Us 2 - 1 Them

Aaron Hughes & Steve Watson for us.  Ameobi for them.

We're the worst team in the Galaxy at home. Draw.

We're the worst team in the Galaxy at home.

I think our neighbours across the city would disagree.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

For some unknown reason they really don't like us, I can't think why..

Still one of my favourite Villa videos.

As for the game, in true Villa style we'll huff and puff and get turned over once again at Villa Park by another shit team.

A very frustrating 1-0 defeat.

Aston Villa 3...  Bobby Moncur og, Harry Hampton (2)
Newcastle 2...  Wor Jackie Milburn and a Tony Blair pen.

2-1 Villa - Gabby and Zog

[Villan For Life]

1-0 Villa with Delph scoring. Another strong defensive performance too.

[Goldie.7]

Looking at the squad from Sat the weakest link by far was Gabby, he needs dropping, we can't keep carrying him when others are putting in a real shift.

Bent & Weimann on Sat for me. I can't see it happening though as Gabby knows his place is safe no matter what.

I was at Stoke, Gabby worked his socks off, again. He is still our most dangerous forward at the moment.

Was there too WAAV - Gabby deserves to keep his place after Sat - he did work his socks off - pity he missed the good chance under pressure (from Shawcross?) though, otherwise it would have been an excellent all round performance from him.

[Chris Jameson]

This is a must win game. We are only 3 points off the bottom, lose this and Newcastle move level and we are as good as down as we still have to play the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, City, Man United, Liverpool and Leicester home and away.

0-3 (Whitehurst, Mirandinha, Reilly)

[Nelly]

I noticed West Brom doing the same tribute to Jeff Astle. I guess it's sort of a backhanded compliment that fans of other clubs follow our example on it. I don't mean that with any disrespect but clearly the Support Stan thing made a mark. I'll definitely respect Newcastle's and West Brom's respective tributes but with the knowledge that we started something. in fact, wasn't that idea pitched on this very forum?

[Nelly]

Oh and, I'll have us to sneak a win 2-0.

[Ron Manager]

A hard fought  3-2 win.

Hampton, Hateley and Hitchens for us

Collier and Ferris for them

[Risso]

2-0 Villa. Bringing my daughter to her first game.
