Has anyone checked Newcastle and Wigan forums? I think they got the fear tonight.

The best right back display from a Villa player since John Gidman.

Too young to have seen Gidman and not read past page 1 of the thread, but Lowton was immense tonight. ABsolutely superb performance, oozing confidence and class. To think we plucked this bloke from obscurity with Sheffield United, and the fans we asked weren't exactly describing him as capable of playing at this level.

Should we stay up this close season will go a long way to determining how I feel about football. If our promising youngsters buy into the project and show some loyalty to the man who has elevated them to that position, I will sing until my lungs break for them. Should the best of them take the money and run, I think I might give up. We shall see.

But tonight - up the Villa. Lets all enjoy such a performance while we can :-)

Anyone having trouble sleeping?

Yep, up every night about 3am with my broken arm keeping me awake. Tonight I have the pleasure of an excellent write up on the Villa to keep me company :-)

He, and Bennett, deserve a lot of credit

Hate to criticise but the lad still cant defend. A good footballer, yeah. But as a fullback you cant stand 5 yards off your winger, especially INSIDE OUR PENALTY AREA at 0-0. As he did.

Sorry.

As an aside, we are Aston Villa. We rule the fucking world. 6-1? Piece of piss. We are Aston Villa. Fuck the universe.

I'm currently wading the match thread on the Sunderland forum, it's very entertaining. This is possibly my favourite "Could very well be 4 or 5 - 1 this" yeah mate, if only the 4 or 5 eh?

[PeterWithesShin]

And this made me chuckle at 4-1 "I'd take a draw now like!"

As an aside, could whoever that posted that quote about the Holte End being a sea of humanity from the 70s please repost it? i know i read it on here earlier, was a lovely quote.

From a Mags forum:

A resurgent Villa is not exactly what we need but they're a lot better than this Sunderland side.

From Ready to Go:

If only we had a massive brick shithouse centre half who could have dealt with him.

The pleasure's all mine:

To quote the Mail from 1974 after our 2nd Division side beat Arsenal in the cup:

“The mountain of humanity known as the Holte End must be included in the scoreline. There are times when a crowd can be very much part of a performance. This was one of them.”

The same again tonight please, gents and you'll count yourselves lucky to have been there tonight.

Your signature is quite appropriate too, tonight. Rudy can't fail.

Wonderful stuff.
