PIW Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 When I start to sober up I'll try and work out exactly how great today is. Celebrating their relegation small time? Nah **** it. brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Just got back from the match. Great day throughout and we fully deserved the win today. We were solid at the back (for most of the match) and looked very dangerous going forward. It was a great way to end the season. Then there was of course the joy of the blue scum going down. I have uploaded a video to YouTube of some of the singing going on. Apologies for the poor quality and my hands shaking. You can see it here: Anyway, it's been a great day to be a Villan!

Brumstopdogs Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Very good win today - always nice to beat Liverpool! Blues and Blackpool going down - yes! Finishing above Sunderland - yes Also got a text from a Newcastle mate about 5 o'clock telling me how they were going to finish above us and it was easy. Great day - up the villa!

Pelle Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Villa sign Bent, desperate. Liverpool sign Carroll for at least £10m more, logical. Well, wonder who was desperate and who made the logical signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Good performance today. Stars for me: DJ, NRC, both FBs and Friedel Did well: All of the rest. Ref was crap. Gary Macallister - did well UNTIL he bought of NRC for Gabby. Another absolutely clueless substitution that we did well to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 What a fantastic day. In the morning I lopped 4 minutes off my personal best for a 10k race in the Hill West 10k in Sutton Park. In the afternoon we beat Liverpool hard on the heals of beating Barcelona Lite (aka Arsenal). To cap a perfect day Blues get relegated with their team of Villa cast offs. The atmosphere at VP was brilliant. Loved the "going up, going down' singing. I think for the last 10 minutes nobody was watching the game. They were all glued to their radios cheering the scores as they came through. As for MotM it has to be NRC. Loved the aggression, loved the hard tackling, loved the commitment. He has got to stay. Only bizarre bit was bringing on Gabby on the left for NRC, Very high risk IMO but GMac got away with it. Still buzzing and cannot wait for MotD. Final thought. If Craig Gardner leaves Blues will he suddenly become a super fan of the team he goes to? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 **** yes, what a day! 9th is an awesome way to end a bollocks season. Who'd have thought we would beat Arse and Liverpool after the Wolves game?! **** yes! Keep NRC please and it's quite obvious Ash is off. Looking forward to next season. Albrighton was good when he came on I thought too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowandlow Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 the only thing that saved this abortion of a season being wiped from my memory is the shite going down!!!!! shame the 'going up, there going down' has never really got going properly (even back in 2003) actually in the stand, everyone joins in at different times but it was still class even everyone doing different bits at different times hahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahaha there is a team that we all know that come from birmingham they were in the premier league til they played tottenham pav scored in the final minute, the referee blew up and now those blues and white bastards are in division 1 the old classic needs a re-work!!!!!

Neil Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 You just have to stop yourself and remember that we played well today and beat liverpool. Was way to focused on what was going else where to take it all in during the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowandlow Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 agreed, the second half was a background thing really, as bad as it sounds (shows how shocking this season has been really) the noses i know have taken it quite well to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Gary Macallister - did well UNTIL he bought of NRC for Gabby. Another absolutely clueless substitution that we did well to survive. And yet we won the game. If we'd lost you could criticise him for the substitution but as it is it was the right decision. You have absolutely no grounds to say it was the wrong thing to do when the decision is vindicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAndLoyal Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Sorry, did the Villa play today? My man of the match was Mr Roman Pavlyuchenko - Villa legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Just seen highlights.. Dunne handball, he is fast becoming a liablity in every game he plays.. even last week he was lucky not to be sent off and give away a penalty. That said I liked the patient passing we had, yes it probably looked frustrating but the patient build up did the trick and Albrighton's cross in was great.. Downing's control and technique was superb too with the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
