Villa 6 (six) Brighton 1 Post Match Lower Grounds Celebration.

Yeah I thought the ref was abysmal

On the way back in the car yesterday, two mates were saying how crap the ref was. I didnt notice too much really, maybe because we were winning. He did book 8 players though I think.

I thought the Ref was fine. Can't really see what he did wrong and generally controlled the game very well.

He did well not to give Konsa a second yellow but then the first was OTT, as was the card for Luiz. He then allowed Brighton to get away with similar fouls and repeated fouls by their players that went unpunished; it was a classic case of double standards.

Oh, he was dreadful.  They went down every time they were touched and he obliged.  Booked a couple of players early and then let their players off with almost identical fouls.

Looked in on the Brighton forum and they see it exactly the opposite. They think the ref booked their players for nothing and gave us everything. Football fans eh? Also lots of them "hate aston villa" because we're so snidey apparently. Strange bunch. If anyone's out and about in Brighton today watch your step as there's a lot of rattles and dummies being thrown out of prams

They’re all vegans so probably crying themselves to sleep listening to Moby at 9pm. 😀

I was out and about in Horsham this morning and didn't see a single seagull club badge which is unheard of these last few years. I had the reebok 96 home on.

I was in Brighton, Weds - Friday and in that time, we genuinely saw three instances of people walking barefoot.

Nowhere near the beach, and not there on holiday, just people who looked like they were going to work, walking through the city centre. Sans shoes and socks.

Not sure if this has ready been noted, but how come our XG came out at fewer than 2 goals and even more bizarrely lower than theirs?!

I mean goal 1 and 6 were pretty much 100% expected for a start. They just had one other decent chance the whole game.

Because xG is about as useful as the Kardashians...

[Skerra]

Referee was totally inconsistent but nowhere near as bad as the clowns at the Spurs v Liverpool match.
Didn’t we look so much better though not pissing about at the back for 5 minutes at a time. Our passing was so much slicker than in other games this season. And as for XG, I think that was made up by the same officials fro the Spurs match!

Excellent choice. Hopefully you pissed a few of them off.

I noticed the anti-Villa vibe on the forums too. Grealish's equaliser in the Championship? Turning them over five games on the bounce? Don't get it. Might be just looking for someone to hate and we're kind of in the same bracket, for now.

Personally I think this is the season they start to drop off. Lost way too much quality this summer. You can only do that for so long, regardless of being masterz of teh dataz.

De Zerbi will do well to get away now. They will finish mid table this season and go the way of Southampton in the next 2/3 seasons.

Its two 3s and a 6. They will say the same other way round.

In the two recent wins at the Amex they reckon we shit housed/cheated/played negative football against them. Basically, we didn't let them win..... lol

I’ve given up trying to understand that.

I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Best one IMO. I donated mine to my Dutch pal who still wears it km occasions.

It’s because XG is the most pointless thing ever

Ha same here, just replace the 82 white kit and Haywards Heath.
