Aston Villa v Everton Post-Match Thread

[saunders_heroes]

Yes, the Newcastle scenario. I really don't want them giving it the big one at Villa Park after our schadenfreude at their expense a few years back. Let's hope they join us in the drop.

[ROBBO]

I give Allan Hutton credit I really believe he is one who cares and gives his all the fact that he isn't that talented shouldn't detract from his effort. Can't believe someone said Westwood was decent the most ineffectual player I've ever seen and with the level of talent that has got us where we are today. I can see some of our players having a decent time of it in the championship because for most of the it's their level.

Hahaha fucking Burton. Jesus!

Apparently the Burton fans were singing  non stop about us tonight.......

Yet another tin pot mob whose favourite song is 'Shit on the Villa'.

Better being metaphorically covered in shit than living somewhere which reeks of fermenting and digestion.

Down with this sort of thing

Drink! Feck! Arse! Girls! Women! RIP Frank Kelly

I will love it if we relegate them, love it.

Everton didn't even have to try and win, I doubt they left second gear. I've only seen the goals once at the game, but they all seemed so fucking easy, mainly thanks to utterly wank defending.

That's just the story of our season.

Fuck knows how many times we've put together some really nice bits of football only to spunk it away through stupidity.

It seems to be:

*play well*
*pass it around*
*pass it around a bit more*
*look decent but unthreatening*

*drop fucking embarrassing schoolboy football level clanger*

*fall to pieces*

*space* -r

If you were to somehow gain access to Villa Park at about two-o-clock tomorrow morning when everyone has gone and take up your seat, the noise you would hear would be deafening.  Would you be imagining it? No, what you would be hearing is the sound of my father and thousands upon thousands of long gone supporters and long gone heroic players who actually gave a shit sobbing their hearts out at what is happening to their club.

I'm approaching the twilight of my years and, frankly I'm scared.  I'm scared that I may never again see my club play in the top flight where it belongs and always has belonged.  I have faith that we will rise again for that is what we do, that is Aston Villa, I just hope it doesn't take as long as I think it may.

I share your pain Dave. This is lowest the Villa have been in my lifetime. Lerner go away, you pathetic excuse for a human being.

[LukeJames]

We want Lerner out; Randy Lerner out
I just don't think you understand
From European nights....to relegation fights
We want Randy Lerner out

Repeat until the whole ground is singing

Great song Jordan; as Dave said earlier it may have taken 2,000 attempts to write a good one but this is pure class - shame I was the only one in the Lower Doug singing it but I'm sure it'll catch on. Sorry to the little lad in front who my sister says was frightened by my loud voice.

Thing about that song is, Randy Lerner wants out himself......

Yeah and he wants a ridiculous price to rid himself of the club.

[PeterWithe]

Burton are claiming a rivalry with us? Blimey.

In patches we weren't bad. Apart from at the back, where we were nearly as bad as the last home game. I can't remember ever seeing a player have so much room in a box as the winger did for their third.

Please let in end. Can we send the club brick by brick, lace by lace to Dignitas?

[amfy]

I like that the new Lerner Out song allows us to protest without creating a shit atmosphere.

I know he wants to go anyway, but it's only really just occurred to me that he might hang on next season in the hope that we come back up and he doesn't have to take such a big loss..........and he really needs to go because him staying turns going down again, and him losing even more money, into a complete certainty.

I thought tonight that we have the feel of a house that has a rotting kipper down the back of the sofa and no-one can quite work out where the stench is coming from.

I don't want him to sell us for 27p to any passing cowboy, but he really does need to concentrate his mind in leaving now.

[curiousorange]

Garde in the Mail bemoaning the lack of commitment to defend set pieces. He's running out of euphemisms to call Micah Richards a c***.

[Somniloquism]

Didn't we have a decent defence with Dunne, Collins and Warnock in the team? Unfair to throw them in with that other lot.

Well, for one season, we did, at least until Dunne came back from injury the size of a fucking house. Let's not forget what an unprofessional fat fuck he was.

Good player though, and immensely better than the shit we've had since.

For one whole season.

THat's precisely the problem with this club for the last ten years plus. One season. Any other club would regard that as a dreadful failure, but we're so used to fucking shit, he's seen as a great player.

And as for being better than the shit we have had since, that's the faintest of praise.

For several years the seasoned pros who were supposed to be the foundations of the team have been the most well paid and also the worst performers and the ones behind the dressing room fractures. This started with the likes of Dunne and Collins and has continued until this day. Yes, Dunne for the 3/4* of one season played well, but people seem to forget that he was one of the first ones to cause a dressing room schism in the Houllier days. Instead we now have Richards doing that along with others. Does anyone really think that Dunne would be playing any better then Richards, Lescott and the others today in this team?

* Until he dropped that ricket in the Cup final to let Owen in. Then he seemed to have lost it after that.

Only just summoned up the energy to post after being at the game earlier.  Yet another spineless and pathetic performance.  We made it so easy for them that it looked like Gareth Barry's testimonial at times.  Barry could have played in an armchair tonight it was so comfortable for him in midfield.  I thought Gana and Ayew were the only ones who showed any kind of fight, but Ayew was rusty after his lay off and Gana makes errors that belong in Sunday league football.  Bacuna and Westwood starting in midfield together says it all really.

I'm eating cheese and biscuits and a large glass of red and it's lovely

For some reason this cheered me up no end! I am enjoying a good beer after enduring the sheer love-in of the baggies commentary on WM. Seriously thought the co-commentator had shot his bolt at one point. They forgot to check in at the Villa and when they did, pot shots all round.
Still, on to the championship..........
