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

[jwarry]

Just a word for Jedi.  Hardly plays all season but is professional enough to stay fit and step in and do a great job when Mings and Hause we’re out a few weeks ago.

Then last night steps up cool as a cucumber and scores a pen with his first kick of the game.  Probably his last contribution to the club and if it is what a great way to sign off.  He’s been a good servant during his time with us.  Cheers Jedi.

Hear hear

The other good thing is that McGuinn got through both games without getting booked and I was wondering if that might have been on his mind and affected his performances?

Albion’s attempt at creating an atmosphere....blue and white plastic flags. What a tin pot club.

Tuanzebe just gets better every match. From an awkward full back into an imperious  center back. Shame there’s no hope of keeping him permanently.

A few didn’t play their best but we’re there. Let’s beat Derby in the sunshine at Wembley!

He didn’t have to worry as his other cards were not counting in the playoffs

Great news for Sandwell Town fans. It’s 2 for the price of 1 on Bank Holiday Monday at Dudley Zoo!

God they're bitter over onWestBrom.com

Fuck em, miserable little club always in our shadow, Blues mark 2 blaming everyone but themselves for their ultra negative tactics.

Stealing this

Before we got back to coach 2 - disabled supporters coach - a 50ish Albion fan went on and threatened the driver with a knife. Presumably he had it with him during the match.

Lots of them saying how proud they were off their team.

If we'd have approached both games in the mentality they did, I'd be embarrassed rather than proud

Slight caption error on ITV's Good Morning Britain reads:
"Champions League: Aston Villa beat West Bromwich Albion 4-3"

Ha. Perhaps one day, gentlemen.

[Steve67]

Whilst I don't think we played particularly well, Albion only forced Steer in to one save that I can remember?  And that was straight at him.  We had the majority of the ball and had the better chances whether Albion were down to 10 men or not.

[pauliewalnuts]

I thought their tactics over the two legs very nearly worked.

Having said that, though, such fucking rank gamesmanship, clogging and negativity. Pulis really did leave his mark on that team.

Remember when they used to drone on to all and sundry about playing the game the right way? Not much of that in evidence in this semi final.

[cdbearsfan]

Surely they'll never criticise Stoke again after seventy minutes time-wasting in the first leg, endless towel nonsense and scoring from a long throw with their only attempt on goal, putting ten men behind the ball for the whole of extra time AT HOME, combined with tactics that would've seemed over the top in "Platoon".

[Mister E]

Well, I thought our players looked clueless at times and downright nerve-wracked at times. Some of our decision-making was awful, the lack of pace worrying and it was a game that shredded my nerves.
There's a lot of work to do before wembley, and even more to do if we win there.
As for the Bitters: what a fookin shower of shite.
And the moral outrage oozing off some of the social media sites is laughable - jeez, I'm glad I became a Villa fan: to be either of the other obvious options would have been unbearable.
