Sorry but why do we bother looking at their fan websites?
I don't think they battered us in the first half. They had more chances overall, and were probably the better side. "Battered us", though? Nah. Plus the highlights neglect to show Snodgrass' missed header just before half-time.

Nah. Plus the highlights neglect to show Snodgrass' missed header just before half-time.Which was obviously offside and handballed anyway which the bribed ref or dirty Villa linesman didn't spot, I'm writing to the FA.
I've looked at their gripes:1. Our first goal, they claim Snoddy wasn't fouled for the free kick that led to it. Yes he was - It clearly shows him being pulled back. They then claim that Terry was offside. No he wasn't, you see him running with the defender to his right in front of him (not sure if they know they you only become offside once the ball is played, not before)2. They should have had a penalty in the first half. This is the only close or debatable decision. I've watched it several times and still cannot make my mind up. There was definitely no trip as they claim but possibly a clash of legs. The ref was right on top of it and none of their players appealed for it bar the one who went down (which suggests that he was looking for it). 3. The ball crossed the line for the goalmouth scramble in the second half. Yeah right - Is the goal line technology corrupt as well?4. The ball went out when Snoddy ran with it, leading to the corner for Connor's goal. TV clearly shows that it didn't.5. It wasn't a penalty - The most silly claim of all and deserves no explanation.None of their players, staff or manager have complained about the ref, nor their media or press - The only people complaining are a bunch of head the balls on the internet.

It's almost like they don't know the rules to the game. I'm an American that's followed "soccer" for all of about a decade. I'm probably as ignorant as it comes, yet it seems I know more about the rules than their fans do. The ball has to completely cross a boundary line for it to count, it's not a foul if the defender gets to the ball first, and off-sides only applies to where he was before the pass was made. Do they not know this? By the way, please correct me if I'm wrong.
I spoke to a Wednesday fan who was there this morning and he was moaning about the ref's apparent over-familiarity with Steve Bruce but did concede Villa were the better side in the 2nd half.

The only time they’ve had a good side in my 41 years, we had a better one. They can get fucked.
