Aston Villa vs Norwich City Post-Match Thread

Did James Chester's misses give birth at the final whistle....his boy/girl looks 10 minutes old.

The bloke who sits in row 28 seat 250ish in the family area needs to find something else to do with his time. Considering it was a B team playing a relatively unimportant match and there were no real stand out bad decisions or poor performances, he moaned and whined at full volume about the ref, the players, the linos for 90 odd minutes as if they had ritually killed his first born. Didn't even have the good grace to fuck off until the final whistle. On the plus side, Tammy Abraham was fantastic, signed loads of stuff including my son's shirt and smiled from start to finish. Jack was a bit less friendly and, ominously, didn't say anything when I begged him to stay. Did sign my boy's shirt though. The stewards were a miserable bunch and actually told Jack to stop signing things when there were only about 4 kids left waiting. Fortunately, he ignored them.

Not taking any sides, but I imagine that’s a tough thing to be begged to stay at the club he loves even if we fail again, when he’s been transparent already that this is the last chance.

Oh, as for the match, first 10 mins I thought we were going to get hammered then we got a grip and some of our players did their stuff and a few showed why they don't normally get into the first team. I agree we aren't clinical in front of goal despite having scored so many. A draw, which we nearly achieved, would have been a reasonable result with Mings, Jack, McGinn, Mings and El Ghazi missing.

It was tongue in cheek. He wasn't as friendly as Tammy, but Tammy was super smiley.

Was Jack doing Blue-Steel?

I've just had to look that up. Yes, that was about right. He tutted when I didn't hold my daughter's shirt tight enough for him to sign... I actually don't think he even heard the mournful middle aged man saying 'don't go, Jack.'

I think I would let him gob on me as he walked away on a bed of freshly thrown rose petals. On the other hand his misses is minging, gas bills have gone up and he's on nights for the rest of the week so he has every right not to smile at you...peasant.

Yes I would expect a reasonable result with two Mings in the team.

I meant to put in two John McGinns. And one Tammy.

...Fiiiiive gold rings.

just back - somehow I feel a bot deflated, even though it was a half strength side we created a lot of chances and once again failed to score more than one. We need everyone back and playing to the top of their game to win through against WBA.

Gutted to hear about your bot deflation, mr underhill. Hope you recover swiftly.

[Clampy]

I thought we played quite well to be honest but probably should have put the chances away we had. Whelan and Kodjia stood out for me. The goal we gave away was extremely sloppy though.

[kieron]

BB awful today. Lansbury good. Green/Adomah not so good. Need AEG back. Good job his red was rescinded. Good to see Hutton on the pitch and he played his usual game but his time at the club is almost up. A remarkable run him considering how average he is.

You're Footyskillz aren't you?

No, XXVilla doesn't take up 13 forum pages to post 3 paragraphs.

[SoccerHQ]

Just 5 pages on a game we lost 6 hours after the final whistle sums up the dead rubber of this I think.

Good old days of January we'd be onto 12 by now!
