rodders0223 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Speaks volumes. Tossers. To be fair I wouldn't have wanted to watch us last year anyways. As for Pulis, Bruce and Hughton teams, they play some god awful stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Speaks volumes. Tossers. To be fair I wouldn't have wanted to watch us last year anyways. As for Pulis, Bruce and Hughton teams, they play some god awful stuff. We've had some good games as well. We've been on last 8 times which is shocking, first zero times is also shocking. Why weren't we on first when we beat Arsenal (for example), or when we beat Chelsea 1-0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Just watching MOTD2 Extra on iPlayer, and the whole panel was very complimentary about Villa and the performance against Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Or even when we beat West Brom (4-3)... I think that was midweek (??) but there would still have been a MOTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Quite impressed with Jamie Redknapp yesterday, talking about Lambert's tactics. If that was Gary Neville loads of people would be saying how great he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why weren't we on first when we beat Arsenal (for example), or when we beat Chelsea 1-0? Maybe there was just something more important or exciting on those few days. Most of the time our games were god-awful, and burying them was a public service. Try as I might, I can't get annoyed about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) the 2-2 draw vs liverpool with the suarez dive would be the most likely to me other fixtures from that day - Sunderland 2 - 2 Southampton West Ham 1 - 3 Newcastle C Palace 1 - 0 Stoke Norwich 1 - 0 Hull Arsenal 2 - 0 Fulham Man City 4 - 2 Cardiff thats pretty shocking if we werent on 1st Edited September 14, 2014 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It's still a toss-up between us and Man City though. There were more goals in that game, and they were closer to the top, if not at the top, than Liverpool were at that point. I agree our fixture was more interesting than any of the other options that days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 i think folk just hate on Jamie because they are jealous. Pretty boy, was a very good footballer (imo), pop star wife, successful career,probably still weighs the same as he did in his playing days, looks smashing in a suit, I like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest injustices I have ever seen ( I hate Chelsea ) Andres Iniesta's spectacular strike deep into stoppage time wrecked Chelsea's dreams of a second successive Champions League final against Manchester United amid chaotic scenes at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea looked to have kept Barcelona at bay and sealed an all-Premier League clash in Rome on a night of nerve-jangling tension after Michael Essien's 20-yard blockbuster in the ninth minute. But with Guus Hiddink's side hanging on - and fuelled by a sense of injustice after referee Tom Ovrebo rejected a succession of penalty appeals - Iniesta beat Petr Cech from the edge of the area to send Barcelona into the final on away goals.

Yeah I think that's the one, it was either that or the one before which was frisk, it certainly wasn't the one when Chelsea went through despite carvalho fouling valdes on the winning goal, but that one has been conveniently forgotten because you know, UEFAlona and all that he had teary eyes, and his voice was going, it was ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 There's the one guy on Football Weekley who seems incredibly dismissive of us. Saying our luck will run out as we've only had 6 shots on target. The same guy tipped us for relegation and seems to think we can't do this if we got injuries after winning at Anfield without our best 2 players. Plus the bird does my head in to, she seems to speak very middle class about football, almost hippyish. I might stop listening soon, which is disappointing as I've listened for so long.

'The bird' is Amy Lawrence, I think she's definitely one of the better journos out there. It was Sean Ingle who was saying that we could well finish between 12th and 15th and to be honest I agree with him. We've done brilliantly so far this season but I'd still be happy getting a decent mid table finish considering we've been outspent by nearly every team in the league.

The same guy tipped us for relegation earlier in the season, compleatly dismissed us because of one stat. I'm certainly no fan of Amy Lawence. I think it's getting stale.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I agree. I stopped listening a while back. They used to spend a lot more time traveling around the leagues, it has turned into the podcast version of sky sports. Football ramble. Forget the rest.

Love a bit of Ramble, but even they're not averse to the odd back-handed compliment towards Villa. Seems irrelevant now but I remember Luke's comment about Hoolahan's celebration really getting on my nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
