Aston Villa 2 vs 1 Smethwick Post Match thread

[django]

I made it onto TV which is always a bonus Great Birthday present from the Villa! I was genuinely in tears after the Penalty went in - what a result! Onwards to Wembley!

That's like an optical illusion. Small people in the foreground Big people in the distance.

Anyway, I enjoyed that. A lot.

Ive criticised the Sherwood appointment but that was far more like what we need tonight. (Although Albion were appalling.)  It's far better being pleasantly surprised by someone you don't rate than disappointed by someone you do. I thought he came across well in the BT post match thing too.

Not ready to eat just now, but much more of this and I might need to get some humble pie in the oven.

The most satisfying feeling for me is we thoroughly deserved what we got tonight.
3 points.

Fantastic. Which one are you?

Back home about hour ago but have enjoyed reading every post on this thread...you've all said it for me so I'll just add what a fu**ing brilliant feeling it is to win a game...to win it against West Bromwich Barcelona...to win with our only penalty of the season so far...to win it in the 94th minute (when we've conceded so many times late on)...and to enjoy the whole of Villa park singing at the end. It doesn't happen very often but it feels fu**ing wonderful!

(Ciaran Clark won everything in the air - EVERYTHING! He seems to have become an extremely mature, reliable CB almost overnight)

UTV!

Finally home after being led astray with promises of alcohol by Joe and Dave W. Also very nice meeting Mr Boiled Eggs before the game.

Anyway, my concise post-match analasis.

Fucking get in!

FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION FUCK THE ALBION

I'm the guy in full focus with the scarf and my arm's raised.

Just got back north. Dropped my Albion supporting little brother off. Most satisfying journey of the season.

Fuck the Albion! Fuck the Albion!

Was Foster not also the keeper in goal for Small Heath when we won with the late penalty decision that Stephen Carr accepted so graciously?

[PeterWithe]

Apart from Lescott they are pretty ordinary, Berahino, goal aside, seemed nearly as nonplussed about them as most Villa fans do.

Fuck the Albion! Fuck the Albion!

Fixed that for you.

I wouldn't have said a word to him or took the piss at all. I wouldn't have had any football stuff on the radio. I would have had music on in the car and just cheerfully hummed along with it. Subtle mental torture.

Is that Mazrim below you?

No it was Joe Hart

[PeterWithesShin]

It was like a stampede back to the seats from the concourse of the Lower Holte when the penalty was given.

And it's moments like that why we keep going to games.

Fair enough. I will settle for us winning with a late penalty again at the weekend so I can post 'Wasn't Foster in goal when we won with a late penalty a few days ago'? If I could write the script a handball decision against Craig Gardner when it clearly hasn't hit his hand would be my preference.
