Aston Villa v Newcastle United Post-Match Thread

Jeeze, its pretty easy being a hero with you lot then.

Don't think there's anything wrong with the Dion thing on a banner. i also think it made not a jot of difference on that night either. We were always going to lose so laying the nut into Savage was the smallest of victories for us to grab onto.

As it was 0-0 at the time I think it made a lot of difference. Villa descending to their level is not a victory of any kind.

[Monty]

To each their own, but that didn't strike me as a very 'Villa' moment, or at least not the side of Villa I want to be proud of.

What was the applause for in 17th minute? We arrived smack on kick off so if there was an announcement we missed it. Joined in tho.

Two Newcastle fans died on 17th July on the MH17 air crash, and yes it was universally respected

Is it me, or is this applause thing getting a bit OTT.

Terrible circumstances in which to die, but applause for the rest of The season?

Are we supposed to do this for every supporter that dies?

Respect is respect and it cost you 1 min of your time and it means a lot to them...hold your head in shame

Eh? You obviously didn't see the game. It was 0-0 and both teams were shit and it was clearly heading for 0-0. Dublin contributed greatly to the defeat. Stupidity at its foremost.

So you'll clap for a minute every time a football fan dies?

We could have been 10-0 down and it would still have been shameful. We sank to their level that night and Dion's part in it was the worst.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's Newcastle's tribute, not ours. Let them do what they want. If you don't agree with it, don't join in. It's pretty simple.

I didn't watch the match, but, after reading the reports and comments on here, I'm thankful of not renewing my ST as it still sounds the same as usual.

Is it wrong I wasn't really fussed about watching it?

[olaftab]

The bench looks a lot stronger,

Yes I noticed the additional metal struts added in the centre and right hand side

[Steve67]

Anyway, back to today's game. Not a shot on target? Good defensively. Perhaps the plan is to bore the opposition to death? Can't wait for big Christian Benteke to get back.

No KEA on the bench?

Pleased for you. Well done.

I think that is a very unfair reaction to a reasonable comment to be fair.

I joined in and I feel very sorry for their families and the people who knew them, but football supporters die of cancer or in car crashes all the time. I think it is legitimate to ask why it makes it different that they were in a plane crash. It is also unfortunate that there is a tendency to shout down anyone who questions things like this.

Well, Joe Cole looked to be carrying a bit of girth round the midriff so perhaps the reinforcement was needed.
