stealthpapesFrom Despair To Where? Thing is, Yann was right, we marked Woods out of the game and they offered nothing. For all Monk's talk of a good second half and nobody begrudging them a point, I don't remember them creating anything. They pressurised us but absolutely no end product.
Watching the football league show, it was interesting to hear Neil Redfern come out with the "Liam Cooper's not that sort of player" defence. In fairness to George Reilly, who is a Leeds fan himself, he did come back with "Surely making that sort of challenge does kind of make you that sort of player"
yeah, he was straight in with that, a nice touch.

Only because it was Liam Cooper who they don't even rate. If it was Pontus Janssen I can guarantee it would be a completely different story.

Did you see it? I don't think the player's identity had any bearing on Reilly's comment. Redfern was trying to make excuses but Reilly's tone was very much "no justification, that's inexcuseable".
The whistle had gone for an earlier foul a good couple of seconds before the stamp which is probably why the officials missed it.

From Despair To Where? Yeah, but when you make a judgement in reference to a clip you haven't seen it does leave you open to looking a bit of a twat.

tidus_mi2 If history made clubs big, Leeds wouldn't even be one of the biggest in England, their history consists of a few good years in the 70s and then an unexpected title win in the early 90s. Of course by comparison to ourselves it is much better but looking at recent history, we've certainly had the better of it.
They certainly are a club who harp on about their past glories, definitely always hear about the almosts, runners up to Bayern, semi-final to Valencia.

Lot of challenges bottled today and we struggled to hold the ball up. Coward doukara did very well when he came on. Bit frustrating with the goal but they had plenty of chances. On to Brentford.
We were second best, so lets hope we react in the right manner. Still everything to play for.

Just deluded. No grasp on reality whatsoever.

Today we were the better side, we played the better football and we made the better chances

Reading added to the frustration, as did the referee. If Reading go up this season, they should come with a note of apology - this was as negative a side as I've seen in a long time (and I watch us) they were time wasting after 23 minutes at a point in the game where they weren't winning. I don't think I've seen that before - when they got their penalty with 11 minutes to go, I did worry there might not be long enough left for them to take it. Defensively their tactic seemed to be to grab hold of a Villa striker, wrap your arms around him and hold on for dear life until the ball went away - they did that all game. Throw in's took forever, goal kicks involved impromptu drinks breaks, there were conversations over free kicks, ours and theirs - it was incredible an incredibly negative, anti-football that ruined the game as a spectacle - although it did help them win, so I guess they'll be happy enough. Personally I hope they don't go up. Ever.
All of this basically. I've heard a few people say jaap stam is the kind of manager we should go for! Hahahahaha. If that is how you want our villa to play then so be it. Reading were an absolute joke today. And like you, I don't want them to go up purely based on today! It was everything football shouldn't be.
I'm not not able to accept the total nonsense that "Reading are a good side". We're Aston Villa ffs. We deserve better.
Reading were anti-football
They were amazingly open today- if they get promoted and if they play the same in the prem they would get hammered most weeks. Stam has done a great job given the budget, but for this side to be 4th shows how poor this league is.
