Aston Villa v Chelsea Post-Match Thread

[Lizz]

I know 3 Chelsea supporters, and other than that, they're ok people. I've come across some en masse and loathed them.

Always got told that Chelsea had a big following in Worcester. No idea why but would love to know if that’s true?

I remember when it was reported that we were top of the shirt sales charts in Worcester.

You’ll never sing that etc.

First half we wasn't great but other than their goal, neither were they. Much better second half, Rashford made a huge difference not just with his play but we stretched them a bit. Shout out to Bogarde who did really well again which was just as well because Mings didn't look fit from the off. Fernandez for them was great as well.

This season is not over yet boys and girls.

It never was - we're fighting on three fronts!

Does anyone know what happened in L1 after about 20 minutes? Police were dragging a guy away in a headlock as far as I could see from above in K2 but not sure what caused it. I presume there were some Chelsea fans in there.

Someone on the match thread mentioned a fight breaking out and that it was Chelsea fans in the home end.

There does seem to be a lot of Chelsea fans in Worcester, same for Spurs as well, for some ungodly reason, no idea why.

Perhaps it’s the early 70s team that had a bit of success.

Special mention to Cashy who used his left foot to set-up Rashford for the equaliser. It's not just for standing on, he used it to assist Watkins' equaliser at Arsenal too.

Yep it was an excellent cross.

[Chip Butty 111]

Had to laugh how long it took to confirm Rashford was 2 yards onside for the goal, after they disallowed the goal against Liverpool, which was incredibly tight,  in about 5 secs before they put the replay up..

Cash often puts in decent inswinging crosses with his left, we've scored from a few of them over the last couple of years.

Clear foul on the bogeyman

[Small Rodent]

I live beating these bastards. I don’t know a single Chelsea fan who isn’t a racist, Farage loving Trumpanzee.

Same.

Two of the four I know are black. Two really lovely blokes (one African so I don’t mind who he supports, the other one a Brummie who’s brother plays for Livingston). One of the white ones I’d put money on being dead (crackhead I haven’t seen for years - really funny guy though), and the other white one is always off work with his mental health.

Funnily enough the one who got murdered down the Blues in the seventies was a black geezer as well, a Rasta from Small Heath. The bloke who did it was from Chelmsley. He’s dead now too, I knew his brother.

Some tangential shit there, sorry.

That’s a very fair comment as we only have and know our own experiences.

I’m unlucky in the people I know, so using that as a dataset I’m generalising to a huge extent!

Which I like in H&V.

We can all be pulled up on things, listen, understand, accept, and become better.

The one 40 something who works for me is a lovely chap. As a Chelsea fan he hasn't got a clue about football as i keep saying

Yep no idea how they can look at that and go 50/50.

[AV84]

Never met a Chelsea fan here. Don't think they exist in Ireland.
