West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[ciggiesnbeer]

There ought to be a mod amnesty for an hour on the post match thread after every game where we can vent our spleens and have a right go at each other

It would be fuckin brill

Throws a pie.

Come at me bro!

[stuart r]

I'm so relieved we didn't lose I'm not half as angry as everyone else here we threw away a 2 goal lead.

I imagine you are more concerned about your death today.

Is that episode on today?

My nephew? The boy always was a disappointment.

holy shit he's actually dead? that's creepy... I only saw him being killed by Chris Partlow the first time last week. heart attack or stroke... or murdered again?

[Risso]

First half I thought Gabby looked as good as I've seen him for a while.

aye. he's been bollocks for ages now and seems to have escaped a lot of flak for some reason. I hope this return to form isnot just because of who we were playing - he owes us some performances from now till May.

He's a striker, and he played up front today.  It's not really a surprise he played better than he does when he's out wide.

Amen.

PWS are you going to let this go?

I'm assuming he was saying "amen" to leaving it there.

Still having a go and getting away with it nevermind.

I agree, but to be fair it's the most interested and hungry he's looked for a while. He should be up for it regardless of where he plays.

How is agreeing with leaving it having a go?

You all talk a good fight.

Did you call my pint a puff?

You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.

mebbe but he's been pretty piss poor since MON left so its not just lambert's fault.

[villan from luton]

Just got back. Fully expected West Brom to come back after that first half. Charles over dribbled into their penalty area and then they went up the far end and scored. Couldnt see it but others said Benteke lost his man for their second.

Agbonlahors best game for two seasons but he had two chances in the second half which could have sealed it for us.

Dont know why N'Zogbia came off. Equally I dont know why Holman and Bannan came on they didnt improve the team.

Lihaj is just not a top class player in any position.

I think a point was the limits of our expectations and we deserved it for Bentekes first half performance.

I expected WB to come back 2nd half.  Everybody did. What happens at half time in the Villa dressing-room?
CNZ came off for a change in tactics which didn't work but could have done.

Lichaj had his best match for ages.

Not the best time for Holman or Bannan but they have been better and we don't know their instructions!

What does happen in the Villa dressing room at half time?!
(PS if this ever gets posted - issues with the website disappearing - I would like to bet on Damon.)

Am sure Holman and Bannan werent told to go out with instructions to be shite lol

If he was agreeing he would of said agreed.You say Amen when you are taking the piss.

[Matt C]

Gutting not to win, obviously but it does feel for the first time in some weeks that there were at least reasons for encouragement. Vlaar back, Gabby/N'Zogbia/Benteke looked dangerous and I though Delph was decent overall. That formation too, with the right personnel could be the one for us.

Thats the big 'if' though. We desperately need a couple of commanding figures in the middle to help us, to close games out and take charge. Without them I fear the worst. But we all know that and like everyone else, I'm sick of bloody talking about it.

My last word on this, I agree that we got a bit silly with the quotes and that we should have left it there. That is why I put amen.

its not that surprising how's he's died. I really liked him as a character in The Wire. Such a shame. rip...
