Aston Villa 3-3 Liverpool Post Match breather

[UK Redsox]

Good job the bestest defender in the universe Van Djik was missing from the line-up. He also missed the match when we won 7-2 IIRC.

His best days are long gone. Salah didn't try a leg either I thought.

Salah was strange last night. Was making Digne look like Nicky Shorey all first half and then almost completely disappeared in the second.

It was a sensational atmosphere, I was up on the very back row Upper Trinity A2 and the noise from the Holte was deafening.  For even Klopp to mention it tells it all.  If Diaby had scored I genuinely think the place may have just spontaneously combusted! 

It was a bit like Atletico Madrid in the UEFA cup, Collymore/Duran setting up the grandstand finish and then Hendrie/Diaby with the 'what if' moment.

He was playing that day, Alisson was out though

I think that's his point.

I think that was the point. He was playing last night too.

I bet a few people did this!

In the pub after the game I heard a bloke telling his mate that it was still 3-1 when he left. So not even the excuse of trying to beat the traffic.

I absolutely cannot stand Van Dijk. The way he walks on in that over the top Christ the Redeemer pose, fuck off with that shit.

You are so eloquent Risso when praising these demigods.

[ROBBO]

The Duran goal from outside the box was reminiscent of Bruce Rioch.

Thank fuck I was there and not on the match thread. There were some there moaning about missed opportunities but I couldn't have it and just kept clapping and encouraging and others around did too. These players, this team, need positivity and an arm round the shoulder.

I had a little browse though that and yes there are couple of proper throbbers posting.

My missus - "why do you wanna go when its on the Tele?" - you can't describe being there on nights like this one. Magnificent meltdown of a football match. Our response to all the setbacks of the last few weeks is a thing to be proud of. The atmosphere was just special. The scousers played their part on and off the pitch - did anyone notice how many of them joined in the half time applause for our fallen - a lot of them and respect to them they did so. We gifted a quality side a first minute lead and let them build up a three goal lead - no coming back from that is there? - wrong!!. Its been a fantastic season and last night kind of summed up the roller-coaster of a season.
Villa, i was proud of you yesterday morning and even prouder of you last night.
It went out live all over Europe and me babbies did us proud.
Unai you are a genius mate.
Thank you.

An actual BBC report of the match this morning describes our third goal as a Moussa Diaby shot, deflected in off Jhon Duran.

Fucking idiots.

Duran physically lifted his knee/thigh higher to direct the ball on target.

Its as clear as day on the replays...

I was moaning about the early-leavers on another thread, but there's a guy next to me that always leaves with at least 20mins to go (*to catch a train apparently). The amount of times he's missed goals/comebacks this season is beyond comprehension.... but long may it continue!  😄

I left with 10 minutes to go.

It's the match thread though, I suppose.

I always find it amazing how people who demand positivity can't bear anyone not being so. Surely you're too busy basking in the radiance of your own sacred joyfulness to notice?

Up the fucking Villa.

[Drummond]

I stuck £20 on Liverpool to win yesterday, just to soften the blow if we lost.

Bet 365 paid out when they went two goals up. Result.

I feel that during the game, its difficult to keep ones emotions on an even keel.

Some people can, which is great, but others cant.

I know I cant.

I try to stay away from the match thread for that reason, or only post when I am about to explode.

Or, if we are playing well, lol.

But it's difficult for some to keep their cool while the game is ongoing & wild swings of opinion can happen.

But we are all Villa fans & all want what is best for the club...
