What's their away support like? Crap I presume?

Completely empty section directly behind the net. I'd liken their support tonight, to Blackburn's at ours last season.

Can't remember when I last felt so apathetic towards the Villa. Did anyone expect anything else other than a pasting? I can't even be bothered to be angry. We're in a relegation battle. Get used to it.

i really wanted to go to this game because its close to were i live but i haven't been to a home or away game so it hasn't been on general sale is there a possibility that i could still go?

Doubt they'll get put on general sale. Might be worth getting in touch with the Yorkshire Lions Club. Contact details here.

Still easy as pie to get tickets for this. Picked up 3 today. Hope interest for this picks up, would be nice to have a big crowd there for the 3rd round of the Cup. Good ticket prices, even for non season ticket holders.

Anyone know if they are likely to sell tickets on the day? Still not sure if I can make it or not yet.

When I got mine I asked the ticket office the very same thing and she said it hadn't been confirmed yet but they expect to be told that there will be tickets for sale at the ground on the day for the away end. With this in mind, and the fact we have now probably sold the initial 2,500 hopefully we will take a good 3,000-3,500.

Cheers mate. Will give the ticket office a bell on Friday, to check.

"Shit on the Villa" they sang. When? Not in the last 25 years you haven't. Fookin' Yam Yams!

Villa have got about as much penetration as a limp cock. **** disgrace tonight. Feel sorry for all those who have traveled to Anfield on such a freezing cold night.

16 games played, 17 points, -10 goal difference. Relegation form if ever I saw it.

Nah, too much hilarity for one thread I think

It's just too funny for words up here at them moment. Christmas has come early! I've never seen so many smiling Sunderland fans either!

Yeah, I guess...but it wouldve been nice to have ripped off their earrings and feed them to them. But then again getting put in the hospital after a severe beatdown by dozens of people and getting on the news for being an American beat up by hooligans aint my cup of tea. Still sucks.

Don't let it play on your mind, I'm sure most of us have been in similar situations. Better to live and fight another day sometimes. I'm just sorry that you had to experience such behaviour from citizens of my city. They really do bring nothing but shame on our great city.

Just got home.

First off: Villa Away fans were out of control. If anyone was watching it on Sky, I was on TV first row Green number 10 NY Jets Jersey.

After the match things got ridiculous. Blues fans invaded the pitch and moron Villa fans threw all kinds of shit towards the field trying to hit blues fans....essentially hitting Villa fans in first few rows and stewards, pathetic. I saw at least a dozen stewards or fans bleeding from their heads. I asked a steward when we'd be let out of the stadium and as he leaned in to tell me he was struck in the head by a chair and knocked to the ground. The flare was after all this. Pathetic behaviour, seriously. I'd never recommend taking a wife, gf or children. My blues fan friend told me good thing the Villa lost. He's probably right, there would have been complete insanity.

We were kept in the parking lot for another 30 mins.

As we were approaching the street that turns right towards Digbeth a group of 20 blues fans outside some dodgy ass bar tried picking a fight and a huge 50+ people brawl ensued. Cars reversed back up the road to get out of the way. 0 police. They just escorted us just past mcdonalds and that what it. Fing worthless.

As I made my way past Digbeth towards the bullring we passed some shady bar with bars on the windows. As I was crossing the street someone asked me the score ( wasnt wearing villa colors). I said 2-1 and he punched me in the face. I was surrounded by this 40 year old guy and 4 chav teenagers with diamond earrings and highlights.

I told them to relax and walked away, realizing if I fought back I would have gotten a beatdown from 30plus people who were standing outside the bar. I got hit a few times, kicked in the balls....then dazed crossed the street to catch up with the rest of the group.

My Jaw hurts and I have a cut or 2 on my face...but I'll survive. I was kinda dazed, thinking whether or not to fight back or run away across the street and maybe thats why i was hit again.

Anyways, all of this is going down and the stupid police helicopters are saying "this is the police, you are being recorded" Big frigging help they were. What a joke. Ive been in Birmingham for 4 months now and this was my first taste of Yobs or chavs or whatever u call them.

England's world cup bid. YEAH RIGHT, a big lol to that. Ridiculous really.

Oh, and the result was shit.

**** hell dude hope ya have a few whiskys after that ...no need for that shit at all ....You were right not to throw back

I just kinda feel like a p*ssy for not fighting back, but it probably would have been a lot worse for me if i had done. Really frustrating. Literally 14 yo teens, what a joke.

You did the right thing mate. You've got the total moral high ground on this, and it sounds like your restraint has stopped a possible major incident.

I blame those fecking claret shorts. We never win when we play in all claret. Seriously, we always get beat in that kit.

That and Dunne and Collins.

Oh my god yes!

I've been thinking this for ages. We always lose on them and it's been the case for years.

As soon as I saw we were wearing them, I knew we'd get beat. Please no more claret shorts! If we need a change, then they should be blue!

Clutching at straws? Me? Never! :winkold:

Peter Siddle's teeth.

A hard earned 3 points. Harder than it should have been, but still.

Campbell equalises, nearly smash my coffee table. Collins winner, jumping about like a loon. That's what it's all about. How boring would it be to be a Chelsea or Man U fan?

We really are on a hiding to nothing here. If we win, it's only against Blackpool's reserves. Lose or draw, and it's ONLY against Blackpool's reserves.

For someone who is about 10 foot tall, Zigic gets beat in the air every time. Aren't you glad he turned us down? :winkold:

I'm very fond of Jessica 'The Teenage Vampire' from True Blood

MOTD2 didnt even show him distributing the ball, bollox.

Yeah I noticed that. Really pissed me off that they didn't show his pass. If it was Stevie Me or Lamplard that had played that ball, they'd have been creaming their pants.

How long has it been now since we last scored?

Ah ball bags!

Come on then lads. Our extra fitness needs to tell. Retain possession, and leave them chasing shadows. Sounds easy doesn't it?

Downing!!!!!!!

Is Osbourne on the bench?

Surely it's Salifou time?

Bollocks
