Aston Villa 2 vs 1 Smethwick Post Match thread

[Ian.]

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!

I wondered what the racket was, I thought the sea wall had gave way again!
Get in, it's a great feeling isn't it!? Not just winning but a late winner against that lot.

I hope they enjoy their new brand of football. I'm glad we never went after Pullis.

That goal could realy change everything for us this season.

Fucking delighted, such a relief!  Don't think we deserved it.  A draw would have been about right, thought we'd blown it again, but it doesn't matter how we got the win, just that we got it.  Now we need a few more of those.  Not convinced by Benteke, but lets hope he pulls his finger out now.

16 shots vs 3.

58% possession.

Well deserved win IMHO. Probably the only luck we had was Hutton not getting red carded.

[Villa in Denmark]

Massive result and I think we deserved it in the end.  Hope that win kicks us off.  Amazing what it can do for confidence.

No doubt we deserved it.  They couldn't have complained if we'd been out of sight by half time.

Other than the goal did they have another clear shot on goal?

[enigma]

When was the last time we scored two and won in the league? A goal in the last 15 minutes too. That was massive for us today.

Happy and relieved.

If Lily says we deserved it, we must have.

[Flamingo Lane]

As an aside I hate it when the players celebrate getting a pen before scoring it.

Me too. And watching on Sky, Charlie Nicholas's reaction to seeing the penalty (and the silence from his monitor) made me think the penalty had been missed.

BT Sport now. Stan showing real class and making Savage look the twat he is.

Well played Stan.

[Stu]

Pulis's reaction was a treat as well.

The commentators response to that shot of him at the end was fantastic.

"Justice for football, when you hire Pulis you know what you get and isn't very pretty"

Ouch!

If Benteke had missed, I'd have heard Nicholas cheering from here.

BT Sport going to town on Hutton, he'll be getting a ban I suspect

Sure, but most of that good play came in the first half, and it seemed like we had blown it.  West Brom looked the most likely to win it in the second half.  But I'm not complaining of course!

Happy and relieved.

The last time that we won in the league (Leicester at home)

[The Left Side]

Deserved and what a way to do it, still a long way to go but that is a huge result for us.

[supertom]

Absolutely. Getting the 3 points we deserved, with almost the last kick of the game. We final got something go our way and it could be the turn of the tide.
