Think 35 will do it. So another win and a draw.

Of course, if we get that early enough we could finish the season well.

We're on 32 so only need another 3.

[mrastonvilla]

Was it 36 that has kept us up in the last 2 seasons? I think that will be about the mark again this year. Looking forward to taking my 2 lads on their first trip to see villa at Wembley next week with some of the pressure removed.

One our best and most important wins in a long time. We deserved that it wasn't a smash a grab.

What a result

Just need Arsenal to do the business now vs Burnley and Lester aside that will be a great set of results for us.

The Leicester win isn't bad for us - it means we have a chance of finishing above Albion and Leicester are still 7 points behind us.  Also Albion's fixture list is pretty tough, so they're not clear of relegation yet.

Poor yellow to concede by Sanchez but not sure why all the negative comments. He was nearly setantas man of the match but they gave it to bent eke...

Great result for the lads. Everyone gave their all...

Just need burnley to lose now...

[PaulWinch again]

Sanchez is fine until about 70 minutes. We'll miss him against Liverpool.

[TonyD]

Burnley losing.

If fit, I would play Clark in Sanchez position next Sunday.

Great team performance
Sanchez does give the ball away to much,
 but this is exaggerated on the match thread because when he does it 15 posters tell us he's done it,
 I saw Delph, Wieman, Richardson, Benteke also pass to the opposition with not a single comment from anyone

he's not great at ball retention, but he does do other things like break a lot of play up, and put himself about, to much in his case today

I think he's become a bit of a scapegoat with Richardson, an easy option to moan about, I thought they were both reasonable today

[berneboy]

I've done a predictor and we'lll be safe.

Massive massive massive win.

[SamTheMouse]

Everyone played well, but Baker and Vlaar were absolutely superb, rock solid. Also, now that he has more passing options ahead of him, Cleverley finally looks a player.

A brilliant away performance, and I'm warming to Sherwood more and more. He may be far from the finished article, but he's articulate and positive, and the team look like they know what they're meant to be doing.

I thought Soldado was close to being our man of the match.

Hahaha yes. Colossal waste of money this fella
