Just back from a very sunny, rocking Villa Park.
Funnies bit of the day was the expressions on the Swansea defenders faces when Benteke came on. You could tell they were thinking "what the F***"
Best day down the villa for years.

Oh and I'll praise Ireland as well, didn't quite work creatively but he worked incredibly hard.

FFS he was abysmal.  Gave the ball away in key areas, didn't create a jot and had one limp effort of a shot.  Total waste of space and the one negative in an otherwise very positive day.
smile ffs

I'm having such a lovely day. Lots of ace things to do and just back from a noisy Villa Park with a Chinese take away and lotsa wine to see my relieved, long-suffering Villa 'widow'. Has anyone mentioned Lambo's touchline performance yet? Like MON meets Zebedee, but with actual tactical nous.

Pestria it's clear you have an agenda with Ireland, if he was so poor why did he get an excellent reception when he came off?

Ger Regan and Mel (Irish Villain) that should put a smile on your faces before the evenings festivities.  Enjoy Brum and safe home.

I wasn't over today Dave but I will definitely be booking a trip in the coming months. Well worth it if we keep playing like that. We have our villa back!!

Great anticipation from Benteke. Bent done a lot of tracking but came to life when Benteke came on. Used as an impact player or from the start ?

No idea at all.  Perhaps you could enlighten me.

He put in a lot of effort, and no not everything came off today but he ran himself into the ground.

Sorry Mel, could have sworn it was you, age you see!  Leege I think you're right; so enjoy yourself Gervilla and safe home to you too.

I was a good to great performance and it’s doubly pleasing that two of our best performers had quiet games.
Imagine Ireland at his best and Bent when he’s getting in more threatening positions.

There’s a fair bit more to come from this squad.

Fuck 'em I don't give a shit.  We're on the move and the only people that matter is us.  We're aware and we care, they can kiss my big hairy arsehole for all I care.
