Aston Villa v Liverpool Post-Match Thread

[Irish villain]

Unbelievable, can't believe we finished top half.

[Toronto Villa]

Albion gave us an extra million!

makes up a little bit for the money we wasted on buying Curtis Davies from them

[Richard C]

Albion gave us an extra million!

Sort of pay back for Curtis Davies.

So so good!! What a fantastic final day!

Great stuff from us today (from the bits I watched, anyway....), and a final position that is very respectable, considering. It might mask how dire we were at times, and as Richard said just how poor some of the other teams have been this year, but it's a good, solid top half finish.....and I would have accepted that at the start of the season.

Now, back to the laughing and pointing.........

[Goldie.7]

Albion gave us an extra million!

How come?

[Monty]

What a wonderful day. Best day of the season. Everything went right, good triumphed over evil.

And we won as well, brilliant!

[Richard C]

Albion gave us an extra million!

How come?

We finished above Newcastle when WBA took a point off them

[Toronto Villa]

Albion gave us an extra million!

How come?

improved our league position because they drew at Newcastle

Gary Mac has come in for a fair amount of stick in recent months -very odd for an assistant manager. I don't recall any other assistant copping that level of flak.

But whatever he's done in the past two games has had the desired effect. If you'd told me after the Wigan match we'd win two games on the bounce against the calibre of opponent we were due to face I'd say you were stark raving mad.

When the dust has settled on today's events, there are some serious questions that still need to be answered about how this season has gone.

They say that the final league table doesn't lie, but I'm not so sure that 9th really reflects AVFC 2010-11.

A very important close season ahead and some significant decisions need to be made sooner rather than later.

[Richard C]

In before ye that time TV.

Hard to believe we finished 9th after our manager walking out, no summer transfer window, the worst injury crisis for many a year, at least one player revolt,  the manager being hospitalised, and just generally being crap for most of the season. I predicted 7th or 8th at the start, even if MON had stayed, but it has been a funny old PL this season.  Makes you wonder how we could have done with a more stable set of circumstances, but I think it demonstrates that outside the top 6 or 7 places there isn't much quality.

But well done to all at the club for a good finish to the season.  Think we may well have seen the last of A Young.  Oh well.

Delighted.


Also delighted at how happy GMac looked at the end of the game.

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Albion gave us an extra million!

How come?

improved our league position because they drew at Newcastle

Also finishing as Top Dogs in the midlands once again.

What a amazing day of football that was..........the strange thing is cause I really wanted Wolves to stay up, Blues and Blackpool go down I missed the fact we ended up in 9th....wow!!

Brilliant......now where is that link to the Villa fans at the Arsenal?
