Aston Villa v Bristol City - Match Thread - Sat 13th April, 3pm

[Thomas Holte]

Platt was a very good player who I enjoyed watching at the Villa.

However, he started to believe his own hype and became rather a big-head and I agree the term "smug" does suit him.

 

[sirdennis]

Not too fussed about comparisons.

I think we should celebrate both for the contribution they made/are making to our great club.

 

[ASPINALL]

Platty came back with Arsenal, scored and did not celebrate.

I love him - he was a FANTASTIC player for us.

Anyone could look good in the midfield that contained Sid

It almost felt like it would be another of those weekend's for Aston Villa, Tyrone Mings was suspended for Bristol City and talisman Jack Grealish was ruled out ahead of the game with an illness.

Aston Villa welcomed fellow Play-Off promotion hopefuls Bristol City to Villa Park on Saturday but the only aim was to take all three points and make it eight wins on the spin for the first time since April 1975.

Yeah - Sid even made Dennis Mortimer look good ???

Aston Villa took a fully deserved victory over Bristol City last weekend as we welcomed them to Villa Park on Saturday and stole a march over their own Play-Off aspirations for the campaign of 2018/19.

#hunty is deluded

 

[garygaryshaw]

By the sounds of it Bristol City fans think he's the weak link in their team too. If you only have 1 shot on target in 90 minutes you probably dont deserve to get anything out of a game

 

[sirdennis]

That excuse is up their with their manager moaning about where their fans were sitting.

This feels like an appropriate thread.

Bristol City fans anger at £7 'rip-off' Easter egg in club shop
A football club shop has been criticised for rebranding a £1 Easter egg and selling it for £7.

Bristol Sport, based at the Ashton Gate football stadium, is selling Cadbury eggs with Bristol City, Bristol Bears or Bristol Flyers cardboard covers on.

Definitely something in the water - but I don't for a second think they are alone.

 

[Fulford]

If there was an award for the most pathetic club of the season, they would win it hands down.

 

[gmvillan]

Last year their angry-midget manager had a melt down as he realized they weren’t good enough. This year he’s left it to the players...

 

[mike_field]

It's turning into a bad day for them.

Quite rightly so - they way they basically assaulted the referee was a total disgrace. I was sure one of them would be sent off. Outrageous.

 

[South Side Villan]

If there was an award for the most pathetic club of the season, they would win it hands down.

Scummy club, scummy manager, just a bunch of bitter moaning twats, Bristol Rovers are the one of two Bristols with the class, every time I see or hear about Bristol City I think of the word cretins.

 

[northamptonvillan]

In an ideal world, I would love to give them a chance to put things right at Wembley.

 

[JW1985]

Despite him being a tosser of the highest order Johnson is actually doing a decent job for them, considering their resources and the fact that they lose whoever their star player is every summer.

He'll never make it at the top level though as he seems to have a total meltdown whenever they lose. It's not a bad thing to hate losing but this is twice we've beaten them in a crunch match and twice he's been whinging about ridiculous things. As for this Hunt idiot, El Ghazi had him on toast all afternoon. If I were him I'd be keeping a low profile out of embarrassment.

And the Birmingham Fail with a headline describing it as a “controversial win”. Somebody needs to get rid of that fake news rag.
