Aston Villa - 2 Leeds Eleven Terrible Dirty Haircuts - 1

[LeeB]

Just seen the interview with their manager, he wasn't nearly as bitter as I'd hoped, I'm quite disappointed tbh.

Says he’s happy to continue loose if they play like that.

I’d be fucking overjoyed if they continue to lose and piss off back to the championship.

Marsch - “we were the better team”. He just doesn’t get it does he. If I were a Leeds fan, would be very worried.

I'd have some sympathy for him if:

They weren't a bunch of dirty pricks.
They didn't whine over every decision that doesn't go their way despite the above.
They hadn't had games go exactly the same as today ever since they came back up because they can't defend for shit and aren't as good going forward as they'd need to be to get away with it.

Also worth a special mention for the entire footballing press that seem to ignore all of the above and blow smoke up their arses, making the club and fans think they're much better liked than they really are. It'll be a great day when they fuck off back into obscurity for another 15-20years.

Fucking hear hear Paul, spot on.

As much as I hate playing Leeds and their fans strange obsession with Mings, they really are a tough team to play against. They have to be the hardest working team in the league. I don’t even think they are dirty, just incredibly determined. They work hard to the end, a little bit more quality and they would be further up the table.

The obsession with Mings, he was the only survivor in our team from the day Bamford blatantly cheated and Bielsa made a gesture that he wouldn’t have made if there was anything resting on the game for them…..& the other reason is a bit more obvious

[LeeB]

I'm also absolutely loving opponents frothing at our time wasting and gamesmanship. I don't think it's entirely justified or any worse than those teams that have been doing it for years, but the very fact it's happening and working and upsetting the opposition is great.

[Nev]

It's suddenly a massive problem in the game now we're doing it. The problem for the authorities is that if they sanction us, they have to sanction their favourite clubs as well.

We really are getting up peoples hooters recently, fucking magic.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bielsa had been booked in the first half of that game and was looking at a potential touchline ban for the play-offs. That got forgotten in the aftermath.

And the footage always shown of it ignores the context of us putting the ball out when on the attack for their injured player just beforehand.

A Super Super Victory on so many levels. Congratulations to the players for a great performance to get the win.

It was important to bounce straight back after the Stevenage debacle - they did that.

Bailey took his goal ever so well and I thought it could be another Brentford level massacre. The injuries damaged our well worked game plan so Mr Emery adjusts accordingly with what he has.

The defence I saw blocks, interceptions, clearances - fantastic.

Martínez - only Man shitty or Real Madrid would pay £75m for this guy otherwise he’s going nowhere- what a magnificent save !!

Moreno - a couple of curled crosses were beauties and good clearance to prevent a goal.

Kamara - Rolls Royce of a player. Goodness me ! Passing, movement, running - my MOTM.

Dougie was solid as was Buendia getting his goal.

JJ - glad to be back, needs a bit more fitness and time.

Commentators - Leeds are ‘something’ to write about due to Revie / DOL wankfest over the years but haven’t done fuck all since to warrant it and the anti-villa bias due to us soundly beating ManUre (Neville) and lucky-to-have-had-Gerrard (Carragher) that feeds everyone else.

The non mention of Kamara is called the ‘Pepe’ effect. Mysteriously the most expensive player in Arse’s history was never mentioned in debate or commentary- either during sky / bt / bbc pundits / almost like they had been told not to. Kamara must have slipped through one of the Super league twat’s radar and they’re kicking themselves we’ve got a £50m player for free and now want him but not prepared to acknowledge how good he is. He can’t be ignored for long! He’s too good.

Hanging onto a lead with minutes to play requires a level of concentration, energy and luck - we managed it - hold us in good stead when we’re in the same position.

I was counting down the hours for this match and I’m so pleased to have come away with the points - beat the saints away and we have a break before some tough fixtures in Feb.

What a rollercoaster!

[Nev]

That and the Sheff Utd goal still rankle with so many people. Let's hope this is the case forever. And ever.

Really enjoyed last night

Atmosphere fantastic from the start, thought the fans really got behind the team

Performance was good and it looked like the players were right at it,great goal from Bailey. Once Watkins went off it was clear to see just what he brings to the game . Another striker should be a priority

Even got my Half Time pint in under 5 minutes

Just read there was a 'police incident' by the North Stand / Witton Lane after , anybody know what happened

Ashley Young = absolutely incredible

[LeeB]

This made me laugh in fairness..

First 3 or so minutes of the first half were class the rest was absolute rubbish, about 10 minutes actual football played in the whole half, both sides spoiling and fucking about, crap

Second half a bit better, Win when we don’t play well is the mantra which is fine but we need to be doing a lot better than that and we have done already with Emery and I’m sure we will

Kamara is going to be world class if he’s not already
Still not convinced with either centre backs on their footballing ability to play out
Martinez, without him we don’t win simple as that, best in the land
Moreno looks ok to me and will improve when he adjusts to the prem, high hopes from me
I still think we are to negative and pass the ball back to players who have little football ability to much when a forward option would be a lot better

Walking back to star city got chatting to a few Leeds lads who thought they deserved a draw out of the game but said the difference was we have a top manager
 Couldn’t agree more

[Exeter 77]

I still cannot believe we got Boubacar Kamara for nothing.

[saint13]

Dublin is an awful pundit , which i don’t like saying

He is. He comes across as a nice fella but he talks rubbish.

I am pretty sure i heard him say that he thought Buendia was Villa's best palyer last night?

Also, Bielsa didn't 'make the gesture', Dean Smith made him.
