Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Monty]

Oh well. I thought it would be a high-scoring draw, and I was half-right. Upwards and onwards.

[Clampy]

A totally undeserved win for Man City. I thought we were better yesterday than we were last week. If we keep that kind of performance up, we'll be ok.

Missed Clark yesterday I thought.

Which makes the continual late fuck ups all the more frustrating.

Without them we probably take points from Stoke, Toon and Swansea, and at least a point against City. We'd be home and dry. It's sloppiness and individual errors too. It's something we should be able to cut out. It's annoying too as we looked very solid and focused against Spurs and Liverpool.

I do think against West Ham and Everton though, we could have the job done enough that any late giveaway won't cost us too much. I'm expecting us to twat Camerons side 10-0.

Where was that Legion?

Look like bloody hillbillies

That was one of our coaches in Manchester, yesterday.

That's what you get for messing with the big boys I guess. Probably Sky executives.

I see Blues and Albion fans have reemerged on social media, after being invisible for the last fortnight. And why do they never mention their own club's results, even when they win? Sad.

I think last seasons match up there was a particular low point for me, it was my first visit to the Etihad and one to forget

It was like men v boys, we just went to hold out for as long as we could, it didn't even feel fair as a competition,
Lambert football had ground us down to just making up the numbers

Yesterday was totally different, we were actually the better team
 that's what I love about Sherwood, he believes in the players, some arnt that good in honesty, but we are giving everyone we play a game

Dare I say if we go down I'm 100% certain we will come straight back up with him in charge

All the traffic was stopped for a about 15 mins by the academy ground .
You could see the OB ahead had stopped everything . Then the convoy of villa coaches appeared , I assume just after the bricking and inevitable caffufle and delay to traffic

[VillaAlways]

Whoops

For me the biggest positive from yesterday wasn't just the performance, but that it answered the media question of whether we'd raised our game for last weekend.

That's 3 games on the bounce where we've turned up as massive underdogs and come bloody close to winning all 3, including giving the reigning champions a 2 goal start.

Even the "top 4" loving commentators over here have started noticing not just the results but the performances, with the most common refrain "why on earth did they persist with Lambert for so long".

"That detective is the right question"
