Marvellous.

Three on the bounce against Hello Kitty Tigers next please.

Which would be nice.
UTV!

Fantastic 2nd half, just fantastic!

[leylandalbion]

I love Roberto...very positive about us

He was...nice to hear a compliment from time to time.
And...hate to go on about it ... he agrees with my version of being "outplayed" - if you have lots of possession and do f**k all with it, it' ain't being outplayed! (I think?)
Come on you Lions!

You gotta accept that 100m team will out pass you. I think of gab was their today we would have more than 3 I was happy at half time and didn't sense too much dissent in north stand upper. I enjoyed it all not quite up their with Sunderland but I sense more happy days at vp to come. Vtid

Visited my dad's grave in Witton cemetery on (what would have been) his birthday prior to kick -off.And the Gods shined on us. I'm one of those who thought we played quite well in the first half against an outstanding side but as for those 3 mad  second half minutes and the mayhem that followed ... stunned and several stages beyond delighted.

I don't think that we've ever had as much of an emotional outpouring in the LTR as we did today at the end of the game. Hearty handshake all round.

Fucking get the fucking fuck in. I am pissed. That is all

Well they knew they had to win it as it was your birthday.

[jcsutv]

Ooh. And Guza just grabbed that.

You have a fine way with words sir. Its no wonder that they put you on the tele.

[Clampy]

Great win. Other than the two sloppy goals we gave away, I thought we defended really well. And I think Lambert might have pulled another one out the hat in Bacuna, he was excellent.

[Marton]

When Weimann slipped the ball past Hart, I had time to think: "It doesn't have enough pace, its going to be cleared before the line...". Time slowed to a crawl. Then Holte End just "sucked" it in...
Crazy...

Then at 4 min into overtime they get that corner... "Not this again, Please God not this again!". Camera went to PL and some similar thought is written all over his face.
Then the relief after the header is wide...

Bacuna for me was the MoM, not just for the goal. He is improving with every game. Amazing workrate. Sylla, Vlaar also good.
Delph was ok but not as creative as we have come to expect. KEA was ok. Baker not so much. Conceded alot of the corners and seems to be easily stressed into mistakes and poor passing.
Luna improved alot from his precious performances. Bowry for me is an enigma. He keeps getting subs and a cup game here and there but I never ever seen him do anything.
What is he supposed to be good at? He is not pacey, thats obvious but what CAN he do? Can he shoot? Good in the air? What!? When Delph was in the same situation he still had moments of promise. I honestly cant see that in Bowry. Nevermind, it didnt cost us anything today.

After the final whistle the joy of Villa players celebrating in a way that shows that it not just any 3 points.
Its the momentous impact of feeling what a BIG win home at Villa Park feels like...

Slightly annoyed I went to the Spurs game but couldn't make this one as well. But mostly I just love this football club. UP THE VILLA!

The Weimann goal reminded me of that Phil Neville OG a while back, equally amazing how the Holte sucks those in sometimes.

[Deano's Mullet]

all the goals

[Brend'Watkins]

I have no idea what kind of team this villa are any more. Our worst performer first half ends up being MOM, we looked poorer than a relegated Wigan of last season and then produce a batteling 2nd half that would suggest we could win the league wiith a few top class players.

It's torture being a Villa fan these days. The sort of torture that only Villa can put you through. I'm delighted and exhausted and mildly pissed, it helps.

[villan from luton]

When you think of the players out injured, that really was a superb result. Lambert does seem to have the knack of finding these players like Bacuna, long may he reign

[Dave Clark Five]

Can we now stop comparing us to when TSM was in charge.

Arseholes post things like that knowing that load of others will jump on the bandwagon. One prick tried it at Lambert's first sports forum with us and was put in his place.
It is pathetic.
