Aston Villa (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Rashford ran Man City ragged last night apparently.

The expert opinion of Danny Murphy on Talksport.

it was a foul but the way you describing Ruben Dias is atrocious. He has many more merits than you've described. Do you know that he's been here since 2020 and has practically always been a starting eleven player?

Hes been definitely a top player for us, not some douchebag who helped us 1 season

I noticed for the first time that there are yellow for hire bikes under the Nexen Bridge and 2 young people in front of me hired them. Once you get the bike to the main road, I imagine that it works well but for me I enjoy the walk.

On the way back to town I could hear Villa fans complaining about their performance. I expected so much more from Villa. It was like the Newcastle game where a visiting club has been on great form, and then failed to show up against us.

We need those type of teams in the next games.
 
Villa are an excellent side with very good players all over the pitch: City are not the team they have been for the last ten years. Literally! This is true but was startlingly, joyously irrelevant last night. City were without Rodri, Haaland and Stones which would rip the heart out of any team but Ederson, Akanji and Ake couldn't play. Thus 6 of the eleven who won the treble only two years ago, in 23 were injured: Bernado and KdB are supposed to be too old and so the "experts" opinion was that Villa would be too "dynamic" for City to cope with. Not outrageous but simply miles from the truth in the event.

It was not a vintage City performance and some of our passing was sloppy but I really admired our will to win, our sheer determination not to lose. The style of old was not there but the attitude and application were admirable. And fittingly the winner came at the very last gasp engineered by a superb cross behind the Villa back line from a player often criticised for his final ball and hit home by a lad playing out of position and often lambasted for being caught out of position. Not last night! When it really mattered, like the rest of the team, they really stood up to be counted.

Villa, horrible team and even worse fans, the only decent thing about that vile club is the manager. I hope Palace do them over on Saturday.

He also says Brum City kick the shit out of them when they meet and thinks that why they are all gob shites.

They're a bitter bunch of cunts Villa fans. Dine off that European Cup win and think they're the biggest club in the world even though most of their success was in black and white. You'd think they sold Villa Park out through thick and thin the way they talk. Truth is they've had a lot of success but had plenty of dark days too and a lot of fans didn't turn up, like with most clubs. If they accepted things as they were rather than being so bitter about our success they'd be more tolerable.

When your greatest ever PL player is Gabby Agbonlahor you need to wind your necks in.
 
Cannot see it mentioned here but that was a real six pointer. By winning, we are 4pts clear of Villa. If they had snatched the win instead, they would have been 2pts ahead of City, hence the six pointer. Brilliant result. No idea whom Pep will select for the semi final but maybe he should keep the same eleven for the final if we meet Villa again.

It was a massive 3 points when you consider Chelsea have to play forest and Newcastle. 3 more wins will do it actually think 2 will do tho.

I really admired Mattias Nunez for showing the character to appeal for the ball from Jeremy Doku. He could clearly be seen with his hand raised. He could have hidden after his mistake led to that dubious penalty. I'm really happy for him. It reminded me of Richard Edghill who also used to get a lot of criticism but stepped up to take and score the penalty against Gillingham.

I don’t think there’s any chance of it , we can’t can’t afford 350k a week. We may have PSR troubles again if we don’t get CL , which is looking very unlikely now.

time you're owners started shouting out about bent rules and showing some balls .Forest are every chance getting top 5 and not a peep about stupid rules broken last season because they know only brought in to stop one team and the rest collateral damage as yanks call it

Hahahahhaha what a reach!!

We’re at the point we’re congratulating a £53m player for putting his hand up?

Edgie was bulled to fuck by the main stand and booed. Nothing like what’s happened to Nunes - every week people think “why the fuck is Nunes playing?” but he’s had no stick at the games compared to what Edghill got.

Stepping up to take a penalty in a final, after what just happened earlier in that game, was proper leader material and Edghill was class for that. Putting your hand up to ask for the ball is nothing like it.

Most of their trophies were filmed on a Camera Obscura never mind in black and white
