"Obviously people can keep saying what they want to say but as long as I keep sticking the ball in the net and Aston Villa keep playing well and winning games, that's all I care about, to be honest."
And he'd have 10 goals now if he took pens and it wasn't for shite officials
I mentioned on a different thread earlier today - all the pundits and journos who had a field day when we signed Bent in January - too much money, panic buy, why is Bent quitting Sunderland's chase for Europe for Villa's relegation battle - have gone very very quiet now. I know with Bent we were almost signing guaranteed goals but even so, he's been very good for us.
My personal wish for the season is for us to finish above Sunderland if only to silence the critics who questioned Bent's motives to move to a lower placed club.

Bent cant be far behind Stan's goal total for Villa.

This should be a probability rather than a possibility after last 3 games, Sunderland to go down? Like them as a club normally but it would be amusing given the disparaging comments about the respective clubs in Jan.
