Aston Villa v The Plastic Knobbers-Post Match Thread

[Somniloquism]

LOOK at the Holte End!! LISTEN to the Holte End - Guy Mowbray, BBC MOTD commentator. Beautiful moment, beautiful commentary. Will live long in the memory.

His commentary for the build up for the goal is tremendous. Something along the lines of "Delph, too fast for Ramirez, too clever for Matic...."

Wasn't going to go yesterday, but was able to get a ticket thanks to DC5 and VJK - thanks both, that's two wins out of two now

What a game. Villa showed fight, commitment and organisation. They played magnificently, all of them. Special mention to el Ahmadi, who was everywhere and played really well IMO; he's taken a lot of stick on here, so its nice to see. We totally deserved it, and Chelsea can have no complaints about the decisions against them.

I've also lost my voice as I went fucking barmy when we scored. Great scenes.

I can't help liking Mourihno though. I know he can come across as a bit of a twat but he's a character and in fairness a bloody good manager. Man Utd really messed up picking Moyes instead of him.

As for Rob Beasley's match report, he couldn't have been more biased if he'd tried. Hinting that the ref has ruined the title race is arrogant and extremely out of touch but that's tabloid journalists by and large for you.

Chelsea are incredibly classless, that's what they do. It is their shtick.

Great performance and result today. When we play with real confidence, we are so much better.

Also, noticeable today how hard we worked to close them down and get the ball back when we didn't have it. That, for me, has been the obvious common factor in most of our wins this season. We need to do it more.

I totally agree. We were particularly good at getting a foot in to nick the ball off them and then either the same player or a team mate picking up the ball if it was loose afterwards. The second bit is where we often let ourselves down. Itwas a throwback to our first two games of the season.

As for Terry, what I found amusing was that after trying to referee the whole game from the start, by the time it all kicked off at the end he seemed to have run out of words. There was a great couple of seconds on MOTD showing him looking shellshocked and speechless. Although it would appear that unfortunately he managed to come up with a few more words as he left the pitch.

Yes that was brilliant description. "Delph had too much  skill for Matic"

[Chipsticks]

I'd like to believe it was due to me starting the Pre-Match thread.

Incredible performance, thoroughly solid in all departments. Can't remember the last time I left a game able to say our entire defence never put a foot wrong.

Much better from us as fans as well, cheering ever tackle. How it needs to be.

I'm vaguely curious as to what John Terry will do when he can no longer play. Can't see him as a pundit, suppose Chelsea will find him a job. Have vague recollections of a survey of women with questions about football, and in a no sh*t Sherlock finding, he was voted a big turn off. And yes, I do realise if the vote had included men, the findings would have been similar.

I can't help liking Mourihno though.

Another one? The only thing I like about Mourinhio is he can't beat the Villa. But otherwise he coaches his teams to be dirty and manipulative even when they have the best skill. He is so two faced and just appears to have the English press fawning over him so much. The Italian and Spanish press marked his card early and called him out which is why he wanted out of there. Yet not one of the main Rags here will point out his indiscrepencies.

Outside of football and the spotlight, he is probably a decent man as shown by the story at RM of the South American fan and others, however, as a football manager, I would not want him anywhere near our club.

Missed the game as I was driving back from 'up north' as I ad been working.

I had to settle for listening to Talksport, when we scored I was flashing my lights and honking the horn, and bouncing around the car hitting the steering wheel and dashboard.

God knows what other drivers were thinking!

Fantastic result, big smiles

[Jimbo]

Mourinho's a slimeball and a hypocrite, who only came back to England because he knows we have a feeble press.

Good slo-mo of Delph's back heel

That was absolutely brilliant on the Holte yesterday. I don't go to many games and haven't seen us win this season but that made up for all the rubbish.
We got lucky with the first red card but what should always be remembered is how lucky that lot got a decade ago when a billionaire decided he wanted a new toy. So fuck 'em.

I really can't understand all this super Holte End nonsense. It was the Witton End and specially the Lower that made all the noise yesterday. Holte end is just a myth now days. They are asleep almost for entire 90 mins and sometimes stir into life  when woken up by Witton End boys with their endless jihad against away fans!

[PaulWinch again]

Well I couldn't see the game yesterday and I was delighted to hear the result, brilliant stuff. Seen the highlights this morning and what a fabulous goal from Fab! How Mourinho could argue about the Ramires challenge I have no idea. Well done Villa, excellent.

As the man said: Look at the Holte End. Listen to the Holte End.

Then you'll understand its power.
