Aston Villa v Tottenham Post Match Wake.

[Risso]

I'd rather stay to the end and boo the fuckers.

Christ, there's toddlers being raped by Ruasian servicemen in Ukraine. That's fucking depressing. Extreme end of the scale of course. We dont have to go that far on the dial, it could just be your energy bill or the cost of filling a tank up. If you're finding the Villa depressing, then give it up.

well stop slagging off  fans who  left early,

No.

that's entirely up to you

Your abhorrence of other fans behaviour surely makes you question your status as a fan too. If you dislike it so much don't go and witness it yourself.

As for your comparison with the horrific and depraved behaviour in Ukraine, get a grip and perhaps sober up before posting.

Being a tight git, my attitude is that I’ve paid for the whole match so I am damn well going to stay to the end.

People vote with their feet.

The transport arrangements are garbage. So why double up on the frustration?

People are entitled to do whatever they please. I personally stay, though did once leave very early, I think when we were on the end of another stuffing by Man Utd and I had better things to do than sit in traffic for an hour feeling pissed off.

Last time we played as well as that in the first half we were 4-1 up against Liverpool. But if you don’t take your chances & gift goals away it doesn’t matter how well you play.

We’re too easy to score against, if we stop that everything will fall into place.

Gerrard will bring in the players who will do the job.

[Chris Smith]

Great first half but you can’t be that wasteful against a a good team and expect to get anything from the game. Spurs, like Wolves, were easily able to exploit the gaps behind our fullbacks and pick us off with ease.

[Goldenballs]

Fans can do whatever they like, if Villa losing affects people's mental health then so be it, the mind is a strange thing and football is very emotional. I stay to the end and try and keep football and Villa in a separate part of brain.

Bringing up kids being raped in response to someone feeling very down after a defeat is fucking gross.

[Allan C]

I guess it’s each to their own. I wouldn’t go before the end but I can’t think of a better way to show disgust than an empty Holte end at 70 mins. That’s more noticeable than a full booing Holte at 90 mins IMO

Glass is half full - we played some great football in the first half, we were the better team and should have been ahead, play like that for the rest of the season and we will win more games than lose.
Glass is half empty - we concede a soft goal through another mistake by a defender, do not take our chances when presented, and second half we are done by a manager who changed his tactics to a long ball over the midfield, and better quality players scored.

Take your pick which way you want to look at it, we have to look at the positives, but it feels fucking shit to keep losing. UTV

I know what you’re getting at Ads but, I have to be honest the last 20 minutes was a bore fest from a Villa point of view. As for the support, I always say the team have to be putting in a real shift. Witness the first half when the home support was really good because the players were giving it a go. After their 4th 2nd went in, our players gave up the ghost and the fans followed their lead. Very difficult to be very vocal at 4-0 down.

FTFY.
The players get the support they deserve; I agree.

Yes, I am grateful to those who voted with their feet for making it an easier journey home than normal.

Some of us use the villa as a distraction and escape from the real long-term problems that we have in our individual lives. There are occasions, not least now in this crazy world we are living in, where we could do with a 'lift'. I don't think your comment here is very fair or reasonable. I don't know what other distractions you have in life but I wouldn't be the sort of person who goes to the theatre, gym or whatever.

My abiding thoughts from the game were:
- Gerrard was far too passive. After the second went in I'd have made changes - Traore on for Watkins, Marv on for Luiz.
- Relying on the fullbacks for width doesn't strike me as a viable strategy unless you're playing 3 CB or have a world-class DMF.
- Where the hell has Konsa gone?! The bloke playing in his shirt looks like a pub player.
- What the club are doing to rebuild the confidence levels of Ings and Watkins.
- Why Tim and Chuk are not getting any game time - either play 'em or don't pick 'em (send out on loan next season?).
- Bailey is a dud.
Travelling back, I totted up around 9-10 players who will probably leave the club in the summer: that creates a massive recruitment / integration job, which - for a rooky manager - is a high-risk strategy; albeit probably necessary. I just hope they don't bring in players who are simply expensive! .... and that they pick players who complement the team / squad rather than simply being good in the role ... and that they don't block the deserving youngsters from breaking through (we know how managers tend to play their recruits even when they're not playing well).
