That's a great photo which fully captures the moment of complete joy and utter despair. It doesn't even meed a ball or a clock to tell you what's happened.

Still smiling too.

I love the 4 villa players running in various directions and Watford frozen & broken. Poor chaps.
;)

Everyone bar Mings was running to celebrate with the “scorer” Konsa. Mints knew he had scored so was running to the fans to get the adulations. However I would argue that must be one of the best photos taken at a villa match since Weir was in his prime. *

* although Terry had to do that type of thing with film and older lenses of course as it is too easy now. 

I love the fact that centre frame there’s a fella in The North Stand in a high viz jacket enjoying the moment!
Safely, I hope

Look at Reina on his knees facing the North Stand and he's only been here two minutes.  There's an inescapable team spirit running throughout the club at the moment. Long may it continue.

There was collective belief last night that we'd get something out of the game. It seemed like other than the usual Witton Lane evacuation and one bloke by us, hardly anyone had left before the end.

That is a brilliant photo for about half a dozen different reasons.

Why people get wound up about what is said on match threads I do not know. It's just a wonderfully over the top stream of consciousness, not a vive voce at Oxford.

I look forward to everyone wetting their pants or gloating furiously in outrageous ficklehood during the next one.

Agreed, although he was probably pleased with his free kick!

More like a dozen! I would have been tempted to level the pitch like this but I'm the Ali of OCD.

Don't want to get too carried away, but that goal could change our season.
I really do hope so!

It is great when loan players really immerse themselves in the club. Reina, Mings, Tammy, Snodgrass, Milner...

Thought one of the biggest pluses from the match was the superb performance of Marvelous, if he can now find his early season form, it'll almost be like signing a new player for us.

How can a multi-millionaire not afford a toothbrush? He's so Small Heath.

You can take the boy out of Small Heath but you can't take the Small Heath out of the man

A week or so ago we get humiliated by Man City, that could have crushed us and sent us on a spiral. There’s a long way to go, but the fact that we can come back from that, get a credible point at one of our relegation rivals and beat another without a bloody centre forward, says everything about the team spirit amongst this group. The quality may not always be there, the confidence will not always be there, it’s still a long way to go to stay up, but I believe this lot are well up the scrap, let’s get behind them for the rest of the season.

That's a far too reasonable suggestion ......it will never catch on :) certainly not amongst old gits like me who come on here for a moan and to get away from day time TV ;)
Good idea though ...UTV
