Plucky, Unlucky, Bitter 0-3 The Mighty Aston Villa Post-Match thread

[Somniloquism]

Came off his chest. Just looked odd as he was mid burst into sprint

Yep, I thought handball on first viewing from one angle and on rewatch realised it was his chest and just a perception issue. I'm pretty sure VAR would have called it if it was though as close enough in the buildup to have it viewed and ruled out. (although that pre goal review time frame seems to be arbitrary as well.)

What a pity Semi Ajayi couldn't repeat his performance for West Brom at Manchester City. I'm convinced that if the Baggies hadn't had Jake Livermore sent off, they would have got something out of this game.

He hates us.  Must be because they could only draw the charity shield with us.  Thanks to rock band Falco.

On what evidence does he base this on ?  With 11 men they hadn’t had a kick

Garth Crooks is a total knob

Didn’t Mings go to Millfield?

Wearer of the recently retired No 22 shirt at B’lose went to Priory School Edgbaston.

[Sexual Ealing]

Kenny Cunningham wet to Priory School Edgbaston?!

I'm with e junior, Bamford for me as well.  A really smackable face, and the biggest cheat in the Premier League.

Perfumed ponce.  How we let that numpty bag a hat trick against us is anyone's guess.

Let's not forget big fat posh Ron and his

Convinced it’s all part of the BFS love in. All the pre match build up was BFSs back, will he do another great escape, he’s only ever lost one first game in charge of a new club ra ra ra.
We played them off the park, it was close to being a training game we were that superior in every part of the field.
How do the BFS media love inners get to grips with this turn of events that simply wasn’t in their script. The sending off ahh, that must be it, BFS isn’t a dinasour whose tactics were destroyed by a better coach. It was the sending of, of that Neanderthal Livermore, who was no influence on the game whatsoever, that must be it, that last what changed the game, whatever!
Bringing on the next game, loving this villa team.

He won a sixth-form scholarship I think.

Think Chelsea pay for the graduates to go a fee paying school. In fact, Bertrand Traore went to Whitgift I think.

This is awesome. Love these videos

When Traore scored, I was expecting VAR to look at Jack's control of the ball before he passed it, and for the goal to be ruled out. Watching it again from this angle, it looked a lot like arm...

Also, AEG could have had 5 himself.

I am surprised they didn't look at that again. Maybe one of those that hots breastbone/shoulder

Well there we have it, the full set of excuses for them.

First goal, offside and too early, doesn't count.
Livermore should never had been sent off.
Haus should have been sent off.
Second goal was hand ball in the build up.
Third goal was not a penalty, blatant dive.

Let's just call it 0-0 and forget about it.

Convinced that they would have got something out of a game they were already losing and being thoroughly outplayed. Makes sense.

Seems like some people are getting ‘non-working class’ mixed up with ‘rich’.

Think I was a bit guilty of that in terms of conflating multi millionaire footballers, with Bamford, who has always been lord of the staffordshire manor relatively
