Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[CJ]

Seems some on here are intent on having an argument about nothing. 

Oh no they're not

Why would Keane want to stay?

Why would Keane want to stay?

Beacuse he's scoring goals? It doesn't matter anyway, he couldn't stay if he wanted to.

Outrageous abuse of the position of Moderator. There's nothing offensive about these posts. On a little power trip Paulie?

Thanks, but read the first paragraph of the rules, then think about how that sits with telling telling people theyre "talking out of their arse" because they disagree.

If youre not happy with that, take it up with another moderator by pm.

Have done so. Ive reported your comment to a mod. If it comes to you, please forward my comment to another Mod.

Because playing in England is better than going to Vancouver, Houston and Columbus, Ohio on the weekends?

Why wouldn't he? I know we've been shite this season but we've hardly turned into Crewe Alexandra over night.

There was nothing between the sides at half time. Then, we reverted to type and back peddled in the 2nd half and one bizarre substitution later, it's all over. For all Sky's fawning over Cisse's goal, I thought two defenders should have dealt with it better. Alas, too slow, no points, game over.

Paulie is a very aggressive Mod, that's for sure.

Question for you.. Who do you feel is responsible for setting the pace of the squad? Petrov, Keane, McLeish..? I agree that it's too slow, but where is it lacking and how can it be changed?

trying to be purely constructive here..

Aggressive Mods are like aggressive policemen. Generally not considered to be a good thing.

Thanks for your advice, Jimmy.

It was game over when he put Heskey on.    You have to laugh or it will get you down.   Some good periods of play in the 1st half.  Second half - less said.   Meh

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

I'm sure I've just seen Villa play some good football in that match and create some good chances, but you'd never know it from the reaction most people.

Why can't you point out the good bits as much as you do the bad bits???

Because the bad bits cost us the game. They outweigh the good and the result is all that matters.

Exactly. The results at the end of the season don't read: Newcastle 2 Aston Villa 1 (but Villa had some good bits).

So because there were a few more bad moments than good then you deem the good not worthy of mentioning? Almost as bizarre as Heskey coming on that is.

But you said that folk weren't pointing out the good bits as much as the bad bits. I'd say that's because the bad bits cost us. Your Heskey point proves it, that was a crap sub and a lot of people think it may have cost us.

OK, maybe I should've made it clearer that I didn't think a lot of people made any points about our good play.

As for you continuation on this, the result reads: Newcastle 2 Aston Villa 1, so then why discuss it further? Presumably there's no need for a post-match thread?

Are you saying that we can't moan about stuff being crap? If you disagree with me on the good point v bad points, then a post match discussion is exactly the place to talk about it isn't it?

It is the place to discuss it, but I was alluding to your point about come the end of the season it says we lost to Newcastle and doesn't mention how we played. As far as I can see, the result has happened and the result stands now as it does the end of the season. Your point is that we lost and that's it. It won't matter whether we played fantastic or crap (which it doesn't). However, my point to you is, why are you now discussing the game when it doesn't matter, because in your opinion, when a game is done, that's it?
