Aston Villa v Newcastle Post-Match Thread

[HolteL4]

It was awful (massive understatement) last night.  But how much better is the 90s crest they had on the screen last night than the one we have now. More claret, the lion stands out unlike the current one, literally everything about that 90s crest is better

I just think going out will help us in the final part of the season. It's a shame to think way but the CL and associated money if absolutely vital if we want to progress.

It also helps that we're in the last 16 of a very winnable trophy in Europe.

We don't do trophies.

[dorsetvillian]

We will this season. In Unai we trust...

There's a torrent of Geordie vernacular doing me head in at the hotel this morning. Bunch of bolshy bastids but I can barely make out a word.

Count yourself lucky, wall to wall noses where we are!

I take it you're in The Nutshell in Bury St Edmunds.

Haha, great niche reference. Only time I visited I was batting the mummified cat, flying in the face of superstitious nonsense. On reflection, maybe that's why we don't do trophies any more.

I am fucking totally miserable today. Why do we fuck it up every year? Unbelievably meek yesterday, we played the classic "ten men won't be able to cope" game in the second half and gave up as soon as their equaliser went in. Gutless and weak, no fight no courage.

Strangely I’m more pissed off today than yesterday. Although I’m rarely chirpy on a Sunday

Me too. Feels a hard one to take.

Is ‘batting the mummified cat’ a sexual euphemism?
