Cardiff City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Damon's good isn't he?   Poor bugger now has to find a road that is open in order to return to the ample bosom of his family.

First half we were very poor and unlucky not to go in behind. Better from us second half and although we should have won, I came away disappointed. We're making hard work of getting to 40 points and it's very frustrating.

Bladen is the main Villa spotter. If you're ever at an away game, you will clock him with his yellow and blue high viz on.

He's a decent chap as well. Stopped for a chat with him a few times.

We had a mob out for the home game as well. I wonder what the obsession with Cardiff is. I know they used to have a rep but still.

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.

He is.

The question is then, is he that good all the time, or does he just try harder against us?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

He played well in the League Cup Final against Liverpool and scored.  He is a bluenose and his brother works for Birmingham City Council.

England v Wales thing

Quite a lot of Welsh Villa there last night. There is something quite melodic to a Welshman shouting "fucking hell Gabby!"

The two blokes behind me were North American (could have been Canadian but I'm not sure)

The best way to tell involves the word 'about', which Yanks pronounce like the English though with a softer 't'. Canadians pronounce it 'aboot' like the Scots. So, next time, ask them to repeat a sentence such as "Why did Gabby fuck aboot instead if just scoring?"

Three who were there were the Lions Club Chairman of Seattle, Chicago and Detroit. They were with the Kiddy Lions and were also at the West Ham game.

Tsk Dcf.  More or less what I said several posts ago.

There are two or three Lions Club Chairmen here from over the pond.  They were at the West Ham game at were there last night with the Kidderminster Lions.

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.

Any 'big cheese' at BT Sport is in no position to criticise whatsoever. Michael Owen.

And can you also remind him that quick replays and from many different angles is a prerequisite fr good live coverage. Hire someone from Sky as they are clueless on editing etc.

How did whoever get it into the ground?  The security was pretty tight when we got there.

It wasn't amazing when I arrived. They said "have you got any cans or bottles?". I said no and they let me in without a search.

I felt quite insulted. I'm obviously too old to be considered a threat.

Saw highlights for the first time on MOTD. What the fuck was Gabby playing at the plank.

[Toronto Villa]

He didn't have on of his best nights did he? But he's bailed us out on so many occasions with massive goals. He'll get back to it again.
