MATCH QUOTES

“Villa’s time wasting tactics in the last quarter of an hour were diabolical. “If I had to depend on football like that to get results, I'd rather be sweeping streets. "They used all the spoiling tactics you can think of. In the first few minutes, I heard someone shout from the trainer's bench: 'Kick for the corner flag.' "My players were upset by the persistent fouling and the referee's failure to stamp it out. "The people I feel sorry for are the Aston Villa players. They can't enjoy carrying out tactics like that. "It was hardly the sort of entertainment either, we wanted to give a crowd of 12,500 - Our biggest of the season." Bob Stokoe. "We are all professionals and professionals don't like losing. "But I really don't want to get involved in any arguments. “Quite frankly, I thought we were the better side after the first 10 minutes and deserved to win." Tommy Docherty.
