Other Games - 2016/17

Agree tomd - Ajax showing a complete lack of vim

The whole guard of honour thing is a load of nu football type shite.

It's actually an old custom that died out and has been revived lately.

I used to have a poster on my bedroom wall of Coventry doing it for Villa with Dennis Mortimer leading us out but I can't remember which success they were acknowledging?

It must have been the League Cup in 1977. We won it on 13th April and our next game was at Coventry on the 16th. We won, 3-2 (Cowans, Deehan, Little).

I'd have thought that Nicholl, rather than Mortimer, led us out though, as he was captain at the time.

We didn't play Coventry immediately after any of our league or cup wins when Mortimer was captain.

Ŵas there as a 12 year old in the Coventry end with my old man. Seem to recall a very hot day

Very disappointed in Ajax tonight.

Yep.  That 20 year old Colombian CB looks a player though.

They couldn't deal with United's dirty tricks.

They just couldn't get clean through

They've hardly been Brillo.

[Jon Crofts]

Mata should have been off.

[VILLA MOLE]

jose is such a prize knob head

True dat.

[TonyD]

Can't argue with that.  Deserved to win.
Our day will come.   

[curiousorange]

As a totem, a good thing. As a game, dreadful.

[Sexual Ealing]

I caught the build-up on the radio. The Ajax fans belting out Three Little Birds is really something.

[VillaAlways]

Can I just say I absolutely hate Man United. Mainly shit all season but still somehow wind up in the Champions league

[cdbearsfan]

The general disdain for the two trophies they have won is particularly nauseating. They only seem to care that they have qualified for a wealthier tournament.
