Like the Albion, they are masters of revisionism.  Give it a week and they will be saying they should have won.  It made me laugh when Pulis said last week that Albion should have won both games at Villa Park last season.

On 5 Live you could hear them quite loudly and frequently in the first half.

Trouble is, the away fans are seated next to the TV cameras which obviously have the commentators and their microphones. If you put them right in the top corner of the Trinity, you wouldn't hear them at all. Villa won't put them there for fear of seats raining down on the home fans or worse things raining down!!

There's actually a few more obvious reasons than that.

Getting them there from the coach car park etc for starters, not to mention segregation.

If we ever rebuild the Witton Lane Stand we could move the cameras over to the Trinity. At the moment, it makes sense to have the cameras facing the Trinity as it is a bigger stand with more tiers and therefore more advertising space.

I was in the North stand lower so they were just to my left and I thought they were strangely subdued. I have certainly heard louder away support in my time sitting there. Although that is probably because we only gave them a dozen tickets whereas they usually take about 15,000 away every other week.

That's because for all their bleating about they were confident and were going to do us they were nervous as fuck and worried about getting another hammering. All the noses I know are chuffed they escaped with dignity intact, which tells you all you need to know.

I think it's the other way round. They thought they were going to win so they've been getting their excuses in.

I think their entire fan base were uploaded with the 'we cost £500k while you cost £50m' excuse because as soon as the final whistle blew every single one of them were bleating it.
