Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

But Clampy you're talking as if today is an exception, when in reality it's the norm for our recent home games.  Norwich was the exception.

You're begging to differ what? That we looked excellent Tuesday, that we looked tired today? That it was a very physical game?

Sorry I thought you meant today wasn't tedious. It was.  As were at least two of the last three home games.

Just because you thought it was tedious, doesn't mean anyone else has to think the same.

I never said they did, I'm expressing my opinion , based on nearly 50 years of watching Villa, not telling you or anyone else what to think.

But that still doesn't mean other people shouldn't find today tedious. You did and maybe others did, that's fine. I didn't and maybe others didn't either. Simple really.

Blimey Taylor straight red, thought he was last man or something.

Out of the derby aswell. Left back is now a problem.

Why have you got it into your head that I think everyone should agree with me?  You're just being a bit strange now.

Gordon Bennett this thread is tetchy tonight! I shudder to think what would have happened if we’d lost.

Ok, we'll leave it there.

Well I found it tedious and I accept that is a subjective view. Objectively, we had 3 shots on target against the bottom team in the division who had a goal difference of -17 fairly early in.the season.

If we have to do this against all sides that park the bus with the same outcome, then I will be a happy bunny, but I will not say it wasn't tedious.

People are tetchy as far too.many expected us to simply turn up and Bolton would hand over three points and graciously let us score 4,5 or 6.

It was the first time I'd seen them play and I expect it was for most. They're limited for sure, but they're incredibly awkward to play against with their physical presence and constant fouling.

Richard, please specify which Gordon Bennett you mean.  That sort of vagueness is really annoying.  Kicks cat.

I actually thought Bolton played quite well to be honest. They wasn't as bad as I thought they were going to be although didn't look great at the back but they made it hard for us and I don't blame them really. I'm just chuffed we got the points.

Not until you describe properly how you kicked the cat. Honestly, some people.

[Richard E]

I thought Bolton were hard working and physical but pretty terrible as a football team.

I feared after our good run and Bolton's miserable start that we could become the stooge to blind squirrel idiom  but we didn't and that's to our credit. I have made no secret of my dissatisfaction at tedious home performances however today I thought it was anything but due to the fact that the opposition came here determined to end their poor run and knock us off the park. We stood up well to them and Davis and Kodjia (sorry Jimmy) will have a few bruises  to show for that.

[brian green]

Just a toe poke under the table.  Look it's simple enough Richard.  There was Gordon Bennett Snr and Gordon Bennett Jnr.  It should not be asking too much for you to be specific about which one's name you chose to introduce into a discussion about tedium.
