Aston Villa v Celtic Post-Match Thread

[adrenachrome]

Unai doesn’t fancy Ned, would have been obvious to bring him on for cash.

Unai needs to have a word with Monchi and tell him to stop wasting money on buying players he doesn't want.

Looks like it could be a bring em in and sell on at a profit signing.

Yeah. Unai doesn't need a Monchi. He is more knowledgeable  about international players than almost anybody in the game.

The club needs Monchi to generate profits. Duran a case in point.

This has always been a tight balance.

For what it's worth our xG was 3.79, so our attack did as expected, Celtic's was 0.82. I'm standing by our attack not being the biggest issue.

I assume they’re not counting the 5 “sitters” that Watkins missed.

I noticed a bit of agro in the upper Witton.

Touch more than a 'bit'.  Kicked off after Celtic's first goal and the stewards couldn't get it under control.  Couldn't make out who was who in it really, but I think a couple of Celtic fans got a bit of a pasting for their troubles.

Think.the analysis of the game can wait for now and we can just celebrate of finishing in the top 8. Not having to play in that play-off could be massive for our season and we can have a proper go at the FA Cup game against Spurs now.

At the start of the season, I thought our aim was to get into the play-off round really.  To finish in the top 8 is a great achievement.

If only.

Watkins didn't score every chance he had, don'cha know!

Before and after the match every Celtic supporter I spoke to, without exception, was great. Inside they were scum.

In what way?

About 89 1/2 minutes singing about the IRA.

Oh. I was in The Holte so couldn’t really make out what they were singing about when I could hear them.

Got back a few mins ago. F**king brilliant we have finished in the top 8.
We made hard work.of that match though, those triangles either side of our box was.asking for trouble, they closed us down well.and we just kept giving the ball.away - we need Mings back ASAP. but us going fwd they looked dodgy. Ollie? Scored 1, set up 1 and missed a couple, kept.going.

Their “we’re here for a laugh and to support our team” shtick is tiresome. Albion-esque. In reality, they’re nothing but a bunch of ridiculous sectarian tramps who need to fuck right off.

They were right in front of me. It was constant.

More importantly, how much dollar we made?

This is Percy's arena.

I’m marching for a bus. Check out @footballmeetsdata on X.

I make our Champions League revenue so far to be £65m...

I'm Celtic over Rangers every day of the week, but that shit is shameful, and I know a lot of Celtic supporters who agree.

Those responsible can sing about their murderers all the way home, the fucking throwbacks.

Maybe it's a response to Rangers fans singing The Sash and their various songs about killing Catholics and Nationalists for the sake of it, and it's just become repetoire

[pauliewalnuts]

Yeah, I have no interest in that sectarian shit, and if anything, have sympathy for the nationalist cause in the most general terms, but coming to Birmingham and singing that IRA shit, they can absolutely fuck off, the "look at us, aren't we special" ******.

Very clear lyrics of IRA about 3-5 mins before our 3rd  Edit. It wasn't just a few if them either.

[Steve67]

Rogers, Ramsey, Kamara all excellent. McGinn grew into the game, Ollie worked them well with his movement and should have also scored a hat trick. Bailey was very poor generally but did improve. Looking forward to the rest of the window to see how it pans out.

[Paul.S]

Vile songs sung by vile people. Please no one mention how amazing they are again.
