Aston Villa v WBA Post-Match Thread

[charleeco7]

Well I'll take that. Thought culler lichaj and heskey played excellent. We struggled to keep the ball once heskey went off.

Ash covered every blade of grass and albrighton only needs a half chance to cross and he can change a game.

Also a well done to the villa marketing team. We hD family over today and I ended up taking six extra people as it was only two tickets for £30. Non of them villa fans but they had a great day.

Not long back. Nerve wracking at times, but good result.

3 vital points. Young mom for me.

Albion fans giving it the bigun before the match too, on Witton Lane. Not anymore! :-)

Anyone else wonder why the police suddenly made their way up by Tesco and 3 riot vans too? We could only guess at their being a special offer on coffee and doughnuts!

Three points. Of course we had to concede one late on again. Did you see the sign above our tunnel Houllier?

It's changed since we changed crest.

Sorry, it was niggling me.

Gold stars: Heskey, Cuellar, Lichaj, Hogg, Albrighton.
Silver: Downing, Young
Tries hard award: Warnock.

Really???  Hogg better than Downing?  I didn't think so.  SD was MOTM for me.

I also thought that Stewie was MOTM. Excellent both in attack and covering back (which he had to do a lot of first half due to Collins and Warnock looking all at sea)

Eric had a couple of bad moments but was otherwise excellent. Hogg impressed as well but Bannon had a poor game. NRC looked good in his short spell.

Emile and Ash worked tirelessly.

Hopefully we'll see Carlos get a run in the side now.

Delighted with the win, Gerard had some big decisions to make and didn't shirk them.

Carlos made a massive difference and Hogg impresses me more every time I see him, whether he will be a first teamer at Villa or not, he will have a decent career.

I don't really come across Albion fans. I live in Leamington and am from south Birmingham, so I've never really met any, and as a result don't share the hatred of a lot on this site.

However, listening to them on WM on the way home, what a bunch of whingey, pompous ****** they are. All this "irrayfair, we wuz the best soide in the first half" bollocks and going on about what great football they play, and how quiet Villa park was etc etc.

They really are a bunch of deluded fuckwits.

I think half of Warnock's problem has been the lack of cover from Downing but today there wasn't a harder working player on the pitch than Downing. I even saw him put in a tackle - and win it!  He's also our highest goalscorer, which when you consider his record before joining us, is some achievement. The man can go home tonight very proud of his performance. He gave everything.

Everything Albion supporters said after the match was the sort of thing litle club supporters say after they've played a big club - ref was against us, played well, really proud, they was all quiet. They are basically an elongated version of Walsall.

Serves you right for listening to WM Paulie!

[villa `cross the mersey]

Good game, good result. Cuellar was immense, Young (A.) was great and Albrighton had a solid game. NRC had a good cameo performance at the end. Things look bright.

What - All Word Up and Larry Blackmon like ?

[dave.woodhall]

And yet again we saw Adrian Fucking Chiles walking round looking for cameras. What a horrible, nauseous gobshite he is.

[villa1]

Can't stand Chiles.

They were a right bunch of mouthy morons before the match, they genuinly thought they only had to turn up to win, did'nt hear a thing out of them as soon as we scored until the last minute

[Dave Cooper please]

A few points:
Hogg would probably be off to Walsall or somewhere if it hadn't been for our injury crisis, now he looks like a Premier League midfielder, these are the breaks and good luck to the lad.

Albrighton didn't look match fit but came up with two excellent assists, what a future he has.

Lichaj was excellent, Collins looked like a defender again at last, Cuellar will see to it that Dunne never plays for us again hopefully.

If we had had a fit and firing Gabby alongside Heskey today we'd have had six.

Olbiyun (grudgingly) have some very good players and play very good football, if they had had Odemwingie fit they may have edged this.
