It's lucky.

Turn H&V off during the Fulham game, please.

I was starting to fret - maybe an away win was just too much for it to handle.

Glad we're back!

Trying to follow the game on BBC Text Commentary is shite.

I think I preferred Ceefax.

BBC Radio Berkshire was somehow, serendipitously, free of the geographical blocking. Or maybe it's because I'm in West London. Anyway, I was alright, Jack.

Apologies to all, major problems with server.  I had to give up at 4am until in work this morning. Looks like problem was in an upgrade of Mysql but still investigating.

Used a combination of twitter and BBC text, was not great.

Can't remember the last time Villa made me so happy though when the page finally refreshed and I knew the whistle had been blown. Napoleon is often quoted as saying 'Give me lucky Generals', perhaps we have one in Bruce.

Be interested to read what the folk who saw it live think.

I panicked when "Account Suspended" appeared on my tablet. I thought the site may have come out in sympathy with Jack!

Anyway nice to see it back. Well done Martin.

Forgive me Father, I even ventured onto Villa Talk. Wanted to see what subs we had made, as Bet365 just says "Substitution", but the miserable buggers wouldn't put that info on there.

I won't go there again. A silly place.

Yes  I agree. What you need Martin is a Bysql as back up when Motorsql fails. If you need anymore help you know where I am.
