Aston Villa v Palace Post-Match Thread

[itbrvilla]

Bottom line is, Glasner has Emery’s number as he’s proved this season. They’ve beaten us three times out of four games this season with a seemingly inferior squad.

Bullshit. Uni tried the same thing that hasn't worked previously and expected it to be different this time.

Went to the cutlery drawer in the kitchen this morning to lay the table for breakfast and all I could find was spoons.

My wife had taken the precaution of hiding away all the knives and sharp stuff!

I think your wife deserves a medal for putting up with being married to Alanis Morrisette all these years.

You'll have to explain that one to me SE.

I didn't sleep much last night and that's down to the Villa.  I'd have thought that at the start of my seventh decade I'd manage to shrug off what is, frankly, the norm.  Obviously not.  And I think what hurts the most is, for once, the competition opened up for us. The Cup was there for the winning. Not saying it would be easy, but on our day with the current squad we should be able to beat any of the three remaining teams.
I don't know who I want to blame, but ultimately it's just twenty-first century football.  Year-after-year, we have to watch the same cartel take all the silverware and this season it'll be no different. I wouldn't be surprised if all three European trophies end up in England, just to rub salt into the wounds.  Of course, Newcastle are the exception that proves the rule, which in a way makes it worse. Us and Everton are now the undoubted serial underachievers of the big city clubs.

They missed a penalty and had a player miss an easy put away, it could have easily been worse. When he took JM off with enough time left I thought that Unai doesn't rate the F.A CUP.

Ah, apologies. I won't link to the song on account of it being shite, but Alanis Morrissette's most famous song, Ironic, in which she lists things that aren't ironic, contains the line: 'it's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.'

It wasn't really worth the effort of the weak gag in the end!

Not to mention the goal that was chalked off in sympathy for Konsa's powder puffery.

As the forums biggest Morisette fan or for my curated Bob Monkhouse Barry Cryer collection?

Yet if you'd solely looked at the stats you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a smash and grab from them.

 The morning after the day before and it feels like a nightmare this morning.  I suppose it hurts more as the FA Cup is probably the one trophy I'd like ti see us lift most and it felt like it finally might happen this season.  To go there and offer up that kind of performance yesterday was so disappointing though and has just left a feeling of emptiness today really. 

I do wonder how much Tuesday night impacted on them.  Just put us on a bit of a downer going into such a big game.

Hindsight, Mings and Onana should have started instead of Pau and Asensio.

That’s the frustrating thing…..half of that statement isn't hindsight is it?
Go and take a look at the match thread from yesterday, before a ball was even kicked.
There were alot of posts regarding the decision to play Pau over Mings.

Yes, I got told off.
