Aston Villa 3-3 Liverpool Post Match breather

[Goldenballs]

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 think Sky have misquoted SJM there. He definitely said that Duran was a nightmare teammate 

He did, and said they're going to have to struggle to get his feet on the ground the next couple of days.

JM "Hiya Jack, its John McGinn. Are you playing tonight ?"
JG " Nah, wont even make the bench"
JM "Any chance of borrowing your shirt ? Only need it for a couple of hours"
JG " No worries, I get it. You know what, it hasn't worked out that well for me up here, I wouldn't mind being back in a Villa shirt, can you have a word with Unai ? "
JM  "Hahahaha. Fuck off"

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 ❤️

People have asked you many, many times to give it a rest when you're constantly moaning every match thread though, it goes both ways, if you're going to post miserablist nonsense every week you're gonig to get called out on it, especially in the aftermath of a game like today.

[Flamingo Lane]

An incidental bonus of the comeback draw was to keep a reasonable goal difference between us and Spurs. Could be significant, with them going to Sheffield United last game.

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.

Got a brother who a wind up merchant, when he mentions Aston Villa I just say yes,no,if you say so,he just sits there seething because he doesn't get a reaction, that's what I do on here with some posts now and don't even acknowledge it and won't comment even if it sensible

Fantastic game, the grit and determination to keep going was outstanding.

This team will be a real force with a couple of extra quality signings.

Tonight was just the second time Liverpool have failed to win a Premier League game having led by two goals in the 84th minute - after a 3-3 draw with Southampton in August 2000.

Aston Villa had never previously turned a game around after losing by two goals at that stage.

Fantastic comeback, brilliant goals.  Defensively, we have work to do but going forward, we are such a handful.  Diaby is in and out but did a couple of things that were key tonight.  I hope Man City draw tomorrow but after tonight, Villa will prove they have the fight at Palace if Tottenham manage to win.  Some great performances and SJM was super honest with his appraisal, the players are knackered but still giving it their all. We have shown that we can mix it with the best this season and I am looking forward to seeing how we progress in the transfer market.  Unai is our King.  Good to see Tom Hanks going barmy too.  Well done Villa.  Proud of you.

Yep, if they beat City by a single goal, a draw would be enough for us at Palace unless Spurs beat Sheff Utd by 7-0.

[Demitri_C]

So proud of them tonight.

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

So you have chosen to come on here, after such a remarkable victory and where everyone is happy to take a pointless dig where i said diaby was a disgrace  (and other posters were criticising him not just me for his first half display) yet you say nothing to those at all. I wonder why?

So according to your genius mentality a villa fan who alot of people who know me personally on here you think im not delighted with tonights win?

God grow up mate seriously

Let me fucking enjoy this win ffs

[Stu]

We drew

[astonvilla82]

Nice to quieten the doom mongers on here, suspiciously no words from the usual suspects

Excellent performance for the most part, great spirit to get back in to that and almost win it.

Had the chances

I give it a go, they were crap,I not renewing my season ticket,I throw all my Villa shirt away,I will support someone else like Birmingham City, now they are going places

[Stu]

I do follow the match threads on here but only to read the squabbles

[Toronto Villa]

Tonight's result means continues our record of not losing back to back PL games all season

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.

That's fair enough, things being cut, but the "against" bit is made up. I mean it doesn't matter, I just thought I went mad for a bit.
