4Serious Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 It's funny - I almost never think it's a handball. We always claim for handballs as a crowd or whatever and I'm thinking 'take the claret specs off!' but when it happened to us you all thought it was still a pen so I guess it isn't bias. Never, for me. Unless the guy is looking at the ball or has his arm out I just don't see how you can give it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I love how the Stoke fans boo when we are knocking it around on the floor. 'What is this.. what are they doing... we have never seen this before...?!!!?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Just logged on from room 15647 at the Bellagio Hotel in Vegas. Its 90 degrees outside and the Villa are winning. Can it get any better !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Downing is playing a blinder. Best ive seen him play in a Villa shirt . He was excellent against West Ham too It looks like he's really starting to settle into the side - which a lot of the non-mongs said that he would following a full pre-season. If he keeps this up, we'll be sitting pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Can't understand why Downing can't play like that EVERY week.....great touch. Stoke, tbh, did'nt know which way to turn at the end of the half and if we had a bit of luck we'd have killed it off by now. They're a huge team, but they're getting turned inside out by some fantastic wing play. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncy_chris Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Well from the intermittent highlights I've seen on UStream and Veetle streams, we've looked pretty shaky at the back and probably should have conceded a penalty. That Ashley Young miss could be crucial- I hope we can build on the lead second half, rather than sit back and let them come at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthEastVillan Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Second half is all about retaining possession for me. if we can keep the ball and draw them out then i can see us grabbing a second. important half time for k-mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieB Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thats how you play against these anti footballing thugs , outpass and outclass them , show the poor home fans some real football... Agreed. I knew we might win if I didn't go tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefordvillan Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 WDFAFC! what ?? We do **** all from corners. Made me laugh. Sad but true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 WDFAFC! what ?? We do **** all from corners. Why play it short there with seconds left....should've just banged it into the box.... Well they just worked a short corner really successfully, they have 8/9 player 6 foot plus. We have 3/4.....considering they are playing, I doubt they were really concentrating on the time or usually if the time is shown in the stadium it stops at 45.00......so they probably didn't know.

CVByrne Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Downing is playing a blinder. Best ive seen him play in a Villa shirt .

If he keeps this up, we'll be sitting pretty. Exactly, look how Milner did in his second season. 12mil wouldn't have been spent on Downing while injured if he didn't have talent. He clearly does. 2 of 4 Prem games he's played very well now and we can all forgive the Newcastle one where all the team were shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 A bright, composed, energetic start to the 2nd half is what we need. If we go out thinking we've already won, we could be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
