The stupid thing is, it wasn't even a contentious red card (or shouldn't have been). It was pretty blatant. Brentford just seemed to lose their heads completely.

Franks was having a right go and our bench.. wait till he sees the replay. Not sure why it took so long to send him off

[Aston_Villan4]

Surprised no one’s said it yet. Today we put the Villain in Villa.

Spoiler

Watkins pointing out the fan(s) again behind the goal and explaining to Frank, wouldn't be surprised if he was getting some racist shit shouted at him all game.

Ref lost control of that, we should have been more professional even if they are a dirty bunch of words removed down there at Brentford. Shame as recent history they've been a model club both in playing style and off the field.

We have developed a knack of winning games we would have lost weakly before Emery arrived.

F*** em W*****s.

Big thanks to Ben Mee for always being a c***.

Hope Maupay treads on some lego at home.

 

F lego

That game, that performance, that comeback. Win when ugly and rattling the opposition.

Losing key players in games we know we can cover as well.

Thats what champions do.

BELIEVE

Ref had such a good view, insane he didn't give the red himself. Ref was awful.

One of the funniest halves of football I've seen in a while, descended into utter lunacy but as much as that is the antithesis of what Emery probably wants we do have a few players that seem to revel in that environment like Martinez, Zaniolo, Duran and in a low-key way Konsa. 

That's the kind of game we've been losing this season so just delighted to get the win, they're struggling bad in terms of the availability of key players but they'll always be so difficult to get a result against at home.

Kamara being out now is a killer though as soft as it was. The team doesn't function nearly as well without him.

[Zhan_Zhuang]

First-half Villa were pretty average yet controlled much of the game.

They offer nothing to the game yet score a fluke goal.

Second-half Villa much improved and deserved to win, statistics also confirm this.

Brentford are poor losers though and they are a poor team; finally Ben Mee gets his comeuppance for being a s*** footballer.

Moreno MOTM for me and great to see him back.

[OutByEaster?]

Brentford are weird, they came up with football and style and ideas as this progressive example to others and they've gradually morphed into Stoke.

[vreitti]

Absolutely shocking refereeing.

Martinez antics so so unnecessary. If he wasn't our keeper I'd **** despise him.

Ref turned that game into an absolute shitshow, so he gets a very poor.

Watkins MotM for scoring and being generally good on the ball. Also for not absolutely losing his head.

I thought he did OK.  He got (with VAR) most the decisions right.  The only thing he really got wrong were the mellee after Watkins scored (triggered by a Brentford player needlessly getting into Ollie's face) and the one at the end (when again the instigator seemed to get away with it).  Prior to that he'd been good.

[Talldarkandransome]

Good signs from that is that we fought back. Made the possession domination count in the end.

 

[villa89]

Poor performance and the result masks the mess that was that game. Our away form is a huge problem, we didn't function at all in the second half until mee went off.

Immense win. Big thanks to Ben Mee for his contribution. Lots to learn from that. Too many players needlessly lost their composure and we ultimately paid the price with a silly red card. But a huge three points, which seemed impossible with 20 minutes to go. 

[The_Steve]

Was out with the family and take great pride in another huge win and the failings of Ben Mee. 
 

UTV! 

[MikeMcKenna]

Great result but Martinez and Kamara were both stupid. 

[John]

Well Brentford deserved that. They were lucky to end the game with 10 men. They were so negative in the second half and some of those challenges were really X certificate stuff. Mee and Maupay are so easy to detest and they were not alone in being over the top today. The referee was awful and I would have said that he lost control of the game, but he never really had any control over it did he? We got out of jail today, but we won and we had the last laugh! 

[Nigel]

love to know who Oli was talking to behind the goal.

Not much love for him from Brentford now.

 

[Jas10]

So good to have got out of that shithole with the 3 points but…

Kamara will be a big miss. So unnecessary, shouldn’t have risen to their bull crap.

Enjoy that Ben Mee and get a life Maupay.

Horrible club, vile players, dweeb of a manager.

A new enemy has arisen…

The hatred is real. They are scum.

I think we were incredibly lucky with the Konsa one mostly. Any contact in the back is usually a foul. 

Maybe that one too - though I think Maupay steps across him as much as anything.
