Aston Villa 2 vs 1 Smethwick Post Match thread

[Jimbo]

The bitter birds were well tetchy coming out of the ground on Witton Lane. Grumbling, glowering, spitting on the road, cursing in their quaint medieval dialect. It was actually rather beautiful. I hope they returned to their hovels safely and are now enjoying their pigeon food.

[Lambert and Payne]

Gives us such a boost ahead of Saturday! Massive massive result

[Phil from the upper holte]

I fell out with the 2 Albion fans I watched the game with and told my best mate to Fuck off after he called us divers, all in all a great night

[Tony Erdington]

More gems from that Bitters' Forum:

They are a massive club though at least our great little club had a go.

I am  bloody fuming   and feel sorry for the fans that went.

Been absolutely inconsolable tonight. Missus is worried. I'm fuming.

I hope Tony is in the shower tw@tting every last one of them.

tbf

ive read what you picked from there site, but theres more of there fans saying we were the better team and that basically they got what they deserved, sorry but I think Albion fans on there own site are in the main quite balanced.

Ha ha ha love it Jimbo.

Bloody Jason Cundy on talkshite saying we were lucky and Albion deserved win.  Moron

He doesn't like Tim does he?

Every one of their fans saying we deserved to win. What a nause

Didn't he have a pop when he was appointed and said we'd still go down? Think I read it on here, I don't listen to him, he's on a par with Darren Gough.

LIttle known fact about Jason Cundy.

He's of Hungarian heritage on great great grandfathers side and the D in his surname is pronounced as a T

not really, but it shoud be true

[Mossie Hennebry]

There were tears of joy in my eyes tonight. My girlfriend wondered what was wrong with me.

What a relief.

Not so concrete then, Tom - eh?

[rob_bridge]

Fucking marvellous.

I'm so happy and could have a threesome with Hilda Baker and Arthur Millard.

Isn't that a little 'Unclerical?'

Thank you thank you thank you. It's a lovely morning out here.  With no other means available followed the match on here. Threw the iPad away at 90 mins and start of injury time and went to sleep. Just woke up to this. Yes fuck em as we say!

We deserved to win tonight. No question

Should have been three up at half time

Great first half performance

Thought Tc and Charlie did ok first half. Playing Charlie in the hole might just work when he is more match fit

Lowton looked accomplished and has so much more going forward than our other LB's

Im not Delphs biggest fan but he played well tonight

Well done to Gabby and lovely to score in front of those fans who give you so much abuse

Jack looked good tonight and he has the confidence  to demand the ball.

Love Hutton for his effort and takes no shit off anyone. He is more of an attacking threat these days

Dead balls were typically rubbish again tonight. We need to improve as they are so important when you don't create many chances.

Finally to TS. He got the tactics spot on tonight and also the subs. Love his passion and commitment and as he said afterward, whatever happens we will fight to the end.

What was the beef with the Albion fan being escorted out of the ground at half time? Probably wasn't the wisest decision to get rid of him by walking him along the North stand lower!

[Cleybrooke]

It was in the eyes of every fan leaving the Upper Holte this evening.

Not saying there were tears, just sheer bloody joy, relief and the belief flooding back.

We are the Pride of Birmingham. Fact.

UTV.

What did that Albion fan do to get thrown out at half-time?  I was in the Holte, but I saw the stewards lead him away in front of the North Stand.

[silhillvilla]

I'd almost forgotten what it was like to see smiling faces spilling out of villa park and singing fans outside the ground.
We need to build on this now.
Oh and isn't it nice to see a manger full of infectious passion.
