Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[Percy McCarthy]

bottom line is MON doesn't matter anymore in the big scheme of things Percy. I just hope you and some of the senior players realise that because if we don't pull together as a team, then whether its GH or some other mug we'll go down

He didn't matter to me the day after he left, you're the one still obsessing about him. I just thought he was doing a good job while he was here. You wanted him gone from his first day in the job to the last, and yet advocate keeping Houllier. I think that proves which one of us is bothered about results, and which one cares about personalities.

If he didn't matter to you then why on earth are you still making this crap up? I didn't want him gone from day 1. For the record i NEVER demanded MON be sacked, even when there was the polls i voted no -check yourself but you've got such a skewered view on things i'm sure you'll accuse H & V of deleting posts

So you criticised him non-stop for four years but wanted him as manager? And I've got a skewered view.

I'm going to ignore you now. We'd all got over this shit until you came back.

MON has to shoulder some of the blame for the way the season has panned out, but the embarrasing performaces against Man City (x2), Sundeland and Wolves are down to Le Smirk and nobody else.

By contrast, did anyone notice whether Darren Bent was in the team at all?!

Yes.When he was denied a blatant penalty.Other than that he was given no decent service at all

He didn't put himself about much did he?
His casualness and his unwillingness to close the central defenders down was there for all to see.

Left at half-time. Knew we wouldn't pull it back.

i've criticised every manager we've had on here including the present one. If you were as far up GH's arse as you were MON's, you'd be accusing me of wanting him out now. But that was always your problem - criticism of MON meant I wanted him sacked in your book despite reality being far different

Totally agree with all that. Howver, I would have MON back now to get us out of this shit we're in. The other teams around us have team spirit and desire, looking at y-day...we don't.

[VillaZogmariner]

Can I just point out that Felix Magath has gone back to Wolfsburg, so that's one name you can forget about.

Oh right, didn't realise that.

My sister sees Rafa Benitez every morning when she does the school run, maybe he's getting bored doing all that?

Another thing that struck me, sitting rite next to the tunnel, there were loads of kids asking for autographs etc as the players came off from the pre match warm up, not one of the over paid, pri-madonna wankers stopped, they totally blanked them, were as the Wolves players were happy to stop and sign, its just all wrong

After the match my 7 year old asked if he could stay behind to try to get autographs. Of all the players we saw coming out of the ground in their fenced off area which make it easy to ignore the people that pay their wages only Robert Pires and thankfully Billy's hero Marc Albrighton had the decency to sign for the kids and a couple of strange smelling blokes in anoraks. Pires went right up in my estimation as he signed every autograph and posed for plenty of photos.

I know the team lost and all that bollocks but the captain for the day Ashley Young epitomised everything I hate about some of these overpaid primadonnas by completely ignoring the few kids that were asking for an autograph, he'll fit right in at Man Utd.  Friedel, Heskey, Delph, Walker were all just as bad. The Wolves players by contrast were happy to sign and chat for anybody that asked.

As Billy said, i've got Marc Albrighton I don't care about the rest, I want to go.

I'm glad to hear that about Albrighton and Pires, both at complete different ends of the scale in their respective careers. Good to see Pires is showing some class.

Thought it said it all, Pires may well be past it but he's won the lot and in his day was one of the best players in the world so you almost expect some arrogance, not a bit of it, he was more than happy to stop and even thanked Billy for saying 'thankyou'! Albrighton being a Villa supporter who used to collect players autographs obviously realised what it meant to the kids hanging around to give them a few minutes of his time. He's a credit to the club and made Billy's day.

I've blotted out most of what happened during the game but thought Downing played well, Makoun was useless, Bent not much better and Ashley Young will fit in very well warming the bench at Old Trafford

[Legion]

Yes, Albrighton is a credit to the club. The cousin of one of the kids I teach is his best mate and I have had a few items signed by him.

It also shows that whatever people think of Pires' performances he doesn't deserve the stick he gets. He at least takes the time to show respect to the fans, and in this case give your son some nice memories Chris.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I wouldn't want Houllier's signature, one X is very much like any other.

Players refusing to sign a few autos for the kids
Fucking wankers
Fair play Marc and uncle bob though
