Everton v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[hawkeye]

My view is that if we do not win our next game we  will go down.

They was huge booing at the end of the game.  Was it comng from the Villa or Everton fans?

Certainly not from our fans. Our support was excellent and the team deserved it

I think (hope?) we'll win it.

No we will not. We need no more than 4 points from the remaining 7 games and we will get them. This theory about 42 points this year is bunk. Teams relegated will accumulate less than 38 points.

I didn't hear any booing either, and Frank is right about our support, we really got behind the team and they played pretty well in the most part (except Walker, I'm sure his performance was a one off).

Maybe there was a bit of booing of the referee?

[Legion]

Kyle Walker has already accepted that he was awful this afternoon. See a Twitter feed somewhere.

It was the Everton fans booing Ashley Young.

my worry is that there is going to be a big show with scarves and banners, the bells are ringing is going to be played, can you imagine the reaction if we get turned over, i take your point about the points tally i think 39 or 40 points will be safe

Why do you think it is bunk? I think the notion that we only need 4 more points is unlikely to be true.

The current bottom 3 already have 95 points between them, that's more than you would expect the bottom 3 to have at the end of a typical season, let alone with 7 games to play.

I'm not even confident that 42 points will be enough.

[hawkeye]

thing is Villadawg, all the bottom teams have lots of games against each other, so the points will get shared out, 42 points will definately be enough, 2 wins should see us safe

Re: The 'non goal'.

I hope he was well onside and that it's shown to be over the line. I like the idea that we may have got the biggest slice of luck imaginable and got away with daylight robbery. Further, I hope the point it gained is the difference between being relegated and us ultimately staying up.

We were on the wrong end of a similar incident at Leicester City in April 1970 and we  finished up being relegated to the 3rd division. As you can gather I'm still sore about it.

Call it Karma. You can say what goes around comes around.

All I know is that after waiting 41 years, when the managers, players, TV pundits all analyse it from 20 different angles, speed it up, slow it down, use every bit of technology and then get all self righteous and pious I can say "Bollocks to the lot of ya ! Im Villa me and we're staying up ! "




Bloody Hell that game takes me back
I was a kid (6) and my dad took me to all games home and away
The ball hit the back metal loop for the nets and bounced out
We were right behind it
The old man still moans about it today..................
Great days though..............

I'm pleased as we did better then I thought we would have...

Celebrating a draw with Everton reserves...Whoopi do!

Well done Ged! Now do fuck off.

We need at least 6 points I reckon, especially after the results today.  Good point today in my opinion - didn't see it but sounded like Everton missed a few decent chances.

I feared a heavy defeat today, especially after all the bad press - sounds like all the mutiny stuff is a load of bollocks.  We'll do the Geordies - keep the faith.

After all the shit in the press this week,this was a a good result.The most important thing is we showed spirit and some fight, so we need to keep positive going into the next match.It's all about survival now I couldn't have cared if it was the under 11's we drew with today a points a point

[The Moose]

Think we still need 6-8 points to be safe. Play like we did today and we should get them.
Well done RAF!!
