Aston Villa v West Ham United Post-Match Thread

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Good to meet you today Leeg.

What a shit performance/result!
This was West fu**ing Ham for God's sake!
They're shit!
Without their shit striker!
And their fans will be going home singing their socks off thinking we are a truly shit team and a pushover!
Like a lot of teams over the last 3 seasons.
It hurts like f**k, dunnit?

We are worse than the West Ham of that football troglodite of Big Sam Allardyce, then.
It speaks volumes about how crap is Paul Lambert and how he is driving to the hell.
Once I was a fan of him, bur at Norwich he was all another kind of manager, 4-3-1-2 formation, entertaining,  attacking, passing gootball, things like that. . .

What is Villa's worst ever home record in the PL? Or is this it?

I'm assuming McLeish, 4 wins, 7 draws, 19 points.

I think the same. I'll check.

I just checked, and it is.

11 points from 13 games so far I think , could be on course for another lambert record.

Risk of stating the obvious but that is fecking atrocious

[Villafirst]

I don't care if Jores was naked with slippers on - he can't be any worse than the current CB's!!

[silhillvilla]

Slight aside, but walked up past the church and the bible bashers to the game today to then hear "heroes and villains, brand new issue , last season ever".
I almost inhaled my hot dog and died. Wtf is going on !

Dave has decided to go digital only as of next season. There will be two further hard copies for the rest of this season then digital only apart from a couple of compendiums of the best on-line articles.

Thats a real shame love the paper version.

Lambert on wm now saying we played well at Everton, I nearly fell off my stool.

We did.



In 2008.

Cue leeg posting the video highlights 

I hope so.  I need a pick-me-up.

YouTube have blocked my video, unfortunately.

Noooo. That video was priceless memories.

I was really disappointed with our support today, which was really dire. I know what was being served up didn't particularly warrant any excitement or applause but we were very quiet and eager to get on their backs, even during the first half when we were still at 0-0, which I thought wouldn't be so bad after the West Brom game.

I'm not having a go here but I am sure some people like me have just been worn down by years of crap being served up. I actually think a lot of Villa are aware enough to realise the Olbiun game was a freak game and that "normal service" would be resumed fairly promptly. When Villa fans are given something to get behind we are great - look at Marc today - we got right behind them and cheered him (especially) when the effort was made. Some made special effort to show appreciation of Joe Bennett coming on after injury and there were words exchanged with the few who booed him. There were 36,000 there again ( 33,000+ Villans) - wait 'til that drops off if you want to experience "disappointment" with support.

I think there is another one which has not (yet) been blocked. Give me a minute...

P.s. I'm getting reay fucked off with us bringing every player back to defend corners. Leave Gabby up and at least two players have to stay back to mark him.

I said the same thing during the game. There was one corner where only Weimann was outside the box and we broke away and he slipped the ball into Benteke who's first touched deserted him (and not for the first time today). Gabby should be left up, it makes sense really.

As for the game, two sloppy goals in as many minutes has cost us again and although we might have got something out of it had we pulled one back, it wasn't good enough really. We shouldn't be losing to poor teams like that.

Thought the fans were a bit quiet but the football was woeful and the wind and the rain was sapping of all spirit and life to be honest.

I think the last 2 years home performances have done that mate.

07/08. We won 10. The only time we've managed it since 02/03 (11 wins in the season SGT got booed by wankers who claim to support this club). We really are crap at home regardless of who is in charge or how much money is spent.

I remember that vividly. I sent SGT a letter about the letter I had printed in the E&S. He was gracious enough to send me a reply on his last day in the job. Top, top man.

I said that point to that there a certain % of our support at home that gets on the players backs no matter what and got slagged off for it. Villa park should be a cauldron of noise houllier got dogs abuse for touching the badge at anfield when going back as villa manager. Yet what would say withe or Mortimer or shaw have done if they had ever come back to villa as opposing managers exactly the same you no it and so do I. It was houlliers team that came back against Milan.
  I was there when sgt got booed and couldn't believe what I was hearing. Also I was there the night when the Gary shaw song ended with "he does fuck all" when the early 80/81 team was in demise. But know one will ever admit to singing it bit like the 6,000 manure fans that chanted "fergie out" in 86 at villa park.
It's shit at the moment and don't I know it and it's probably going to get worse before it gets better but that's life.
We ain't dining at the top table of football anymore but a cauldron of noise would be a start wouldn't it.

Slag me off as you feel guys I can take it

True enough to be fair.
