Ha ha ha ha! That is all!

Payback will be so sweet on Monday...

Why do people do this? It always backfires, enjoy it!

[Dave Cooper please]

Two Saturdays in a row I have been farting about on the roof with the TV aerial. I must be insane.

You're just hoping for some Rod Hull like notoriety.

Clark is such a composed figure in midfield.  I don't think he'll ever grab the headlines but he is such a good base to build a team around.  His positioning and passing makes everyone else play better.

Couldnt agree more, he radiates composure in the middle, the 'anti-Collins' if you will. Cracking midfield player.

Today reminded me so much of that Everton game. Started well, were outplayed and looked like drawing the match but a bit of quality from one player pulled us through it.

Great game by Gardner as well I know hes only young but considering he played wolves midweek and put in a good performance in a hard Derby game he did really well

It's McLeish, Clark, Keane.

Am I the only one who is bugged by the constant misspelling of their names?

Oooh the halftime pisstake. Schoolboy error from the lad. Give him hell Legion.

Will have to echo, credit where it's due for McLeish and Warnock today. Hopefully knowing he's not inked on to the team sheet will make Warnock pull his finger out a bit. McLeish, for all his bashing, made a change for the better and put a fairly adventurous side out. With Bent and Keane, there's gonna be goals.

I do think Marc deserves credit as well. The two of them stopped Kightly from playing.

I wonder what this thread would look like if Warnock had played like Clark in the first half? Clark is most definitely not a left back however, as the second half proved, he is going to be a very, very, very good midfielder.

The Beeb saying Frimpong at hospital with a serious facial injury. Nasty

And I'm delighted by this, both as a villa fan and an irishman. I hope Trap puts him in the middle ahead of Whelan or Andrews, if Ciaran keeps this form up, he'll have to.

Does anyone know why we played in boring white, instead of historic claret and blue?

Must say I disagree with a lot of the posts here blaming our defence. Our midfield was shocking in the first half. Neither wide man tracked back hardly at all. Petrov and Gardner were bullied by the Wolves duo.

Huge change at the break. I felt before the game moving Clark out of the middle was a mistake and so it proved. He dominated the midfield in the second half. He won anything physical. Thought Hutton did ok as did Warnock once he stopped diving in. Keane had a fine second half. Gardner has nice touches but less of the hyperbole would help I reckon!! Petrov was anonymous again for me. Bent's movement was good today but the delivery from Albrighton has to improve. Bannan and Weimann were shocking when they came on.

Big 3 points coming from 2-1 down. Injury and red card were in our favour but we edged it I thought. Was more the impact of Keane though rather than any sustained pressure that brought the winner. Still a lot of decisions when Ireland,
Nzogbia and Gabby are all fit.
