Aston Villa v Swansea City Post-Match Thread

[ozzjim]

re Delph turning backwards, I noticed that, too but thought it was because he'd find himself with the ball and absolutely nobody would move in to space to take it off him.

This also noticeably improved in the last 15 minutes when it appeared more players were willing to leave their rigid positions and Albrighton tried the amazing thing of being in space.

Not once through the game did we release Tonev on the left, and only a couple of times early did we see Bacuna wide and threatening. After that neither were ever on as a ball, and Westwood and Delph looked up to literally no forward pass available at all. It was horrific, and short of the move for the goal Weimann did nothing either. I feel for the central midfielders I really do, apart from KEA, who even with a pass on gives the ball away inviting them back on to us.

I'm more worried about why Brian is hanging around the toilets so much!

Some weeks he's smoking, some being sick.

Fuck me, this is a Talismanian Devil:

Reminds me the mother in law is over for Sunday lunch tomorrow. Oh joy.

He's on a radical new detox diet which involves out-of-date Cornish pasties

PWS I hang around the toilets quite a lot because I ate some of my daughter in law's home made biscuits. 

[PeterWithesShin]

No one sent any of these biscuits or pasties to the club for the players to eat did they?

[brian green]

Wild horses will not drag that story out of me but it is the funniest true story I have ever heard.

[TonyD]

Get Teckers and Ron back into the team, loan a right and left back and sign Milner and we will be fine.

At times it was like watching schoolboys. And not the organized U16 type, more like 9 year olds running round the park playing 30-a-side.

I must say it did look exactly like that in patches.

She has discovered a constipation remedy. Time for Green's to make loads of money.

I had a mate who contracted a severe case of food poisoning from eating some hippie vegetarian shit at the Elephant Fayre rock festival in Cornwall back in the early 80's. He was off work for weeks as he would recover for a day or so but then it would recur, and he swears to this day that the cure was 8 pints of Guiness and a Vindaloo.  I should mention in passing that the headliners of the festival were The Cure in their Pornography period.

You first. As a constipation remedy my wife's homemade biscuits are a bit drastic. Like reversing your car over a jar of pickled onions to get the lid off

The highlight of the day was meeting Chris Nicholls in The Holte. I asked for an autograph and we had a chat about his four goals at Leicester. He said not to tell anyone about those goals.



Edit: that's not true the real highlight was buying H&V from PWS.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

I was actually laughing at our players today. They're so shit, it's unreal.

Words fail me.

With a username like he has, what else can you expect?

What's that supposed to mean? No idea why you felt like you had to reply to that but whatever.

It did actually. At one point Tony Moon tried to clear the ball and volled it across his own box. I remember doing exactly that at 14 years old in P.E and getting bollocked by the teacher, who explained to me carefully that under no circumstances as a defender do you cross the ball across your own penalty box. Lol. That moment did make me chuckle I have to say. Tony Moon playing like a pudgy 14 year old oik whos been forced to play in defence because he's a bit shite, but at least not quite shite enough to have been given goalkeeping duties.
