Live Match Discussion 2023/24

Problem MOTD has is that you can pretty much watch all the goals on YouTube way before it’s on.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

At least they showed the Neto chance he skied (and the build up)

 

[sycophantia]

MOTD are restricted to how many minutes they can show aren't they?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Only really by the length of the programme. You could show twenty minutes of each match without treading on other broadcaster toes but then the programme goes over two hours before the pontificating.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Can't really blame them for not spending much time on Bournemouth v Wolves, it's not exactly the most exciting fixture.

 

[Jack Regan]

I was shocked that they had us on before the Forest Luton game.

 

[Tony Towner]

Looking at yesterday's results I'd expect us or Brentford to be on last

 

[Tony Towner]

Villa appear to have employed Rick Wakeman as their set piece coach

 

[Hereford Wolf]

I do not like Villa looking so good……

 

[jd1981]

That point two weeks ago looks very handy

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think my brother stayed up most of the night for that West Ham performance. I wisely got some kip

 

[Wolftone]

After Bowen scored, West Ham were totally on top, Villa gave the ball away time and time again, West Ham had numerous opportunities to equalise but couldn't.
Then Villa got their third (good finish) against the run of play and that was game over.
Ive seen one or two villa fans saying how 'brilliant' they were, they really weren't. Just everything they did worked, another day they could have lost.

I view Villa with immense indifference unless we are playing them

 

[jd1981]

Villa as a club, manager, players etc no problems.
Fanbase is the most arrogant and self entitled that you’ll ever come across.
The phoney rivalry was build up from 2017 when we were clearly better than them and it stayed that way until Emery arrived.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And the point is it was phoney. I despise the shit and the zulus. Villa are arrogant (hence B6 massive) but that’s about the limit of it.

 

[Tony Towner]

As said before it depends where and when you grew up. I hate Villa more than Albion and Blues even though we rarely played them for 30 years. Always have done, always will. It pains me to see them doing well, especially after having a little spell on top of them.

I didn’t watch it but everything I read from reports said they were completely dominant at 2-0 and West Ham got a deflected goal out of nothing. Then West Ham were better for 20 minutes until Watkins killed the game.

Yes, that about sums it up.
I didnt see the first half, the Villa penalty to put them 2-0 up was a bit soft, defender went to ground too easily.
Bowen's goal was deflected slightly.
After that Villa conceded several corners, a free kick just outside the box, all taken by JWP, which ultimately came to nothing. But there were also chances for Bowen, Kudus and Antonio.
There was a period where Villa were under pressure and gave the ball away several times, plenty of groans from the crowd.
But the third goal killed the game, good goal although I thought Zouma and the keeper could have done better positionally.

Yeah I came across many more Villa fans than Albion/Blues as a kid growing up. Wouldn't say I hate them, arrogant cunts though generally

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Most of the border territory between ourselves and Villa is occupied by the shit though.
