Opposition fans' comments: Villa v Forest

HBB

Jack Burkitt
HBB says: Generally a decent bunch of fans I found. Not the most active posters and they had more to say abut their (self perceived) brilliance than about us. There were some definite nerves at 3-2 but once the fourth went in they calmed down They weren't great fans of the ref and for the last 15 mins or so were more interested in the Utd result than the events at Villa Park.

We are playing one of them games, untouchable.

Bizarre refereeing so far. Forest are v physical in the centre of the pitch

Keep doing what we have been and this will be one of the easiest 3 points of the season.

Gibbs-White is irritating af

(2-0) Doug, Doug, he smash them thugs. That girlfriend of his must have had a night off the pole.

(3-0) This lot are shit, but good to see people looking more themselves. Hope it's not just another Sheffield United.

(3-1) Totally underserved. Bastards

Shocking that. Completely dominated and let them back into it from absolutely nothing

Fking hell how on earth have we conceded. Game was done

Dominated the first half and deserve the two goal lead. One more goal should crush any spirit they have left!

(3-2) And the collapse begins...

Can we offer Forest a draw now?

Thank goodness Bailey. 4-2

Need another couple for me to relax now!

That 4th goal was HUGE. Made it a game spiralling out of control to knocking the stuffing out of Forest and allowing us to see things out.

Job done and pretty good for the most part. Conceding the two goals at pretty awful times was a pain in the arse but Emery doesn't do panic and I felt pretty comfortable for the last half hour

Would have been a travesty if Forest got anything out of that given they only caused us any trouble for 5 minutes either side of HT.

Was worried for a moment there when goals 1 and 2 came across with somewhat ease for Forest, but then we scored our 4th and it was all smooth sailing from there.

Thought we were going to absolutely blitz them after the first 30 minutes or so. Slight wobble before and after half time but overall still comfortable.

Fair comments, I always find Villa fans decent and like them as a club. They have had an amazing season so far. I’d love it if they got a top 4 spot. We never looked like getting anything today to be honest.

Fair comments. They were in cruise control in the first half so can’t disagree with any of that.

Thanks for your efforts HBB 👍🏼

Have to be honest, I had no idea they were so high in the table. Now well clear in fourth place! Amazing. No wonder their fans were pretty complacent, I would be swinging from the chanelier if we were up there, They must feel like we did in the promotion season - totally surprised.

Pretty fair and in the circumstances remarkably restrained comments.

The only knobend at villa was doug ellis, with whom i had a barney when steve stone scored in a 1-1 draw and I was a corporate guest and we got to sit in the Directors' Box.

I know a lot of Villa fans and they are, on the whole, a decent bunch. Remember most of them being extremely happy for us when we went up.

It's funny how one city can produce such contrasting fan-bases as the same cannot be said for Birmingham City!
