League games only

With him W16 D7 L8
Without   W8 D3 L2
So without Terry we would have been top of the table.

The number 26 OUT!

Good interview between JT and Jim White on talksport right now. Loving life at Villa right now, thinks the away support is just incredible, feels really welcomed by everyone in the city.

The interview is on the Talksport website now. You can listen to it and/or read it.

The very intentional pass to set up Grabban's goal was just superb

Too right.  Shows the calibre of the player - almost everyone else on the pitch would've panicked in that situation but he just controlled it with one foot and played a perfect pass with the other, all in the fraction of a second.  It's why he was world class for so long.

Remember though - we'd be top of the table without Terry allegedly...

Not sure if that's tongue in cheek but the sole reason for dropping points yesterday was Neil fucking Taylor. If I never see him in a Villa kit again it'll be too soon.

He's rubbish isn't he?  A brief look at Swansea fans' comments when we got him was enough to be warned what a poor player we were getting.  I can think of no worse criticism when I say that he's almost as bad as Cissokho.  It's scarcely believable that a 33 year old Alan Hutton playing out of position is at least twice as good as him.  It seemed to me at the Ipswich game that even when he was in acres of space, that the midfield would all actively avoid passing to him.

Just seen the goal from yesterday, granted I’m no fan of his but I was expecting something more than the ball bobbling a few inches sideways for the pass after the comments here!

If only if what he did in the moment was that simple. We get it Chris you don’t like him.

I just think the injuries he has had this season might factor in to his decision to be honest.  If (and it is a massive if) we win the play offs, he might decide that would be a good point to call it a day.

In all honesty I think it's somewhere in the middle.  What he did is what I'd expect from most players (and certainly any defender) in that position but far too often you see players get a rush of blood and try to lash it into the top corner instead of playing the lay off for a tap in.

Is it that obvious?! Seriously though, it underwhelmed me when I saw it.
