Aston Villa vs. Leicester City Post-Match Thread

[dave.woodhall]

Today was further proof of my belief that I've never met anyone from Leicester who wasn't a bit odd. It also showed that they really don't like us, which again just shows our potential - a club from another region, who never enter our thoughts, are afraid of us.

I've always found it strange how local provincial clubs are genuinely obsessed with us. 

Of course we meet another one next weekend.  Who are so obsessed with us that I have it on good authority they were planning a minutes applause on 8 minutes to celebrate our then points haul.  As they can't count to 12 they might well have to abandon it now.

As Percy put it - clubs like Leicester, Coventry and Stoke don't like us because they know a successful Villa would knock thousands off their gates.

Highlight for me was Arlo White on CNBC continually referring to Cunty in the Leicester midfield. 

Decent result in any other context than the mire we're in at the moment.

Ha-ha I thought I was imagining that.

Don't recall Robbie Savage returning to the club where he made his name?

Be thankful you didn't share a train to VP with them or have the joy of putting up with their 'wit' on Witton Lane for an hour and half before the game. I've seen Manure fans less smug and cocky than those bellends.

'Cocky' was the word I used for them. Leicester are one of those teams that trigger 'Division Two' in my mind. That is where they belong and where they will soon be, along with poxy Watford.

I hope you are right but one thing stands out - both Leicester and Watford seem to have owners and decision makers who are totally professional in their management of a premier league club whereas others........

Coventry have go to be the biggest embarrassment for un-requited hatred in football. We just don't give a shit about them or their ring road, yet when you went to Highfield Road, they were like the Noses on derby day.

Indeed it was as if they thought they were actually close to us in terms of stature.  Of all the downsides of playing in the championship would be having the misfortune of having to play them fcukers again.

Standing on my corner when we played then was always fun. They'd walk up Station Road giving it loads than as soon as they got within ten yards of Witton Lane they went very quiet.

Can't complain about today. Okore messed up big time for their goal. We are not getting any luck at all and selectively blind Refs to boot. 4 points from 2 games is good. Just need to keep going.

I think Lescott is more to blame. Bunn made a super save from Vardy but Lescott was fast asleep as Okazaki slipped in behind to get to the rebound. He should have made been much more aware and been quicker to clear the ball.

Best game I've seen Gana have for us. Did very well in front of the back four.

Agree on subsequent events but Okore should not have let that ball bounce allowing the racist ****** to sneak in behind him.

Coventry, Stoke, Leicester, and dare I say Small Heath hate us because they have never been Champions of England once let alone seven times. Well long may it go on!

And they never will be. Have they won seven things between them?

Against Palace he was supreme too.We may have a very effective holder type with him...just need to add another on the left.


Observations from today,Leicester,as in their fans,are still generally horrid in outlook,actions and attitude.Yes,we get the old  bumpkin's having their moment in the sun......Did I imagine Vardy slapping Bacuna in front of B7?

Vertout,I'm a fan,but he needed to be replaced today,and that shows that there was no one to come on and do a job if he did...Likewise a desperately 'jobbed' Gil,whom struggled with thier close attentions..and Ayew seemed to flit in and out when we needed a big performance..

on the plus,Gana..utterly fab...Kozak worked hard for no joy...and Cissokho again give it more than we could expect from a man returning from being farmed out...Momentum is positive,on the right track with Mr Garde..Love how he prowled with intent the touchline after the forearm smash
