Why the **** did fans boo Gardner? He was our youth. The fact he played for blues was not his decision. We sold him even though he didn't ask for a move.

it's what happens when you come up through our ranks, give everyone the impression that be is a Villa boy only then to be kissing and thumping their badge and proclaiming love for that lot as soon he signed for them.

Wiemann MOTM says it all really what a player in the making!
Personally I thought Herd was MotM.
But there were good performances from plenty of players. We just haven't got that cutting edge at the moment.

it's to be expected, he's a nose from a nose family, the only reason Gary says nice things about Villa is because he's been with us since a wee boy.

Didn't he say how much he'd love to beat Villa after he moved? Or something to that effect? I may have dreamt it.

Garbage. I was bored to fucking tears. I can't even be bothered to rate people individually. I don't think i'd care if I never saw any of the 11 who finished playing that match or the cocktard of a manager ever again. Utter Utter dog spunk. I shall make use of my ST against Bolton and then that's it, i've had enough.

It doesnt slag us off though , it says he wants the team he is playing for to be the top team no harm really ?

Another dull game devoid of ambition. We huff and puff but look confused when we get the ball, Sunderland were poor but they strung passes together, were more crisp, and quicker. I'm thankful I can't get to the Bolton game, they need it more than us and I think that will be the difference

Kissing the Blose badge doesn't help his cause, also 'always been a bluenose'

18 Villa goals at home so far this season... diabolical. All I can say is thank God I only have to sit through two more games now.

After that I'm not going to set foot in Villa Park again until McLeish is gone.

Poor match which we could of lost had it not been for some last ditch defending and a fortunate linesman call.

I think we can go the rest of the season unbeaten , unfortunately  I don't think we will win any either so will 4 draws be enough ??

Couldn't see us winning this or the Bolton game beforehand, and saw nothing to think we can now.

4 in 17.

Offside was the correct decision I think. He looked offside to me even though the replay was from a sympathetic camera angle.

I see what you mean, but considering he came through our Academy and was considered a Villa fan by some, is that not a bit ...mouthy? For want of a better word. Personally I don't really care either way, he had a good game today, but I can see why he got booed by some.

I don't think I've ever seen a more blunt Villa side than this, it looks like if we go a goal behind we are stuffed.
