[Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Sheebo]

Some of the comments on the Villa forum are f*cking hilarious.

- Someone calling us a lower league club... How many years in a row have we finished above the mighty Villa?

- A whole lot of people exaggerating the penalty incident. Apparently you could see the impact on their players shinpad when March 'fouled' him.

- A lot of people not even willing to admit March won the ball. He accidently touched it (or it was kicked in to him) rather than him making a tackle.

- "Really good players are not allowed to play football and instead they are brought down over and over until there bodys are screwed from constant takedown" Agreed, players really need to stop kicking Lamptey a foot in the air because he's too good for them.

- "Maupay pissing off Luiz to high end and referee let's him get away with it" - Agreed again. That elbow to the throat was... oh wait that was a Villa player so it doesn't matter.

"It's amazing how many journos and pundits are arguing it wasn't a pen. They know nothing. It's embarassing." Yes, all the pundits know nothing, but The_Steve on VillaTalk is right. Absolute muppet.

Absolutely what you'd expect from fans of a club who wallow in victories from before half of them were born. The Sheffield Wednesday of the midlands.

They’re on a par with Leeds and Massive with their arrogance and delusion. I remember loads of ‘boasting’ comments when Calderwood joined them (for family reasons!) - things like ‘when the Villa come calling they come’ etc - hahahahahh

The funniest bit for me in the absolute mental gymnastics from a lot of them. Obviously think they're a massive club but then the old 'that penalty wouldn't have been overturned if it was a big club'... but I thought Villa were a big club?

Just seen the highlights.......Lamptey should not have been booked for that second yellow and if that Penalty was given i would have given up watching football. Villa players must spend all week diving and acting.

Veltman, Lallana and Welbeck costing a total of £0.9m in transfer fees. TB and his team

I thought the mix of youth and experience was pretty spot on today.
We’ve got Welbeck up and running, now we have to keep him injury free.

How have you not been banned by now? Your posting history is very interesting. I encourage everyone to take a look, especially our marvellous moderators. Cheers.

To be fair he just seems to be a massive idiot who's wrong about everything. If we had to ban all of them...........

Hmm, any predictions for where this game is going to be on MOTD?

Man U first, whatever the result, Man C second, whatever the result, Chelsea third, whatever the result, Grealish next

Happy with these bets, betting on any left back to get a yellow against Lamptey has to be a good one!

 

[Coldeanseagull]

In the end, Brighton were simply more clinical

That is pasted from bbc website, well, well, well!

Another quote from the idiot smith

"I thought we had control of the game and if we had taken our chances we would have won."
Total melt. If my auntie had nuts she'd be my uncle

Lallana tight groin. Veltman on

Part of the agreement not to play against Liverpool next week

 

[phoenix]

How many times have we seen this, this season? Blame the ref, VAR all you want - this team lacks bottle to tough out wins

But they just did "Tough out a win" what a pratt.

 

[nwgull]

Agree passing was an issue but good to see him
Being proactive and bring the ball forward.

I am wonder what a defensive 3 of white Veltman and dunk looks like

It’ll look like a brown haired baby faced lad with lots of tattoos, a dark haired Dutch guy with a long neck and Neil off the Inbetweeners.

Must say Im enjoying reading the BBC comments section. unanimous from all clubs fans, that Villa were a bunch of diving cheats, praising us and also panning Grealish for getting Lamptey sent off.

Quite liked this, very true description of Trezeguets dive.

"The only way you'd naturally dive like that is if you were kicked hard in the nuts between the legs from behind when you weren't expecting it."

Maybe I'm being dopey but I can't find the comments section on that link?!

I think we’ll be on first. The game had everything for the neutral: close game, both sides getting goals, missed chances/good saves, a late red card and an even later controversial penalty decision. The other 2 games have been regulation 2-0 wins and I can’t see West Brom troubling Man U enough to make it exciting.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Webster's passing was poor again. He's not the finished product but he has too many games where he gives it away incessantly.

Lost his man for the goal too.
Proper old school clumsy Webster today.
Generally this season he’s been a lot better.

 

[Javeaseagull]

I COULD be biased but our game was the best I've seen today by quite some distance. We'll still be last on MOTD as we all know.

Are people still bothered by this

I suppose not but I am looking for something to be angry about!
