Aston Villa vs SHA: Post-Match Thread

[OzVilla]

Lovely feeling to send these gimps packing again.  UTFV you tramps.

Hello, didn’t think we were at our best but we always had too much for them. Laughed my leg off when they hit the post instead of going 2-0 up and within a couple of minutes they were 2-1 down. They’ll always break yer ‘eart Tom 😀

Obviously you can’t stop watching Hutton’s worldly, next time you do see how after he scores Kleftenbellend swings a kick at Hutton, they just can’t help themselves.

Beepity beep beep beep

As if a Blose fan would understand what a library was.

Someone doesn't know it's 'should have', not 'should of'.

Genuinely surprised they even know how to spell Library never mind actually knowing what one is.

There's a video on Twitter of the unwashed standing silent, as they did for most of the game, being drowned out by four sides of Villa Park singing. Lee Hendrie posted it.

If the unwashed had strained their porcine ears they would have heard me singing in Suffolk and my younger son singing in Cologne.  We reach further than the pubs of Birmingham city centre.

Disagree with a previous poster about Whelan, I thought he was a liability with the ball always passing square or backwards. New keeper needed badly I've wanted this guy to prove us wrong but for his size he's a bit of a mouse. Love the way Smith sets us up we just need a decent centre back someone of a decent size we look dodgy against tall forwards.

Whelan played well as a covering MF, albeit he did pass into danger a couple of times.
Nyland is getting better ... I can't really fault him for the 2 yesterday, since on the first he was blocked out by the #9 and the second Hourihane was not covering back.
We definitely need another CB!

This a wonderful feeling this morning love it what a day beating the scum 4-2 great drinking with the lads after the game ruined Small Heaths big day out absoulutely buzzing thank you Villa.

Great result, if not a performance. Fortunate when they hit the post & that we then got 2 quick goals. Great to see Jack score & Hutton's goal was a sight to behold.

Only disappointment was the behaviour of some of our fans in the Lower Trinity trying to get at some Nose's in the boxes behind. Grown men acting like dickheads & frightening the life out of young kids.

That will probably be the noses in the boxes in the Trinity Middle who were giving it large when they scored their first calling the Villa fans in front of them - including the lady in front of me with her 6 year old daughter - "wan*ers", "loser cu**s" and "scum". The one nose was goading the Villa fans close to him and disappeared into the safe refuge of his box as soon as the stewards arrived....which took some time!
So yes, you're right...grown men acting like dickheads!

Well said. I saw it all. The Villa fans in question probably did over react but it was the obnoxious Blue nose that was the instigator. The stewards were pretty poor too. One guy told the steward that the blues fan was being abusive to people and his reaction was to tell the villa fan to sit down or risk being ejected from the ground. That was the cue for people to erupt. Not good all round.

I thought Nyland played well yesterday. I certainly didn’t feel as though he was in anyway a liability, he couldn’t do anything about either goal and generally his kicking and distribution was excellent. I thought our poorest players were Chester and Hourihane, Chester hasn’t been quite right all season and Hourihanes passing, set pieces aside, was off all
game. I thought Kodjia was alright as well, not brilliant but certainly worth persevering with.

But fuck it, we beat them 4-2 so who cares. I’m one of Hutton’s biggest critics I just don’t think he’s that good but fuck me I’m still smiling about that goal yesterday.

Brian - why weren't you there. if you don't mind me asking?

I saw the commotion from my seat in the Lower Holte but I didn't know what had happened.

[exigo]

Special mention to Chester, who didn't have the best of games, but did have the clarity of thought to stay in their half to prevent Blues kicking off after Hutton's goal. Well played, skip.

[AV82EC]

Anyone going to start the Forest Prematch thread? whilst it’s good to beat them down the road we’ve now got bigger fish to fry.

From my seat on the back row of the Trinity Middle - right in front of the boxes - it was the celebrating of the Noses, the Villa fans telling them to sit down/shut up and then the overt abusive comments and gestures of the Noses...."our" steward, the only one nearby, made his way over but by then it was getting nasty and out of control...and as Edge says, it was overreaction by everyone. But it is something of an issue there...Sheff Wed fans did the same recently and caused trouble as have Arse and ManU fans over the years. They buy a ticket in the boxes, completely ignore the terms and conditions and think they can do wtf they like because they have paid for a box. Yesterday was the worst I've seen in the last 10 years and it only calmed down when the Noses went indoors.

And then the football took over......
UTV!
