Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Post-Match Thread

[Villa Lew]

Having now seen the match, good things we didn't lose, performance in the last 10 mins, quality ball from Lucas for the goal, Ollie scores again, Zaha didn't score and the fans got to see their heroes. Bad things quite a few.

Saha - complete pantomime villain  - cant stand him but fair play to him for maintaining the image. I think the "He's going to cry in a minute" was genuine lol moment

I thought at times we do play some great stuff but then in an instant give the bloody ball away. McGinn was back to his worst of pivoting and trying Hollywood balls again which contributed to losing possession again.

I thought Digne was superb and his run and cross for the goal was excellent.

We had enough chances in last 15 minutes to have won so i hope we are looking at a striker in our shopping lists. Thought we looked more composed when Chambers came on.

82 celebrations

Great to see them and i although i think we milk it a little too much at times i agree that in another 10 years there will not be that many of them left.

Ormsby was a sad sight to see - he was helped round most of the pitch by Ivor Linton, Jimmy Rimmer is also not meant to be in good health and it is now documented about Sid and Gibson.

Was surprised that Morley missed it for a holiday - surely this was planned well in advance?

I too thought that the BBC to not even mention it was a total disgrace but they are huge supporters of football only begining in 1992 also - wankers

The match another damp squib.

But afterwards.... Joy.

This is great
Do you have a favourite player of this time of these proper winners of when the European cup was for champions only?
Or maybe you're a fraction too young? I not sure but these are Villa greats so must have been fantastic for you! Made the day after that result. Nice to see!

I used to love Sid, Shaw and Withe. And then in defence it was Alan Evans and his wristbands.

Great photos Drummond, Dennis is my all time favourite Villa player, by the way I also felt emotional seeing our heroes yesterday.

Fantastic beard, Drummond.

Fantastic beard, Drummond.

Gracias.

I'm getting old, and greyer every day....

[Risso]

Fantastic watch Drummond.

Absolute tripe

Six Home wins is absolutely unacceptable, awful first half , absolutely dire. Second half was much better but again we fail to get all 3 points on home soil

Thought the 40th anniversary stuff was over the top, would rather have had the money spent on flags and banners off the price increase on season tickets. Anyone would have thought we'd won it last year

Will just end up in the closet,collecting dust and not very good for the environment either

Left feeling fed up as usual

Tell you what, let me have your seat. I can’t afford to buy a season ticket nor get the time nowadays to go down the villa. I have seen some of the heroes of 82 before at VP (I was born the year after and never forget we were once the champions of Europe). It was always a pleasure seeing them particularly Spink.

I get we weren’t setting the world on fire yesterday what with nothing to play for and all but I would have sold my right bollock to have gone down to see the villa. You post on here whinging about everything to do with the club whilst claiming the humanity about the season tickets, cost of everything etc. Just realise you are a lucky bugger to be able to go down regularly to see the villa as I once was able to do. I saw most home games under lambert when we would celebrate a corner. To bemoan the 40th anniversary of the European cup is a bit sad really as who knows who will still be around in 10 years time.

I get you pay your money you get the right to an opinion but i have never seen you post something positive about the villa. I don’t know if you are a WUM, trolling us or whatever but think yourself at least a little bit lucky you have the expendable income to follow villa. Some of us can’t. Nothing against you personally but by McGrath can you at least find some positives this year???

Sorry if I seem against character but this season could have been worse

General summaries about yesterday. 2 teams with nothing to play for and Zaha is a fanny.

[Drummond]

Fantastic watch Drummond.

Aye, 'tis a beauty!

[wolfman999]

Zaha is an absolute disgrace of a footballer

No, he's a very good player, he just moans a lot.

To be fair to Tony Morley he more than does his bit for the Villa all year long.
