Wolves v Aston Villa post match thread.

[joe_c]

Some 'Villa fans' decided to smash the Billy wright statue last night, wankers, absolute wankers!

It was hit by a drink driver in the early hours of the morning. Nothing to see here.

Aaaagh apologies, my mate sent me a picture saying it was Villa fans... my bad.

Same here. I think the Express and Star jumped the gun initially.

A nose told me the statue had been vandalised, obviously inferring the away support was responsible. I replied that it was a bit like when Princess Diana was vandalised in Paris.

Every day I read posts from people on here saying "my [insert team here]-supporting mate says / has tweeted x or y"  and they don't get slammed for it. What's the difference between them and Quinton Villa?

Because he does it after every one of our away games. It get's tiresome but maybe it's just me that thinks it, i don't know.

You post some tiresome shit on here as well Clampy.
But it's a forum so .we just get on with it

Absolutely. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Steve Bruce ..This is the greatest ever  club you will ever manage in your life , and you know this. So make the most of this precious time here and do your up most up to get us back where we belong.
so for a start..
stop playing the fuckwits who were useless last season and got us in this shit in the first place . They are not good enough , they are mid table to lower table championship rubbish.
Please stop it and sort it quick...

Shirley it's not about Bruce, but the shite he's inherited from those that have gone before him?! There's evidently no 'quick fix' in the offing, so it's gonna take a good close-season of bringing in quality for dross: and organising a team that has the quality & depth to mount a proper promotion challenge. Frankly. I'm just thankful that we now have a manager that actually HAS a clue; and one that is experienced enough to prevent our catastrophic drop through the divisions. Things could be a lot better, but they could be a whole lot worse. Time needs to be our friend now - and not our enemy.

Agnonlahor up front, Jedinak in a two, 3rd worst goal scorers in the second division, by far the worst football in the league...... Thank fuck we have somebody who 'has a clue' though.

Perhaps Bruce has gone doolally and lost any semblance of organisation and motivation, but I personally maintain that he will get this mess sorted - given time & money. I think of how B&HA were a couple of years ago when Hughton inherited a side that was hitherto plummeting to the third tier; and how it has taken him until this season to put out a side which look capable of promotion & survival in the Prem. Barring CH, I can't think of another manager I would be more effective than Bruce at rebuilding a Championship squad to mount a serious promotion challenge: but it's going to take more time than many are currently willing to give him. I really do appreciate the ever-growing frustration, but there's clearly no quick fix in the offing. I say judge the guy after the transfer activity in the Summer - because a good number of our current squad need to be replaced if we're to pull ourselves out of this seemingly terminal malaise.

after spending the best part of £100m on players in the last couple of years I would have expected Old Mother Hubbard to have got us higher than 13th in Division 2.

Bit misleading as it's about £40m net. We should be higher mind.

[AndyB6]

It's a value for money thing as well. We have paid silly money for sub-standard players. We can all see how Di Matteo's summer recruitment was very poor 

[brian green]

I agree Auntie.  The factor we constantly discount is that our players/board/owner/manager have gone raving mad.  It would explain a great deal.  Why are we playing Gabby, why has Westwood got 150 first team starts, why didn't Barry take the penalty?

That old adage about 'a fool & their money' sadly springs to mind.   

[BOB MANSFIELD]

I personally don't put SB into the category of a fool with other people's money...but he does have to make it look as if he wants to make things work for the long term. he has a job to protect, after all.

I don't either Bob. Let's hope & pray he manages to buck the recent trend of signing up overpriced dross.

[brian green]

I am sure he will but he is not a miracle worker.  His style is getting more things right that he gets wrong.  He will get us back in the Premiership I have no doubt.  It is just going to be a bumpy ride.

[JUAN PABLO]

I'm no fan of Hutton but since Bruce has been here, I think he's been ok but that might be because he's found his level. I'd play Bacuna right back personally. It's the one position that suits him best and he's got the ability to put the ball into box unlike Hutton.

I would have expected the bone or the cupboard to get us in the top ten

Wolves fans are laughing more at how crap our fans were more than how crap our team was.

Are they?

The atmosphere was flat, surprising for a late kick off and a bit of local needle, the Wolves fans looked as bored by proceedings as we did. If they are claiming their contribution to the atmosphere was anything special they must have a much different idea on what a good one is.

QuintonVilla's obsession about our fans is becoming a bit tiresome. Besides, how would he know they were laughing at our support? How ridiculous.

I was there and I commented on how crap the atmosphere was in our end, hardly an obsession is it? We pride ourselves on our away support but the atmosphere has been poor at several away games this season, although the football and results do nothing to help of course.
I've got several Wolves mates and I'm on Twitter, hence how I know they were taking the piss.

Many years ago I gave a shit about what other supporters thought of us but now realise they are insanely jealous of us, on those days I'd be straight back having a pop that they got their highest attendance of the season and then, with many witnesses, did that Tim Lovejoyesque Viking clap thing at the end.

Hideous Fever Pitch, Soccer AM, banz nonsense.

The atmosphere was indeed shit, they really didn't help it.
