Aston Villa (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Think the post match a activities took preference over the game, unfortunately.
Fortunately. We had nothing to play for. And those people deserved the send off. The game was irrelevant after Bournemouth and the revelations afterwards.
 
And we still did a domestic cup double!
Those cups are really 4 - 5th in pecking order now.. No 1 = prem league No 2= chumps league No 3 = qualify for chumps league No 4: any of the tin pot Euro League / Conf League (the way the 'meeja' goes on) 5 = Fa c Cup and poor 6th = Leagues cup (soon to be overtaken and pushed into 7th IF arsenal win the charity shield).. so next season I hope Enzo sacks these off and tries to sort out a squad that can compete at top table table in chumps and Prem...lot of dead wood to clear out
 
That VAR is definitely a fuck you to city and pep

They could easily have let it go. Nobody could possibly say it was offside. Villa couldn’t have cared less. 2-2 and everybody goes home happy

One way of looking at it is if they hate us that much we must have totally wiped the floor with them on 115
Obviously no one at the club will argue the toss on this decision or any others especially as today it made no material difference. However, ide really like to know if the so called 5cm rule was applied, the pictures show both Foden’s feet onside and he’s hardly fucking Charles Atlas or some bird with a huge arse, it just came across as malicious.
 
Not arsed re the result but let’s be honest that was a diabolical performance to send the great man off with.

Bottom line is the “squad” players are absolutely wank and we have a lot of work to do to get back to the days of having “two first teams” and a bench where every player would walk into everyone else’s first 11.

Reijnders, Gonzalez, Lewis, Marmoush, Savinho simply cannot be here next season. Nowhere near the level to win leagues and CLs.

I’ll save my thoughts on the day/send offs for other threads.
This is the crux of it now
We have a first thirteen or so and then there’s a huge drop off
The quality of the squad needs vast improvement

I couldn't disagree more because it was relative. The fight and winning mentality that the team had to do the domestic cup double after all they'd won over the past 10 years was the perfect send off for the players leaving and that manager. I've complained about the football for 2 years, but to have that drive after all we've won can only be commended and respected.

Also I'll be fucked if I'll join in the bollocks that is the tearing down of the FA Cup by corporate bollocks and advertising. It's still the perfect competition me and to win it after those 2 defeats was cathartic and amazing.

Rubbish
 
No one became a football fan in the hope that one day this would be given as offside in an otherwise emotional but nothing goal on the last day of the season.

Well, it was pretty obvious that Foden was gonna break through that line and thrash the ball into the roof of the net with his arse. PL refereeing on and off the pitch is just abominable. Just another way to disallow one of our goals.

One thing I really respected about Pep is that from the off he emphasized focusing on each and every match. Not playing for the trophy at the end, but simply playing to win each match one by one. That is a winning mentality. No match is beneath us.

Bilge.
 
Just getting home and what a fucking cracking day. Bit pissed, cried my eyes out, need a kebab and probably get told off and bed.
 
Yeah he gave them everything. No opportunity is missed to fuck us over, ever.

One minor moan (honestly, just the one!); it would have been fantastic if Sheikh Mansour was there today.


End of moan!
The sheikh maybe more worried about when the next squadron of drones are arriving. I mean he rarely came in peace time. No way is he coming in the present political situation.
