StefanAVFC Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 You should have given up. Nah, I was thirsty. Fans did piss me off today though. Felt bad for standing up and chanting in my ST seat because of people I haven't seen all season looking at me funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Full house, tv cameras. So typical of villa to choke on the big occasion. Doesn't bode well for the other tv games - Sunderland Utd Chelsea Wigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Should've been out of sight after the first half with those chances, but for our endemic lack of composure. Then again, that's our second half syndrome, too, just at the opposite end (Brad excluded). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 We have such an appalling home record against Liverpool Utd and arsenal . It's like 1 win in 42 attempts over a 15 year span. That is just a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt bad for standing up and chanting in my ST seat because of people I haven't seen all season looking at me funny. It was a strange atmosphere wasn't it? The QPR one was fantastic, but I guess the lost hour and the early start had an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 We have such an appalling home record against Liverpool Utd and arsenal . It's like 1 win in 42 attempts over a 15 year span. That is just a joke. Its to do with the whole mentality at the club CI which needs to change. We seem to be continually in awe of the teams you mention and our results against them reflect that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutherland Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 There was prob 6-7k dippers in the home ends after it went down to gen sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Yes there were loads in the Trinity and The Holte this didn't help the atmosphere but at least they were discreet unlike those cockney reds.

OutByEaster? Posted April 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 1, 2013 Six or seven thousand! Rubbish. That would mean 1 in 5 supporters in the home areas were Liverpool fans. There were probably a few hundred scattered throughout the home areas - there always are, but those numbers are crackers. For that to be true, almost half of the tickets that were on general sale would have had to have been sold to Liverpool fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I don't know why the atmosphere was so subdued. I took two Germans with me, and I was hoping to show them a rocking Villa park. Took them to Palace on Friday (yes that game) and the crowd were great there, they have proper European style ultras with guys conducting it with their back to the action.

spiezels Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 what was up with the dippers setting off flares? who did they think they were, galatasaray?? Tbf some boys at VP did that with claret and blue flares a few seasons back when we were winning games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have a number of issues with the atmosphere at villa park but I just could not believe how shit it was on sunday, half hearted repetative same old shit being sang every 2 minutes and most of the songs directed at the blues and the scousers, forget that their was 42k in the ground, the 14k in the holte alone should of made for a great atmosphere, hardly anyone sang and just could not be arsed even though first half we dominated game, I got that fed up of the people around me with their stupid embarrasing chants I kept saying shut the **** up, were a big club with lower league song book and atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's nerves I imagine. I wasnt there on Sunday, but I've been at games in the past where we've needed a win and you feel the edginess around the ground, and the atmosphere suffers as a result. It's a shame, but it happens. It's not unique to AVFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) My brief reactions from the game: As everyone has said, great first half, poor second. Story of our season. Benteke is deadly. Bannan is too hollywood Lowton has a great eye for a delivery. His ball along the floor into Gabby for THAT chance was beautiful Baker's tackle was dreadful. He's got that in him, rash dives. Very naive. Everything else has been said. How do I feel? I'm more annoyed at other teams' results than I am at this one, they made this game seem worse. This was always one of the three "bonus" games (along with United and CHelsea) that I wasn't expecting to get anything from. It's the other 5 that we need to be picking up points in. That being said, it's still disappointing because, whilst they were the better team, I think Liverpool were there for the taking. Could quite easily have salvaged at least a point from that. Ultimately, I'll be a lot more annoyed if we lose to Stoke than I am at us losing to Liverpool. Edited April 3, 2013 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
