Aston Villa 3-3 Liverpool Post Match breather

"We all agree, that Platty is better than Gascoigne"

if Gascoigne had David Platts mentality he would have been better than Maradona.

I hate Platt and his mentality. He can fuck off anytime he likes.

Gazza was brilliant, but about 20 years ahead of his time.  He was a tricky, skillful, ball-carrying midfielder, who came through at a time when pitches were still regularly like bogs, and the midfields he competed in were often packed with the strongest most physical players, rather than the 'best' players with the ball.  There were better passers (sid for one), better tacklers, better dribblers, players with as much if not more flare than Gazza, but he had the ability to do a bit of ALL of that, in the middle of the pitch.

If he was 20 today, he'd probably still have a great career in the top flight, but he wouldn't stand out in the way he did in the late 80s and early 90s, because today, most teams have at least one midfielder with great skill who can beat a player and be a bit unpredictable.  Back then it was much more of a rarity.

Well done lads. A fantastic comeback!

Is there anywhere I can pick up the full game not just highlights? Unfortunately, the game clashed with the Eric Clapton gig I was attending. Thanks.

Usually sky replay the whole game but i cannot find anything - any helpwould be appreciated

Scroll backwards in Skysport premier league channel till you get to MNF and press play. Move fast forward to by about 85 minutes to start

Tried that and all I got was set up a series link ??

Cowan's modesty says more about him as a person than a player. I know which one made the most of their talents (as a player and a coach) and which one I'd have in my team.

Leagues, promotions, European trophies, coaching and all-round decent guy vs one FA Cup winning final, in which they played about 10 minutes and would have been sent off if not stretchered off. Oh and fcuking up a World Cup semi-final.

He got all that love for the World Cup and it was Platty that had saved England's arse from another early exit.

Fuck me, I've just read that was the ref who was in charge with that VAR fiasco at Spurs earlier in the season when Liverpool had two sent off as well.

No wonder he was eager to please them.

[VillaTim]

That was a shocking Refereeing performance in fairness last night .

[LeeB]

With apologies to posters on this board, I've always viewed people called 'Simon' with a bit of a side eye.

I didn’t think it was that bad. Main failure was lack of yellows for persistent fouling.

First thing I heard as I came into work today- "you were bloody lucky." This from a Liverpool fan. Just fuck right off. Sick to death this season of hearing how "lucky" we've been.

[The Edge]

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 watching in the pub and I joked at the time "he meant that" Watching the replay today and I actually think he did. It's hard to tell what Diaby actually meant to do but I don't care. It worked.

"Yeah? Your wife isn't"

[KRS]

As if their first goal wasn’t even luckier than our third?! Not to mention the one from Carlos that shall not be discussed.

In terms of the ref, he was as bad as most refs have been throughout the season. I’ve seen this Simon Hooper ref a few times this season and he is more on the incompetent scale than corrupt. As always, it’s their consistency at being inconsistent that is the main issue with the refs, and seemingly their different interpretation of the rules as and when it seems to suit them.

We've been fucking cursed since before a ball was even kicked so anyone who thinks that is fkin clueless.

In terms of last night it was liverpool who got lucky that emi made a very rare error, that was missed an open goal and that VAR lines got fucking made up last night

[The Edge]

That miss by Carlos will live long in the memory and the fact that Ollie was right behind him for a tap in makes it worse. Also Bailey not letting onside Diaby have the ball was another let off for them. That could of easily ended up 5-3 to the good guys. The last two games at Villa Park have been wonderfully bonkers and entertaining. We've seen 12 goals and the atmosphere has been fittingly fantastic. We are fucking box office under Unai Emery. Brilliant.
