Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[tomd2103]

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.

I'm the same age and haven't seen them come to Villa Park in the same league as us that many times, let alone ahead of us.

Imo it was a pen and we'd be mightily pissed off if a decision like that had gone against us. But it was Real Wanderers so feck 'em, it just makes it even sweeter the sad, obsessed, tin pot gimps.

Neither of the incidents in question looked like penalties from where I was sat in the Holte.  Spoke to a friend on the way home who had watched the game on TV and when he said we were lucky to get away with a penalty, I genuinely hadn't got an idea what he was talking about.  It was only when I saw the highlights last night that it became apparent and have to say that it looked a penalty to me.

The handball is, the Doherty one isn't.

A special mention for the 4 Wolves morons Sat behind us in the Witton upper. Smug, mocking our fans and songs in the first half, stunned silence for most of the second. Their blank, gormless expressions at full time were a sight to behold.

Two blokes in my row in the North Stand upper left immediately after Thor's goal, no trace of pleasure on their faces, an old boy and a surprisingly well dressed man of around 50.

No aggro at all, but I couldn't resist a little "Never mind lads, enjoy the run in" as they shuffled past.

The Snodgrass one was an absolute stone wall pen

I really didn’t see what the claims for the other one were all about

[LeeB]

Even had they scored their precious possible penalty, we'd have probably jibbed them on the break again as they pressed on.

Men against boys.

Just got over the worst villa caused hangover since the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' semi final. Worth every second.

I think I love my club too much, I invest too much emotion in them and all the pent up rage of relegation, nervousness of this game, piss taking dingles anger came out in the sheer madness of celebration as our 2nd, 3rd and 4th goals went in. I’m floating and there is no better feeling as a football fan.

I’m amazed at the amount of wanky smug dingles I’ve had to endure down the pub, at work and on the radio. They honestly thought they’d just turn up to win after our non appearance at their place earlier.

We played MAGNIFICENTLY. Our team ran their socks off. All scorers took their goals and went for it. Their supposedly superior players were made to look very ordinary and I saw nothing special about them. Top of the league? Your having a laugh.

Steve Bruce I salute you sir. If I bump into you in my local, you wouldn’t buy a drink all night!

Grabban - what a master stroke of a signing!
Grealish - I’m loving your ability and I’m scared - you have the Holte on its feet every time you run with the ball, you’re attracting worldwide attention surely and you’ll leave us.
Snodgrass - brilliant deliveries and a winners mentality.
Bertie - I think your ace, get 20 goals!
Thor turned into Messi
Rest of the squad - play, win, dream !

To all the ‘mind the gap’ singing dingles - you have been soundly beaten nay dismantled and fully deservedly so. I can see the wheels have come off your campaign and you’ll battle in the playoffs to salvage your season. Ha!

This victory in the context of our season and one of the greatest results in the last few years.

Me and my club are ONE.

Has anyone seen a mock-up doing the rounds online of our lion rampant mauling their wolf like there was of the lion killing the Baggies bird after we doubled them in the league and cup in 2015?

Not many “mind the gap” tweets on the Villa hashtag today. I wonder why? :-)

Great post. Love that mate.

One thing-Grealish will never leave us.

[darren woolley]

What a game what a weekend one of the best I can remember in a long time I love the Villa with a passion and days like Saturday just make it so much better.

I'm pretty sure he will.  Being a fan is never enough, all players will move for money or trophies.

If he keeps this type of form up I think the best we can hope for would be one more season and a good fee.

[robbo1874]

I reckon if we look after him- he’ll be at VP for a long while. Build a side around him and let’s see what happens. He’s starting to look the player he was against the scousers

After all the crap we’ve endured over the past few years it’s games like these that make me realise why we I still do it
