Souness still bitching about Mings, the tosspot.

Yeah saw that. Wanker.

[Bad English]

I hope Legion doesn't mind me doing the honours.

Allan might

1 things for certain, that dressing room isn’t lost. The commitment was fantastic, the discipline was there and Ashley Young rolled back the years. A monumental effort from everyone.

My first thought. The players are still with the management

[SaddVillan]

Seems like the first time in a very long time that a Villa performance and result has really pleased me. Hoping for more of the same in the next few weeks as I open a Sat. night bottle of red.

Claret, surely?

[astonvilla82]

Oh and what the fuck was the ref doing for Phil’s disallowed goal?

because linesman raised his flag  VAR couldn't  intervine ?

[PaulTheVillan]

We were robbed then.

Seem to remember linesmen are told not to flag when teams are attacking and let VAR sort it after the shot. Don't think the keeper was getting that even if he hadn't "stopped".

Probably stopped Gerrard getting the axe. If we played like that all season we’d be top 6 right now.

We're a counter attacking side it seems, we just don't know it yet.

[Ger Regan]

It was a terrible decision, but hard to say for certain whether coutinho would have scored had the whistle not gone. A number of players stopped and i'm pretty sure Ederson didn't fully commit to the save either. Still, let the play fucking develop, it wasn't even a 2nd phase of play.

[Five Villa Tattoos]

Played with passion and pride.
Ashley Young was superb.
Hopefully this now kick starts us onwards and upwards.

if it was other way round flag would have stayed down

Sometimes some people deserve bigger insults.

Surprisingly good performance but can't help feeling we've just been absolutely robbed? I don't care if we deserved it on balance of play, to have that winner chalked off leaves a bitter taste. Surely no excuse for the ref, when we had the ball, to not let play continue then check it after?

It's particularly annoying when you see such marginal decisions as the Everton one today changing games through VAR, then ours just gets ignored.

That aside Luiz obviously needs to play a bit further forward than he has for most of his time here and SJM needs a break. Still don't rate Gerrard, never wanted him and would like him gone. But probably won't happen now, at least for a while - and we'll be in real trouble by that point if it does. Clearly we have the players to be in a mid table position at least with a manager who knows what to do with them.

P.s., haven't been on here for a while, how do I change my username?? 😳
