Preston v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Brazilian Villain]

First time ever in Villa history that 3 goal scorers have had the first two letters of their surname as RA.

Cheers, I was wondering why the Villa fans were chanting "Ooh, ahh, up the Ra."

Underreported fact from today was 2 x Luca Digne assists.

We did what we had to do we have to win two more games in the FA Cup and it definitely is our year.

Two scabby, jammy, messy, lucky, thoroughly undeserved 1-0 wins will do me just fine.

[robleflaneur]

2 draws will do.

Jaysus!

Patient and controlled first half - though some of the passing and crossing was not at the expected level. Second-half we blew them away and it should have been 6.

That’s enormous. Probably requires a proclamation from the Pope, Chief Rabbi, Dalai Lama and Imam from Makkah.

Really professional performance. Great to see Rashford get a couple. I loved watching the penalty back and his slow mo run up and just waiting for the goalkeeper to move his body weight before slotting it.

Kamara is world class. He wouldn’t look out of place in any top top team.

Up the..... no, never mind.

Edit - i see someone else went all in already.

I managed to get a free ticket in the PNE posh seats from a mate. I sat on my hands, and all was good in the world. I was home to do some gardening in about 30 minutes and didn't 'need' to drink ten pints. I also got a nice souvenir Preston and Villa half-and-half flag as I took my seat (I know). Can we play you every week? Fair play to Preston. It felt like a proper club family atmosphere where I sat.

Great day apart from the complete oaf  in block q who was so drunk he could hardly stand and nearly dragged a woman down the stairs. Dickhead.

As well as a toast from Mr Farage for a small fee.

Just got back ..  bit of traffic with an accident on the M6 with fire engines   but other than that fine .

Kamara was immense and great for 'Rashy'  double goals , that ball to Rogers too was brilliant. Could have been 5 or 6 easy really , kinda didnt get out of first gear  , good to see JJ have a decent game.

And the quality of subs to come on is a joy to see  and resting Pau and Maatsen.

Kamara and Ramsey were our best players. Digne was poor, by his standards. Ollie needs a re-set.

  Yeah, Digne was very poor, only  2  assists?
