Liberated Aston Villa 4-0 Brentford post match party

[The Edge]

A fantastic afternoon, the Italian Latin Lions were over and a great day was had by all, top guys!

Love that.

I got drinking with the Seattle Villa fans before the game. They were top lads too. They've been here for the Chelsea and Fulham games. They were desperate to be able to celebrate a Villa goal. They got their wish. I bet they're buzzing this morning.

The Latin Lions are superb chaps! Archie is a legend.

Yeah I think I've met them. Top lads. They gave me one of their Villa badges it's on a Burberry design which is quite unique.

Interview with Aaron Danks after the game. Jack Woodward just can’t help himself with a cheesy cliche immediately.

Listen, was this a little dig at “Listen” Gerrard.

Listen, I thought that too Ian!  Quite funny if it was.

I don't think it was, more than likely just something that he's picked up after being around Gerrard for the last year. He seemed quite nervous in the interview and mentally shattered, bless him, and I think having a dig at Gerrard was almost certainly the last thing on his mind.

While we're talking about managers' post match interviews, I thought Frank's was a bit classless, and he was being quite snide with the female reporter.

Anyone notice Shearer painfully trying to blame the players for Gerrard leaving on MotD last night?

Hendrie was the same on foreign comms. Really don't get why no-one in the press is willing to tell it like it is with him. The Athletic coverage, who I think are normally a bit better than the normal rabble, has been embarrassing, too. (Although, not a surprise as it's Gregg Evans there, I suppose)

Just read a mad stat from the Express & Star's Matt Maher on Twitter. Probably not worthy of a new thread, but I'll repeat it on a couple so that it's seen cos this is nuts...

Yesterday was the first time that Bailey, Ings and Buendia have all started together for Villa since they joined!

Not surprised because he SG has hardly ever started Buendia.
Again we saw what Buendia can bring to the team and one of the reasons slippy lost his job.

So they were good signings! haha

True and obviously Bailey has had his injuries but it smacks of a waste of resources and an inflexibility in changing thing when they don't work.

Thomas Frank is bit up his own arse. No doubt he’s done a good job but he’s starting to revel in it a bit. Loves himself in a Phil Brown sort of way and can come across at times as a bit condescending. That never ends well.

Like quite a few others on here, I was convinced that Ings and Watkins could not play in the same team. Aaron Banks just showed us that they can! And be VERY effective!

I am still not convinced, but it definitely worked yesterday.

[London Villan]

Watkins on the right, rather than the left seemed to suit him.

[Goldenballs]

Aston Villa scored two goals after 6 minutes and 41 seconds, the earliest they have ever scored two goals in a Premier League game, with this their 1,050th match in the competition.

It would be great if they could prove that the Ratboy money wasn’t wasted. I’ve always been a big fan of little Emi but even I was starting to doubt him.

[dave.woodhall]

When Dean was sacked he said they'd played 35 minutes together.

[Somniloquism]

Bailey got injured very early on. And then both Smith and Gerrard seemed to want to play with both Watkins and Ings as a front two which left little room for more than one creative player, so it seemed to be two of the three at any one time.
