Is that Jack suspended?

Don't think so.

You're right Lee, that marker passed at the half way of the season stage.

Brill cheers chaps.

Fabulous result and I have to say I much prefer BT's coverage to Sky.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Great result. When we can play like we did today and Southampton and still come away with the win, it’s very encouraging. We’d all like us to play better but it doesn’t always work like that.
Whole defence were brilliant.
Not quite sure what Arteta was moaning at the officials at the end for?

Weekend has just got better

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Watkins MOTM... He scores and defends.

That bit of play he did around 54 minutes was exceptional.

Same for me, he was fucking awesome. Great win that is.

I spotted that too. Immence defending from a centre forward (I wonder which stationary player he passed on the way to helping out Targett)
Great result. Our defence was brilliant but Tyrone was my pick of the bunch. Jack improved 2nd half (that free kick at the end should have been awarded to Jack not against him...weak refs!)
Brilliant work Villa!!

[N'ZMAV]

it's a sign of progress that we can scrap out wins after a previous disappointing performance.

[Risso]

That was nerve shredding.
They dominated possession for large parts of the game but we created by far the better chances.
Some great battling performances today, and the back 5 were magnificent, to a man.

I'm bored with saying how great Targett is, so Cash's turn today. He must be the fittest player we have, as he never gives the player on the left for opposition a second's peace. No small amount of skill either. Brilliant purchase.

Jack won’t be suspended as the yellow cards get re-set once clubs have played their 19th match.
Put ourselves under a lot of pressure but, ultimately, a great result from an outstanding defensive display. Bring on the Spuds!!

[Border villan]

The ground Ollie covers is immense.

[Bobby Boy]

Done Arsenal home and away. No goals conceded. Now, that is superb.

I know we're not getting ahead of ourselves but with Arsenal and Tottenham not at their usual level we have a great chance of Europe this season.

I know, I know... Whisper it softly...

[Villa Lew]

Great result against a quality team, Mings and Ollie outstanding, well done Villa.

UP THE VILLA

[Legion]

The ground Ollie covers is immense.

Yes, Villa Park is quite spectacular.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Love a clean sheet as much as a bunch of goals

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

That's more like it!  35 points now, same as we got last season.

Does that mean we'll stay up now?

we could always do an Aston Villa of old and mess it up.
