Aston Villa v Gloryhunters Post-Match Thread

[Pants]

Proud of the lads, outplayed the redscum for 80 mins, the future looks good indeed. Loved the second goal, you won't see much better all season.

Nani shoulda been off, for premeditated violent conduct. Brown off for the penalty. But hey, it IS Man Utd.

I agree about Nani.  There was another defender around for the pen so I don't think it was a sending off.  Vidic I don't care about; the damage was done by then.

Admittedly is kind of irrelevant once Vidic scores but the fact remains he had only just booked Young for doing the same thing.  There is no justification for it.  Refs never seem to make these big decisions in favour of Man Utd - certainly not when they're playing us.

I'm thankful he gave a penalty to be honest (although I had no faith it was going to be a goal at the time).

Hilts, your post was clear aimed at shit stirring. Your posts are no different to mine if you want to talk about balance. I'm not OTT positive, and you're not OTT negative, but we both approach things differently. I don't comment on the numerous times you've been negative on a situation, because it doesn't matter. You're entitled to your opinion and so am I. I don't comment on your negativity so give it a rest trying to point out whether I offer a balanced view on a subject.

No, it really wasn't.  You're right though about being entitled to our opinions; but that also applies to Blackcountry Villa, however much you might disagree with him.

I agree, but there's a difference between agreeing or disagreeing with a post and having to comment on whether somebody else is balanced or not. You're post had nothing to with the original post, or whether or not you disagreed with my retort did it? Feel free to defend his opinion or support the contrary but that wasn't your objective.

But that's exactly what you did to his post!  Twice!

"It must make you so happy inside to always see the most negative aspect of everything we do."

"I truly hate meaningless uneducated posts from people who don't understand balance."

In any event, I did comment on Blackcountry Villa's original post, in that I agreed with you it was OTT.  Please don't presume to tell me what my objective was.

Gutted that we didn't win, but then I looked on the bright side. At 86 mins on wednesday we were looking at 1 point with Man U next. Our kids against one of the best two sides in the country (or so they tell me), the referee and the inevitable 5 minutes of added time if they were not winning. As it is we have 4 points and a young team who can feel proud of themselves tonight.

Very proud of the boys indeed all in all. Thought Collins was a rock today.We lost impetus for me when Delfouneso came on, not that I am blaming him directly, we just seemed to have no one running the channels by then
 
Hats off to United - it is the sign of winners to come back like that. Put it this way, we wouldn't have!
 
Fantastic game and one I thought we would lose so I am trying to remember to see it as a point won...

Proud of the boys, we know we deserved to win and were the better team all round. WE are the future.

You've missed the point. Balance doesn't have to mean opinions that are always right down the middle. That post was over the top and had no comment whatsover on the postives of today's game. Like I said, you look for opportunities to create controversy. This is a thread to talk about the game, and that's what I intend to do.

Will we EVER beat ManUre

[The Situation]

Our midfielf of Bannan and Hogg shat all over Fletcher and Carrick... you'd have thought it was Bannan and Hogg who have played in the Premier league for 5 or 6 years - awesome performance by both lads.

Albrighton was sick again, made Evra look like a clown and Downing just made Wes Brown look like the shit and average player that he is. Ash played well again too, good penalty from him.

Overall it's a bit annoying to no beat United after looking so comfortable for 80 minutes, some inspired subs from Fergie nicked a point for them. Lets just remember we completely outplayed them with our kids and I'm very proud of the Villa today after a very spirited and determined performance.

Will we EVER beat ManUre

yes, last season at Mold Trafford.

[Toronto Villa]

Will we EVER beat ManUre

We have to get to a point where we are mentally strong enough to fight to the bitter end. They have they that in their DNA and it all comes from Ferguson. We've shown glimpses of it during the MON years, but not enough, and not consistently. I think we are too nice, and too soft, and other teams know that they we are vunerable late on. It's something we need to rid ourselves of to push on.

Great second half performance and grew in confidence. How many times did we hit the woodwork? I know people will say results are everything but how much better was this than the 1-0 against Everton.

On the contrary, I agreed with you then and I agree with you now.

Great second half performance and grew in confidence. How many times did we hit the woodwork? I know people will say results are everything but how much better was this than the 1-0 against Everton.

The openess of our football today was as good as it has been in a good while.
