He was joining in with the "Fuck the Albion" chants with more gusto than I imagine would be good for a man of his years.But I thought that was common knowledge and everyone who has ever visited this site knew that?

Albion came to play for the 0-0. After we'd gifted them the goal, it became the 1-0.They were absolutely without ambition beyond the long ball over the top for Gayle to latch on to. They were disgracefully short on attacking intent, I thought.More than that, though, I am struggling to recall the last time i saw such a prolonged example of shit-housery as they provided today. Time wasting from the start, players throwing themselves to the floor for long periods, dirty bastards who clattered into Jack for the first time after less than 60 seconds of the game, it was exactly like watching a Pulis side.By far the biggest factor for the second leg (other than us winning the first, of course) will be the absence of Gayle. He does look threatening, he's definitely a top flight quality player, and he's not going to be there.That'll be the end of his loan period at Albion now.I found myself wondering if he was just ensuring he could fuck off on holiday earlier than might otherwise be the case when he went through Steer.Oh and shout out to their fans, who I thought were pathetic, amongst the worst away fans we've seen at Villa Park this season, barely a peep out of them.

How long did it take you to get served at half time?

He had more of an effect on the game that anyone, and after 2 mins when he pulled play back after Jack had been fouled, but didnt book their player, just set the tone for the rest of the game.As he gave us a penalty, refused them what looked to me to be a penalty, booked Gayle for time wasting and later sent him off, I'd say the referee was ok today.
