Manchester City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread.

It's interesting that Gerrard said that the game plan was working brilliantly. It makes you wonder then why he changed it.

because it was evident that after a bruising encounter with the relegated cloggers on Thursday a few of ours were out on their feet

I am more pissed of with the game yesterday as I wasnt expecting much .  However with the performances recently I am quite optimistic with a couple of additions

I'm working in Malta and watched the game in a bar with a few colleagues who aren't football fans. When they pulled one back I said they would win 3-2. They thought I was Nostradamus when in fact I'm just a Villa fan.

Leaving aside fencing in fans...surely security questions have to be asked of clubs about how fans are able to bring flares into a football stadium?

Just look at the perfunctory searches we get for the reason. The only thing that can stop them is sniffer dogs.

Maybe clubs whose away supporters who bring in flares should have reduced allocations.

A Liverpool supporter made quite a telling comment to me earlier.
In his opinion, if Liverpool had actually been winning their game while we were still 2-0 up, the City players may have lost heart and not staged such a comeback.
The longer they had hope, the more likely they where to act upon it.
He blames Liverpool for this.
Strange how we all see things in a different way.

[Bad English]

This is quite feasible.

Also, did you ask what would happen if their auntie had bollocks? ;-)

The searching process is not as simple as people think. Unlike pubs and Clubs there are many children that come to games and there is a limit on how much you can search.
If searching is very tough then folk moan about kids pop bottles being taken off them - yet in a lot of cases items such as booze, fags and i would imagine flares are sneaked in with kids as people know searching is at a minimum with minors.

Don't complain about the searching - it is the morons who think it is clever to bring an item like that to a public event

You know my opinion on our stewards - they do an impossible job well. Personally I wouldn't bother with searching and let the stewards spend their time looking for arsehole behaviour.

Unfortunately,the steward by us in the lower holte  is less than vigilant regarding arsehole behaviour .

I made the same point yesterday, think the resultant nervousness in the crowd would have transmitted itself to the Citeh players.

I was thinking similar, if Liverpool had got in the lead soon after our second goal, that would have had a huge impact on Citeh and their plastic wanker fans who were allready getting upset.
