Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Post-Match Thread

[paulcomben]

On a positive note, I was planning to go to these 3 straight home matches including the cup. I ducked out because our team cannot play football on even the most basic level. So, with tickets, petrol and refreshments, I am over £150 better off. But, I'd rather spend more and follow a Villa team that bothers to repay its fans for their support.

They've all had Christmas, a lovely one at that I bet. No worries about bills and mortgages....and without a care in the world for Villa.

Cheers for a crap Christmas guys...all of you from the top to the bottom. Now I'm off to try and make ends meet...try that on the training ground and pitch one day, might do you some good.

Another thing that pissed me off today. Why the smeg were we bringing all 11 players back when defending corners? Palace aren't exactly a side filled with giants. Left us with no out ball so even when we cleared it we were straight back under pressure.

I'll tell you why....because Lambert instructed them too, and that my friend is the the kind of witchcraft we have to put up with.

Dragged my ass to the top of the Trinity and down again for nothing other than a cold in the making. Utter shit.

And if you know the woman that tripped over with a hot cup of coffee in her hand, please pass on my best wishes.

I never ever understand why any manager does that in any game. Keep one on half way line and occupies 2 of their bods. Simple fucking arithmetic

Get your kit on, that's the best pass of the day

Is it just me or do Lambert's tactical changes baffle everyone else? The players seem to have no idea what they are supposed to be doing and the changes actually make us worse!

Well they don't baffle the opposite manager's who seem to be taking him to the cleaners every game.

I went with my wife today a casual fan and her opinion was no pass's forward and Bannan was better than our midfielders..

Jordan Bowery looks like he can't quite believe he's playing professional football, let alone Premier League football. If that lad ever plays in the top division after he leaves us, I'll buy a hat and eat it.

Any post match interview?

[Irish villain]

Bowery is pretty poor but he was unlucky with his header.

We are just so bloody crap it is heartbreaking to watch us plod through every game.

If there was any power behind it, we'd have snatched that game 1-0.

I started shouting so loudly after 'We g...' that I could not hear the rest.
