Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Liverpool

[villakram]

Very enjoyable 23 pages of procrastination

Darren Bent believes our success last night is down to.....

Leeds United showing us the way on the opening day. 

It's all down to Bielsa apparently.

Do you still think Cash isn’t any better than Guilbert?

Tbh i didnt think he was great tonight.  Probably our weak link considering all liverpools attacks came down his side.

Going forward, i like him a lot; defensively, he worries me.  But i said as much having watched him at Forest.  Still early days, but i remain unconvinced that hes ready.  He will be 1st choice England rb in 3-4 years though.

There is not a single Liverpool player that can call themselves a fan of Black Sabbath after that.

Amazing performance. Truly a game we'll never, ever forget!

What strikes me there is the togetherness of the players already. A real good team spirit. Barkley, Watkins and Cash look as though they have fitted in an absolute treat already 

These things take time, you know......months and months, maybe a season to settle.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quality beds in like they have done

Am I doing this right?

 

Oh sorry, you meant long grass Graham...

Who actually watches this crap? The world seems full of people filming themselves reacting to anything and everything, I just don’t get it at all.

It is all very odd isn’t it? I can’t imagine anything worse that watching that pillock for 90mins. A lots of these videos do seem like ego massage for the person making the video rather than actually producing something for viewers.

I'm still smiling. 

Milner, Milner, what's the score?

Have we ever scored 7 at home in a top flight league game? I remember the 6-4 v Blackburn in the League Cup Semi,. and the bonkers 5-5 draw with Forest a couple of years ago. But 7?

We beat Wimbledon 7-1 in 1995.

Souness: “Let’s not get carried away with these bottom of the table teams”

[er, we are second with a game in hand Graeme]

We are doing a Leicester this season.

Before the game he was slagging Barkley and saying he was probably no upgrade for us. The long grass, the lazy Grealish. 

Probably the worst expert commentary I've ever seen.

Can one of our older VT’ers remind me about when we beat Pool by 5 in 1977 (I think) - they we’re European champions and Ron Saunders has just got us up. 

This feels like a similar moment.

I think that Liverpool team may have been slightly better than this one (time will tell) and we were there in person. The atmosphere was electric that night, like this time we couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces and those of us that were fortunate enough to have been there will never forget that night.

PaddyPower also said the following 11 months ago, "In 1976 Aston Villa battered the then league champions Liverpool 5-1 at Villa Park. It's not something that's likely to happen again any time soon" clearly the bookies are not always right after all. We beat them 5-0 in the cup in December and have now done them 7-2 (quote taken from link below):

Delving deep into the record books Villa did beat Liverpool 5-0 on the final day of the 1898/99 season. Villa needed a point to win the league, Liverpool came second.

Sky are becoming all about clickbait. Roy Keane is just an angry caricature, and Souness must just be a miserable old git they put there to generate clicks. He is absolutely clueless as a pundit, and barely seems to understand the game of football. An absolute idiot.

It’s not just you. I see it everywhere now, just type Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool into YouTube and look how many reaction videos there are, there’s shit loads. 
 

It’s not just football either, there’s people making these channels for films, toys, computer games, pretty much anything and someone finds the need to record their exaggerated reaction to it. 
 

The world’s changing man, and I don’t like it
