That main event was absolutely, utterly, entirely and wholly ridiculous. 

(I loved every second!)

Please feel free to explain why

Happy to.

They bought their ticket. They have invested money, time and energy in supporting the club. 

I didn't go, but could have. Chose not to. What sort of supporter does that make me? I'm even worse than them in your eyes as I gave substantially less effort, invested no money in our club and spent my time doing other things.

The ticket was theirs. The seat was theirs. They can arrive, leave, sing, be silent whenever they want. 

Explained.

Bloody hell mate.

Well at least we have a more than adequate replacement for the injured Ramsey currently in the team and on a cheap fee.

I'm not sure what you've taken offense with what I said?

I think they bought Rogers with an eye on selling Ramsey in the summer. 

If true, given Ramsey's horrendous year of injuries, that will turn out to be a poor strategic decision, 

We won't sell below Ramsey's worth and we won't get Ramsey's worth after this washout season.

If we’d have won today we’d be no more certain where we are going to finish… hopefully we can put together a performance across two legs v Lille as it’s doubly important now.

This is fanciful thinking. We'd be no more certain if we beat City, Brentford, Arsenal and Bournemouth. Certainty requires fact. Fourth place would be more possible / likely had we won today, however.

At last we've been punished for the ridiculous playing of one of the country's best centre halfs at right back ...... hopefully this may give Unai a kick up the ass. Every team starts with Konsa at cente-half without exception ...... move others around but to play Konsa out of position is plain stupid and it cost us today big time !

 

Did you feel the same when we beat Man City and Arsenal with Konsa at RB?

Or just reacting to one game?

Very, very disappointing, but not the end of the world. It's been a while, but I don't think I've seen more over the top fan reactions in my 11 years on Villa Talk. Yes, we were absurdly stupid for just under 10 minutes, but shame will get our players nowhere fast. We learn from it, and we go on. I can't believe some of the psychotic shit on the match thread today. Truly felt embarrassed for people. Jesus. It's football. 

 

 

I agree with a lot of this, but, "we learn from it". Do we? 2-0 seems to be a dangerous score for Villa.

We have the worst "supporters" in the league. I laugh in the face of anybody who left early or didn't sing unless we were winning if they are complaining about the money they spent on the game.

Your as bad as the supporters you're mocking with shit like this.

I’m not happy about the result. Equally, I find the nonsense about people claiming 4th is now gone totally self defeating. 

This I agree with completely, I haven't seen posts of people saying that. A ridiculous overreaction.

2 minutes ago, Captain_Townsend said:

So he's no longer the best player I'm the world any more and is instead the shitest?

 

Got it.

Has anyone said this? 

This sort of post, making a parody of posts that don't exist, are worse than the posts you're making up.

Just now, The_Steve said:

I’m just parodying some of the hyperbole posted 

Why is it hyperbolic?

2-0 and to drop two points is atrocious. People can be upset in the moment, on the singular event, but not be damning Villa, and our season, in the entirety.

Just now, The_Steve said:

Can’t believe Spurs are going to win all their remaining games and we will lose all of ours. 

Whose said this?

Just now, Captain_Townsend said:

Best season since 1997 despite crippling injuries.

Up the Villa.

That doesn't mean that, as a single event, want **** atrocious.

There's nothing stopping us going to Arsenal and getting 3 points and suddenly 4 points in 2 games is a good outcome. 

It's not beyond the realms of possibility no matter how good they are.

(Glass half full)

I suppose the only thing stopping us is... Arsenal.

(And ourselves).

His distribution was awful today, which exposes the diabolical defending. 

Jesus, such a bad day all round.

I detest the term, but, we absolutely bottled that. A disgusting performance. 

Imbecile. Absolutely, ****, moronic.

Complete and utter liability today. Hopefully won’t start again for us this season or we are done for. I see the potential but the kid is too raw. Loan needed next season 

One of many that could be highlighted.

Our fanbase is the opposite of supportive at times.

If Emi is fit to start, it would be insanity to leave him on the bench

Even dear Robin would agree with this.

Not bad at all considering the fixtures. The next 6 are:

Man City (a)

Brentford (h)

Arsenal (a)

Bournemouth (h)

Chelsea (h)

Brighton (a)

If we can get any more than 10 points from that then we would have done really well. 

I've got us with eight points. 

L, D, L, W, W, D.

Slightly pessimistic perhaps, but that's the Villa fear kicking in!

For 90 minutes, and 90 minutes only, I'm not going to wish death upon the guy who enjoys kicking cats. 

After the game, in the **** bin he goes.

I'm far less worried about Man United than I am about doing our part to help get the extra CL spot.

The most important thing we can do for our chances of CL football is actually winning the Conference League.

Surely the most important thing we can do four our chances of Champions League football is to finish fourth?

Mind the gap you Yam Yam custard, bowlers 

However, I remain classy so far, but this will change after necking a couple of bottles of red with Easter dinner. They’re going to get it both barrels, especially her stupid brother

You're doing god's work my friend.

See for me naming rights have to be done when the stadium is opened as it sticks.  Bolton play at the Reebok for me, Stoke at The Brittania.  Arsenal will always be The Emirates now even if someone takes over sponsorship same at The Etihad.  Its a one shot deal.

 

 

If only the world loved by S-Platt's logic.

They'll make an absolute **** tonne from this deal.
