Aston Villa v Newcastle Post-Match Thread

[Clampy]

It's good that we have different defenders for different circumstances. If Haarland was fit for tomorrow, he'd probably start Mings. Instead he may well go with Torres. They just both have different attributes.

[The Edge]

Both excellent players with different attributes. Vive la difference.

Has to be Pau tomorrow and Mings for the more physical Palace on Saturday.

Best wishes to Eddie Howe on his recovery from pneumonia but one thing I found satisfying about this win was because it reversed a couple of crashing down to Earth situations that Villa have experienced in the past. When Martin O'Neil had just left us in 2010 the first game post MON was against West Ham that we put a great performance in and won 3-1 (James Milner's last game for us). We went to Newcastle full of optimism only to get thrashed 6-0. Then, just after Gerrard had been sacked we bounced back to beat Brentford (who were a bogey side for us at the time) with a great performance. Again we went to Newcastle only again to get a pasting, 4-0 this time. This week we reversed the situation: Newcastle had great results and performances this week while Eddy Howe recovers in hospital. They came to Villa Park full of optimism only to be bought crashing down to Earth, as we were those couple of times. A taste of their own medicine.

They also twatted us up there this season and at B6 last season and celebrated like they had just won the club world cup .
This one was for Matty (another one) Target

What's the beef with Matt Targett?

He was taking the piss out of the Digne celebration last week

[olaftab]

There were some morons on Saturday who booed Matt Targett when he came on. What was that about?

Taking the piss out of Digne’s “and another one”.

Ah, didn't know that. Fuck him, then. He made a good living out of our club.

[dekko]

I also booed him, because out of all players in the league, he's the one most likely to start crying.

they posted it on their official X page after they twatted Palace midweek, did a mock "another one" in the tunnel post game . Seems there's some scar tissue with the Villa Digne upgrade and him getting moved on .

[PaulWinch again]

Yep it’s a weird thing to do for a player who had a decent time here (or at least I thought he did) and one who never gets a game.

[andyh]

Would that have been ‘another one’ where he had taken no part ?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Another deposit in his bank account for doing sweet FA.
