Aston Villa v Liverpool Post Match Thread

[Rodders]

I think it would be sensible if away fans were all held back at full time on dramatic days like today. It wasn’t good walking past the away end. Upset villa fans and gloating away fans, not a good mix.

I live in deepest rural Shropshire, prime Redscouse turf. After following the last few nail-biting minutes in the car, and with melancholy and frustration broiling my guts like month-old half-rotted cabbage, I took Mrs Rodders and Mini Rodders Jnr to our local for tea.

We'd been sitting down for a while; I'm on my second pint of Three Tuns XXX, Mini Rodders Jnr's fish, chips and beans and beans had been served, and a youngish bearded bloke in shooting tweeds came up to our table and asked - in best, broadest Shropshire - if I was "the Villa fan"

When I replied in the affirmative, he grinned and started dancing around the table, flicking the V's and singing, "fuck you motherfuckerrrr, we had you, we fucking had you, you fucking looosseersss"

I've never even had that sort of interaction with my hated Nose Stepdad or his family, never mind a stranger in a pub where my home ground is sixty miles away and his eighty-five. When I invited him to desist he tried to get his mates involved. In front of the Missus and the 3 year old.

Utter, utter wankishness that typifies the club and its plastic support.

He sounds like he's from Hereford, Rodders. Or, heaven forfend, Wales.

His accent was unfamiliar and I'd never seen him before in my life, Your Sexualness... Which means it's entirely possible that he comes from the next valley.

I wunt thur wunce. I enna goin' baak.

On matters Villa and not their shit support (if ever the verse of that wankiest of songs about the greatest of Gods were true it is now), to see Deano as deflated and distraught as I felt post-match after - as other posters have so rightly noted - narrowly losing to the reigning European Champions and Champions Elect of the 19/20 season thus far shows how far we have travelled in such a short time. I am sure that he will continue to learn and implement his increased tactical knowledge with each game, as I hope the players will, too.
UTV.

Rodders, what an absolute tosser.
All the best mate, lets hope revenge in the League Cup.

FTFOTP, CL. Right where it hurts.

Here's to it 👍

Wasn’t aware that Herefordians had any interest in football. North Wales types have a bit of a scouse affinity..

[Rodders]

Deano used to play for Hereford United, Mike.

So you may well be right, ho ho.

nice comments by Klopp there:

"in a stadium like this, full of excitement and positivity at the situation, finally in the Premier League, what a stadium, what a club"

Mike, we're talking Mid-Wales here. They're unpredictable.

Just fuck them in the league cup qf.

It was a good performance if your goal was to beat 95% of teams 95% of the time. If your goal is to beat Liverpool, I suppose it was literally inadequate. Not much shame in that though

It is an incredible stadium, I swear it never fails to impress me

[purpletrousers]

Sorry to hear of such idiocy Rodders, it reminds me of the recent story of one of our own fans pointlessly and laying into an elderly Norwich fan with vitriol.
There really is a time and place for that kind of stuff, or perhaps there isn’t, but it certainly isn’t a family gathering.

Glad Maidstonevillain was able to take my seat at the 11th hour as we had a day with little AV at the hospital with a (hopefully ultimately none) medical concern. Thanks for the thoughtful messages from those I was in direct contact with, as was said to me that was the most important result for our family, but that didn’t stop me wailing in the car  on the way to getting the wife her favourite takeaway before we finally got home.

Like many utterly gutted listening to the last minutes, but also in retrospect pleased we more than held our own. I’m fascinated to see if/what we spend at Xmas, though seem to remember noises that it might not be so much?

Also not a good mix to have gloating Liverpool fans in the boxes behind the Villa fans in the Lower North Stand.  Needless to say their behaviour was not overly popular.

Very disappointed to lose in those circumstances, but if we put that kind of effort in every game then we should be fine.

People have expressed dislike of Klopp amd I dare say there are reasons to do so, but more often than not it strikes me as just stemming from him being Their manager because, as comments like this show, he really does seem to love football for the right reasons.

Patronising toe rag. Ferguson used to make similar comments. I would rather they leave Villa Park thinking what a hell hole it is.

I'm with you, Aftab, mate. There would have been none of that if we'd have won.

Too many reports of Liverpool fans being where they shouldn't. Who lets them in?

As for that 'fan', Rodders. I'm sorry to hear that. What a dickhead. Let's hope he's calling Talk Sport before the end of the season demanding a trophy for second place, or claiming Liverpool isn't part of England. Terrible behaviour, though not unsurprising.

[KRS]

Where are all these tourists and glory hunters (if the comments are correct) getting their tickets from in the Villa end? It’s hard enough to get a ticket for games as a claret member so how are so many getting hold of tickets they shouldn’t have?
