Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[Jon Crofts]

There appeared to be a Wolves fan who celebrated their goal in one of the Witton Lane boxes near the Holte but other than a bit of pointing and shouting I couldn't see what happened afterwards.

Someone spilt their Prosecco.

It’s such a shame for their fans. The one time, absolute one time, they roll up at Villa Park in a supposedly far superior team than ours  playing their best football ever totally confident of performing like Brazil 70 and they take away the worst twatting ever of recent times. How sad😀

I mentioned beforehand, when was the last time they came to Villa ahead of us in the league. Certainly not in my lifetime and I'm 37.

Well, what an unexpectedly brilliant evening!
In the first half, it was pretty even, with neither side getting much goalside incidents apart from the goals. Second half - wow; that is how to announce yourself to the rest of the division!
Snodgrass was immense, despite the clear intention of the WW players to target him.
Grealish is now playing the magestic, Cryuff-like role that is his destiny.
Grabban has been an important addition, since he not only runs the channels, he also roughs up the CB (something Hogan is not really equipped to do as well). The third goal was a thing of beauty.
The manager got it right; thank you.

WW were not as impressive as I’d been expecting. They might even end up in the play offs... arff, arff.

We now need to stay grounded for the QPR game, and win that.

My favourite review of the match. Thank you, Mister E.

It was a penalty, the handball. But the bug clubs continue to get the decisions when playing the smaller sides.

Yes  and the ref would have found it difficult to get it past Terry. John would have over ruled him.

Yes....let's remember  who ref''s the games these days. Thought Terry again did a good job as ref.

My pleasure.
The Wolves fans elsewhere on the interweb really are giving it SW-proportions bitterness; it reminds me how proximate they are to the Bitters.
I quite like the idea that we are attracting opprobrium from opposition fans once again: it illustrates that we are not disappearing into some vanilla wasteland (known as Lamberkland) where no one cares about us.

Over the moon, Villa, fantastic! What a statement. And fair play to the Wolves fan who posted this.

Anyone else notice how frequently the Wolves players slipped/lost their footing yesterday? The state of the VP pitch might just be an advantage as our lads clearly had the right boots/studs on...

1979-80, and even then it was only by one place and one point.

And we more than made up for it in the next couple of seasons. 😁

I noticed that although I thought the  pitch held up ok.

That’s why you check your boots before the game.

Aha ha the old fashioned home advantage. Good if true and  long may it continue.
