I also think Guzan should've done better with the first. He should have gone with his left hand rather than his right. he would'vr saved this. His only minor failing, is this inability to use both hands when saving when diving in one particular direction. Still a great keeper, though, don't get me wrong.
Believe me it was a rocket with hardly any back lift. Can't blame Guzan one bit.

One real plus point this season is the amount of times we battle after going behind (not that it happens often!)

Another bonus, them twats singing we know what we are for 8 minutes before seeming to forget the words for the next 80. Wankers.

Did it kick off in the ground?

It did outside, twice. A bit of handbags by the North Stand then apparently a serious, come to blows, one by the church.

Before or after?

Before.

I saw nothing untowards.

Villa Park was buzzing tonight, not the first time we have come back from two goals down against the Tesco bags.

Delph and Andi were superb, also I thought at the time when Holt come on for Lowton it was a strange substitution but the big man held the ball up well and was composed when others were hoofing it up the pitch.

Massive three points and well deserved.

Has to be said, at 2-1 down we keep the ball well. When Albion nick it back we go straight back at them, get the ball and start an attack. In microcosms this is impressive.

I wonder what Holt would be like in central defence. Not the quickest, but he's composed enough.

Not a great deal of quality on show, but what a game!  The look on the faces of the Albion fans on Witton Lane after the game were priceless.  Thought Delph was fantastic and deserved MoM for me.  Hate to grumble after such a win, but I lost count of the number of times Westwood, Bacuna, El Ahmadi, Lowton and Clark gave the ball away between them.

Could have gone either way second half,and they did have a fair share of passing possession. Then starting lumping it - bread & butter for Vlaar.
Fuck off you small time wankers-pride of the midlands my arse.
