[Zero7]

Wins a win. I knew it wound be A tough game and would have been happy with a point. Although my 2-1 predication in the pre match thread came good

Can’t believe I’m sitting here after coming back from behind away to Brentford and still feeling annoyed/frustrated. 
 

Up till the red card looked like it was gonna be one of those days where we just couldn’t break them down and lose 1-0 so it was good to see us finally make use of them having 10 men which hasn’t always been the case in recent times. 
 

To lose Kamara for 3 games has annoyed me. We are playing against 10 men and leading but Martinez/Kamara have allowed the Maupay situation to mean we now miss Kamara for 3 games. Think the Sheff Utd/Burnley games should be ok but missing Kamara for Old Trafford is frustrating  when it was unavoidable. So naive. 

 

 

"missing Kamara for Old Trafford is frustrating when it was unavoidable." Gotta say, everybody else thought that it was, in fact, avoidable.

Good to see Wrighty and Shearer backing up Ollie on MOTD. Also, “yeah I’d do it again.” Good lad.

Just watched MOTD, on first, we must have arrived at the big time.

Noticed the Brentford players charging in and shoving everyone around every chance they got, Frank(n Furter) said he doesn't like that, but he must have instilled that behaviour, he's the **** coach.

Somebody please post images of Wissa punching Gilmour, which should have meant a red card banning him today, next to Kamara stroking the cheek of that Bee...

Brentford are not known for that behaviour, but today they went feral. Which means that Villa are finally terrifying opponents. Mwahahahahaha.

On the final day of the final season that the Holte End was all standing, Villa fans gave Ian dog's abuse. He scored twice in Arsenal's 2-1 win & did far, far worse than Ollie today. I was there. April 23 1994.

More inconsistency from the ref , during the Watkins goal , Konsa got the same face contact from one of their players that  Kamara got his red for …

Few weeks on from us comfortably beating Spurs and one of my mates is still salty about it … apparently Maupay was a clear  pen and I’m biased because I can’t see it … this is despite nobody other than Maupay and Franks thinking it was a pen … and Franks also thought Mee wasn’t a red so I think we know what shade of glasses he is wearing . 

Great that Emi got his own feature on match of the day tonight but I  wonder at what point someone in The FA does a montage of all the scuffles and shenanigans Maupay has instigated over the years

I liked the fact they laughed all of the nonsense at the end of the game, rather than taking will something please think of the children approach.

Good to see on MotD that both in commentary and then on the sofas, no one thought there should have been a penalty for the Mee and McGinn grapple, no one thought the Mee tackle was anything other than a red and no one thought that the bump and flop that Maupay pulled on Konsa was a penalty - I think the VAR did really well today. They got a couple of other things right as well, including the foul on McGinn that was a yellow. Kamara was a red and Pinnock might have had one too for trying to drop the nut on Konsa in the goalmouth melee - but even though the ref lost it late on, I don't think it was the worst performance, even if he was largely rescued by his VAR.

Good to see that most observers agree with us on the big decisions -Thomas Frank was upset by three decisions, he was wrong about all of them.

If the bump on Maupay was a penalty then surely the Brentford player cannoning into Kamara with both feet off the ground at an earlier corner was also one?

 

[Robtaylor200]

Never hated Brentford before. New one to add to.my list

They can say what they like, we are the ones with 3 points. 

On the other hand,  Emi is bloody funny and I donr.think he got booked lol

Btw.  The assist from Bailey on Moreno’s goal and the assist from Kamara on Watkins. Should both be on every list of greatest assists of all time.
