Villa 3-1 Hull; Survival


Aston Villa 3-1 Hull All Goals & Highlights 03… by All_Goals

Well, I can’t say it was a classic game, as it was filled with the usual errors and poor passing.
Hull never really looked up for it in the first half, certainly not as much as I thought they would, anyway, but it doesn’t really matter.
At the end of the day we got the all-important 3 points that ensured our survival in the Premier league for another season. Which is about all it will be if things don’t change.
We should make no mistake about this. While Hull were pretty poor, we weren’t much better, especially in the middle of the first half, where we were desperately poor.

Not that it’s a day where I really want to concentrate on the bad side of things.
We also played some decent stuff at times and that coupled with the fact that we had a few chances and actually scored three goals at home, made things really pleasing overall; at least enough to make me think I hadn’t totally wasted my money anyway.

I won’t talk about Hull’s goal, save to say I was absolutely fuming.
But it wasn’t enough to dampen the atmosphere, especially when we got the third, which combined with most other results going our way, meant it was party time.

The devil in me says it would have been a perfect day if you know who had been relegated, but the Brummie/midlander in me says I’m somewhat glad they weren’t.

So we go again next season then.
Hopefully with the club having been cleared out from top to bottom.

  1. Well done lads…We will NOT be relegated. I dont think there should be any negativity tonight. Hull goal was clearly offside.

  2. BTW…nice to see Bowery getting a good run out. I thought he did really well and the cross for Weimans second was spot on!

      Bowery was very good for us today. The fans were MOTM. Now fingers crossed there are wholesale changes at the villa this summer

    Was it really Langford?
    I never saw that and was just fuming about how we got caught out so easily.
    That makes me feel a little better and you’re right. It’s about celebrating our survival today.
    Which is why I’m out on the lash later.

    This doen’t change much though.
    We need major change.

  4. Yes, definetely…saw 4 replays showing Rosenior clearly offside!

  5. RELIEVED. 😀

  6. Relieved… 🙂 and pissed 🙂

    1. LOL 😉 TOO RIGHT.

  7. and NOT relegated 🙂

  8. Randy Lerner disgusts me avatar
    Randy Lerner disgusts me

    Now our safety has been confirmed, I see no reason what so ever for Lerner not to announce his “plans” for the club earlier than the end of the season.
    Put us all out of our misery for christ sake!!!

  9. Are we allowed to play Grealish and Carruthers in the last two games? If so, would like to see both of them as well as Robinson and Donacien get some game time.

    Relieved, surprised but now the most important is hopefully to come: Lerner, Lamberk, and Faulkner out of our club once and for all.

    So Lambert wasn’t part of the walk of honour around Villa Park and claims he’s still in the dark with Lerner over what’s going on.

    “You’re asking me a question I can’t give an answer to and that’s me being honest.

    “The chairman will come out and say what he’s going to say and I really don’t know what he will say. His statement is what it is. I understand what has gone on in the last few weeks and I’m pretty sure people will find out soon.”

      I didn’t stay for the walk of honour.
      I don’t believe there’s been any honour this season, in the main.

  12. It looks like we will be the ones to stop Man City winning the title 🙂

      Langford, I have loved you positivity over the past few years and enjoy reading your comments but I really do hope you never have to use the “We will NOT be relegated” phrase for a long time to come. How about “we Will finish top four” !!! Has a nicer ring to it. Lets in live in hope one day. Happy that Aston Villa are still in premier league for next season but I really think we have used up all our relegation luck up and more of the same next year will see us finally relegated. Even Wigans ran out eventually.

      1. Tekkers lol mate…lets see what the new owners bring to the club….would love to be able to use the ‘top four’ phrase. You never know mate. I hopeI can consign the other phrase to the bin mate.

      Fuckin hope not thou wouldn’t surprise me city loads of injuries and very nervy plus shit against shit teams like us. More likely to beat arsenal at home than us tbf

    That really wouldn’t surprise me Langford.

    I take back my comments about us getting battered, although we lost our way for about 20mins, we did do a good job and I thought Bowery had a great game, but Deph & Westwood play better when El Ermady is not there.

    Now looking forward to the takeover and the bright future………oh yes and about to get rat arsed!!!

    1. Tekkers48 avatar
      Tekkers48

      If a takeover is in place and based on survival Lerner could and should announce it now. Anything else and he will wait till season is over. I still think whatever is happening it will not be a takeover or at least not the type we are all hoping for. Seeing is believing !!!! Tell us now Mr Lerner !!!!!!

    2. VTID…agree with you about Bowery I thought he done exceptionally well given that he’s had hardly any game time. I think he is certain to start on Tuesday at Maine Road.

      1. joty avatar

        ..and Lambert got it right with his sub. In taking Gabby off I thought that Bowery wouldn´t be the right choice. But he played really well. It was a brave decision, although after his own goal my doubts were growing. He wins quite a lot of headers, is very mobile and has good skills. He was hammerd as a flop from many people but we should wait and see.
        Weimann was clearly Motm, obviously he enjoyed his new role.
        And we have to thank Gabby. Only staying on the pitch for a few minutes but created the first goal with a great run. Great relief!

  15. Shame the SCUM didn’t get relegated that would of rounded off the day nicely.

    1. Giddy as long as they are one division below us I couldnt give a fuck!

      1. Two’s even better mate.

  16. Anybody want to guess why oohah not on here this evening 🙂

      I’m am here been watching city game and sorting tea out if that’s ok with you Langford. Iv posted earlier if u can be arsed to look

        And you were wrong about City losing 2-0. 😉

          Did I say that lol

          1. Andrew avatar
            Andrew

            You did. You also said they’d easily down City and you wanted Liverpool to win the league after like 3 games.

      2. What do you mean making tea?… a ‘very little’ part of me wanted us to get relegated just to put a bit of happiness in your life……never mind mate, maybe next season 🙂

          I didn’t want us to go down but we may as well have done if the three stooges are still here

    Relief certainly seems to be the main emotion of the day. Though it was interesting to see Lambert not appearing on the lap of honour (or should we say lap of shame) and walking straight down the tunnel without acknowleging the fans. I certainly hope it’s a sign the new owners have told him he’s not wanted.
    Murat Yakin for the job!

    1. OohAhPaulMcGrath avatar
      OohAhPaulMcGrath

      Probably bottled it in case fans suddenly realised he’s still our manager

    2. COE1982 avatar

          Anyone else glad we didn’t get OGS. What a disaster that would of been. Worse than lamberk ffs

          1. Andrew avatar
            Andrew

            Definitely. I’d have expected a lot more out of him that what he did there, seems clueless. Do wonder if Tan will keep him. Dæhli looks a decent prospect though.

            1. OohAhPaulMcGrath avatar
              OohAhPaulMcGrath

              Agreed. They should of stuck with mackay were averaging a point more per game under him plus they were 16th. Tan probably got a reference of fergie though!!

    I would like to say a big congrats to Bowery because what he did for 75 mins was more than Gabby has done in 75 games . Now let’s get rid of the big time I think I’m good Charlie’s and kick on next season with a new owner , new manager and better players UTV .

    Did anyone else listen to Graham Taylor on WM. He was asked his thoughts on Villa and if he would take on a DOF role. He reacted strongly saying he was not in a position to air his views as yet but he did have very strong ones about what has been happening at Villa Park. He followed this up saying he would take the job of DOF if his duties were made clear, and he would only take on the job if the board were clear that the club would be pushing on for a top 6 finish every season. He said the club was a massive one and that we should be expecting no less.

    1. mike avatar

      So now we are safe . Who should leave and who should we buy player wise ?

      1. Morgan Villa avatar
        Morgan Villa

        I think this is down to how the club want to move forward and what style of play we put in place. I like Lowton, Westwood, Vlaar, Bertrand, Guzan, i would keep Delph, Albrighton, Okore, Bowery, Benteke Wiemann, Gabby. I would like to see Caulker, Ings, Nzonzi, and a marquee signing

        1. Gabby??he’s a 3 or maybe 4 match wonder each season.nah not for me.

          1. Morgan Villa avatar
            Morgan Villa

            I have mixed feelings about Gabby, but his pace really puts opposing defences on the back foot. I think he would be a good squad player who can be used against teams who struggle with pace or in away matches. On his day he is effective but players will not be effective every game against every team, we need more depth in our squad to be able to push on

    2. OohAhPaulMcGrath avatar
      OohAhPaulMcGrath

      Fuck me is Taylor really the best we can do the game moved on to much for him when he managed us for a second time. No thanks let’s get top foreign dof and managers not the same old same old.

      1. Morgan Villa avatar
        Morgan Villa

        I think his views on what has been happening at the club would be interesting. I dont think he would be asked to have a role at the club.

  20. That’s the sort of statement I’d like to hear from a chairman & most of all stick by it.

    Thank fuck that’s over it had it’s highs this season but to many lows for me.Not good enough from chairman down to players sham loud season.Lambert has openly said we need to spend big on experienced quality and I think it was the right thing to do to call out Randy Fuckin Pandy xxxx carnt hide now can he.Lets hope nobody renews their season ticket before Villa have spent 40 mill at least…..UTV

      A lot of people on fb are behind lamberk now he has won a game. That says it all jaydee. As for experience I can tell u he had first dabs at Barry and the money was there but lamberk told his agent to do one

        Yesterday was down to Cowans and Given imo, we were set up a lot better then in other games. The fans should imo be asking for Cowans to be promoted up to a first team coach

      3. Ohah….stop making shit up…very few people on here have supported Lambert. Your making shit up like a child in a school playground. Your losing credibility with made up shit…thats if you had any credibility in the first place!

    VTID – UTV – PAUL LAMBERTS CLARET BLUE ARMY – DUDUDUDUDUDUDU ANDI WEIMANN – WE ARE STAYING UP SAY WE ARE STAYING UP

      Lambert should be sacked it was clear yesterday he is leaving, he was looking around the ground a lot as i f giving it one last look. He also walked off at the end i just felt it was the last time he would manage us at VP.

      I personally feel he would do well at a Forest, Sheffield Wednesday or a Leeds he would bring them back to the Prem and probably stabilize and under achieving Championship team as a Premiership regular. He is not a manager for a team like Villa or any other established premier league side

    While I was out on the lash last night, I met a friend who knows an ex player who still has contacts at the club.
    The word is apparently that there is talk of a 180 million takeover.
    I’m not sure I believe it myself, just passing on what was said.

    1. #HELENIUS avatar
      #HELENIUS

      Who’s the ex player??

      1. Badger123 avatar
        Badger123

        Would you seriously expect me to name him?
        I will say he played for us ages ago.

        1. Alan Deakin the?

          1. Badger123 avatar
            Badger123

            No, not seen him for years Langford.
            The player in question is way more recent than that.
            I’m not going to say who it is, as if the info is bollocks, it would only make him look a mug.
            I will say my friend isn’t the sort to make stuff up.
