Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Post-Match Thread

[brian green]

Sorry Leeg.   I have to bring some level of normality to myself.   I am in a permanent rage with everybody and everything.   I shouted at the poor sod who sits in front of me and shook him by the lapel because he has a funny voice.   I am going to do something less stressful with my free time for a while like collecting Eddie Stobart lorry numbers.

I'd like to point out that 'hungry and young' and 'experienced' don't have to be mutually exclusive. I really hope our manager realises that, because we need a combination of both.

 Simply hilts, because the alternative to them is what we saw today.

 Bennett and Lowton , could both be good FBs, but not with such an inexperienced,frail, weak central defence.We need a N'Zog kind of player in the team.We offered no threat today because we had no one who could beat the Wigan defence.

I think Carruthers would have ran at and taken on Wigan defenders if given a chance.

Completely understand Brian, I've been annoyed at my family and girlfriend tonight which is unfair. It's fucking horrible at the moment.

Or he could have come on, taken a poor touch or pass, heard the groans from the crowd and retreated into a safety first manner like the rest of the kids. But we won't know now

For anyone interested we are the third game on motd tonight, following the games at arsenal and Norwich.

Are you insane? 

Might watch shopping channels instead.

or the God Channel.....as we need help from above.

[Ron Manager]

Can anyone confirm Mr Lerner was actually at the game today? Doug was of course but I have been talking to someone who sits not far away from the Directors box and he didnt spot him.

Eddie Stobart lorries are great, in fairness.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

I feel so lost and hurt i could not go out tonight. Any comment from a nose could of pushed me over the top. few Vodka`s and a film with no football thoughts. I have got to cut myself off for a night to get to grips about what we have become .....

The beeb and a few other news outlets seem to think he was, for what its worth

Mat kendrick said he believed Lerner was there.

[olaftab]

He was there and sitting next to Doug in the first half.

One or two leaving were hurling abuse in that direction.

You're not the only one.  There were some pretty ugly quarrels in the Upper Holte today - including one where a bloke in front of me nearly came to blows with a guy in the row behind me. People are getting very frayed at the edges.
