Alan Wrights goal at Boro was a cracker.

and his goal away against Spurs in 2000 was a corker! I think we were 2-0 down and won 4-2. Great day!

Dublin's goal that day was fantastic as well.  Shades of an overhead kick, not long after coming back from a broken neck.

Here you go anyway Dave:



I could watch that all day.

Oh my!

Good job it went in, there were two Villa players offside.

Lowtons had a lot of pressure on him this season and he's coped magnificently. I really like him, he's a quality player. He's hitting form again. He dipped around dec-jan, but being so young and being thrust into the top flight in all he's been remarkable. Under normal circumstances he'd have played half the games he has and been given time to rest when he needed it.
For me he's a good combo of Delaney and Wright. He's reliable, good going forward, good in the tackle. Like little Wrighty too, he'll score the odd screamer too. His positional play will improve as he matures and having another experienced CB alongside Vlaar will also help our young fullbacks.

Have to try and pause it then.
When the ball leaves his foot I'm pretty sure the defender on the left is playing them on. Follow the line on the grass.

My thoughts as well on the offside Nigel although the one nearest us (Benteke?) might have been off. Whether a lino would have noticed on either decision though is another matter and one we don't have to worry about.

Nah, just off I reckon.

This is just an excuse to repost the gif really.

I'm glad he has a football career to fall back on.

But let's hope he has a lot more of those feelings in the future with us.

Amazing amazing goal.

The great thing is in recent weeks he's starting to look a real threat going forward, set up a few of Gabby's recent goals and the chance he missed against Liverpool.

We have a good attacking full back on your hands I reckon.

Completely forgot about that. But then again, his goal does take a lot of the focus! ha ha.

On the subject of great Villa goals, Stan's against Derby wasn't a bad strike, for his wrong foot ;)

That goal is a thing of great beauty.
I will never, ever tire of seeing it.
