Aston Villa v Gloryhunters Post-Match Thread

[damon loves JT]

I hear that, at the moment of orgasm, Blackcountry Villa shouts 'yer a disgrace!' at his own penis and calls for his testicles to be removed

[The Situation]

Im convinced, from where I was, high up in the Holte that in the build up to their equaliser the ball went out of play off one of them but the linesman gave it their way? Have I imagined it or made a mistake as nobody seems to have mentioned it

I noticed that too and initially thought it was our thought. We should of still closed down Nani better and someone should have been marking Vidic.

The "celebrating with your fans in a moment of joy after scoring a goal the being yellow carded" rule really needs to be scrapped. Neither Young or Vidic did anything wrong (even though Ash got a yellow card lolwut?), the thing that was wrong was those Glory Hunting cretins running onto the pitch once again when they got their second. Hopefully they get their allocation for next season cut again.

I thought Warnock played better than he has in recent games. L Young looked tired in the last 15 minutes. Dunne made several mistakes, but none of them had immediate consequences. Downing was great, Albrighton and Bannan too. We just needed A Young and Agbonlahor to fizz a bit more (they were both ok though and of course Gabby is only just back). But so many more positives than negatives.

He then sits back on his hand and waits five minutes to reload.

Just got back from the villa really enjoyed that the kids outplayed united and all my united mates none from Manchester i hasten to add agreed.

Anyone see the incident with fletcher in the North Stand? It was just in front of me earlier one of our fans in the front row instead of giving fletcher the ball just placed it over the hoardings making fletcher come and get the ball shock.

When Vidic scored Fletcher made a beeline for the same fan giving him both fingers which incited a lot angry fans shoving forward

[TheSandman]

Great stuff. Was expecting Bannan and Hogg to get mullered in midfield. Aside from dodgy marking for Vidic's goal there was little to be disappointed with. Especially with all those injuries.

Babbies did us proud. I remember someone saying that Hotlips was lucky at Liverpool to have the likes of Carragher, Gerrard and Owen coming through. If Bannan, Albrighton, Clark and others will fulfill their obvious potential then he will be lucky again.

An excellent display from a lot of players too young to go to school last time we beat manu at Villa Park and against 12 men, the future of this team with all these young lads coming through is looking very very bright.

I am really proud of us today, we were brilliant, Bannan is getting better n better every week.

We were really unlucky in the end, but the fact we didn't win doesn't actually bother me, it was Man United verses our youthful team and we matched them. Yes they had more possession, but we had more chances, more shots on and off and should all be really proud of everyone.

I think Marc, Barry, Stu, Ash and Gabby all deserve motm!

Just listened to the Fergie interview. He said they could have lost six in the second half. Pity we sat back and played on their reputation, but there are huge positives that we can take from the game.

He was also very complimentary about Villa and Villa Park before the game on Sky, as he always is in fairness...

[CT]

A fantastic effort, esp Hogg, Bannan and Albrighton. The only worry for me is that if MA keeps performing like that it won't take long before the likes of Man City start waving money at him.

[Breezeblock]

well..... fuck!

No, really, fuck!

I entered the ground saying "I'd take a draw!"  I left the ground saying "How the fuck did we only draw?"

Kids were brilliant. As were the full-backs. Yes, even Warnock! Centre-halves were shit, especially Collins.

How the fuck did we only draw that?

Fuck!

[richard moore]

Couldn't disagree more, thought Collins was excellent after a shaky start...

[lukey27]

Thought we were terrific. Of course we sat back far too deep in the last 10 mins but that was really the only negative. Gerard deserves huge credit, because for the first time since the West Ham game we had a great shape about us. Albrighton will be some player and thank god Gabby's back he was phenomenal today considering he's only half fit.

[pauliewalnuts]

In the past when we've played Man United at home, we've generally done alright for one half, then watched them move up a gear. Ultimately we end up with maybe a point, perhaps console ourselves we did a bit better than the year before, but always with a feeling that what we had seen was about as good as it was going to get from us.

The difference today was that was a team full of young kids - imagine what it must have felt like for Hogg, for example, even being on the same pitch as players like Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic, let alone for his first league start - and what we saw today just hints at much, much better to come.

A tight first half, which we shaded. A great second half showing, and we really deserved to take all three points.

I thought during the week I'd settle for a point. I thought when I saw the starting line up, I'd rip your arm off for a point. When we got a point, I was desperately disappointed.

[olaftab]

Bottlers. Our defence is shit and have no composure what so ever, 2 balls into the box and 2 goals.

Very harsh.  I think they had a few  more than 2 to deal with.
