Villa 6 (six) Brighton 1 Post Match Lower Grounds Celebration.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I like that Sadd.

Maybe we won't sack Unai just yet then.

Thrilled by the performance and result, but also by how good Ramsey looked on his return.

What what the big square of empty seats in the upper Doug Ellis about?

There was a block in the Trinity as well. I assume unsold Terrace View and Lower Grounds seats.

It got boos when they announced it at HT. And the attendance was only 40k so maybe they were the unsold wanker seats.

[GarTomas]

Clearly still working on the rotation but pleasing to win both league games after losses in the cups in the week.

Expected a very close game but we were clinical at times.

[rougegorge]

We were just excellent today; their midfield couldn't cope at all and Mitoma accomplished very little today.  There was only the first few minutes of the second half where they threatened.

Why on earth were there such long delays for VAR today ? Being in line with the first half goals, I only thought the first could need a check, but whatever the outcome, the waits were a bit of a spoiler.

The ref was poor today, booking players for very little and then not booking others, and that included McGinn near the end.

What a result.

And what a performance.

Hopefully as the season progresses, we can calm down our "Jekyll & Hyde" style form.

But today was just magnificent.

Almost every player was on top of his game.

What a performance... 👍

[Goldenballs]

Yeah I thought the ref was abysmal

[ez]

I said we needed a statement result but I didn't expect that. Happy days.

I'll take the 3 goals and 5 assists for my fantasy team as well.

Ha - I dropped Watkins as captain.

I transferred Watkins out before Chelsea. You're welcome everyone.

In my mates fantasy league, three of them transferred Watkins out & one brought him in.

I never pick Villa players for fear of jinxing them...

That was rather enjoyable.  Special mention for that save from Martínez early on at 0-0.  Things could have been very different if that had gone in.  I've got used to him having match changing moments like that now.  He's so good.

My lad and grandson were there today, he reckons McGinn was MOM.  He said what others have been saying that we stopped Mitoma playing and then seemed at will to do our thing.  Grandson was disappointed, apparently at half-time he predicted a 5-1 win!

My daughter predicted 7-0 to a bloke who asked her before the game. He said ‘Do you know who we’re playing?’

Should be first up on MOTD but won't be.

[VillaTim]

Really important win against one of our peers . Huge result

[rob_bridge]

Should be first up on MOTD but won't be.

You have got to be joking. Villa have just mullered the Beebs 2nd favourite team.

[The Man With A Stick]

Brilliant performance and brilliant result. 

I think we should mark the calendar, because I think today marks the day when the Emery revolution at Aston Villa no longer flies under the radar.  From now on, we will be part of the conversation at the top end of the league.  No more "surprise package".  No more "outsiders".  We're up there, on merit.

Hmm, we'll see.  The way most sections of the media carried on after we won against bottom-half Chelsea last week, even after winning there last season, makes me think they'll never change.  It was as if Bobby Gould's Smethwick team had turned up at San Siro and overturned peak '90s Milan.
