Aston Villa v Bristol City post-match thread

[London Villan]

11 shots on target to their 1... obviously unlucky and you don't get 3 for 1 "goal" you rugby following muppets...

As for the atmosphere - it wasn't great, hardly intimidating and for large parts of the game it was subduded. The best recently at VP was the last few minutes v Boro in the playoff semi, it was a loud as I've ever heard the ground.

They had 2 shots on target.

The best angle for viewing if it was a penalty would have been straight down the pitch and plenty from the Holte End are saying nailed on so I would go with that.  For the offside, it looked to me that Weimann was half a yard offside when the ball was played in but, again the camera angle was not the best.

I was in Trinity Upper and it looked as if he got held from my angle. The TV angle from Witton Lane made it look very soft.

Their fans will soon get over it.
I think Rugby Union is the main sport in Bristol.

Apple mulching and sheep worrying.

The goal disallowed for offside and the goal itself?

Jesus the state of their forum. They were outclassed yet should have won?

Maybe it's the effects of this division, maybe I'm still a bit drunk, but I thought Diedhiou looked decent. O'Leary is only a kid in 'keeper terms, but if yesterday was anything to go by, one to watch in the future. And did anyone else think that that Kasey Palmer, the 45, did a pretty damn fine impression of Adama Traore while he was on?

Don't suppose it counts if it's offside?

Arguably the best of the eight wins, with Mings and Grealish missing and against our nearest rival in the table.

El Ghazi was unplayable at times. On his day he is far too good for this league but let's be honest, if he wasn't inconsistent then he wouldn't be slumming it in the Championship.

The improvement in and how Smith has got the likes of Whelan and Taylor playing is remarkable. Shows what good coaching can do and it helps that we play on the front foot and limits the amount of defending Taylor has to do.

Bristol City fans definitely mirror their manager. He's an odious little prick with little man syndrome and is always very salty. Their fans on Twitter and their forum are the saltiest I've seen this season aswell.
I thought the atmosphere was decent in parts and loud at times yet according to them VP was a library, one of the quietest sell out crowds they've ever seen and the quietest set of home fans they've seen this season. Now either they're telling porkies or the acoustics at VP are terrible. I barely heard their fans and thought they seemed very subdued for an away support.

I was sat about 20 yards from them and barely heard a peep.

The odd 'come you reds', which is a bit thick when you're playing in white.

File under 'shit, no mark clubs we won't play again for 20 years unless it's in a cup'. I bet half their twats have a 'soft spot' for Man Utd or Liverpool too.

I would like Johnson and their fans to stay in the bubble of delusion  they have built around themselves so if by some miracle they manage to get to play-off final they will be easy pickings for us.

This division does seem to have a lot of clubs with strange ideas about their place in the food chain, yet we're the arrogant ones.

[Lastfootstamper]

Nine years in the top division, over half of which pre-dated the sinking of the Titanic. Shut up.

[CT]

What a horrible club we are though.

Fancy having our own fans at both ends of our own ground.

It isn't fair. Clearly the Bristol City fans would have made an incredible noise if they'd been 90 degrees further around.
