Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PaulTheVillan]

We seriously need 2 good centre backs.

[Chico Hamilton III]

The flare looked a pain in the arse

A smoke bomb was set off in the pub we were in before the game. Looked like a bunch of kids who did it. Clever though, the smoke detectors all went off in the pub and the staff had to stop serving for about 15 minutes.

[Chipsticks]

Not so well done to MOTD for not having 1 Villa goal in the contenders for goal of the season.

I am fucking fuming. They had a long-ball route 1 toepoke from Donkey Carroll. But nothing from Villa. Wankers

In fairness Linekar did acknowledge that there were a lot of notable omissions being as it was simply a collection of their 'goal of the month' winners. At least Lowton's goal made it into their end of season highlights video package.

Yes - how crap is that.  Goal of the season based upon the best goal per month rather than the best goals of the season.  Shocking

[Steve R]

Our worst performance for a couple of months, yet will still found it in ourselves to score two more excellent goals. We gave up the ball very easily and defended badly. For all the odd instances of good play only Guzan rated more than a 6.

Bent showed why we bought him and also why we are better off without him.

Oddly enough, that is probably the best Wigan side we have faced, certainly better than the likes of Sunderland and Stoke. And Smethwick.

[DeKuip]

I don't care about Wigan,
They don't care about me,
All I care about, is AVFC

Love it!!!

I don't get it.

It's a blues song, originally about Carson Yeung

No it isn't. It's a Liverpool song regarding the ownership of Hicks & Gillett.

They don't care about Rafa
They don't care about fans
Liverpool Football Club
Is in the wrong hands

Small Heath simply like to copy every Man United/FCUM/Liverpool song they hear. It's cringeworthy. Particularly that "I am from Bir--ming--ham" rubbish stolen from FCUM.

I said to the people I was with yesterday that I can't make my mind up whether this rubbish hand-clappy type song makes me feel like we're at a ManU away game or a Girl Guides camp.

Sorry to quote a lot but I still don't get it.

It's simply a chant to the tune of Mellow Yellow by 60's hippy singer songwriter Donovan.

[Lambert and Payne]

I quite liked the song, not overly enthused by it but people certainly enjoyed it. Glad smoke bombs got a mention as I thought about starting a thread a few weeks back getting peoples views too it. Quite a bit of a mixed reaction on Twitter and the people I spoke too.

[Chris Jameson]

I definitely don't get it in that case.

[freethinker]

I'm with DeKuip on the "I don't care about Wigan" song. I thought it was shit and couldn't quite get why so many other people thought otherwise. Each to their own I suppose.  Still had a cracking day out though.

I was in that pub. It takes a special kind of idiot to set off a smoke bomb in a confined space packed full of fans. I also noticed on my way out that some old photos of Wigan rugby league teams had been smashed. It's a shame a few twats are such an embarrassment, as the vast majority of Villa fans in there were noisy and drunk but well behaved. The staff in that pub were all decent as well. I did feel sorry for the young girl collecting glasses. She was so busy she looked like she was going to break down in tears at any moment.

Without doubt the most cringe-worthy and embarrassingly poor song to ever come from Our fans. Made ourselves sound like Walsall.

I was about to run out as I genuinely thought the place was on fire. Morons

Clean sheets are overrated. You can overcome that with a good duvet and firm pillows!

It is what they have been doing for the last 30 odd years so why change it now? The only stupid points was picking a Bale goal for May without even looking at that days goals as an option. I thought Vlaar's goal was as good if not better then Bales last two, especially when the Ape is scoring exactly the same goal virtually every match, it stops being special.
