Thanks for the link.

Sounds like Borat doing the commentary

The commentator has very bad Scottish accent.

I love his laugh at the ref going on his arse.

Another win. Well done Villa boys and Bruce.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Hourihane as well, for another excellent performance.

Watch the replay of his goal and how he made the space for himself to get into a shooting position. Brilliant stuff.

Great start and good first half - the first 30 minutes or so I thought we played some superb stuff. When they got their goal I had nightmare visions of a repeat of the Sheffield Utd game, but to get a third so quickly after they scored put paid to that. I think them changing formation and putting an extra body in midfield for the second half allowed them to press forward more, and we got a bit sloppy and were lucky on a couple of occasions that they didn't get a second. Another win, Scotty's in the goals, up to third place (at least until about 7.30 tonight), great stuff

I'm starting to believe in the Villa again and I like it!

Pleased for Hogan. There's a player in there who struggled to get out but now his confidence is restored he's like a new signing.

Well done Villa on a great performance (especially 1st half) and result. I was willing Hogan to get his hatrick and I was very pleased for Thor who seems to have reinvented himself.
Tribute to Cyrille was great! Privately I was also thinking about my mom who sadly passed away last Sunday as well. She would have appreciated the goals from the Irish boys Hogan and Hourihane. Very emotional tribute!

Sincere condolences Abbeyfeale to you and your family and friends.

That was lovely from him and jack, amazing what a bit of a confidence does for players. It’s ages since I’ve seen that kind of composure from us. Occasionally an individual will do something but recently there are glimpses of decent movement as a team. Long may it continue!

Sorry to hear that. Mums are wonderful. My condolences to you and your family.

Great ovation from Barnsley fans for Conor Hourihane when he was subbed.

Thanks for your kind words much appreciated! UTV

My nephew continues to idolise Alan Hutton. Bloody loves him. First thing he did when getting home to Mum and Dad was to tell them "Alan is number 21." He doesn't understand why the highest number is Adomah (37) yet the 'master,' is only number 26.

[Meanwood Villa]

We looked great going forward for 55 minutes and then they came into it more. Looked a bit shaky at the back in terms of gifting them chances but held firm in last ditch situations and Johnstone had a good game. I think if they'd got a second we'd have kicked on but we might equally have gone to pot. Fortunately we didn't find out.

Well we finally seem to be playing some decent football in spells and seem to have found a way to get the best out of Grealish and Hogan.  As one of the latter's supporters through his lean start,  I'm glad he's found his mojo. I don't know if Bruce deserves the credit or if Agnew's influence is making the difference.  Whatever, I hope it continues and that we eventually manage two full good halves - we'll take some stopping if we do.

[Clampy]

Wasnt there today so performance wise, i've no idea how we played but the first half sounded great but judging by the amount of times Jeff Stelling went over to the ground in the second half, it probably wasn't as good but it's another win and it's looking promising. One game at a time, in Bruce we trust and all that.
