Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[dave.woodhall]

was i right about regan?

I haven't got a clue who he supports, but I can guess who this media star does: "Keano. You beauty. I love you. #UTV ."

Does anyone know why we played in boring white, instead of historic claret and blue?

Should play more often in it as we won at Chelsea wearing white aswell.

[Percy McCarthy]

Collymore?

[dave.woodhall]

Collymore?

Got it in one.

It's McLeish, Clark, Keane.

Am I the only one who is bugged by the constant misspelling of their names?

Yes we don't have a full back called Stephen Wanker. Elementary  spelling error!

[gervilla]

Just caught the highlights on the Irish version of MOTD ( on after Chelseas 0-0 draw) and only on second due to he high number of Irishmen on display. Hopefully Robbie can keep that up for the next 5 games and then he can cool his boots 'till the Euros in the summer.
I hope Weasel Downing had a nice day on the bench fop the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' by the way. Wanker.

Bbc wm were wetting their knickers at half time over wolves. when keane  equalised you could hear the pain in the commentators voice. tossers

Not being from the area,could someone explain why the local radio are grim towards us?

Not just local. I could feel the pain in Pat Murphy's voice when  they went to him for  our winning goal.
Last week he went on and on about how desperate Villa were  in signing keane at which point Mark Puget reminded him that no more so than Manure with Scholes and arsenal with Henry. That shut him up.

Henry, what a total idiot, he did his usual thing of going in after the ball had gone a few times just a slow dirty player. Then caps it off by getting sent off, he cost them the match today. Mcarthy must be mental. This was a massive game for them today. I dont think they will recover.

I agree, I think Bolton will stay up ahead of them.

I do like big Mick and they do play some decent football at times as they showed at the end of the first half against us but I dunno they do seem too easy to score against, the first Keane shot went past Hennessey pretty easily I thought.

Thier defence is pretty awful, i think big Mick is getting the most out of the resources he has got and lets face it they dont have much, Fringpong was immense until he went off and will now be out for a long time. They look doomed

He really is shit, decent reflexes but thats it.

I'd say you are not alone.

Our game was the featured match on Irish radio today, the co-commentator was Mick Martin.
The senior commentator mentioned that when he was talking to the local media folks the were all raving about Micks dad , Con , the Villa legend...and that he was a much better player than Mick. "Maybe" said Mick, "but I got more caps than he did".

Haven't seen any of the game yet as I was on children's party duty, but sounds like a much better second half.  How did Gardner do?

He really looks the part, good on the ball, some decent tackles, you would never have guessed it was his first real start in the PL, I have been waiting to see him, he did not dissapoint, great prospect-no doubt

He's not the player I thought he was going to be.  People have described him as being like Gerrard whereas I do not think he is as athletic as Gerrard.  He did however look very comfortable and assured.  A promising debut but I did not see the heroics that others have described.

He should have buried the early header though. Delighted to see him get a start today. The first of about 600 for us hopefully.
