theboyangel Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Now people can't keep posting that daft stat about not scoring in X amount of games Ah but he's only scored once in XXX games, don't you know... tub of lard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Wonder if Norwich regret letting him go for rvw same amount of goals in less time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yeah well done Grant. I don't hold grudges! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 was a good header and delighted to hear he played well. Celebration was a bit bad though, wanted a Ginola like celebration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Well, I wasn't pleased when I saw he was starting but he proved me wrong. He looked like a competent and value for money short term replacement for Benteke and John Cusack. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Nice to see him getting the praise he deserves. Just goes to show that you should give all players a chance before blindly criticising them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alarm will go off - you'll wake up and stop dreaming - there's not a chance in hell for that to happen you know that don't you? As much chance of that happening as there is of BJ10 saying something nice about Lerner - diddly squat - but I do agree - it's a habit that's hard to break for many1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I think a lot of Villa fans are extremely hard to please when it comes to strikers. Benteke was written off and being compared to Heskey within weeks of signing, Kozak still gets a tremendous amount of shit despite showing that he's a decent player and scoring goals and Holt got a lot of nasty vitriol right up until Saturday, even though he cost peanuts, will only be here until the summer and is only playing for us because of our shit luck with injuries this season.

Risso Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Let's see how he does for the rest of the season maybe? Heskey scoring on his debut led to a lot of similarly daft "told you so" comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I was happy for Grant on Saturday given the disgusting abuse he has received from a few people (who should not be called Villa supporters), well deserved big man.

coda Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I was critical of Holt (without being abusive) because he was so poor in the matches prior to Fulham. I wouldn't have played him against Fulham so I was surprised that he gave a good account of himself. Happy to be wrong in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You're very quick to say that people aren't Villa supporters I think most people would agree that sort of vileness is reserved for opposition supporters, not for one of their own players. It is disappointing that some individuals have abused a player who is only at the club to provide short term cover, I wish to be disassociated with these people and their disgusting views.

Big_John_10 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Holt was awful in all previous games and did well against fulham. I don't remember too many showing this attitude towards McLeish after a good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are there any other rules we need to follow to be considered "real fans"? Good to see we got someone who see him self as a bit better and a righteous enough to decide whos a real fan or not.

Good to see we got someone who see him self as a bit better and a righteous enough to decide whos a real fan or not. Am I not allowed to have an opinion on the personal abuse? Maybe I should just keep quiet and accept Villa players being unjustly abused? You might accept vile behaviour like that son, but I am certainly not going to. I do not consider posters, who personally abuse their own players on non-footballing reasons, as supporters. It is totally wrong. Please keep abusive thoughts to yourself, I (and many others) don't wish to read them. Maybe, oh I don't know, you could then try to produce an objective argument instead.
