Cardiff City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

My pal is a big cheese at BT Sport. That was only their second Villa match, after the 1-0 win at Norwich. He's just texted me saying "Another scintillating display from the Villa. We really must cover them more often. Ha!" I replied that we deserve pity for enduring that in most matches.

I thought it was a pretty decent game for a 0-0.

So did I

I've seen us in much more boring games than that this season.

Hey, if some Top Four loving gimp at one of the TV paymasters doesn't think we're good fare, then that can only be a good thing.

I am sorry that the wankers at BT found it so boring and that they didn't enjoy our trip to Norwich either. Maybe next time they can fuck off and not bother sticking a game on at Carrow Road at half fucking twelve, as that would be just super.

Did anyone else see some idiot throw a mannequin head towards the pitch ?

It hit the back of the advertising boards with a hell of a thud.

Hopefully they'll have it on CCTV and can take some action.

It was also disappointing to hear racist abuse being shouted at Benteke by a Villa fan

First half, nearly all Cardiff, second half we battered them and Gabby missed a great chance.

Marshall made 2 amazing saves and Ben Turner played like Beckenbauer.

I don't actually think that Marshall save was that amazing.

He made it look so, though, with that back flip thing.

The "back flip thing" was the only way he could've reacted and got to it in time. It was a fantastic save.

The bastard.

ASTON VILLA fans were blamed for showing the ugly side of football at Cardiff last night — after one of them chucked a grotesque mask onto the pitch.

The macabre incident during Villa’s ghoul-ess draw with the Bluebirds spooked a nearby snapper who was nearly hit by the plastic projectile.

if that save had been made in a world cup/champs league semi or final it would still be talked about for years and years like the Gordon Banks one,
 it was that good

I thought we were very good second half but as has already been mentioned, away draws are great IF backed up by home wins. I think the three games we want to go our way tonight will do so but forget our position in the table, as it stands with the points the bottom eleven teams have every one of those teams is in a relegation battle at the moment.

Our table position is almost irrelevant, it's the points that matter and we haven't got enough.

However teams get relegated based on position in the table but I could be wrong.

Not in February they don't affers , the table that really matters is the one after 38 games - any from the bottom 11 could drop down - it will be very tight .

It was definitely a mannequin's head, not a "grotesque mask".

A bloke walked up the steps between 121 and 122 with the head held aloft in full view of the stewards.

A few minutes later it was thrown towards the pitch.
