Aston Villa 2 vs 1 Smethwick Post Match thread

[PaulWinch again]

If Lowton could sort out his defensive positioning he'd be a really good player. Going forward he's very good.

[Ron Manager]

I think we should forget its West Brom saturday and concentrate fully on getting through to the semi final of the FA Cup.,which means we can go to Wembley!

Will probably be a different type of game to last night depending how the managers see it.

Always amuses me when small clubs like the Bitters give sarcastic cheers when the attendance is announced. When was the last time they got 31K for a home game?

[pauliewalnuts]

that is brilliant from Delph. lol

Please tell me what he said - can't access the link

You can't tell, he just runs, when the pen goes in towards Gardner, says something (one assumes) then turns away. either way, the message was "screw you, cock face" or words to that effect.

Did anyone notice Lesscot's reaction on their goal?
Stood in front on the Villa crowd nodding 'Yes' with a stupid mocking face!!
Supposed to be a Villa fan? W*nker

He's done that before - I remember him doing it to the Holte End a few years back when he was still playing for Everton after he'd scored.

The language I used after that is not fit for publication on a family fanzine website.

In "that" match away at Everton, he pulled them back with a header, and was doing the same thing then, giving it the big "I am" in front of our fans.

Then approximately sixty seconds later, after he - amongst others - had fucked up, and Ashley Young scored with the last kick of the game, he looked an absolute stupid ******.

Former Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar showed he still has a soft spot for his former club as he celebrated their win over West Brom via Twitter.

The Spaniard sent messages out when Gabby Agbonlahor struck their opener, and after Christian Benteke scored a last minute penalty to win the game after Saido Berahino had draw the Baggies level.

Yesssss!!!!!!! Cmon Villa


Vamos!!!!!! Great win #AVFC 2-1 #WBA

Good lad Carlos.

I should have mentioned earlier, I thought Westwood wsa very good yesterday: more dynamic and proactive, and his defensive work was much better than previously.
He played in a midfield unit that looked dynamic and complementary too.

It seems that something is happening on the training ground, and it looks promising.

A big part of that was the change of shape and the extra movement.  He could look up and see a forward pass straight away, which is key for way he plays, he can be the 'conductor' in there but he needs something to work with, too often in the last 2 seasons he had to either hit long into the channels or turn back/sideways last night nzog, cleverley, grealish and delph all gave him options early which made him look much more effective.

[Edvard Remberg]

Get the fuck in.

Oh and have that you stripey bastard c***s

"Justice for football" my commentator said.

Probably not Poul Hansen - he is horrible - blamed Benteke for not even touching the ball, even if he had an assist. No wonder he got fired as a manager

No, but he was in the studio trying not to look down Camilla Martins cleavage

(One of the better things about the move.  Swapping Gary Linekar for Camilla.  v. nice)

Saw bits of the post-match - and yes - Camilla is nice - surprised she is doing football commentary, but she knows her stuff - and did I say she is cute as .... But I like TV3's coverage except that they use Faxe Jensen, Jan Molby and Poul Hansen...The only one that is worse is Morten Bruuhn on Kanal6.

But - justice was done! #UTV

The Holte End was rocking last night. It's all we've asked for just give us something Villa. They did.
They go on about atmospheres at grounds. 49000 Geordies Sat on their hands on Saturday, we showed how's it's done.
Special mention to the Lower North , superb baiting.. it will be twice as loud Saturday.

Is that the Camilla Martin who used to play with a shuttlecock?

[Edvard Remberg]

Is that the Camilla Martin who used to play with a shuttlecock?

Shuttlecock? as in the ball in Badminton? if so yes

She's looking at me funny.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Well, that was fucking marvellous wasn't it? That's the best we've played all season (maybe two seasons) by a mile. Every time they had the ball, we tried to win it back which was fantastic to see. Keep that up and we'll be fine.

Have to agree on that, Even Young grealish was getting stuck in and winning the ball
