Moral Victories. We Never Get Any Luck.

Don't forget they won THE trophy today. The one you get for claiming to have more fans drinking in pubs in town.

Which, I can assure you as I sit here quietly in The Sun on The Hill is not the case.

I’ve found another.

We did compete.
If Monk had their budget we’d have won

The way I see it is, look around. See anyone with the bollocks on brazen display (bracelet, chain, badge, neck tattoo, phone cover); blose.

Eeeeeeeeveryone else; Villa.

Everyone you see in town not wearing football colours today is a B-Loser fact!

They certainly stood out at the game today. They were easy to spot, they were the ones in Peaky caps taking selfies in front of the Holte End and the sign on the side of the Trinity Road stand.

By Friday they will be talking like they actually won the game.  You can never beat Blues, only score more goals than them.

By Friday??? You can bet your life they were all discussing another moral victory over us as soon as they were in the pub after the game.

There's a clear pattern that emerges through the week after we have beaten them.  First few days - "we might have won if such and such had / hadn't happened" (even after they have conceded four goals). By midweek it's "we definitely would have won if such and such had / hadn't happened".  By the end of the week it has become "everyone knows we would have won if such and such had / hadn't happened.  Villa got the three points, but we won really so we can't really take it as a loss".

Their level of performance gets better through the week as well.  After the game you do get a few of them admitting that the better team won, but by the end of the week every single one of them claims they were by far the better side and played brilliantly.

But we won 6 corners to 3

There were a couple in the Trinity boxes. Looked like there was a bit of a discussion there.

Evidently a journalist from sky by the name of Skudder has tweeted that only having 2000 fans there is a massive disadvantage and having more would have given them a better chance. he also thinks we should only get 5% of their current 29000 capacity for the away game. That way we will be overawed by 23000 baying neanderthals.

Chris Skudder lifelong Bluenose to be fair.

Happy birthday Craig xx

Yes.  Enjoy your salty, tear stained birthday now, y'hear.

He looks a really poor player now, who only really offers anything at set pieces.  Got hooked as well which is always a nice moment!

Franksie on WM said Gardner was man of the match!!

[PeterWithesShin]

You misheard, he said "neanderthal man of the match".

Wow that was some lemon sucking going on there

“The only reason they got 4 and we got 2 is that they have a much better attack”

Isn’t that usually why any team beats another 4-2?

That's the thing.  It is worth all their nonsense in the build up to the game just to be able to sit back after another victory and read and listen to stuff like that.
