Aston Villa 2 The Arse 4 Post Match ah well what could have been thread

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Surprised (Impressed in a way - as if such things are beneath us) not to see any mention of Tom Hanks first attendance as a Villa fan and equally disappointed that the MOTD highlights didn't cut to his great celebration when Ollie scored the opener.

Even though we lost he said he really enjoyed the day and hopes to be back in a few weeks for the Forest game.

[Bad English]

I have erased this one from my mind. Plus the fact that since Friday I have had MC Miker and DJ Sven doing the Holiday Rap on the old internal jukebox so it's easier (although quite annoying now).

Arsenal deserved to win, but God some of their fans are utter helmets......

All. All of their fans are fucking helmets. Like lesta, anybody that thinks one of their supporters is 'alright' needs to have a fucking good look at themselves.

At a quick count I know at least 10 who are more than ‘alright’ and I’ve had a good look at myself. Will you round me up with them?

[Mister E]

Emi might not have been at his best at times of late, that’s fair. It’s when people extend that to him just being “decent” and not a big deal if he leaves. That’s the step too far - we are lucky to have a keeper of genuine quality and we should appreciate that and probably acknowledge that if he leaves we’ll really struggle to get a player anywhere near his class.

Absolutely correct. Despite his time wasting, his poor kicking etc, he’s world class and I would argue our only world class player. Right there is where you start to build a genuine top quality team

World class. sure. The best there is? - not with his distribution.

[PaulWinch again]

Well whether you think he is or not he is absolutely the only player at Villa who is anywhere near that conversation.

We are mid table team I get it, but we’ve just shipped 11 goals in three games are we all supposed to be content with our lot, because I’m not happy when we lose, when it’s three on the trot is that acceptable? To the players managers and the poor suffering support.

It’s difficult to win matches when your main CB Mings puts is on the plate for opposition to score week in week out.

Yeah, he was shocking for the Man City goals last week

[olaftab]

Ollie has just said it all on motd. He said we do the hard work to get a lead and then throw away the game and that he’s seen it too often at Villa.

Very telling!

It’s very hard on Ollie. His last 3 goals, and scoring goals is the most difficult thing, have been wasted through school boy defensive errors. It’s awfully painful that we have a regular scorer and yet we can not benefit from that.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Tom Ross reporting on the game on Irish radio yesterday seems to have fallen in love with the same cockneys he used to slate on Birmingham local radio not so long ago. He couldn’t even bring himself to say much positive about Villa, describing Ollie’s goal only as “against the run of play”...We’d only played 5 minutes, not even long enough to take the wrapper off any “run of play” notions.
Still I suppose his current paymasters (in association with sky) probably insist that he suck up to the 6 that they only really care about and he’s a willing puppet.

[Brend'Watkins]

We lost to a much better team with better players than we have. The scoreline flattered them though. I like the way we play and with a few better players we’ll win games like this.

[Axl Rose]

We certainly had our moments today against the team at the top, much better than last year when we were pathetically passive. But, we just can’t keep gifting goals like we do and expect anything against anyone.

The first two are an absolute joke. How many times did they double up and take a quick corner while we fell asleep? If only we had a set piece coach to specifically sort out these issues. I liked the look of Duran when he came on, he may be raw, but he’s willing and confident. As mentioned before, the script always seemed set, we expected they’d get a winner and so it proves.

On another note, we’ll be looking to move seats in the summer. The three new people in front of us are ruining games and I’m going to end up getting in trouble. They stand motionless all game, don’t support, sing or clap. What they do is turn round and shake their heads if they hear swearing or something they don’t agree with.

My lad has social anxiety problems and the football is one avenue where he feels comfortable and able to get involved. I swear if that turd in front turns around and looks at him one more time, he’ll wish he hadn’t.

When the ST’s increased in price, we lost the three good people in front and got Roger Neuveau and family.

Had this in the past, guy with his teenager son who thought he was at the theatre, ended up reporting me to the steward for telling an opposition player to fuck off 

Don't move, just make him as uncomfortable as he tries to make you every time he turns around.

Yep, I actually started to yesterday (he sounds like the same guy you had!). I mean, if people want to turn up and say or do nothing, then so be it. But don't be turning round shaking your head just because I berate the ref or one of the opposition players or because my lad has a view on the game.

Spoils the game though, just don't want the hassle, esp for my lad.

Mate, that bloke and his merry band of bores are fucking rubbish.

[Pete3206]

It worries me that we're giving new contracts to the likes of Mings if we seriously want to challenge the top half of the table.

Start a fuck em up get in to them chant every 10 minutes.

A massive water pistol, sprayed, or a poisonous insect dropped down their backs would soon solve their lack of energy

[PeterWithe]

Well I thought it was a fantastic game, really open end to end game with both sides going for it. Our final big chance hits the bar and stays out, theirs goes in. We matched a team top of the league. Much to be impressed by, much to improve on.

Such a shame all their goals looked avoidable.
