Aston Villa v The Plastic Knobbers-Post Match Thread

[myf]

I really like Mourhinio and would have him at Villa anyday.

But our home record would be even worse than it has been last two years as all he can manage is draws and defeats!

[danlanza]

Less than 40% possession again. Absolute rubbish!

Ehem. Piss off 

[Percy McCarthy]

For various reasons I couldn't watch the game so relied on WM. It was Daz Hale and Mike Taylor, so the usual negativity and cynical sneering was notably absent. I was busy doing one thing and another but I was drawn towards the game by the atmosphere, Hale remarked on this a number of times. Even on an old fashioned transistor the place sounded like it was rocking, and the noise when the goal went in had me taken aback, more so than the fact we had scored.

This was then confirmed on here and by Murphy's tweet and the coverage and commentary on MOTD. We all know how special Villa Park can be, it's nice to see it and indeed hear it, and receive the plaudits.

No matter how much money, how much hyperbole, preening, posing, outrageous sportsmanship and media support a club like Chelsea get they can never hope to match the special atmosphere that, on occasion, takes your breath away when the home team take the field at a grand old stadium such as ours.

No wonder they get angry.

Indeed.

And deep down they know that, you can see it in their eyes, even the twats who support them can recognise a soul when they see it and they have none

Spot on. On a similar note, not saying Barcelona don't have soul, but have you noticed how bored their fans look when they score? Compare that to 'look at the Holte End, listen to the Holte End'. Makes me ask myself if it's perhaps preferable to be a bit crap (but still the greatest club of course).

20 years ago less than 9000 turned up for their home league game against Coventry. Not that they attract any glory hunters now. No siree.

She says you have a small dick as well.

Is there a prize? I always used to provide a prize.

Cech collapses as Terry drops his guts.

"I've tried everything, but if I show the ref my best smile and a bit of thigh, maybe he'll disallow it?"

[The Left Side]

Great game, great day and great weekend... seeing the ball spin into the net was unbelievable!

that sir, is the pain of taking one up the shitter. It's about time you felt what that was like.

[Villa in Denmark]

Only just seen Lambert's interview comments on the beeb.
Particularly like this little dig back at José

The manager also criticised Mourinho after the Chelsea boss's scathing assessment of referee Chris Foy's performance.
"I know what Jose's doing - he's been around the block. If you go on about decisions it deflects from the performance. But we deserved this," insisted Lambert.

[Brend'Watkins]

It was almost worth enduring the dross we've had to endure for most of the season so far to get a result and performance Like that. The best feeling I've had leaving Villa Park since, since I can't remember.  Just wonderful stuff.  The defence were magnificent, worked hard throughout and superbly marshaled by Vlaar who is a great leader.  I don't know whether it was Chelsea forwards ineptitude or our ability to hold the line but catching them offside as many times as we did made us look a classy outfit.  The pressure is off now so we should be really able to express ourselves positively from now till the end of the season.

Cech's attempt at a new religion's supplication fails miserably.
