Newport County v Aston Villa XI Mini-Thread

[Legion]

At least we're consistent.

[PeterWithesShin]

Stop me if you've heard this one before... "inswinging corner caused chaos in the Villa box "

[PeterWithesShin]

5-2

[adrenachrome]

It's Armageddon. Get Redsox back to his Executive Limousine Outside Broadcast Unit.

[VillaAlways]

We're gonna win 6-5 etc etc

Only other time I had to rely on Sox Sports news was Norwich away last season. I was on the bus when Sox text to say Gabby had scored the winner, I became the nutter on the bus when I jumped shouting "yes, fucking get in!"

[Mazrim]

We need to get a special corner team sparring squad.

FT Newport 5 - 2 Villa

[Percy McCarthy]

"Grealish running rings round them, but Newport staying in game by being bigger and stronger. Difficult to see what Newport are getting out of this. No teams in League 2 will play like Villa U21s"

Shooting practise.

Must admit cannot see what either team really gained from this, except a 90 minute run out.  Surely a League Team playing the week before their season starts should be too strong, too physical and have too much nous for an Under 21 team.  It would have made more sense to have put 3 or 4 "over age" players out each half to supplement the kids and help balance things up.

@JackGrealish1: Not a good result! Just pick ourselves up n go again! Support was unreal from the villa fans once again! Broke my nose aswel, not happy lol!

[cdbearsfan]

Combining Lambert's catch-phrases with Cowans' dodgy nose. Somebody's trying to ingratiate themselves to the coaching staff!

[UK Redsox]

Grealish took a kicking all game long. The incident where he broke his nose was a blatant body check. Ref could have booked Newport out of the game but didn't card anyone until the last couple of minutes.

Watching Newport took me back to my days following Bristol Rovers, David Pipe, Byron Anthony and Chris Zebroski are all now playing for County.
