[UK Redsox]

Ying Tong!!

Jack should be throwing in all the Goon Show/Pink Panther references he can think of

[pauliewalnuts]

Callder is a big bastard isn't he?

[oldham_villa]

He is that and it's a great asset to be hard to shove off the ball.

I heard Amavi looked impressive, was he?

[UK Redsox]

i only saw the second half, so can't really comment on the starting 11. However, there were some good performances from the kids, especially Calder and Bloodknok. Mason and Donacien also looked good

[UK Redsox]

I heard Amavi looked impressive, was he?

From the little bit I saw of him in the second half, he looked like the best Villa left back for several years.

Not difficult, I know

Zola was easily one of the top ten players in the PL era, in my book.

In no particular order

Bergkamp (he's in order)
Keane
Henry
Pires
Viera
Van Nistelrooy
Van Persie
Shearer
Giggs

Always thought Zola good but overrated.

Id I took out the UK players then I'd put in Overmars and either Cahill, or even Suarez before Zola. Yorke too. If not only overseas players then I'd even have Gerrard ahread of him.
Petit

Henry number one... by miles.

No, the blonde hair blue eyed boy number one by country miles.

[Toronto Villa]

I was saying vs Braga, but Calder looks a big, strong lad. A couple of challenges in that game where he simply never gave up.

Callder is a big bastard isn't he?

Just seen a picture of him No need to buy someone to replace Benteke. Stick this lad up front . It might be the answer!

[jwarry]

I heard Amavi looked impressive, was he?

Very good, he's class

[jwarry]

Callder is a big bastard isn't he?

How old is he? Does have more growing to do?  if so he is potentially Toure proportions!

[PeterWithe]

Luna looked magnificent at Walsall this time a couple of years ago

[PeterWithe]

So what was the score then?

[Matt Collins]

On to the next one. Nice to get a win

Not a good second half performance at all. Hopefully tiredness. Other clubs have had bad results tonight

Need a better option than gabby up front

Westwood in a two? Really not sure about that.

Any news of grealish fitness?

[The Left Side]

0-2 to the Mighty Aston Villa
