howay forest. fuck the sex pistols and the clash, I'll always remember how happy I was in '77 that mull of kintyre spent half me life at number 1 in the charts.

in fairness those 70.6% are probably the very same people who were shouting for howe to be sacked on twitter yesterday. far too early to judge the lad yet, but its reasonable to say he wasn't great yesterday.

I think in the run of 3 away games against a west ham team fighting relegation, (who were the better side for large parts of the game at sjp and fully deserved a draw) a european chasing team at brentford and an aston villa side very much on a run an no doubt motivated to beat a club above them, then I probably would've took 5 points if offered beforehand. we got 6 and therefore I can't really be overly disappointed. other than with yesterday's performance, which was fucking woeful. I'd also add that I thought pope looked like he's still suffering from a lack of confidence since the liverpool debacle anywhere outside the six yard box. I always thought yesterday's game was the one we were mostly likely to lose, no matter what any mathematical analysis, pie charts or graphs suggested otherwise. and so it proved to be. we were well and truly humped by a team apparently fortunate to be in their current position on the back of only having played shit clubs recently! said last week I think on the 'other games' thread that villa looked a decent bet at 11/1 to finish top 6 and I'd have a tenner on it. never got round to it.... they're 5/2 now.

howay forest. never, ever had a bad word to say about the good folk of nottingham or the breakaway UDM during the miner's strike me.

the bleatings of a condemned man.

I went on a 7 game unbeaten run and was mercilessly cast aside. you're fooling only yourself if you think knives aren't being sharpened.

you fucked up as thread starter, no amount of fiddling with figures will alter that. there's a coup afoot to overthrow you.

I've not seen it, but I'm gonna hazard a guess it's the exact opposite to the over confidence displayed by some in dismissing emery's villa as a team that's only beaten shite prior to the match? I mean it's fair to say we were awful today, but villa were very, very good, it was never gonna be an easy game.

fucking abysmal. second best all over the pitch. very lucky it was only 3. sack gemmill.

https://www.villatalk.com/topic/24016-pre-match-thread-cup-final-3-of-10/#comments a read of the match day thread on their forum is predominantly over confidence, some more cautious and fair smattering of comments from 'benny' halfwits like the one below. would like to think we'll give them a hiding but I also think writing off their chances on the basis they're only beating shit teams is a little over optimistic. there's no doubt emery is doing a good job there, he took over a team in the shit under gerrard and has turned it round. he may have started from a higher base than us with bruce/howe but it's still a reasonable reflection of what happened here with a proper coach In charge. its actually a compliment to our owners that they had emery so high on their list of replacements for bruce, even if as it turns out he lacked the bollocks to take the job! disappointed not to see @The Fish over there fighting the good cause! anyway.....

what rio ferdinand needs is a fucking damn good hiding, the fucking repulsive halfwit. never forget....

sat outside the van in a sunny brecon beacons, about to tune in to radio newcastle. last match I listened to on the radio was against a london team and we won 1-4.... howay the lads!

makes my fucking flesh crawl, the plug faced cunt.

i remember clearly the 8-1 in the mid 80s when peter beardsley ended up in goal, fucking depressing it was. the 'battering' they gave us last night though.... i'm finding it a lot easier to deal with!

tremendous!

there's not much sense to take leave of in the first place, but whatever might've been there has now completely disappeared.

I'm starting to wonder if he actually scored now.

now you mention it, it does appear to be on the t in trophyshy's first photo I quoted. look at the subsequent photos though and it's gone. something sinister going on here.

a quick look over on the cesspit of rtg and poor staff member keith s30s appears to have got himself in a right little tizzy last night. match threads moved to parsnip and then later still merged with the sportswashing thread. numerous banning, references to mass choppings up (?) bless his little cotton socks! anyway, couple of my favourites, eddie's getting hounded out next season, bookmark this. ok mate will do they think we're jealous of them no, we know you are.

several casper the ghost's there though.

shame you can't see the ball in that photo, but nonetheless, tremendous! the lad is gonna be a legend here.

cool as fuck, stood there watching it go in with his hands on his hips! just about to find motd on iplayer, think I might watch it a few times meself!

im on a four game winning streak, somebody needs to sort me a ticket for this as a matter of urgency!

aye!
