Aston Villa vs Newcastle United Match Scorchio!

[Martyn Smith]

Just tuned in from my sick bed. These comments from Newcastle fans. Arrogant doesn't even come into it. Villa are playing so well because UE has something to prove against Newcastle, apparently. Yep, it's all about them...

[Rudy Can't Fail]

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

It's still all about the points, our position will take care of itself.

Thoought Newcastle midfield started to improve but no shots on goal, Ramsey after a brilliant start is struggling after the rough treatment.

We now have a habit of scoring late goals too. It will be alright.

Let’s get into them nice and early in the 2nd half, score a second and then keep on pressing them back.

We have them where we want them, now to keep it like that.

Our nearest and dearest have a match thread about us, they mention the Sheff Utd 'goal'. Bless them.

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.

Good point, TV. We need to maintain the focus which until has been brilliant right across the pitch.

I think a little more from emi would be good - with Ramsey and Watkins around him he could really pull the strings

[Keeno]

Easily the best half of football I can remember us playing. Considering the level and form of the opposition, that was absolutely phenomenal. Watkins looked world class.

If we can’t score again in the second half I’d like us to make it really scrappy - I think we’re disrupting their tempo excellently at the moment, and we’ll need to be ready for their 10-15 minutes when they push.

Come on Villa.

Personally, I’d need to Karcher myself if I went anywhere near those places.

Ollie shot saved

Just nipped on. It's all pretty fair and well balanced tbf, that post aside. I think they've given up, the poor bastards.

Anothe4 chance there

Keep going Ollie!!

I wonder how long Howe will give it before chucking on Almiron and Wilson.
