Aston Villa v Fulham Post Match Thread

[Deano's Mullet]

From where I was sat in the North Stand I didn't realize it was a scissor kick, just looked from where I was like it was on the volley so to see it back again now... wow! Great performance I thought, Fulham spend so look dicking about at the back passing to the keeper and amongst the defence I thought they'd pay for it eventually. And I cant say I am a fan of Don't Look Back in Anger right at the end, its a City song/band. Missed Hi Ho Aston Villa. Never mind.

As much as the midfield is looking a lot better, if and when we do go up you wouldn't want any of those three in your starting lineup

Indeed. Massive overhaul needed if we go up.

Not the best of games but great result. To hold my daughter up and see her face light up on her first trip to VP was bloody brilliant. This followed by a night out with the mrs without the kids is making this weekend a nice journey north. One more trip to the pub this afternoon before heading back west in the morning, happy days.

If we can afford it and find the right guy, a £15m midfielder would be my priority in January.

I loathe to say it - as I think he's PL quality - but I can see Ayew agitating for a move this winter so we should have the cash regardless.

Why would Ayew be"agitating for a move" no reason I can think of.

Is the Oasis song thing new?

Feels fantastic and suddenly the playoffs don't look too far off

Let's not get too excited. We've not played that well of late but we've been much more solid defensively and that makes a huge difference. There are so many shit defenders and / or mistakes in this league that with our firepower that approach always has a chance

This is what I think. If Bruce keeps us solid, even if he sacrifices an attacker to do it, then we've got at least 4 players who can make goals out of nothing in the course if a game, so we'll win more games than we draw or lose. It won't be especially pretty, as we've seen, but it's effective.

It actually makes you realise what a poor manager RDM was, since he was trying to force the issue with too many attackers and a non existent midfield when there was no need at all.

Not sure where you sit but as far I know there are no seats up there where you can lie down and watch?

No mate they recorded it back in 96

What's the whole Oasis shit about ? I'm completely puzzled how we've ended up with it

Sounds like your having a great time mate. You have given your daughter a true gift 😊 My first trip to VP was when the Witton End was terracing. A night match full house and my dad put me on his shoulders to look around. Unforgettable, I can still see it now. Huge crowd, floodlights,the Holte end looking like a mountain of people and cigarette smoke hovering above everyone's heads!
Thanks dad. Holte ender in the sky.

I f**king hate Oasis.

My mate said that yesterday,that it wasn't a villa song, I said it isn't but I think it's aimed at us fans not looking back in anger at Bruce for managing Small Heath, or some bullshit reason like that.

[LukeJames]

It was played after the Reading game, there was a video of our lot singing along to it, thats all there is too it.

[VillaAlways]

I read it as not looking back in anger at what has gone before i.e the Lerner years. Aren't the club responding to the fact that the fans have started singing it. It's very apt and I like it
