Aston Villa vs Newcastle United Match Scorchio!

[Goldenballs]

Hope we don't regret all the missed chances, they'll definitely be better 2nd half. Hope we can keep this up because we've been amazing.

Hopefully this is our shite half. 

Great if we can maintain this momentum for the first 15/20 minutes of the next period and put the game to bed.

Would expect Wilson on for Murphy (who has been poor) for them and a change of shape. Be interesting how we respond.

The only problem with that first half is that we didn't work Pope more. We could be 3 or 4 up so we need to make sure we don't regret not taking our chances.

We’re bashing them. Hopefully we can stay on top for the last 45. I am thoroughly unimpressed with the referee.

Comments full of them moaning that we dive.

[Baldy]

So proud, just fucking proud.

Keep it up lads.

[devilla]

A fantastic half, well done everyone. We should be at least two up and possibly more.

Watkins unplayable and Moreno has been especially good but everybody has been very impressive. We know they're going to come at us more in the second half and I just hope we don't pay for the missed chances.

[Rigadon]

Fuck sake Newcastle are FILTHY.  Best we’ve played all season for me. 

[Toronto Villa]

The key is our ability to keep the ball. That’s something Emery spoke about when he came to the club. We need to deny them opportunities to become a threat by taking the sting out of games when in possession and then work our own opportunities. The players look so much much comfortable at it now. And I can imagine how much better we will be with 3 or 4 top technically adept signings.

a totally honest performance so far

[SamTheMouse]

Still shitting myself. But it's brilliant.

[Skerra]

I had come to watch the Villa today but think I’ve been transported to a different universe!!

He was very complimentary about us during the pre-game show and no less so during the half-time break.

its a shame that this performance so far has no influence on our position in the table...

Not positionally. But mentally it makes everyone else nervous and builds our confidence if we can win today. No other side outside of the top two has the momentum we have. Let’s hope we can see this game out now.
