Our heroes. Do us proud boys

-
Feel bad for Kodjia but this is the right decision. Tried and trusted. A very strong bench
-

-
Albert with the first goal, I reckon. 3-1 us.
-
Pretty much what I expected.
That is a strong bench.
-
Win please Villa and win well.
-
Please win. By a lot if possible.
-
FTF
-
Sensible and strong lineup.
Be interesting to see how they approach the game with Phillips and the 2 cheating bastards.
-
Please win. By a lot if possible.
This. With bells on.
'mon Villa:let's do these buggers!
-
The 11 I would have picked for today. Put them out of sight Villa! UTV! 💪🏼
-
Team and bench exactly as I thought it would be.
Fuck The Albion!
-
Would've started Kodj but happy all our other big hitters are back. Agree we have some game turning options on the bench which looking at West Brom's 18 they don't.
-
Boarded the tumbril aka the Cross City Line train now...
Come on you Villa Boys!
Pretty, pretty please!

Roar em home my friend !!!!!!!

Big call going for Taylor over Hause but match fitness must came come into it. Harper out for them but Phillips hardly weakens them either. Should be a cracker
-
It's my weekend with my elder lad this weekend. His first ever game at VP was the Baggies 1-1 in 2012 - he was 8 years old and we sat in the Upper Holte. We still have a laugh about the angry sweary man who sat behind us... He is shitting bricks about today's game - I have an air of quiet confidence.
We're gonna fucking fuck the fucking fuckers until they're fucking fucked.
Come on you Lions!
4-0. Tammy 2, Grealish 1, McGinniesta with a 30 yard curler.
-
Although I would probably be more nervous going into the 2nd leg with a narrow win than I would with a draw or narrow defeat, I'll take any win today- but let's go for 4-1.
We can do it
-

Not really, he was never going to drop Taylor the form he’s been in.
-
Going 2 nil Villa Tammy and Jack
UP THE VILLA
-
WM seem to think Matt Phillips is playing in their middle three, got to be dominanting that area with our first choice ones out there.
-
WM seem to think Matt Phillips is playing in their middle three, got to be dominanting that area with our first choice ones out there.
Has to be - he's not going to wing back with Holgate out there. This is likely to give Grealish or SJM a bit more space in between the lines as he won't be as disciplined as a conventional central player
-
They could double up on Taylor.
-
I will be happy with any lead going into the 2nd leg. This is going to be a lot closer than many seem to think but I do fancy us to prevail over the 2 legs.
Come on you Lions!

Heart is banging

It'll give their strikers a few more bullets too.

Come you Villa boys! FUCK THE OLBIYUN!
-
Come on you magnificent bastards UTV.
-
Come on you magnificent bastards UTV.
Fuck me, it's 4am in Seattle!
-
The owners are in town too 👍🏻
-
Great Str**m on M**dro. I hope it is as good for the funeralling of Més que un Yam Sandwell.
-
I think the two wide players are vital for us today. We cant afford for them both to have a quiet game. At least one of them has to show up & make a significant contribution. Failing that it is JK off the bench.
-
They could double up on Taylor.
That's why Albert is so important, he really works hard defensively.
Come you Villa Boys! FTA!
-
Come on you magnificent bastards UTV.
Fuck me, it's 4am in Seattle!
Hold on to your seats!

Is Gareth Barry injured or suspended? Not in the starting eleven or on the bench.
-
Come on boys! Let's fucking do them.
-
Ah the giant flag worked this year.
-
heart is thumping , stomach is mixing , head has gone crazy and my knob has tingles.
COME ON VILLA................................
-
I’m lovin that flag hanging from the roof of holte
-
Need to keep their front two subdued. Gayle and Rodriguez.
-
Is Gareth Barry injured or suspended? Not in the starting eleven or on the bench.
out injured for season so he wont take a penalty
-
Come on Villa! Lets do this.
-
this ref will give jack protection I reclkon

-
what a save that was
-
World class save Steer
-
steer no mans land
-
Huge save Steer
-
shit just realised I paused sky earlier for a piss and was 60 secs behind ffs
-
Great save. Looked a goal all the way. Hope that wakes us up a bit.
-
Long ball team ay they
-
We will do these. Fuck the Albion!
-
close from Tammy
-
Great save. Looked a goal all the way. Hope that wakes us up a bit.
Thought we had started very well up to then. All came about from a mix up between Taylor and Steer earlier in the play.
Unlucky Abraham therell
-
Fuck off 0-1

-
Boollocks!
-
FUCKS SAKE!
-
Fucking hell. Calamity at the back 1-0 them
-
WTF Whelan. Bastards!
-
Shit
-
Fuck off man.
-
What the actual fuck...
-
we were doing that shit earlier on the season . NOT FUCKING NOW VILLA
-
Oh fuck. What a balls up.
-
That’s a shocker to concede.
-
Fucking terrible mistake.
-
That's fucking shit from Whelan.
-
Fucking respond Villa.
-
At least that's happened early. Lots of time to correct it. Come on Villa.
-
hope this dont give them alift cause tehy were looking shit to be fair
-
Old dog.
-
Fuck off Brunt you ******
-
Awful mistake but a super finish that.
-
Enough chances allready to be ahead and then that, they will park the bus now
-
Grealish needs to get on the ball more
-
We've fallen behind a few times and still come back to win. Come on!

Tried that but can't see where, no place to activate it either and when I try download the Now TV app, it says "Not available in your country", I'm in London...Will need to find a pub showing it at half-time.
-
Bollocks. Has anyone got a reliable link to a small river via pm?
-
You're not using a VPN are you?
-
We’re sloppy at the moment.
-
Thought we were doing fine until the goal.
Gifting it like that is going to impact particularly with WBA now playing a back 5.
Regroup at half time.
-
These fuckers are getting every single bounce of the ball so far.
-
Fuck me Whelan https://twitter.com/FourAddedMins/status/1127179655839133696
-
They're parking the bus already, the contemptible toss biscuits.
-
There’s no space at all in the middle of the park. They’ll hit us on the break. Need Grealish in the game.
-
Grealish is far far too deep and uncharacteristically sloppy.
-
I think we're playing okay, we've just not managed to carve them open. Adomah has been quiet and Not seen a lot of McGinn yet.
-
70%-30% possession so far. All strain and no shit.
-
Fuck me Whelan https://twitter.com/FourAddedMins/status/1127179655839133696
FFS
-
Good corner won there!
-
Missing Connor.
-
Don’t like Jack playing this deep.
-
They're parking the bus already, the contemptible toss biscuits.
Doesn't matter up to our players to find a way. Need a lot more from Grealish and McGinn. Only threat coming from Elmo and El Ghazi
-
That corner? What the fuck was that.
-
Piss poor.
-
Corner.
-
A little bit disjointed and lackadaisical with the corner routine. I guess when they pay off it looks world class.
-
No players stepping up so far.
-
That's better from McGinn! Go on lad.
-
I have a bad feeling about this.
-
Nowhere near good enough since that daft goal.
-
Fuck me Whelan https://twitter.com/FourAddedMins/status/1127179655839133696
It were bloody awful. Great finish by that 'orrible wee tosser, mind. ::)
-
Fuck off with your bad feelings, we've conceded a sloppy, stupid goal that's all. Plenty of time if we have the patience and quality to turn this round. We need to regroup and settle down and not get too flustered by gifting them one.
-
Lacking intensity and intent.
-
I have a bad feeling about this.
Same.
-
Gayle causing huge problems with his movement. Whelan not picking him up and Tuanzebe isn't sharp at all to his threat.
-
Plenty of time.
-
adomah having a mare
-
I think we're playing brilliantly. Really patient, constant pressure. They won't handle this all game. Come on Villa.
-
What the actual fuck
Wake up Villa or this tie is going to be over today
-
We are Villa of old, stupid passing into problems. Adoma this time
-
Sloppy again. We’ve let ourselves down so far.
-
Fucking sloppy again.
-
It's a 180 minute game, settle fucking down with panicky over the top assessments.
-
Gayle causing huge problems with his movement. Whelan not picking him up and Tuanzebe isn't sharp at all to his threat.
Gayle is a very good player at this level
-
Need to get El Ghazi running at their right back now he's booked.
-
My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all.
-
Gayle causing huge problems with his movement. Whelan not picking him up and Tuanzebe isn't sharp at all to his threat.
Gayle is a very good player at this level
We are making him look like a world beater at the moment
-
They are containing us easily and counter attacking when it breaks down. We are showing nothing.
-
This is too laboured.
-
Two or three decent crosses from AEG, and Jack's buzzing around but not much from the rest, so far.
-
We are playing into their hands at the moment. They are sitting back and then picking us off
-
tempo too slow, need a rocket up our arses
-
We're a shower of shit at the moment, no doubt. The usually mediocre players are dismal and the normally very good players are mediocre. I can't see us being this bad for 180 mins though.
-
It's tough for us because we're so far froward, our defenders are our midfielders. Not sure how you change things - perhaps deliberately draw them out by playing further back?
-
Can’t think of a single player above a 6 so far. We look overawed.
-
think kod will need coming on HT and just say make yoursself unplayable son
-
We look so nervous. Crowd need to find their voices again.
-
Yes we look way more nervous than them
-
It's a 180 minute game, settle fucking down with panicky over the top assessments.
You’re mental if you think we’re going to keep a clean sheet there so it’s essentially 0-2
-
They're marking Jack tightly and it's removed all our threat.
-
We have been really poor.
-
Its been way too easy for them so far.
We look flat
-
As usual, our poorer players are playing poorly. Taylor really is a waste of flesh. Albion have flooded the centre of the pitch, we need the width, but the crossing has to be better coming in. Whelan, you useless stupid ******.
-
Dawson down, yacked on the pitch?
-
Lets be real though, Albion are a good side. The league table tells us so. This was never going to be a piece of piss and we've made it harder for ourselves. But, still plenty of time and while not fully clicking just yet, we're doing okay. There's more to come.
-

They keep far fewer clean sheets than us so by that bizarre logic we might as well call it 2-2
-
They have a game plan and it is working perfectly.
-
Hourihane on as well please to try and nick a goal from a free kick. Whelan has been shit even after allowing for the mistake.
-
I think we're playing brilliantly. Really patient, constant pressure. They won't handle this all game. Come on Villa.
They're letting us have the ball in areas that don't concern them. They look very well drilled, all comfortable on the ball, all over the pitch.
-
Dean needs to figure out how to unlock Jack and McGinn. Ineffective so far.
What seems strange is how far forward Whelan is in comparison?!
Our best player so far imo has been Neil Taylor.
Still time, but the Baggies are doing a number on us so far
-
I can be a right pessimist at times but giving them a goal in a game yet to be played is taking it to a new level.
-
I'll be expecting at least 4 mins extra time after this little break (which has lasted 4 minutes).
-
Albion are going to go 451 now with Dawson coming off. That might help us a bit. Unless he goes back on.
-
They're marking Jack tightly and it's removed all our threat.
Johansen doing a superb job on him it must be said. That said it's a dreadful error that handed them their goal. They look piss weak on the right side too where Phillips is having a shocker and Holgate is booked.
-
I sincerely hope DS has a cunning plan to impart at H/T, otherwise this is gonna be another one of them "horrible ones"...
-

Agree. They are defending well and we don’t look any threat at all around their box.
-
That little pause may work in our favour.
-
They're doing what they did at VP last time especially second half, we need to work out how to break them down this time.
-
thought ming was gonna do a Kompany then
-
Of course, nobody ever comes back from losing a first-leg, do they?
-
HT. Played quite well but been lacking in the final third.
-
The "twelfth man" sounds like a group of spectators at a gala in Stechford Baths.
-
Very poor, Villa.
-
We tend to end up with our entire midfield and striker in a line with our defenders or Whelan trying to pick a pass.
-
Absolute shite, looked laboured and bereft of any ideas.
-
Really frustrating half. Total in control until the mistake from Whelan. We need to move the ball much more quickly second half or we're hoping for mistakes / dead balls.
-
Well let's hope that's our bad 45 mins of the play offs
-
We’ve been poor, Grealish, McGinn, Tammy all done nothing. Whelans fuck up summed us up really but he wasn’t alone, Adomah and Ming’s looked sloppy to. Steer’s brilliant save has kept us in this.
It’s only quarter time but tuck me we need to improve.
-
Strange sort of feeling after 45 mins. We clearly had the most attacking intent but less chances and could be 3 down if it wasn’t for decent clearance and a stunning steer save
-
Had a lot of the ball, but produced nothing.
-
Poor half. Need to up the intensity and get Grealish on the ball further forward. He can't be picking up the ball half way inside our own half. Give it 15 minutes and if we haven't got them on the back foot consider making a change but don't go crazy gung -ho. They're a better side away than at home and there's no sense in throwing the tie away going overboard in the first leg.
-
Big 15 minutes in the dressing room. Need to be 10 yards further up the pitch and move the ball with some urgency.
That being said a big minute has changed the game; Tammy missing his volley from 10-12 yards out and then the mistake from Whelan. Could be very different.
Expect more time wasting from them.
-
We are too predictable and giving them a goal lead has allowed them to sit in and I expect them to do this for the rest of this game and the next.
They have enough cutting edge up front to pick us off.
-
I don't think we've been too bad.
Whelan turning into Gerrard has knocked the stuffing out of us. Hopefully we can regroup at half time.
Have to say Gayle has been superb in the lone striker role, miles more impact on the game than Tammy. Would have him here no issue next year.
Problem is we saw in the two games last year how important first goals are in play offs. Would get Kodjia on for Adomah at half time to give some unpredictablity in the final third otherwise this first leg will just pass us by.
-
Bus well and truly parked. We've done way more attacking than the stripey twats.
At both ends.
-
Strange sort of feeling after 45 mins. We clearly had the most attacking intent but less chances and could be 3 down if it wasn’t for decent clearance and a stunning steer save
No they couldn't, if they score the first chance then the next ones don't happen as the whole game plays out differently from that point.
-
All look scared and Talyor is awful
-
Poor stuff. We're not doing anything to disrupt their game plan and their tight organisation. Never gonna break it down as we are.
-
Our 4 wide players are a quartet of ******, but it's been like that for much of the season. Absolutely fuck all coming in from wide, Albion know they're shit and know they can afford to give them space rather than others so yes, they've done their homework.
-
Whelan fucked us there. We’ve handed them the chance to park the bus for 160 minutes and they’ve snapped it up.
While they are so deep Whelan isn’t serving any function at all, so get hourihane on, kodjia for adomah and hope for a moment of inspiration.
-
Doing what they did in the league, get ahead and kill the game
-
Johansen doing a superb job on him it must be said. That said it's a dreadful error that handed them their goal. They look piss weak on the right side too where Phillips is having a shocker and Holgate is booked.
[/quote]
He is...though Jack is playing into his hands by dropping so deep.
Albion are surprisingly solid at the back and it is set up for them perfectly on the break.
Adomah has offered nothing...I've got to say I don't rate him and I never have.
He has go to turn to JK to try and offer something different.
Still a long way to go & I still fancy us over 2 legs.
-
I'd snap anybody's hand off for a draw tbh. Far too many sloppy performances from our lot today - and we don't seem to have the first idea as to how to break them down. We need Jack (or somebody) to take this game by the scruff of the neck & play through their well-drilled defence. It's been all too easy for 'em so far.
-
We need to move the ball quicker, that's the way to open up a side playing defensively.
-
The "twelfth man" sounds like a group of spectators at a gala in Stechford Baths.
I’ve always found this at Villa Park - I can only count a handful of times I’ve ever found the atmosphere truly excellent (I should point out I’m not yet in my 30s) as opposed to away games where a shit atmosphere is the exception rather than the rule.
-
I think we may need to gamble here and bring a second forward on. Perhaps Davis to get in amongst the Albion centre backs. We look void of ideas at the moment and haven't stretched a really well drilled Albion side. the second leg will be more open unless Albion piss this with us making more stupid fucking errors. Our movement off the ball has to be better too.
-
conor for whelan
kod for AA
-
Think Hourihane will have to come on at break, need his goal threat from midfield on asap. Whelan not exactly providing much cover against their counter attacks so is obvious one to make way. AA offering zilch and having a footballer as poor as Taylor getting so much possession isn't going to worry them. Not sure on our other options in those positions though.
I'd change shape slightly too. Sit McGinn next to Whelo/Hourihane for a bit and drop Jack right up near Abraham. See if that worries them a bit for a while. Otherwise going to have to get Davis (my preference) or Kodjia on circa 60 min Mark.
-
We have had 70% possession. We have been the better team but have lacked a cutting edge. Plus the small point of giving them a goal start. Adomah has been anonymous.
-
For all our possession, we haven't remotely looked like scoring.
I don't think it will be long before we see a change of formation.
-
Strange sort of feeling after 45 mins. We clearly had the most attacking intent but less chances and could be 3 down if it wasn’t for decent clearance and a stunning steer save
West Brom sort of team that can have 40% possesion yet still create good chances with their front two really pressing and chasing the long balls.
It is Matt Phillips first start since early March so hopefully he'll tire and they'll re jig their midfield around 70 minutes.
Holgate on a yellow is something we really need to attack, would get Kodjia on as I've said.
Losing this wouldn't be clever at all. There is still time.
-
This team have come back so many times this season, we can do it again, let's not start calling the same players that won 10 in a row ****** and rubbish because we've conceded a sloppy goal.
We aren't being outplayed, we aren't disorganised, we aren't lacking effort.
Back the boys.
-
Up early watching in a beach bar in Barbados....please don't ruin the last day of my honeymoon Villa!!! Just no cutting edge...get hot lips on.
-
Our 4 wide players are a quartet of c***s, but it's been like that for much of the season. Absolutely fuck all coming in from wide, Albion know they're shit and know they can afford to give them space rather than others so yes, they've done their homework.
Not sure we are watching same game , el ghazi is causing them plenty of trouble

This for me
-
Rocket from Smith required.
-
Yep AEG our best player for me.
-
Whelan serves no purpose in this circumstance. Switch him with hotlips, push jack into the hole (even though they’re not leaving one), and give it 15mins.
If still no improvement, switch Albert for Kodjia or Keinan

El Ghazi been good? Lots of good runs down the right. Final ball been non existant but it's been like that all season.
Adomah needs to be hooked, hardly done anything.
-
We'll still win.

Hear, hear.
-
They're doing a good job on Jack and SJM, we need to work out how to get them into the game more.
-
Adomah and Whelan are both a waste of a shirt in a game like this with lots of possession and no room in their half.
-
If you take Whelan out their front 2 will see more of the ball.
Conor will move the ball a bit quicker and gives us dead ball options.

Yup but very little end product. We predictably push the ball out wide and take an age to get it in the box, bread and butter for the Albion defence. We need to have more options, ideally Jack and SJM running through the middle.
-

Adomah has to go.
-
Dawson off, Tyrone Mears (35 years old) on.
-
Come on Villa!!!!!!!!!
-
Fucking come on Villa
-
Fucking come on!

🤭
-
Big change that for them, get fucking in to them the first 15 minutes. If we get one they will crack, come fucking on the Villa boys.
-
Hegazi booked
-
Hegazi you dirty fucker! Yellow.
-
Corner.
-
We've subbed off SJM, for Tonev judging by that effort.
-
McGinn Row T
-
McGinn has let himself down a bit so far, looks too eager to please, just relax.
-
jst dont seem to be falling for SJM at the mo.
expect a screamer now
-
I had no idea Tony Pulis still managed the Albion.
-
Just one goal turns this tie around.
-
This isn’t the Villa we’ve come to expect in the last few months under Smith. We are very flat, laboured and a bit predictable.
-
I had no idea Tony Pulis still managed the Albion.
No point moaning about it. It's a tactical problem Dean and players have got to solve.
-
Just one goal turns this tie around.
Not if Sandwell score it.
-
Just one goal turns this tie around.
Not if Sandwell score it.
Fuck tinpot fc. If we score they will shit themselves. We will win this tie if we don't lose the first leg.
-
That's better VP. Sounds more like it.
-
I don't blame them for parking the bus, it's up to us to get past it.
-
looking better
-
Stop being shit villa
-
What with the fucking short corners? We’re not doing anything with them. Get it in the mixer.
-
Keep it up Villa!
-
I don't blame them for parking the bus, it's up to us to get past it.
Yeah we did it in last year's play off SFs. Thankfully so did Boro when they were 1 down
-
Time for Kodjia? Take off Albert.
-
That albion defence is shit, make them buckle Villa, come on.
-
How refreshing would it be for a ref to book time wasting when not already in the last few minutes of teh fucking game
-
Time for Kodjia? Take off Albert.
Alberts doing a bit better on the left
-
BOOK THE ******
-
Second half ticking on, need some subs.
-
adomah is still wank and those whelan passes into the middle are too heavy at times
-
Hope this is our shit leg.
-
40,754
-
Second half ticking on, need some subs.
Yeah and tweak to the shape seemingly
-
Albert looks very slow today.
-
what else can mings do when whelan hits a ball like that to him
-
Change it Dean
-
Gayle booked for time wasting.
-
About time too
-
That’s at least 4 times Mings has put another player in trouble. Hmmmmm
-
I can see these bastards getting another
-
AA cant even do a simpl ball on the break there ffs he frustrates me
-
Changes please now
-
Dirty ******
-
40,754
The square root of 40754 is 201.876200, which is the average number of times I shout "FFS!" during a half watching the Villa.
-
When is that guy going to get booked? It's absurd.
-
Pondering on the ball a-fucking-gain. What is wrong with us today. It’s pike our studs get stuck in the turf.
-
Devoid of ideas in the last 3rd. They’re just standing us up and waiting for us to blast it at them.
-
El Ghazi needs to stop shooting from out wide. It's a waste of time
-
Phillips off for Murphy.
-
changes villa
fuck off whelan and AA now
-
Referee bottled it a couple of times there
-
Johansen has spent the entire game kicking people, how isn't he on a yellow?
-
Fuck off whelan.
-
That’s at least 4 times Mings has put another player in trouble. Hmmmmm
He’s been poor today, strutted around a bit tbh,
-
Whelan has played his role late in the season but right now he has to be removed
-
A highly unenjoyable game thus far.
Get Kodjia on.
-
Hotlips for Whelan
Green on for Albert
-
Jesus this is pisspoor from us.
-
Pondering on the ball a-fucking-gain. What is wrong with us today. It’s pike our studs get stuck in the turf.
What are you carp-ing on about?
-
Conor for Whelan
Green for Albert
-
Hourihane and Green for Whelan and Albert.
-
Kodjia very unlucky there. Should be coming on. We need more presence up front.
-
Would have brought Jimmy on instead of Green if I’m being honest, but hopefully he’ll make me eat my words
-
Time for Green to make a name for himself.
-
Every time Whelan is involved something shite happens.
-
Kodjia very unlucky there. Should be coming on. We need more presence up front.
Yeah and he does take a few mins to warm up when brought on. No use leaving it until last 10
-
I’m surprised that Kodjia isn’t on. Put two up top
-
Not great in game management from DS so far...
Ah now we finally have some changes, Hourihane and green on for Whelan and Adomah.
-
Hotlips for Whelan
Green on for Albert
The two players I have been wanting to get the hook since half time. Whelan has been poor and Adomah has been anonymous.
-
Ffs
-
Kodjia would have been good to see. Abraham doesn't do much and we could do with someone doing some running and some unpredictability.
-
Why did those 2 get so many bloody minutes?
-
Some impressive time wasting by them
-
Can’t see us scoring.
-
McGinn needs to get involved. Worst game he's had for us, today.
-
and Adomah has been anonymous.
like most the season
-
Coincidence that team not functioning today and McGinn is having an off day?
-
Cheating ******
-
What the fuck is wrong these bastards play acting?
-
Gayle is a cheating ******!
-
ffs taylor
get hause on at hawthornes
-
Taylor really is shit
-
They will get another goal with one of these corners.
-
Abject
-
Taylor: I'm not a fan.
-
Taylor is killing us on the under lap.
-
Some impressive time wasting by them
Aye, although apparently it's called 'game management' these days... ::)
-
Come on Tudor Grange! Let's be 'avin you!
-
So much possession and yet Johnstone has had very little to do.
-
Lot of players reverting to type here.
-
How many times has Taylor found himself with the ball in an attacking position and losing it.
-
no one in the box there for villa
-
El Ghazi has had a decent game. Always look to run at them,etc.
-
Who’s that bloke in the no. 7 shirt?
-
Get Kodjia on FFS. We lack any kind clinical touch in the final third
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
CONORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
-
That little interchange with McGinn and Ming’s summer is up. Overthought it and became sloppy. They then broke and we’re out of position.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I dunno what's happened but I love you.
-

-
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
-

-

-
The change in tempo since Hourihane came on has been huge.
-
COME ON VILLA!!!!!!
-
Tammy! 2-1! Dreamland!
-
Yeeeeesssss! Now get a third.
-
Come Oooonnnnnn!
-
They've got to come out and have a go now, might suit us.
-
Bring on Kodjia and ram it home
-
Wonderful
-
So deserved - we've been excellent.
-
So deserved - we've been excellent.
Lol

-
Conor goal, foot like a traction engine

-
So happy that was such a soft penalty...have some back you baggie bastards
-
Calm it down lads Tammy lucky there
-
Mmm that was a pen for them not given
-
Lucky to get away with that one, but we've deserved it second half. And they are bunch of cynical cheating wankers so, good.
-
Mmm that was a pen for them not given
Not sure. I'd have been screaming for it at the other end though.
-
Commentators saying it should have been a pen, but Abraham had his eyes on the ball for me.
-
I'm following the game on here with talksport radio commentary on as well. Come on Villa. Villa Park sounds great
-
Cap'n Jacktastic - squared it for Conor's screamer and won the pen for Tammy to convert. Just needs one himself to finish his day off.
-

fuck em the cheating bastaards
-
I hope our pen was ropey as fuck and theirs was nailed on. Karma is a bitch you ******.
-
Commentators saying it should have been a pen, but Abraham had his eyes on the ball for me.
I didn't think it was a pen either.
-
It was a pen but I have no sympathy whatsoever.
-
Bring on Kodjia and ram it home
Oh Matron! :o
-
Gayle sent off, hahha fuck off ******
-
If I’m being picky hot lips should have been on way earlier.
-
gayle off misses next game lol
-
Gayle off!
-
Was just about to type, second half would be perfect if Gayle gets a second yellow.
Hahahahahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahaha.
-
Gayle sent off, hahha fuck off c***s
Are you in a time machine?
-
Red card for Gayle
-
Ha! Fuck the Albion!
-
Bye bye Gayle you vile little man.
-
Gayle off. Not so much a gayle as an ill wind. Does he miss the return leg?
-
And their biggest threat is out of the second leg! Bye bye Gayle!
-
Haha fuck off Gayle. Bye bye that’s them fucked
-
Fuck off West Brom you wankers!!
-
If I’m being picky hot lips should have been on way earlier.
yep better start next game
-
Bye Dwight! That’s a relief.
-
Ha! Fuck the Albion!
Fuck the Albion!!
-
El Ghazi coming off hurt now
-
AWG crocked by the look of it
-
Hahahahahaha
-
Bye bye you fucker
-
Gayle the timewaster...kharma's a bitch huh?
-
Nice. He kept on fouling all day. What a fuckin div.
-
Jimmy Danger coming on
-
Bye Bye Gayle!
Dirty f-ing Pr*ck.
-
7 added mins, time to rattle in a couple more and really make the fuckers squirm.
-
The best bit is Gayle barely touched Steer.
-
El Ghazi coming off hurt now
Had great game
-
If I’m being picky hot lips should have been on way earlier.
yep better start next game
He will, no chance Whelan would've started both games even if the error hadn't happened.
This is huge second half, have to say until Hourihane scored we were looking far more clueless going forward than first half imo and though DS was way too slow with the subs which of course will be forgotten.
-
Bye Bye Gayle!
Dirty f-ing Pr*ck.
If I could have picked one of their players to miss the second leg it would have been him.
-
The best bit is Gayle barely touched Steer.
He should have gone earlier though for that bodycheck. And then there was the Rivaldo stuff. he got what he deserved in the end.

Oh, totally! He's earned that red.

You & me both, Damo. 8)
-
How long left?
-
Come on lads, let's stick the 3rd in!
-
Full time.
FTA
-
And breathe. Well done Villa. Tough old game that.
-
I was torn between wanting the whistle to go so we had the win in the bag and hoping for another minute or two to score a third as at the end they looked absolutely demoralised.
