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.

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 II'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.

Anybody offer help?Gabby had the goal at his mercy following a lovely flick from the Beast. It seemed a certain goal. He dallied so long trying to get it on his left foot or chip the keeper or I don't know what the hell he was trying and their defender tackled him. In injury time the ball came to Weimann in the six yard box. Their keeper pulls off a blinding save and we're ruing our luck. Then when you see the replay you realise he should have just hit the ball hard in a straight line along the ground and he would have scored but instead he trys to flick it with the outside of his boot the opposite direction. Or did you mean videos?and If Bacuna gives the ball to Benteke there is a also a goal instead he shoots and goes wide . I thought that was a good chance.Regarding that one, JP, If Bacuna pulls it back it Joe Bennett has a tap in as he'd made a good run and was free in the box.There were a lot of 'ifs' last night.Their centre half was excellent though. He didn't deserve to be on a losing team and the result was fair.Gutted we couldn't have snatched it though

Havent seen either of our chances. Anybody offer help?
I have a feeling that I heard previously that Ben Turner was a Bluenose? He's definitely from Brum. Played well against us last night anyway.
Quite a lot of Welsh Villa there last night. There is something quite melodic to a Welshman shouting "fucking hell Gabby!"

Quote from: Ads on February 12, 2014, 12:21:00 PMI had no idea this was on the tele until the Cardiff fan on my team at work mentioned it.He said you could tell the difference in quality with how much more fluid we were in attack and in our movement compared to their two banks of four.Somebody praising our movement? Crikey.When they were on top in the first half it was more of a direct physical approach. They got joy from Zaha v Bacuna and we struggled to handle Kenwyn Jones. When we got on top in the 2nd half, it was a bit more measured.On balance I think we were the better side and may have deserved the 3 points, but it's our own fault we didn't get them through missing chances.

Looking at it again he did the right thing. The keeper was moving to the near post and would probably have been able to get something on a direct shot. The way he (the keeper) twisted back made it a great save.You can't really blame our player when the keeper pulls off a save like that.
