Aston Villa v Chelsea Post-Match Thread

[Percy McCarthy]

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.

It wasn’t my intention to pull you up at all. I’m pretty sure you’re (generally) right. From what I’ve heard from people who know that Andy Frain, he’s a proper wrong un, and I don’t mean just for the hooligan stuff, although it is related to that.

I love beating these wankers. My ex in-laws were Chelsea fans, in fact my ex bro in-law was friends with Matthew Harding, but they developed such an arrogance about them that every time they lose, and especially when it's us that wins, I feel all warm inside...

Felt more of a pen than our Ashley's (I say our Ashley) one chalked off at Everton earlier.

Michael Oliver should never referee a Villa game ever again. Embarrassing officiating.

It’s not just him, there is a long list.

[adrenachrome]

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

Yes, he puts in his best best crosses when he cuts back onto his left foot.

A great skill to have, but you can forget about him going past a left back and crossing it with his right with much success.

Despite the usual start I thought we really took control in the second half. It felt like the game was on the edge of a knife at one point but I felt we were going to get over the line on this one and we did, so credit to everyone here. Emery took the game away from Chelsea with his changes

Every team's fans think this of one ref or another (or all of them).

There is,but Oliver struts around making shit decisions.
It’s hard to understand how shit the refs are.

Clear foul on the bogeyman

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

We've played two of the so-called 'Big Six' this week and on both occasions have had officials who have given them favourable decisions throughout the game.

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

As a Worcester resident, I can sadly confirm that is true. Loads of Liverpool as well. No idea why though and I’ve got no intention of asking any of them! Fairweather fans the lot of them.

Absolutely loads of Villa though - seeing the shirt everywhere these days.

Yeah to be honest that’s all very Arsenal.

When did they change the rules? Bogarde gets pulled back anywhere else on the pitch and it's a free kick. Apparently not in the area. Blatant fouls get overlooked time and time again if they're in the area.

[Hillbilly]

The hairy muppet fella should have been booked for the ‘challenge’ that left Cash in a groggy pile on the floor. Made no attempt to win the ball and backed into Cash while he was in the air. Pretty much textbook dangerous play.

The problem is that they have allowed pushing and pulling now as “ part of the game”
So they have no way of distinguishing foul from fair play.
There is no consistency at all.

Just catching up on the Man U fans thoughts after the day's matches. This was in a thread about our second goal, primarily focused on Rashford.

No disrespect but the fact we have "allowed" Aston Villa to surpass us squad wise is a joke. More so considering they only got promoted back to the PL a few seasons ago is a joke and shows how far we have fallen.

Villa have more ambition and higher standards than we do.

Absolute insanity the level of quality depth they have in attack while clubs like us and Arsenal just sat on our asses in January.
