Aston Villa v The Plastic Knobbers-Post Match Thread

[mozza]

Message to Mssrs Lerner Faulkner Lambert ........the players........the Ticket Office.........Club Shop......
match day stewards ............and yes West Midlands Constabulary - I had a really enjoyable visit to
Villa Park yesterday - more of the same please and I will renew my L6 season ticket without hesitation.

It's days like yesterday that remind me why I support this club through the good and the bad times

Yes Mr Foy did help our cause with the first dismissal but our lads backed by a wall of sound from
every corner of VP won the day and deserved the victory

What brilliant photos - no filters or Photoshop used?

just my first generation iphone4 nowt else

Purplepants that claret and blue sky is awesome!-good luck on your retreat

thanks, it's quite a serious endeavor, much appreciated
i'll wear light blue robes for 4months. as it'll be cold in the mountain valley in spain to start with, the only plain wooly hat I have happens to be 'deep red'

I've begun my 6 months employment break from my NHS job too (blessed relief!)
Though I'd love to see the Chelsea supporting psychiatrist I work with tomorrow morning!

Thanks for posting the photographs purpletrousers they're beautiful.

My pleasure to share, I was what's app-ing them about late last night and got told to get on here & share!!!
My nursing-lecturer Chelsea colleague hasn't replied though, but he may be away. He was magnanimous about their lucky win at Stamford Bridge, there are some good Chelsea folk.

There was a Chelsea dad and son next to me in the Holte. They were well behaved and did nothing wrong. As there were two empty seats between us, it was only at the end of the goal celebrations and I turned and noticed his son was looking devastated. I made eye contact with the Dad and he started clapping straight away. I'm sure we've all snuck in the wrong end, I had no problem with them being there. I certainly enjoyed our dominant last 10 mins!!!


I thought after Sunderland and Palace home games we went to, we might have to resort to stadium tours only for joy, I'll save you the pics of me and Dad as we did that on Dec 27th, but thoroughly enjoyed a visit to Villa Park at that point for a change! (Do go on a tour if you haven't...)

I don't understand why opposing fans would choose to sit in the Holte End. Surely any of the other three stands would be a more logical choice?

Second cheapest tickets in the ground? Not much of a football fan so not knowing it is the staunch supporters end?

"Plastic Knobbers" is making me chuckle

On this weekend last season, Villa had played one more game (30), had 4 fewer points (30), had a GD -19 worse (-25) and were 7 places lower (17th). Wigan were P29 Pts 27, QPR & Reading both P30 Pts 23.  It is odds-on relegation for Sunderland, Fulham & Cardiff and a 2014-15 to relish for us.

Fantastic performance and result. I've only just managed to close my mouth which has been wide open since Delph scored. What an amazing goal and where better to score it than in front of the joyous Holte.

Anybody that wants to relive the game whilst listening to 101 excuses can see the game on Chelsea TV at 6pm.

[Toronto Villa]

There's a radio show on here in the morning hosted by Chelsea TV bloke Neil Barnett. As much as the show is meant to be about football generally, you can play a game to see if a Chelsea reference is not made in 5 minutes of listening. It's never happened as far as I am aware. They could be discussing football on Saturn and somehow Barnett gets in a Chelsea related reference. I digress. Anyway, tomorrow should be brilliant because he'll be depressed and given it his best, considering he's employed by the club to defend all things Chelsea. It's possible I might go off the road if he manages to provide us with any credit whatsoever. Still I will take much joy in his misery on my drive to work at 7am.

Have just read Beasleys match report after lots of people slagged it, he must have been sitting in Jose`s office when he wrote that, typical London bias from the Sun, no suprise there, i will never forgive that shithouse rag for the way they virtually ignored Villa winning the League in `81 and European Cup while almost Jerking off around the clock because their beloved fucking Tottenham Hotspur won the FA cup 2 years on the bounce beating such luminaries as Hull and Carlisle on the way. No, lets not allow some snot nosed little twat from the Sun to ruin a magnificent result/performance, it was DESERVED and they know it, BOTH sendings-off were correct, whether they like it or not, Joe Bennet was not last man, it wasnt a bad foul so he stayed on the pitch, NOTE TO ALAN SHEARER, IT IS NOT THE REFEREES JOB TO DECIDE WHO`S FASTER, Son, you were a great player, but a shit TV Pundit. Yesterday was full of Positives (the aforementioned Joe Bennets performance, being one of them) and virtually no negatives, yesterday we looked a proper handful for any side, long may it continue.

The agony on John Terry's face.  Love it.

Cheers Jimbo.

How do you do that? Do you need a degree in IT?

[Chris Jameson]

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.

My brother will be meeting up with him in a couple of weeks, I've asked him to thank him for my favourite piece of commentary this season! I've always liked him, very good commentator.

The agony on John Terry's face.  Love it.

I think I've just shit myself trying to think of a positive here lads.

Wayne Bridge's hours of practice with his air rifle pay off as he scores a direct hit.

That was the best atmosphere I can remember in a long time. All in all a perfect day for me in more  ways than one - great performance, fantastic result and incredible atmosphere; for some reason for the biggest crowd of the season I got off the car park quicker than when we have low attendances, so home in record time; got home to find my new rescue staffie hadn't chewed anything while I was out (a first); and my youngest son whose epilepsy has been out of control (up to 39 partial fits a day) had a fit-free day for the first time in over a month. I'm absolutely buzzing! Be doing some damage to that bottle of single malt tonight for sure!

good on ya mate !
