Typical - They should've lost, at least 1-0 (doubt Standard would've gotten the penalty if the goal had been given) but now because of a [Poor language removed] call from the linesman and an even shitter penalty, they'll win at home, get put in an easy group and pull in another shedload of cash that they don't deserve and widen the already sizable gap between us financially.
Games like last night's reinforce just why I despise everything to do with them, so much goes their way that wouldn't for any other club - us getting 2 sent off against them, their 'goal' against Chelsea in the CL a couple years back that didn't cross the line, the ease at which the league dealt with Mascherano's 3rd Party issues all come straight to mind and how can they not be getting in [Poor language removed] for tapping up Gareth Barry very publicly?! - Villa should sue the bastards!...
Happy that the smug smiles have been wiped off Benitez et al. for a while at least and if they're going to play like that, I'll be looking forward to derby-day.
