Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[TaxDodger]

I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Molinuex. There's nothing like a late winner instigated melee in the away end is there? Especially during derby games.

Thats 3 times Downing has been right on the spot at the back post.

I am amazed to read some comments that we saw today the signs of good passing football. Today was just like the old Wimbledon days - I am glad the camera was fixed high enough above the stadium or otherwise it'd have made parabolic moves up and down for 90 minutes in order to catch the ball in focus. I thought I read in the beginning of the week that the new management puts keeping possession and down on the ground passing football as their number one priority - instead we opted for 100% bypassing the midfield by long kicks towards Heskey. Fortunately the latter was in top form and won most of them.
I love the win, I loved the fact that the manager reacted to tiring players, but we were very lucky today. Long may it continue though if we keep winning!

Well spotted!

Goals here.

Heskey's header was fucking superb, love the arrogance of his and ashleys celebration. Have it!!

I expect the arrogance from Young, not from Heskey, he's a soft touch.

Maybe it's because I was there today, was you there then out of interest?

[hawkeye]

Maybe playing Heskey as a centre forward and not behind Gabby has something to do with his performance. Also was Petrov told to sit and NRC to go and win the ball and press or has Petrovs legs really gone?

Was I hearing things or did Alan Smith say "faggots and pays" on the Sky commentary?

Not your imagination, he did.

Certainly did for the second goal.  Flowing move from defense to attack.

That's two matches in a row I have praised Emile...............the performance
today will have silenced a few more critics (not just Villa supporters either)

Can't remember too many headed goals that have bettered that one, there
was little pace on the cross but he really thumped it past the keeper despite
being under pressure from the centre back-

To be honest as the match neared the end I thought Wolves would take the
points, there was some resilience throughout the team today, especially
Collins & Cueller -

Watch Collins' celebration when the winner goes in - here's to more of the same

I think Petrovs legs are long gone. He needs replacing.

I don't think I have ever read such a negative post match thread after a win.

Oh I've read far worse than this!

Yes, in relative terms this is what they call a `wankfest'

[PaulTheVillan]

Houllier has made the rest of the world realise that playing Heskey 20 yards closer to the goal actually makes him dangerous.

Emile for England.
