 up inside 12 minutes at home, and then 2 up inside 8 minutes away from home, only to wind up taking 1 point from 6.
It's almost like they have some form of cultural cringe going on, where all their insecurity kicks in and they go to pieces with the excitement of taking something from the big club up the road.

Spoke with a mate of mine who has followed the Olbiun with the same passion as I do the Villa for 40 years and pointed out to him that if they could just let go of the inferiority complex they might actually enjoy their lives more. He is an honest and decent bloke and admitted that there is a core of Olbiun who have always hated us more than anyone else and would accept relegation if it meant beating us. They hate us more than they love their own team.How many other teams have 2 local teams with fans that hate us more than they love their own team?
Now forget them and let them rot...
that's a brilliant story Paul.1983.

IIRC that is right.
I was absolutely gutted to miss this game but it was my sister's wedding that day and I was giving her away so couldn't get out of it. Lots of nerves in the church (from me about the footie, no idea about my sis) but one of my cousins had a pocket radio so we knew the result before the first beer of the day. Chuffed.
Funnily enough her second wedding is tomorrow, hot on the heels of this 4-3 win. . I should ask her to remarry every time we play the Boggies...

It's all just posturing though isn't it, not many are seriously up for trouble.
