Strange game today. After all the intense "must win" games of the last few months it was weird to have a game that basically didn't matter. Thought we'd walk it after the early goal but in truth we played poorly. Fair play to Wigan for not charging much but that concourse is not big enough for a full, or nearly full stand. I guess they won't have that problem so much when the likes of Small Heath come to town. Anyway, UTV. 15th and 3 points more is progress of sorts. We go again.

Since there was nothing riding on it, I decided to watch MOTD without knowing the scores. I only have their highlights to go on but it looked like Wigan were the better team and had more chances. Our defensive problems were on show again. Was disappointed with Boyce's goal as I thought Bennett looked favorite for the ball at one point. Just wasn't strong enough I guess. Let's hope he and some others bulk up in the summer. Good goals though. Nice to see Bent get one and Vlaar's was class. Strangly enough, I already can't wait for next season...UTV!

Wigan fans  "FA Cup m'lord, FA Cup! FA Cup m'lord, FA Cup!"

Villa fans "Have you won the European Cup....etc etc"

Wigan fans "We won it two times, we won it two tiiiiiimes, the Auto Windscreens, we won it two times"

If you'd offered me 15th in January...

Lots done, much to do but at least we're heading in the right direction again.

I don't care about Wigan,
They don't care about me,
All I care about, is AVFC

Love it!!!

I don't get it.

It's a blues song, originally about Carson Yeung

No it isn't. It's a Liverpool song regarding the ownership of Hicks & Gillett.

They don't care about Rafa
They don't care about fans
Liverpool Football Club
Is in the wrong hands

Small Heath simply like to copy every Man United/FCUM/Liverpool song they hear. It's cringeworthy. Particularly that "I am from Bir--ming--ham" rubbish stolen from FCUM.

I can understand his anger at the Sky top 4 bias although I won't be hanging my head in shame for subscribing as its the only way I can watch more than 4 Villa games a season as I live away from Brum (currently in a USA airport with an 8 hour delay for fucks sake).

I hate Beckham

Feel your pain!!

Still bloody waiting

I'm still in the fucking airport!

What you haven't realised is the plane left 5 hours ago.

You just missed the call because you've been too preoccupied with the H&V forum

Seemed like an entertaining game but if lambert doesn't sort the defence in the summer we'll have another year of struggle to look forward to.

That silly second goal wil hopefully serve as a timely reminder, amongst the relief of survival we still have to recognise that the team needs major work over the summer.

Spent Saturday night in Blackpool. The place has'nt changed in 20 years but there were plenty of Villa there which was nice.

I thought it was a decent enough game. Two really well taken goals and we played some half decent stuff at times. Lambert made another couple of silly subs though. Sylla was having a great game but he took him off after an hour which was a bit strange. I'd have left Gabby on as well. I'd have probably brought N'Zogbia on instead of Bowery as well.

All in all, i think we've got a lot to look to look forward to. A Lescott type at the back would be good and if we can bring a few players in the same mould as the one's we've got now and get certain players on decent contracts, then it'll be better next season.

Had a great day but the lack of clean sheet is ridiculous.The defence really needs addressing in the Summer.Lambert will not be afforded the same amount of good will if we continue to be so abominable in defence next season.Oh and piss off Albion and Fergie
