Aston Villa v Southampton Post-Match Thread

[rutski]

heard adkins on the radio, said' if he had of left his foot there, he would have been kicked!' he didnt, he wasnt, he is a cheat!

[Apyadg]

Their manager insists he didn't dive, even though he admits there was no contact. Shameless.

On another, equally negative point, Villa Park is a fucking library these days, it's depressing. No-one sings, no-one cheers, when you do, people look at you as though you're some sort of loon.

I'm not trying to turn on our own fans but it's just so depressing. I'm sure it's part and parcel with the way the game's going and the football that we currently serve up but the away support put's our home support to absolute shame.

I just found myself thinking at the end of the 19th minute, why don't we all just stay standing and get behind the team rather than quietly sitting down on our hands again.

Should point out I'm in the Trinity but it should still have a bit of noise...

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Bless my Son, he still wants a Villa shirt for his Birthday, he wants BENT on the back (his favourite player) but knowing he won't be here that much longer, i've persuaded him to have his own name on it.

The little monster has no idea what sort of contract with the devil he's getting into.

[Mortimer's Bear]

The fact that Rodriguez took a dive and halsey fell for it cannot be used to hide the fact that we are absolutely dire at the moment. Yes it doesn't exactly help but to be honest not a single outfield player can take any credit whatsoever today.

The defence, midfield and attack is just shockingly bad and even without the penalty I think we'd have still lost today, they seem to go out accepting that they'll get beat these days, and that's what fucks me off.

[Lizz]

His one saving grace may be that he's a Southampton player. Still doesn't absolve him from being a cheat.

He has gone down massively in my estimation today. Wanker

When I was younger and wanted my first Villa shirt, I was really into wrestling, and got 'CENA' on the back of my first Villa shirt.

Yup.

A couple of times recently I've looked at my son (13) after a defeat and thought to myself what the f**k have i done to him

Good:
- Guzan
- Lowton
- Clark
- Baker
- Stephens
- Bannan
- N'Zogbia
- Westwood

Average:
- Weimann
- Gabby
- Bowery
- Holman

Poor:
- Benteke
- Delph

We weren't even that bad, we created plenty of chances but just couldn't take them. Our entire game plan is based around lumping it at Benteke, and that's fine when he's on form, but I'm starting to get worried about the amount of sitters he has missed recently, he had 3 or 4 great chances at Bradford and another 2 today.

Stevens was fucking diabolical defensively overall.

[ChrissyPrice]

My two boys are 7. Bigged up Ipswich as the new Barcelona before I took them to their first game. At the moment they are fans but they are going to find out the truth. And then support bloody Chelsea like their mates.

[mr woo]

We should have battered their right back, he looked shaky and brittle, they were utter gash particularly at the back. How we never scored or even really looked like scoring I'll never know, sign of relegation I fear

This is one of the reasons I love football. Two people can watch the same game and come away with opposite opinions, I thought Clyne was excellent. He was coping well and pace-wise very quick, to the point I would have abandoned attacking down our left (their right) and concentrated on looking foe a weakness in their left back.

stevens is atrocious, granted he didnt touch the player for the pen but he was truly terrible for the whole game and every other appearance he has made for us!

You might want to check your own spelling and grammar if you're going to criticise the writing of others.

You should really also consider the fact that you're coming across as a bit of a twat. Absolutely no need for your criticism.

What the fuck has it got to do with you? And you are coming across as a total toss pot,

You 2 wind it in now. Next example of abuse and insults like this gets banned.
