Aston Villa v Man City Post-Match Thread

[eric woolban woolban]

Probably need to have a chat to my neighbours who I know well. 
But I was very loud.

Not as loud as the sound of VP was by me.

Means nothing to anyone who doesn't know the area, but I live just down the Beeches side of Walsall Rd, by Tower Hill, maybe two miles from VP, and for the first half I thought it was a huge group of supporters at the Towers pub.

I knew what was them missing a chance, I knew what was us going close, I knew what was us winning a corner, and Leon's goal sent shivers down my spine.

And this is from inside the house, behind double-glazing.

I've never known the noise to carry so well and it was absolutely fucking magnificent.

I was gonna ask you about that after your post earlier. Brilliant stuff.

I've lived in this house since I was 2. I spent two years in Lichfield and six in Worcester, but otherwise this has been my home. I have never heard anything like it.

Whether it was just the wind blowing in the perfect direction or not, it was extraordinary. Credit to all the boys and girls there today.

I used to go on the lam from my ex round there. Dyas Avenue I think it was. You must know it.

I know exactly where the fucker lives Perce, I used to live in Fowlmere Road.*

You are getting smashed and overrun in midfield, you have an England midfielder sitting on the bench, what do you do?  Kalvin Phillips has to feel like shit, why on earth would he stay there?

He will stay because being at a "big club" will guarantee he is on that plane to Germany.

Final memory will be the Villa fans. Bloody hell, what an atmosphere, what support. There will never be a goal more beautiful than watching the Villa fans celebrate a goal. The TV cameras are close by to the away fans and normally they come across as loud but last night, from the first minute, all I could hear was our fans. Such brilliant support and as Bailey and others have pointed out, it really does help drive the team on.

Usually on Canal+ Foot, I find the commentary is loud and the crowd noise seems to be turned down. I hate it. Saps all the atmosphere and emotion.

Not last night. Could hardly hear the commentator over the fans!

Delighted to see you didn’t jump of that bridge Mark. We were worried about you yesterday.

Ha! In my defence we'd seen nothing before that made me think moving Konsa over to right back and bringing in Carlos would work. I'd also seen the highlights of their game against Spurs when on another day they could have scored close to double figures. I didn't see a queue of people before the game thinking it was a great move either. That said, I will try and tow the 'Unai knows best' line from now on and for the record, it wasn't me that needed a change of underwear for the last 15-20 minutes. I've seen us numerous times comfortably see out games. Yesterday was probably easier than most.

Before I forget, I'm taking credit for the win. I was making spinach, ricotta and pecorino balls before the game and when rolling them out I realised I'd have 13. I made 12. Not that I'm superstitious but I wasn't going to risk it.

Please ensure you make 13 of something else on Saturday. If you don't and we lose we will blame you forever. No pressure mate. Only 14 straight home league wins at stake.

Right next to my old primary.

I used to deliver the free paper down Cramlington, and it's deceptively long.

Just looked at the headline on the Sky Sports app... 'Why are Aston Villa so good?' Think it's safe to say the media are sold on us now.

Not a chance. I'll be making tacos on Saturday. My son alone can demolish 13.

As always listened to many football podcasts while I was working today and they were all gushing over us. Think it was football weekly that said if you hadn’t known who won the treble last year you would have thought it was us given our performance.
Another one was “holy shitball…totally outplayed them on every level……..exceptional football….result flattered City……mildly laughable the difference in quality between the teams”

Edit. It’s a game that will live long in the memory.

My heart bleeds for Man City and their injury crisis. Imagine only having a bench with midfielders like Nunes (£53m), Phillips (£42m), Kovacic (£25m) and Gomez (£11m). The humanity!

Only 1 of those cost less than the entire midfield that tore them to pieces last night!

[Bad English]

That was ace last night. Still can't get my hat on.

The Word of the Year should officially be revised to the verb:    TO EMERY.
Definition: to out think, out fight, out class.
 Example:   Manchester City have just been Emery'd

[BC Villain]

Emery's version of Saunders 5 - 1 against Liverpool in 76?
