Hull City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[eamonn]

I awarded it more on the basis of the entertaining descriptions and evocative use of imagery in the opening paragraph.
I guess the Doug bit would be a clincher for some.

Got home about 8pm, was a nice drive back, lovely sunset albeit driving straight into it out of hull was extremely dangerous. I kept washing my windshield but was out of fluid by goole, and had to stop to refill. Had a costa and a croissant on way back, a lovely flock of Canadian geese flew over around the Doncaster area headed east, not sure where they were going at that time of night, back to canada perhaps ? If so they were going the wrong way. I almost swerved off the road at that point and realised I needed to focus more on the road than transient wildlife and my phone as my wife had just text me to ask am I home tonight or tomorrow ? Seriously wtf, does she listen to anything I say ?
Anyway I carried on down the M1 and overtook the villa coach around the Sheffield area, think they had the Yanited game on as I had a quick look as I flew past them. I then almost flew past a cop car at 96mph sort of near east Mids airport area, luckily saw it last minute and threw on the anchors , phew, went past hi at 72mph and he didn't follow me. As I say, got back about 8pm and am now flicking through the programme and watching MOTD. Oh and I saw Doug Ellis today, that man, love him or loathe him us absolute villa through and through. I totally respect that man.

Post of the week.

I am not going to bash Doug for the old days when he was causing chaos, suffice to say he was on Blues board before us and then went to Wolves. Got to say he follows the club well now

That's because he has nothing else to do.

I agree, good comments in there. So you in London these days eamonn?

Good luck to him for being there, particularly at his age, but to make out that he's some devoted grandfather overseeing his family is over-egging it. The best business deal Doug ever did was to hoodwink a sizeable section of our support into thinking he was on our side.

He gets no credit for the £20 million that he gave Lerner to buy players with.

[villan from luton]

He also deserves no credit for trying to mess our club up in 78/79 by trying to regain control and Sir Ron would have been history.

[littlevillain]

game was crying out for Albrighton. Has to be injured?

[villan from luton]

I think he must have been littlevillan.

[eamonn]

I agree, good comments in there. So you in London these days eamonn?

Indeed  I am.

I really want to see Albrighton get a run in the next few games.

[villan from luton]

I work in London, live near Luton.

I agree Albrighton is a good option,  he has talent and hopefully Lambert can get that out of him.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It was a tremendous post.  Canadian geese swung it for me.

The fact he didn't mention the game did it for me.

[villan from luton]

Have to say Kozak going off injured when we had a corner was pathetic, grow some balls man
