Aston Villa v Newcastle United Post-Match Thread

[richard moore]

Good result but we are diabolical. What a terrible game of football that was.

Win next week and we're almost safe but i think we'll lose, and we never beat Wigan at home and i think Albion will beat us. Anyone who thinks we're safe now is getting ahead of themselves, we're still crap.

Diabolical is massively over the top. In the second half we were along way from diabolical.

So is 'we battered them' Paul!  ;-)

Mars bars are smaller than they used to be an' all.

Haha ok Richard, battered might have been a touch over the top! But we were well on top in second half, and I don't think anywhere near diabolical.

You thought we'd draw today though.

[Matt C]

Thank McGrath for that.

[Risso]

I have to say that I wasn't remotely nervous today.  As comfortable as we've been, and it should have been more.

[richard moore]

No, somewhere plum in between Paul I reckon, but not very good for me

I still reckon that BCV is right to say we are not out of this by a long stretch...

Coming over to Winchester on Thursday as few of my team live there and it is End of Year appraisal time...

3 points is 3 points. Very similar to the game we sent them down 2 years ago.

Also special mentions to Dunne for clattering Barton 

[Rip Van We Go Again]

The win is all that matters I guess.

Newcastle were very, very poor and appeared to have no interest in making a game of it, thank God.

Back 4 did well, with very little to trouble them
Petrov was a wise old head who had a great game.
I really rate Makoun and think he'll come good, but he was awful today.

Not impressed with Gabby and he should have been replaced by Heskey at half time.
Baffled by the introduction of Pires as we tried to snuff the game out.

All in all we still look very brittle, still not playing anywhere near our full potential and i'd still like to see the back of Houllier at the end of the season.

[PaulTheVillan]

Thought Dunne & Collins were solid, they needed that performance.

Walker was a bit ropey & not as lively coming forward.

Petrov was MOTM IMO. Best game for 12 months for us.

[phantom limb]

Phew. 3 points. Stuart Atwell is not a very good referee. Petrov was excellent. Don't really know why I'm typing like this. Must be stress. Going to lie down for a bit.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

and we never beat Wigan at home

Yes, it's written in stone.
No point in us even turning up.

[taylorsworkrate]

What do others make of Makoun?

Djemba Djemba mark 2.

Ah I'd recommend a pint to discuss Villa's woes, but I'm in Norwich with work over next couple of weeks sadly.
