Aston Villa 2-0 Albion FA Cup Qtr Final post match thread

[Hookeysmith]

All this media storm about the crowd. Pulis and his team will be delighted that there performances are escaping attention.

The most true thing said on here. Albion fans I know are saying the exact same thing. Awful manager = awful anti football

Damon's name has cropped up and before I turn my back on this thread I should clarify that the son to whom I referred was not Damon.

Sense at least from The Fiver:

Pitch invasions are bad. The Fiver knows pitch invasions are bad because it spent all day yesterday and much of today listening to various people pontificating in newspapers, on TV and on the radio getting their smalls in a righteously indignant twist over two separate pitch invasions at Villa Park on Saturday evening, when some happy booze-fuelled numpties stormed the pitch to celebrate a goal and then victory for their team against local rivals West Brom. Happy football fans? We can’t be having that.

Rather than being a return to the bad old days of the 1970s and 1980s, as some more hysterical commentators have suggested, your glass half-full Fiver prefers to think of it as more of a reminder of the 1960s, a decade in which a similar pitch invasion perpetrated by similarly happy football fans at Wembley outraged public sensibilities to such an extent that it is to this day celebrated through its immortalisation in one of the most celebrated snippets of sports commentary ever heard. Happy football fans? Let’s put it on a 49-year loop.

OK, so pitch invasions aren’t ideal or indeed particularly rare (has a play-off semi-final second leg ever actually ended without one?), but compared to fans being hit by seats torn from the Villa Park away end or corner-takers being pelted by missiles flung by spectators, they’re little more than a minor inconvenience that can be fairly easily avoided. So that’s that sorted out, then – The Fiver has spoken so let’s move on. Pitch invasions are not that bad and certainly nowhere near as bad as Arsenal’s recent record against Manchester United or The Fiver’s shameless segue from one FA Cup-related topic to another in the space of a solitary sentence at the end of this paragraph.

Was it the one who was ashamed to be a Villa fan a couple of weeks ago?

Very good I enjoyed that.

I find it a disgrace. A bloody disgrace. How can we seriously expect this to continue? I pay my taxes, my electricity bills, and can afford life's little luxuries such as owning a laptop. Yet this site, this so-called top Villa fans forum, openly allows those on benefits to post amongst us. We should have been told beforehand.

SHOCKED AND SADDENED OF CROYDON.

I've just spat masticated Fruit and Nut all over my Gorilla Glass.

Chris Brunt is facing an FA charge of abusing an official.

This quote made me laugh from the man Utd red cafe site

'Did anyone see that clown in the brown jacket being held back after they restarted the game ?
I've never seen him before and know nothing about him, but I know, for a fact, they could remake a brummie shameless with him in the lead'

[Tony Erdington]

Has anybody seen mr burns and tony pulis at the same time,

It should be a charge of impersonating a professional footballer.

I've been wondering about the possibility of Randy being there on Saturday.  If he was, then he would have seen what a real Villa Park is like and I don't mean the storm in a teacup at the end.  Passion, and lots of it which, if he decides to try his hand again with a little more investment he could be part of on a more regular basis.
