West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Edvard Remberg]

It'll be interesting to see that penalty claim we had. Spoke to a mate who was there who said it was nailed on. That would be 2 definite pens we've missed out on in the last couple of games.

As big as it can be - not even debateable - huge huge penalty, and Ref 10 yards away.

Fuck sake.

The ref was poor but to be honest Richards should have got a red card for his challenge. It was appalling.
Stone wall penalty though.

Come on? in a derby, not touching the player, coming sideways? That is just silly. Bad foul, nothing more

The bitters really are shit, 30% possession at home and 0 shots on target, you're welcome to Tiny Penis the tramp in a tracksuit. 

I'd genuinely rather go down if the alternative was him keeping us up but getting a three or four year deal.

If you look at the post match thread on westbrom.com their fans seem to dislike him too.

Still can not believe he did not give it, very suspicious.

Well done Smethwick a solid defensive performance and no shots on target at home to the Villa.  You must be so proud.  Still no double against us for 52 years keep trying.

They will DVDs in their club shop tomorrow  "how we relegated the Villa"

Remember when they used to whine that they'd rather lose than play like that whenever they lost? They will probably stay up but McGrath they are a hideous side. Haven't won a game by more than a goal all season, that includes playing Port Vale at home, Bristol City twice and an hour against 9 man Stoke. Zero shots on target at home to the worst Villa side for decades. I would genuinely rather go down than have that baseball cap wearing twat nozzle in charge of us.

The season with Crystal Palace was an outlier. When Pulis has a chance to buy players, he reverts to six foot four granite blocks with their brains in their headbands. Then whatever wisp of imagination he relies on gets found out and he gets sacked before he relegates a side.

Let them jump the gun, we ain't down yet. Loads to play for.

for as shit as the bitters were today they are what 15 points ahead of us?

[Chris Jameson]

Shit manager with shit tactics, mixed in with a load of morons claiming to be footballers producing extremely shit set-pieces and shit boring football.

I take it you are talking about the opposition?

No one cares about them.

Right, didn't see the game but you seem to be on your own with that opinion.

Someone said on the match thread (ozzjim I think) that Tiny Penis had complained to the FA about the ref who should originally have had this game and the FA appointed this ref instead - presumably one who wouldn't give decisions that annoy Pulis. It looked nailed on to me and the ref had a clear view.

[Steve R]

I am a bit surprised as some of the negativity. We played the ball forwards from defence very well, we created some very good positions from good passing and movement. Not an easy thing to do against a Pulis team, I doubt Smethwick have been so second fiddle on their own patch all season.

It all went a bit flat when we got to their penalty area, with a series poor crosses and no presence in their penalty area at all. Well we knew where we handed five months ago and it wouldn't mattered at all with a bit of even handed refereeing.

Against that, we denied Smethwick any opportunity to  register a meaningful shot on target of their own. That is probably a rare experience for them at home too.

We have come on leaps and bounds from the disjointed shambles of a few menths ago. It is probably too late, but there's still a sliver of a chance.

Be great if they went down with us but I think they have somehow scrambled enough points to get over the line. That said I can't see them picking up too many the rest of the season
