Looks like Robinson punched Hogan in the aftermath of our goal. Watch closely.

Get him banned please.

Please indulge an old bloke.  What is the significance of the Oasis song?

Can't believe Gabby changed the game but he did, two tackles, a clearance into touch, a booking, closing down there back 4 all in the 10 minutes before he scored. He may have gone massively down in our estimations but he knows what this means. Fair play to him.

Brian, At Reading when we won with a last minute penalty they played Oasis and "don't look back in anger" fitted the mood.

I don't think there is one bar the fact that it was played after our first victory in ages.

Another dreadful performance by Villa but have come to expect it under Bruce .Today all that matters is the result to be fair but we have to be better next season if we want to be promoted .Well done Gabby,i am no lover of him but he changed the game and deserves some credit

Agree yes we were / are poor and they still can't beat us. For me today was about today, I will leave next season for tomorrow 😀

Thanks Scratch.  I was singing along but I did not know why I was.

Didn't take him long to fit in over there, talking about Gabby post-match.

Redknapp, leaving the whole room open-mouthed, said: “He’s come on and had 10 minutes. That will keep him happy here for another year.”

We get it Arry, you've lost the match, slipped closer to relegation but you know the only thing that really matters to the knuckle draggers really is hating Villa.

according to Kendrick on his way out of the presser he spotted Gary Shaw pointed and said 'now there's a proper fucking player'

so he did get that one right

As much as I am delighted for us to win that photo pretty much sums up how far we have fallen in the last few years.

I am embarrassed by it.  It is the kind of thing they would do and we would quite rightly slaughter them for being so small time.

Small time would be a picture like that with us losing at Blackburn putting Blues in the bottom three.

[brian green]

At half time I had a good bet on Gabby scoring the first goal, the winning goal and getting a red card.  That would have bought the cat a few goldfish.

Cork Villa's lack of pleasure in the win only increases mine.

I thought that playing that dirge was to encourage people to exit the stadium quickly

[peter w]

Mind that gap! ho ho ho.

[SoccerHQ]

Hutton and Baker excellent, Jedinak competent, a lot of tedium, Gabby interested and therefore better than anything for them.

Wellington beer very pleasant.

Awaits 10 page report on Taylor seamlessly slotting into another clean sheet defence....

Mind that gap! ho ho ho.

More like mind the drop!
