Aston Villa 2-0 Newcastle Utd - post match thread

[mr underhill]

I was thinking the same but it was the first time I've really noticed it.

Ramsey played the role of continuity player really well: pass and move; keep passing and moving. But he also drove into empty space well in the second half, providing the Jawdie midfield more problems.
Buendia will probably take a couple more games to get properly 'with it' but I liked the way he supported Cash so well and also looked for the ball a lot (not just sitting out wide waiting for it. I agree with an earlier comment that he looks more like a #10. I'm guessing / hoping that's where he'll be when Watkins and Bailey return.

[mr underhill]

Tangental but I thought Targett lookedlike the incredible bulk yesterday. Lots of excess baggage.

[Skerra]

Shame we didn’t get him but, fair play to Ward Prowse for staying loyal to his club rather than someone else, who’s name I’ve now forgotten, going to Oil City!!

Anyone else see the Newcastle fan throwing up over the barrier?

I've not been to an away game, but don't see the appeal of getting absolutely hammered so you can't even watch or enjoy the game you've spent a fortune to travel and see. Same for the people leaving 15 minutes before HT so they can get a shitty pint, then again 15 mins before FT so they can be first in the pub.

You've waited God knows how many days to be back in VP, then leave early at HT and miss the first goal and celebrations.

Talking about Cash's emerging skull he become very conscientious of it himself after watching  his attempt at goal on the big screen. Periodically kept adjusting his hair to ensure a decent level of coverage for the rest of the match.

You should’ve been at Watford last week. About 50 Villa left the stadium at half time (the bloke next to me on the concourse was counting them as they left) which was bizarre, despite the shite first half.

It's a proper baboon's arse. Expect a visit to the same clinic as Mark Clattenburg in the not too distant future.

Who???

Jack. Isn't he one of the lads who work in the club shop, or am I thinking of someone else?

[eamonn]

Why does this thread get booted-off the main forum so quickly? No one really goes into Match Thread & Player Ratings...

Anyway, haven't seen anyone mention it but was there a special tannoy announcement for the returning Ashley Young or any crowd/Ashley love-reciprocation etc. ?
It's been 10 years, let's show some emotion...

[olaftab]

Nothing special. Just a little nod as team was being announced and there was no crowd love in either.
