Not been this happy for a Villa result in a long, long time!!!Great performance for much of it..Benteke, Lowton, Vlaar, Westwood and Guzan were all bloody brilliant signings by Lambert. Needs time and backing, but beating Martin O Fucking Neill was lovely. The little knob.
Mark Lawrenson!....Oliver Holt!...Henry Winter!...Paul Franks!...Him from the Guardian!...Villadawg!...can you hear me Villadawg?...etc.

Needs time and backing, but beating Martin O Fucking Neill was lovely. The little knob. Don't think I could've put it any better, a very sweet and much needed victory. Still in for a difficult next three weeks but at least there's now a buffer between ourseleves and the bottom 3.Vlaar is the key I think. He's improved a lot in the last few games and it's not even like defensively we've been that bad except for that second half at Southampton. Not too bad when there's mostly kids in there.Pleased Westwood did well. A friend who watches Crewe a bit reassures me he's a very competant ball playing midfield, just needs time.Few interesting selction situations for next week, think I'd still bring KEA back as I think it would be naive to just assume WestWood can hold against United on his own. Probably bring Holman in for his energy but keep Weimann and Ireland in please.
I never used to mind Sunderland, I always preferred them to Newcastle and spoke to many fans when they come down and they were level headed honest and easy to get along with.Since pubehead took over I've looked for their result straight after Villa and Cheltenhams, I'm delighted they're struggling and love seeing him squirm, since the day he walked out I've regarded him as nothing but a judas, I bought into the O'neill vision and loved having him here, media was positive about us, we were fearless and in cup finals. Looking back shown me he was purely a short term manager, it was shit or bust and he failed, walked out and blamed it on Lerner for not shoving a load of cash for him to buy the next Emile Heskey. Todays result was sweet, it showed that tides are turning, were becoming a team again slowly, while he enters the final stages of his career and the few idea's he had have been found out. I'll quite happily forget about him now until we next play them, as soon as he's sacked I'll get back to not minding Sunderland.Despite all that though, 3 points is the most important part of the day, lets hope results go our way tomorrow and maybe we can dream of beating Manure?

I can wear a player like Ireland being hit and miss.Comes with the territory, creative but mercurial talents are often like that. Except for the very best. It's when your centre halves and other defenders are hit and miss, ike Dunne the last two years and like Vlaar this season that you can have problems (In fairness to Concrete, he has looked better these last few games).I would have expected a few more assists off Ireland though, if I'm honest. Maybe in some games he's trying to do too much or- like last season- he's been played too deep. Would be good if our midfield was solid enough to say 'don't worry about anything else, just operate in the final third.' At the moment we can't really do that though.
Fortune favours the brave and Lambo is braver than ****
As some of us said early on, there will be a lot of ups and downs this season.
