Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Apparently there is an exactly appropriate level of reaction to each type of victory, the context of it and the size of the club. Nothing can just be a case of getting carried away in the moment, it has to be 'embarrassing' or 'small-time'. It's nonsense. We invaded the pitch after Sammy Ameobi scored in a pre-season friendly Its about context and what’s at stake as to whether a pitch invasion is or should be a legitimate response to what’s went before during the match. Mostly it’s a sheep mentality, a few do it, then a few more follow, then the rest follow. Mostly for follows on twitter... or likes on facebook. Invading a pitch for winning a play-off two legged semi is kind of nonesense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We invaded the pitch after Sammy Ameobi scored in a pre-season friendly Well I would agrue that there is a approiate level of celebration given the context of the victory and the size of the clubs involved. Imagine if we celebrated beating Luton in the FA cup third round like we just won the league for example. Very embarrassing and inapproiate. The Sammy thing is different as that was a blatant piss take. Villa are still a big club too and the standard have to be higher than that for them. They should be celebrating finishing 1st not qualifying for a once of game for a shot at going up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I don't think there's a lot of difference between us celebrating the title at Plymouth on the pitch and them celebrating reaching the play-off final. While we'd won something, there was actually less on the line considering the real target of promotion had already long been sealed. The play-offs are intense, and getting through a tight game in them to reach Wembley is a big release of emotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The play-offs are intense, and getting through a tight game in them to reach Wembley is a big release of emotion. We’ll just have to agree to disagree then. My personal belief is that if you are a big club bigger standards come with that and as a fan you should be proud of those higher standards and only celebrate having those standards achieved. For Villa promotion has got to be the absolute minimum. Not qualifying for simply the chance to go up in a once off game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 It wasn’t a proper pitch job, just a load of stone islanders getting their fix to touch racist JT. Villa lose the playoffs and they’re going to be haemorrhaging money again. Could be absewlewtly delicious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I dislike Villa as much as the next bloke, but after watching this yesterday I wanted Boro to get humped. No doubt the little pleb will have an Arsenal Fan TV worthy video up tonight. Also I apologise for the none NE folk who won't understand a fucking word that bloke says.

The College Dropout Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 If Villa stay down and we get 40 points, we'll overtake them in the all-time PL points list. City will overtake us both though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Marseille's best player by a mile, never mind Payet. Also as an aside whenever I see Lucas Ocampos play I can just imagine him in the Premier League, particularly under someone like Rafa. Does his defensive work very well and is strong & combative for a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
