Here's the Guardian match report - maybe I'm imagining things but it seems a little bit pro- Chelsea? 

Nope, not imagining things. That reads like a piece out of chelsea's next matchday programme. But they're not all like that; here's one that's a little more appropriately weighted

Much better but no mention of Callum Robinson.

What great news.  Bodes well for the medium term - provided that certain people in club hierarchy appreciate that not all of that team - and realistically a couple at most - will have what it takes to become stand-out first team regulars.

In fairness to whoever wrote the guardian article, part of the reason it sounded so pro-chelsea was probably because of how match reports are written.  Mr Journo watches the first half, and then does a write up of it during half time.  However, they usually have to send off the report to their editor almost straight away at the end of the game, so the summary of the second half tends to be a lot shorter.  Chelsea were the better side in the first half, hence more attention being paid to them (although im sure there is an element of bias in there- sadly there are a lot more people interested in Chelsea than there are in the Villa)

It's like a fly-free jar of ointment
It's like life with no disappointment
It's like the cat that got the cream
It's like young love's naive dream
It's like the tune from the Lone Ranger
It's like kindness from a stranger
It's like an old man's surprise erection
It's like sex without protection
It's like unconditional love
It's like a twig brought back by dove
It's like smoke from HMS Villa's gunwale
It's like light at the end of the tunnel

I hope the lads get to parade it around Villa Park at the Fulham game.
It should get the crowd going and really lift the place.

What a fantastic achievement. A bright spot in a thoroughly shit season. I hope the seniors sat and watched like we did.

Andi did, but he probably knows a lot of the players personally anyway compared to some of the more senior bought players.

I watched it on TV and cheered on our team.
What talent they have!
Loved the goalkeeper, Brad. Please, let's keep him.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

We should never again employ a goalkeeper who isn't called Brad.

[Colhint]

Absolutely, we should be scouring the Maternity Hospitals, 1st Brad we come across, sign him up

Haven't seen a bad one in a Villa shirt yet
