Aston Villa 0 - 0 Newcastle United - 23/08/14 - Post-match reaction from page 36

.com isn't what it was though.

 

It almost feels like they've settled for what we've become.

[Cronky]

Good opportunities I remember...

 

Cabella wide

Janmaat header (not counting his left foot shot)

De Jong shot

Williamson air shot

 

They were the only clearcut chances I remember, what they classing as the other two?

 

 

Riviere's "shot" and the volley Ayoze blazed over.

 

and Gouffy at the far post in the first half.

incredibly positive match summary on .com like, apparently we created 6 good opportunities and only lack a finisher

 

Was going to post this. Apparently dominated the game.

 

Didn't reflect what I watched at all tbh

We created the more clear cut chances, but it was an awful game. Pardew sides are so static its insane. They are either coached to play like this or are too scared to wonder out of position in case we are hit by the counter attack. Either way its absolutely tragic to watch.

We were the slightly better of two teams who could finish anywhere between 8th & 16th. Nothing to write home about.

Considering Villa are a lot of people's tip for relegation the fact we couldn't beat them is very worrying imo. They've got Benteke to come back as well.

completely agree, not many are factoring in just how poor a side villa are

They are playing to their clientle -lots of fans have too.

To be honest I'm not even sure I can be bothered to go out of my way to watch the matches with these kind of displays. It's just a continuation from last season, dull as.

[midds]

We had the better of it I think but certainly not enough to win. To have a hope of winning you've got to score and the only gilt-edged chance was the De Jong one at the end. Even then it was a regulation save for Guzman, it was blasted straight at him. The inherent problems running through the team that were present from January are still there and we're still showing the relegation form we've had for the last 20 games, it's not a blip or a bad run, and it's not going to get much better.

Just keep thinking about this performance and a part of me dies every time. So goddamn uninspiring.

 

I've found it amazingly easy to forget.

[Rob W]

Two pretty average teams TBH

 

No-one on our side looked as if they could hit a barn door - we showed some decent  passing touches mind

 

They need to learn that banging long high balls into a defence that has shown in the first 15 minutes that they have it under control is a waste of time

 

 

Sisoko was always a handful but Villa  hardly played for a win - if you are going to play counter attacking football you need pace and decent balls over the top - they had neither TBH

 

I counted a total of three saves from BOTh 'keepers

 

The ref had a bad game - he got a lot wrong for both teams but Wiliamson should have had a straight red for that tackle late in the game - it was a real horror.

 

I've been to Villa a lot over the years to see us play but it was eerie yesterday - sitting high up in the  Trinity Road stand there were thousands of empty seats behind us and there were large gaps even in the Holte End - never seen that in 40 years

 

Fair play tho - they all rose for the 17 minute tribute  - not something you'd have seen at some other places I can think of

 

 

[Ash]

I was out yesterday afternoon so didn't see any of the match. Didn't even remember we were playing until I checked the score for the first time in the 58th minute.

What a depressing day yesterday was,

 

Ignoring the match because thats been covered but it looked to me in the pub before the match that our young away followers are getting worse.

 

Went in the Witton, went for a piss and there was 6 of them in a queue for the cubicle in the toilet...snorting away they were, obvious to see and bloody hear.

 

Then there they were outside in the beer marquee thing chucking their pints everywhere and generally behaving like fucking idiots.

 

I love a good craic at the away games as much as any but these lot really let us down, it's been like this the last couple of seasons now, getting progressively worse. Luckily where I was stood in the ground the atmosphere was alright and with some decent lads.

 

Can see why people are put off following us away...and why other fans think we're a bunch of twats.

[Greg]

Missed the game and Match of the Day, just watched Goals on Sunday, our game got 30 seconds, was it really that bad?

Noticed our fans have been getting worse like.  Wonder if it's related to the wider driving down of standards at the club, if you don't have a club you can be proud of any more why care about the impression you make while following it.

Possibly. It only seems to be the young'uns that act like tossers though, don't get me wrong i've seen some older folk piss about but by and large its the younger lads. Probably a by product of society in general at the moment I suppose.

 

Problem is you cant have a word with them at the match about it otherwise its all 'We're here to support the club, fuck off if you don't like it etc etc', thing is with most of them they're so fucked up before the match they either don;t see any of it or end up getting chucked out anyway

There was a group on the train back yesterday who were making idiots of themselves as well. Fair enough they're pissed and having a sing, but the carriage was full of people and their language was appalling. The ring leader was this fat older guy in a guy who started shouting obscenities at the conductor and shouting lewd comments to a woman in the carriage. Really sad individuals.

[Danh1]

Our support has been poor in some ways for a while. The same shit songs sang at 200 mph. "Insert name" is a shithole, your support os fucking shit, shall we sing a song for you.....yawwwwn.

[maybe_next_year]

I find generally the London away games seem to be better for that, but the ones nearer seem to bring out all the troglodytes within our support.

[NUFCDoog]

It's really annoying, i dread to think the image they give our club. Stuff like pissing about on the train, theres some people there that will see that and assume thats how Newcastle fans are, I know it doesnt mean a lot in the grand scheme of things but im proud of our club and area and it actually bothers me that people would think of us all like that.

 

I as much as the next lad, love going to the pub on an away day and chanting for a couple of hours, theres nothing better, however when you get the tossers chucking beer everywhere, doing coke in the toilets and at one point, fucking moshing like they're at a metallica gig its embarrasing.

 

Last season couple of lads got in such a state they didnt even make it out the pub, being sick everywhere and ended up passed out. Yeah away days and football in general are a good excuse for a day on the piss with the lads, but know your limits and don't let the club down.

 

It'll be more of the same at Gillingham on Tuesday no doubt, cup games bring a lot of twats out, dreading it. Hopefully Southampton is better.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Are they all proper Green Street twats that need a good clip? The problem seems to be that there are a fair few mongs that are older that groom them rather than discourage them. They'd stop with age otherwise, imo.

This has been one of the reasons why i've reduced the number of away games i go to, some of our fans are tragic.  It does in the most part seem to be kids who act like utter tossers, last time i got one of the busses down it was packed with them.  24 cans for a 4 hour bus trip, wey aye.
