Aston Villa v Brentford Post Match Thread

[Nottsbee]

Hi, Brentford fan here.

Apologies - posted this earlier on the wrong thread...

Hope you don't think I'm being too presumptuous in popping in to give you some advice about coping with life in the Champioship. It's our third year here and we've learnt quite a bit along the way.

Firstly, never underestimate your opponents. The majority of Villa fans are fine but there was a lot of pre-match talk about 'annihilating a pub team' and there are comments here assuming you should be easily beating 'the likes of Brentford'. Show some humility and, like Burnley last year, you still have a good chance of going up. Remain arrogant and the fate of Leeds awaits you.

Secondly, don't assume that because in the summer you spent more than Brentford in their entire history that you're in for an easy ride. We're familiar with Kodija, McCormack and Gestede and we've thrashed Bristol City, Fulham and Blackburn when they've been playing for them. (Mind you, it was a great goal by Kodija). The truth is that you've probably overpaid for these players whereas we, through necessity, pick up underpriced bargains from the lower leagues. Ryan Woods, anyone?

Thirdly, give some credit to the opposition. You may not have previously been able to name any of our players or even locate Brentford on a map but there are some good teams in this league and you will find it difficult to beat them. Perhaps your underperformance last night was due to Brentford not allowing you to play. (And no-one here seems to have mentioned Scott Hogan's wrongly disallowed goal).

Fourthly, less of the patronising 'you raised your game because it's your Cup Final' stuff. Leeds are still coming out with this and they still haven't been able to beat us. Be smart, don't be like Leeds.

That's not to say that Brentford didn't enjoy Villa Park last night. It's a great old-school stadium with history and character. We look forward to welcoming you to our more humble abode next year.

I don't think many in here thought Brentford would be an easy game, other than jokingly.

What difference does the fans attitude towards the opposition have to do with what happens on the pitch.

No offense mate, I hope you enjoyed your trip but fuck off.

The insufferable clichéd shite that these Mickey Mouse twats trip out is fucking tedious.

Micky Mouse twats we can't b

The insufferable clichéd shite that these Mickey Mouse twats trip out is fucking tedious.

Micky Mouse twats we can't beat - and you said it would be so easy to walk this league as I remember.

Whether I can predict the weather doesn't alter the fact that this league is utter shite. Just so happens we have a manager fit for it.

Anyway, there's plenty of nothing clubs we've not beaten over the years. It's a traditional thing.

[Jimbo]

I never underestimated Brentford for a minute. The Holte Enders around me were in agreement when their fans sang 'boring Villa'. But there's nothing worse than a sanctimonious fan of a little club. (See WBA).

Some advice for you, Brentford fan: Don't ever tell fans of the club who invented the league you're playing in how to fucking behave.

Fair comment for me. Good advice that will be spat on by too many...

[LeeB]

My point was only on reference to this particular Mickey Mouse twat, with his sweeping generalisations of how we think, and how we should behave.

[aj2k77]

Point 1, don't underestimate your opponents - Most Villa fans expect us to fuck it up no matter who we are against
Point 2, don't expect an easy ride - We're in agreement that we aren't good enough to get promoted right now
Point 3, give the opposition some credit - To be fair, we've been the better team in nearly every game and the standard is pretty shit.

So with all your points proven to be bollocks you can take your attempt at Villa bashing and shove it up your arsehole.

If I believed that Villa fans had all written off Brentford he might have a point, but I don't think anyone did. Also saying we've overpaid for players because Brentford beat their respective previous teams is just bollocks.

1. Sorry chap, forgot you lot arrived in Championship from Premier league, thus making your learnings irrelevant bollocks!

2. They were over priced because we were buying the best of the division.

3. Ryan who?

4. RDM stopped us from playing, not Brentford.

5. As mentioned previously, Fuck Off!

[oswald funkletrumpet]

fuck me i love a lecture 

anyway i can get more fans up my rusty bullet hole than you can fit in your two bob ground

or was it haribos?

[olaftab]

Nottsbee I don't think many said it but with due respect we should be annihilating teams like yours. Last night was the worst performance so far this season for us and we still should have won the match except for a lucky ricochet that took the ball into have net. So enjoy it whilst you can  and I wish you the best of luck back in 3rd division very soon.
