Aston Villa vs Sunderland Post-Match Thread

What has PDC had to say?

I couldn't understand a single word he said. He's a raving nut-case.

[*shellac*]

Marvellous.

[Sexual Ealing]

That was the least Aston Villa thing I've ever seen Aston Villa do. I fucking love Aston Villa.

I'd be well surprised if we don't get a bid for lowton on the summer. He's starting to look "Top4" good now he's finding his feet. Thought he was MOTM tonight by a mile with all due respect to Benteke.

I reckon he's got to be pretty close to an England call up soon.  I know he has some mistakes in him defensively but he has a great attitude and fantastic technique and will get better and better in the next few years.

Steady on. He's not up there with Walker, Richards and Johnson yet.

Give him time and he might be.

I think there's not a lot between him and Richards and I still think Johnson is an absolute liability in defence.  Remember Lowton has looked steady at centre-half as well, which is a versatility which will help him get into squads.

He was probably raving on about conquering Abyssinia and railway timetables.

I've had worse nights down the Villa. UTV

[saunders_heroes]

Both our fullbacks were superb, as were Gabby, Delph and Syla.
Benteke of course was just immense. I doubt if you'll ever see a player jump as high as he did for his 3rd.
Absolutely brilliant, Villa.

Was at the match, great display from the team and the fans bloody sky box failed though, well done you Villains

[Clampy]

I actually thought Lowton looked good in the 2nd half up at Old Trafford. He's the one player who i've not seen have a really poor game this season.

Dave is right - Walker was good and fast as anything in the league, but Lowton is miles better technically. He is right up Wenger street in the manner in which he plays. He is also adding a million to any fee every time he goes out, and an England call up would only add to that.

I said way back before Christmas went a bit off the scale that Lowton and Westwood would play for England, and I am pretty confident on that happening.

Bennett might even have a chance. Baines and Cole are not getting younger, and Luke Shaw looks very good but is only 17.

[Matt Collins]

Lowton is fantastic technically. He just needs to learn to defend crosses better, and not get so square to a winger

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Everyone played exceptionally well and could be discussed in depth about how great they were.

However, I feel the need to mention Lowton. What a player. He was superb in everything he did. He seems to be getting better and better. My MOTM, but clearly understandable why Benteke got it.

Well played Villa. I'm looking at finishing 11th-ish now - ha!

The hardest thing now will be getting their feet back on the ground and focused for Norwich.

Most people could probably guess the script...

Reckon we'll hand out another tonking though.

It's funny looking at the table, if we win our last 3 games and other results go favourably, we could finish as high as 9th. I'd be very happy with that as that was my start of the season prediction! I'd take a win at Norwich and losing the  last 2 if it guaranteed our safety

[PeterWithesShin]

I'd also like to say I predicted this. I am Nostradamus! Apart from predicting they'd get fuck all.

Be nice to stick half a dozen past Sunderland to help the GD. I'm still convinced we'll stay up anyway.

Us: As Many as we want Them: fuck all.

Keep the faith!

[puppyfeat]

Never thought I'd ever be so happy to beat bloody Sunderland!

The only bad thing is that Benteke's gonna cost a fortune in fantasy football next season - still playing for us, of course!
