WBA v Aston Villa Post Match Thread (FUCK THE ALBION)

[PeterWithesShin]

The only side that tried to win the tie is the one going to Wembley, you don't get any more of a deserved winner than that imo.

Amidst all the celebrations, I hope there is a bit of recognition that we were very poor at times tonight.  That said, beating them on penalties on their own patch is very satisfying.

Albion's approach was straight out of the Steve Bruce handbook and they got what they deserved.

Who gives a fuck about the performance we’re through and that’s all that matters.

Sky reckon McGinn was our best player over 2 legs. I thought they were the worst two games he’s had for us

I'd say El Ghazi was.

we had 40 minutes to score against 10 men
we were awful hardly troubled them

not bothered right now but I’m telling you we will have to play a million times better than that at Wembley if we are going to win

Which no one disagrees with, but it's a load of shite that we didn't deserve unless you think a side that no matter how many men they had on the pitch had little to no interest in venturing out their own half did deserve it.

Albion played exactly the kind of football you have said dozens of times you hate and yet now it's a style of football that deserved to win?

They put 10, then 9, men behind the ball at all times. They ended up with 26% of the possession and didnt register a shot for almost an hour. We might not have been clinical but we put 20+ shots on frame and dominated. They sat back, as always, and let the tension in the park get to us. That little dumpy shed with barely 26k seats. Albion should be reaching in the couch cushions for cash after this match. To call them a football club is a stretch. We deserved to win.

My favourite moment was the Jedi's pen. Just knew he wouldn't miss.

We weren’t brilliant but fuck me I’m not having this “deserved nothing” stuff.

Over two legs we were the only side trying to play football, had god knows how much of the possession, most of the chances etc. Yes I know stats don’t give the whole picture, yes most of our better players didn’t shine, and we looked short of ideas -but we were miles ahead of our stripey friends.

Tough two legged game against local rivals who finished above us in the league and we won.

Fuck em - fully deserved.

What's all this West Brom can be proud of themselves plucky losers bullshit sky are coming out with? Maybe if they hadn't spent the entirety of both legs trying to boot us off the park they wouldn't have had to play for so long with 10 men. The got what they bloody deserved.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Well deserved win and great to do it in front of their shit-house fans.

Yeah not our finest performance, but we played better over two legs. They didn't even attempt to play football i either leg and when that shithead Brunt got the red card it was all the deserved.

Now lets fuck Leeds (or Derby) over!!!!

Time to find a ticket to Wembley and find someone to cover my lecture in Estonia.

Agree hilts El Ghazi was our best player Grealish mostly neutralised and SJM looked frustrated by his own performances. Although to be fair he mucked in tonight and did a lot of unglamorous tackling, drawing fouls and tying up players.

Sky reckon McGinn was our best player over 2 legs. I thought they were the worst two games he’s had for us

I thought he was good tonight, not his dominant self but showed for the ball constantly and did 'a bit of a jack' in drawing fouls from people, Brunt assaulted him 3 times and there was one where Hegazi was all over him and the ref let it go which was a clear free kick on the edge of the box.

[cdbearsfan]

We were nowhere near our best. Playing two and a third games in four days against such a physical team was always going to be tough. We always looked more likely to score than them and we always looked like having more obvious penalty takers than them due to not getting any thugs sent off and not being cowards and taking our only forward off. We deserved it more than them.

The rest will do us good.

Bring on Derby/Leeds. Hmmm... need a portmanteau. Bring on Der-ty Leeds.

Exactly.  They can be thoroughly ashamed of the way they conducted themselves over two legs.  But they won't be.
