Villa v Leeds Post-Match thread

[mr underhill]

blimey are we never happy as supporters? I have yet to see Villa defeated at home this season - how tedious is that!

[Axl Rose]

In 7.6 billion years time the sun will reach its maximum size, and its surface will extend beyond Earth's orbit by 20 percent. Our planet will be engulfed by continuous nuclear fusion and all life will be extinguished.

I want to know what Bruce is going to do about it

"We'll pick wor selves up off the floor and disperse rapidly across the galaxy in the form of carbon"

And 'go again' if Lambert was in charge

[ROBBO]

The penalty came about because of the pressure Gestede applied, my worry is that without the option of
that kind of player we will struggle up forward.

[The Edge]

We have two European Cups between us too don't we?

No. Leeds have never won the European Cup.

I'm surprised we're willing to let him go at the moment to be honest. I'm not a massive fan of him but like you said, he's a good option to bring on if we're chasing or need to win a game.

That's not how they tell it.

Me too but Bruce said the other day that he has too many strikers and he is a bit part player who he can get some money for so I guess he is willing to sacrifice that IF he can use it to strengthen elsewhere.

 Could I just say a big thank you to the family who run the car park on Trinity Road.

My 12 year old thought he we had transported ourselves to Barbados in June, deciding that a villa top with a flimsy hoodie would suffice. Me thinking he had the brains he was born with didn't check he'd got his coat - so we were just about to go back to Lichfield.

We park behind one of the houses on the Trinity and have done regularly for years. The lad collecting the money heard out somewhat heated discussion about hyperthermia and gave him a coat to keep him warm for the game.

Fantastic kids, wouldn't take extra for the loan of the coat. Thank you.

I don't think Dr.T is obliged to throw much more money into the playing squad next month. IMO we need to release more players than we bring in, replacing dross who barely/don't contribute with astute signings. If SB believes the money he can recoup from sales is better spent then good for him. I prefer the policy of buying emerging talent already performing with distinction at this level who see Villa as the next step. Throw in an experienced head whose level of professionalism is undiminished and doesn't see us as an easy payday and we are getting somewhere.

Lovely story.

Oh fuck, "happy clappy" has made an appearance? Surely should result in a two match ban whoever brought that old chestnut back.

Just looked it up. The Fairs cup was not much to shout about and not recognised by fifa as a European trophy. But im sure Leeds fans will claim it as the European cup which is laughable really. And Leeds do seem to have a lot of media friends who can wait to get over excited about them.

It's more to do with their sense of injustice at losing 2-0 to Bayern in the '75 final, which at the time they took in the only manner fitting, smashing the place up.

The Edge, I was taking the mick, I know they've not won the European Cup, the sad twats.

Wasnt the fairs cup basically open to all of the big cities in europe with no qualifcation required hence small heath playing in it
