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

[dangull]

2nd half was a bit dissapointing, but not surprising as the home fans were desperate and that was tranfered to the referee.

 

[Triggaaar]

I’m judging him on the amount of wrong decisions. It was astonishing. The fact he didn’t affect the result is pure and utter luck, he seemed to be trying his absolute best.

Are you suggesting that the ref made a lot of wrong decisions in our favour? I suspect that's not your intent. It looked like quite a lot of decisions in their favour, which very well may have affected the result.

 

[Mackenzie]

Leeds though

 

[Bodian]

The overall quality.

We weren't great, but villa weren't trying to play anything of note, the game continually stopped every few mins for a few mins, there was no flow and the ref was all over the place.

Fortunately my stream dropped out in the second half, so I missed most of it...

 

[origigull]

I'm pleased on how the season panned out with European qualification. Some cracking games seen and some duff ones especially those in the last couple of months when we were sometimes running on empty. Can't moan about today's result in the grand scheme of things. If we lose a few of our better players hopefully the conveyer belt is working well for the close season. Upwards and onwards.

 

[chickens]

A bit disappointed at the result, but we didn’t have anything more to play for, and while I absolutely hate Villa’s style of ‘game management’, it was expected from the home match against them. With the benefit of home support I felt they definitely had the rub of the green in terms of ref decisions, but it wasn’t our best performance this season.

It doesn’t change how proud I am of our team this year. I want everyone to stay, but know that’s unrealistic. I hope every single person associated with the club gets to enjoy some kind of summer break, and I can’t wait to see what the team looks like after De Zerbi’s first full pre-season with the team.

Some very unlikable players at Villa.

That McGinn could do with taking one on the chin.

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

We're did, Dear Friend

 

[AlbionBro]

I hope the big clubs start dismantling Brentford or Fulham.
Next season will be very interesting.
This must be the only year ever I didn't want a season to finish for three weeks in benidorm.
What a thoroughly entertained year we have all had.

 

[maltaseagull]

Unhappy with the result after Wednesday's performance.
But can't complain about a fantastic season.
What's exciting is the talent coming through once we get loads of cash for Ali Mac and possibly Caicedo

 

[Dick Head]

We're did, Dear Friend

i new weird loose

 

[Stat Brother]

Highlight of the day:-

Doing 75mph+ down the M42 and being overtaken by a J plate Reliant Robin.



Ledge

F**kin

End.

That McGinn could do with taking one on the chin.

One? ONE?

Actually, a casual running headbutt to the chest followed by a neutering tread on the jewels would be my prefered 'tackle'

I'm sure he's be playing in a pisspot paint glue n spanners bodge league soon enough

 

[OzMike]

Just woke up, shame we couldn't end on a high.
Job done anyway.
Also, Villa will be in the Europa fringe festival, not the real thing, but someone had to be.
Will read though more at smoko, as I have an earlier start today.

The overall quality.

We weren't great, but villa weren't trying to play anything of note, the game continually stopped every few mins for a few mins, there was no flow and the ref was all over the place.

EXACTLY what most of us expected at Villa Park.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

What a fantastic season.
Terrible atmosphere down the front though.
People need to get their act together if we're gonna compete in Europe fanwise

 

[Stat Brother]

As per a reply - the Villa fans seemed genuinely surprised we applauded their In Memoriam piece at H/T.

Such a low bar where football fans are concerned.

 

[Stat Brother]

Oh yeah tucked into the left hand corner of the Holte End was a small banner that read

Sultan of Unai.


Absolute weapons grade horseshit.
