Fucking hell, they just showed Whelan laughing after his goal.
I didn’t know he had any teeth.

[john e]

the movement has changed 100%

same players looking completely different players

Our lad doesn't have Sky and we're babysitting so I couldn't go to the pub to watch it even though I don't like watching us on TV though Dean Smith is beginning to change my mind a bit.  The highlights won't load either, keeps buffering, grr!

[PaulWinch again]

Tremendous, brilliant and fantastic. Villa you are a joy, thanks Dean.

[BlackCountryVilla]

They were all great but a special mention for El Ghazi who was not only composed and threatening, he won the ball back a fair few times as well.

Well said - well impressed with El Ghazi tonight. That said they were all impressive. Great performance, great result now bring on the Stripy Filth.

[cdward]

That’s a proper result, and performance.
I love this Dean Smith Villa team.

[SaddVillan]

What the fucking fuck is Smith doing?
Only 3 tonight, shite performance.

Things are slipping.

(For American readers, this is irony).

[CT Villan]

El G was my motm for his relentless work rate and fabulous contribution in both directions.

[andyh]

The complete transformation of this team from what we were watching a couple of months ago, with the same players is quite astounding.

Hoofball ? whack and hope ? What the fuck was all that?.

[manic-road]

Superb team performance from the whole team. The subs also played their part when they came on. I'm getting quite excited with these performances, we controlled the game from start to finish.

The Boro fans aren't happy. https://www.oneboro.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=9083&page=21

I feel sorry for them, they're saying exactly the same things we did when we were lumbered with Bruce.  I hope they don't sack Pulis and bring Jokanovic in.

[Deano's Mullet]

Pulis very complimentary about us.

[Legion]

It's quite remarkable the change since Bruce went and Dean Smith came in. Same players, different everything.

We’ve been eating offal for years, suddenly we’re eating filet mignon and it’s delicious.

76/77 team all over again. Scoring for fun. Haven’t enjoyed it this much since the 09 team under MON. Superb.
