Aston Villa vs Sunderland Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Oh and my one gripe from last. Why the smeg don't they put on any extra buses after the match? I was at the 7 stop within 5 mins of final whistle and still had to wait nearly 20 mins for the first one to arrive. Which obviously got packed quickly so went past most of the other stops without picking anyone up. Surely someone at can have the bright idea that a crowd of 38K+ may need more buses than the usual night service. Planks. I got home quicker from Stoke than I did last night from VP!

I've got a headache from last night, worth it though! I actually feel quite fucked, not sure I could cope with Villa winning 6-1 very often!

Come now pws, I'm sure you could stretch to it

I suppose I could manage to cope once a month!

If proof was needed that some journalists don't know what they're talking about, then look no further than Neil Moxley's player ratings in the Daily Mail. Mignolet gets the same marks as Guzan despite letting in 5 goals more and Carlos and O'Shea get a very generous 6 out of 10, the same mark given for each our midfielders.

Oh and my highlight of last night. Was it the scoreline? One of the goals in particular? The atmosphere? No, it was before the match when I was walking across the North Stand car park. A car stopped and the driver waved to let me cross, the driver was Sid! I wanted to shout SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID and start bowing, instead I gave a casual wave of thanks. I'm dead cool me.

I wrote on here a little while ago about how disillusioned i was during the Newcastle game and how i left at half time and actually shed tears of disappointment at how far we had dropped,and how crap we were. Last night i cried again,i am an emotional sort of chap, but i cried tears of absolute joy last night, i left the Upper Witton and joined the throng on Witton Lane as the Holte emptied everyone was singing as they came down the steps, sang as they walked up/down Witton Lane.....Tell me when was the last time that happened?
Last night was brilliant a proper team performance from 1 - 11.....i can eulogise about Benteke or Lowton but last night all of 'em deserve equal credit. Even Paul Lambert - i had my doubts,they were all quashed last night.....he is the Man!!
Onward and Upward

We stood at the bottom of the Holte Steps after the game chatting for about 5 minutes  and seeing people coming down singing was fantastic. It was all very jolly.

Dunno if I missed mention of it being changed anywhere, but weren't our U19s supposed to parade the trophy last night? Forewent me half-time pint in anticipation of that.

i just counted them. Seven bruises on the bottom of my legs from celebrating goals last night. And with the thick head I had this morning I am very glad that I wasnt in work.

I've had the day off today and was very grateful I didn't have to get up this morning as I felt as if I'd only just gone to sleep when the alarm went off (I was definitely still awake at 3am).

When I got home last night I set the Sky+ for the 1.30am showing of the match which I watched as soon as I got up and I also watched it on TV again at lunchtime.

Wonder if I'll ever get fed up of watching it?

Must make sure I watch Midlands Today later as they're bound to show the goals!

Well, it was quite good

I just want to echo the praise for the players and the feeling of euphoria that has been with me since last night. It felt so good to be part of the Holte End last night, I haven't had that electric feeling at a home match for a while. The noise for most of that game puts other fans to shame, so proud to be Villa even in dark times like these. The drive home was a delight, singing all the way and laughing at the Sunderland/Newcastle fans on Talksport. Let's get the job done at Norwich and look onwards and upwards.

Still think Villa Park is an easy place to go?

Has everybody's favourite Sunderland fan Davey B appeared yet?
