Aston Villa 3-3 Liverpool Post Match breather

[wince]

Absolutely a match thread for the ages, that.

Jesus Christ, some proper, proper glass-half-full-OF-DONKEY-PISS doomery at work.

I am no happy clapper, far from it, but fuck me.

Like I said, a top, top match thread.

Careful, you'll be told to fuck off as well

Or to grow up 😉

[Legion]

So proud of them tonight.

No you weren't. Earlier they were a "disgrace" apparently.

Just read through the match thread and totally agree with this.

[Somniloquism]

That Alison save from Diaby at the end was trop draw - Diaby was unlucky there and deserved a goal for his effort.

I couldn’t believe he kept it out

It was good, but Allisson didn't have to move much. Diaby was under pressure but slightly wider or slightly lower and it was in. (Not a criticism of Moussa, just stating the save seemed more straight forward for a keeper of his quality).

[Smithy]

Aston Villa captain John McGinn to Sky Sports: "It's a brilliant effort towards the end. We got a bit of luck. It's been a tough few weeks with lads coming back and playing through the pain barrier. This place got us going.

"Big Jhon [Duran] is a bit nuts at times, he's a nightmare to play against. I don't think it's been difficult for us as players.

"There's some of us that have never been close to the Champions League in our life. The manager has a no-excuse mentality. People have written us off and we've floated under the radar. We'll have our Man City tops on tomorrow."

I completely misheard McGinn then.

You didn't mishear. They've just taken the two minute interview and taken 30 seconds of quotes and put them together.  He mentioned Youri playing for Anderlecht in the Champions league, for example.  It's not a direct and complete quote of everything he said.

[CT Villan]

Holy shit, that was insane.

We did enough to win that several times over.

Big props to the VP crowd for bringing us back into the game.

PS. The ref is a complete and utter wanker for allowing them to kick SJM to pieces on numerous occasions. I'm so pleased it was Mac Allister that lost the ball for our second.

[wince]

I just wish we could all stop waiting for the wheels to come off. We can all get passionate at times and the match thread is often bollocks being said in heat of the moment but we are all villa fans aren’t we?

[Demitri_C]

I honestly think in the spirit of us all being Villa fans, we should lay off criticism of match thread reactions etc.

Emotions are high.

I called someone a troll, and regret it.

Peace brothers and sisters.

I honestly can't agree with this. The same handful of people make the match threads a fucking horrible experience for everyone whenever we're not leading comfortably and then go silent as soon as we are on top, it's fucking annoying and creates a far worse atmosphere than there needs to be on here.

Give it a rest.  Emotions of the game as the poster said. We are all villa fans and want us to do well. Some are better emotionally than others

Lets just all move on and enjoy tonight. Its fucking wonderful. We are so close to CL now i couldnt be more happier


Up the fucking villa ❤️

Diaby with more confidence wouldn't have given Allison a sniff of saving it. Bounced up at a lovely height for him onto his strongest foot, strikes it low and he isn't saving it. At least he got it on target, the one earlier in the second half to put it in the side net was desperately poor and the one in first half was shocking.

But...I thought he had a decent game and caused a lot of problems.

Ref was bloody useless

Was that Diaby's kid?

Had a very good game, created several chances and massively contributed to what we got.

The match threads are everything that you've ever heard around you at a game. With the added bonus of PWS's mood changers before anyone one else knows.

I know it’s exciting but the quality of the maths on here is schoolboy at times

My bad. I thought we were on 67 not 68!

"Champions League You're having a laugh" i remember a few singing this as we left Fulham A at QPR under DOL .
