Aston Villa v Newcastle United Post-Match Thread

[saunders_heroes]

Why do we keep playing Agbonlahor? He is absolutely shit and i've always said so. Zero technical ability, no footballing brain and has fuck all apart from a bit of pace. He's a nice enough lad and a Villa fan, but if he wasn't nobody would rate him.  He's piss poor.

That's it! The ropes coming out!

I thought Gabby played well today. I wonder what game Blackcountry Villa watched today?

[Archie]

Phewwwww.
I will never understand why such a talented player like Super Mark Albrighton, that would form a fantastic pair of wingers with Downing,  is regularly condemned to sit on the bench, nor I understand why  entered as a sub Bobby Pires, but, after all,  win is a win.

Well me and the mrs have had weekend from hell. It does put things into perspective sometimes. However I am sat down now with a pint and waiting for Match of the Day and I am looking forward to seeing the Villa win.
I aint to bothered how they won, just very, very glad they have won. A massive result and fair play to everyone involved.

Pires was so far off the pace today.  Is he related to le Gaffeur?  That's the only way I can imagin he gets a game.

A win is welcome.

Yet we havent played well for a very long time, and I think that is where the negativity is coming from. Staying up is hardly a massive result.And whtever happens the fate of Houllier, Young ( and probably Dunne and a few others) is uncertain.

There is not much to look forwards to.

What did the banner say they unveiled after the game? Im guessing it was in response to ours from the relegation game

[Muscle-Dolphin]

I find Ashley Young to be a major disappointment.  Albrighton needs more playing time.  I think that we are stuck with Houllier for next year.

Something along the lines of, 'proud to be a geordie, blah, blah'.

Can't remember exactly. Was nothing major.

One thing I am look forward to with the end of the season is and end to going to football matches with my stomach churning so much I think I'm going to be sick.

I can't handle the nerves of it all.

[The Laminator]

Hopefully that will give us the impetus we so badly needed to make it through this season and stay in the top flight.

We can then give GH the chance (that he deserves) to really make it his squad. Get the deadwood out and some fresh faces in. Perhaps then we'll see some optimism from the fans instead the negativity which quite frankly had bordered on the hysterical over the last few weeks.

[Bottom Right 89]

The main thing is Villa won, we can all sleep a bit easier now. Its not over but if we play with that much effort for the next few weeks we might still make the top half if you consider Newcastle are 9th - they weren't much better than their relegation team a couple of seasons ago.

Luke 25 - the banner read "Proud to be a Geordie, we'll support you ever more".

I'm not his biggest fan but Collins after a dodgy first 15 minutes was immense. Petrov played his best game of the season and Gabby ran himself into the floor.

What upset me today was staying after the whistle to clap the players off only to be hit by a coin on the back of the head from one of our own (I assume?) in the upper North. Someone said it would've been meant for Joey Barton - christ they'd have to be a cross between Steve Backley and Phil the Power to hit Barton with a 20p from there! either way I can't believe we have pricks like this down Villa Park, luckily it hit me and didn't split some kids eye open.

[Ian.]

Pardew and Barton, both tossers.

Utter cock.

Whilst I wouldn't have put it in quite such extreme terms, I can't help thinking BCV has got something right with his comment about how we'd treat him if he wasn't "one of us".

We played well at Bolton, much better than today in fact

There is not much to look forwards to.
