Excellent win, a really enjoyable performance for the first time in years.

And….I think our Tim out-tictac'd Pulis! Ace!

[TonyD]

Been given a bollocking for shouting and jumping.   Oh yes !! We might stay up.   Oh and we will on Saturday.  Get the f@uck in.

[Toronto Villa]

Benteke is the Ice Man. Take this run son. Take this and run.

[Lizz]

This result has just topped off an already good day. Get in.

Now to knock them out the cup.

If ever I was going to use OMG in my language it's now.

Fucking OMG

Ha! You might have heard me from Dawlish Ian! How cool is The Beast? He'll be on a roll now!

[phantom limb]

I am speechless, I am without speech.

[Risso]

Pulis's reaction was a treat as well.

[TonyD]

I woke the kids up with my clapping and cheering.  I've aged 10 years.

Ditto

Fucking brilliant. We were excellent in the first half, but I thought the chance was gone. Really got to see us keep going for it right until the end. Thought we played much better as a team and Grealish did well when he came on.

Best night Villa's given me since the Emirates last season. A fucking win, but more than that, I'd slapped a tenner on 2-1 with Gabby to score first.
660 quid richer and more importantly absolutely chuffing delighted that we won today. Deservedly so.

That was intense. I thought Bacuna had blown our last chance.

It's not been an easy season to watch, but tonight is a good night. We were pretty good at times today. Sherwood got it right.
Guzan- 6: Not much to do. No chance for the goal.
Hutton- 7: Solid as always, even if he's a dirty sod. Kept on bombing forward all night.
Okore- 6: Made a few unforced errors today, but that last ditch interception when Ideye was through was quality.
Clark- 7: Solid
Lowton- 8: Impressed me today. Dependable on the ball. Did well at the back, despite getting isolated a couple of times.
Cleverley- 8: His best game for us IMO.
Delph- 7: Much more like it.
Westwood- 7: Did well. We had control of the midfield.
Gabby- 7: A threat today.
N'Zogbia- 6: Lively at times. Ran out of steam.
Benteke- 6: Not at his best. That goal will do him the world of good.

Grealish- 7: Thought he was confident and lively. Did well.
Bacuna- 5
Weimann- 5

Our first penalty and what a time to get it.

[clash city rocker]

I was an athiest but now I'm not so sure...!!!!!

[VillaAlways]

Fantastic !

[Dave]

Gabby to score first, us to win 2-1. 66-1
Have I just blown a tenner? Probably.
I'm praying that the law of Derby Gabby comes into play and he'll turn up today.

Somebody even happier than the rest of us.
