Three words you would not have believed would be uttered together at Villa Park this season.

We want 7 (seven)

I think MOM was Gabby - he led by example and I thought he was immense tonight.

Not safe yet - but a hell of a lot closer.

Gabby was also my MOTM as well. Fuckin love him!

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.
Lowton is a decent player with a few positional flaws to iron out, but far too slow to be an international full back.  You need pace at that level and he aint got any.

Here is one to ponder - I think he will eventually make a great midfielder. So we need a new right back.

Well here's someone who should be getting the bullet possibly before Pardew, (Mike Ashley must be v. worried after seeing his £M flops getting hammered by the Bin Dippers). Enjoy this folks I think we all deserve it as he's about as useful as Lawrenson at the predictions game ! :-

Well that was a bit good wasn't it?

Excellent performances from everyone in a Villa shirt tonight (and Cuellar). Probably Lowton, Delph and Sylla's best games for us.

We've quitely been scoring plenty of goals since new year's day and yep those two wins for Sunderland have papered over their weaknesses big time. It's incredible to think how toothless we looked for most of the first half of the season going forward, this is a proper Lambert team now like the one he had at Norwich.

Talking of Norwich, win there and I reckon that will be enough for safety. Great our goal difference is better than a few clubs and will be better than Norwich with a win on Saturday.

Winning there is by no means a cert, although if Bassong fails his fitness test, it could get a whole lot easier, and a bit messy for old Norwich.

I disagree on Lowton's pace too. Baines is not that fast, nor is say Lahm, but are both technically very gifted and work very hard at their game.

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!

Well played son!

It's very refreshing to see so many different names suggested for MOTM
