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

[supertom]

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.

It did amuse me how much the TNT lot were waxing lyrical about Brighton. I must admit I like them too but, it was almost like we were there to make up the numbers, even as the home side.

That said, it doesn't hurt to hover just a little bit under radar. Let everyone talk about Brighton, Newcastle and the return of Spurs.

And the Team that Won the World Cup.

5live last night they were saying how Brighton could finish in Top4 whilst being dismissive of our chances

So the league leaders lose for the first time this season.

9th and 10th place teams swap places as ManU lose.

Luton record their 1st win this season.

That's us already relegated to 4th game on MOTD tonight - and that's before we have Spuds v 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' at 1730

Football is a funny old game. Midweek we're making Everton look like Arsenal, pinging it around for fun and completely unlike Dyche-ball and today we smash Brighton and Everton lose at home to Luton.

My lad’s first ever match today. Not a bad introduction to life at Villa Park. I told him it’s like that every week.

My lad’s first ever match today. Not a bad introduction to life at Villa Park. I told him it’s like that every week.

I was buzzing, having taken my youngest two to the Everton game in the week. To be fair they’ve got a pretty good record, but on the way home from that one they were so miserable I worried about what I’ve inflicted on them. The fun they had today made it all worthwhile.

[Lastfootstamper]

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.

It's so easy to be very matter-of-fact about him. I myself appraised him as our best since Friedel. Daft or what?! He's not just a goalkeeper, he's a goalkeeper plus.

Jacob Ramsey is going to be one of the greatest players to ever pull on our shirt.

[Richard E]

Jacob Ramsey is going to be one of the greatest players to ever pull on our shirt.

Considering he’s still coming back from an injury he put in a terrific performance today and it was a peach of a finish for his goal.

[Sexual Ealing]

Jacob Ramsey is going to be one of the greatest players to ever pull on our shirt.

And it'll be the honour of his life to have shared a pitch with this Brighton team. They're an inspiration.

[Smirker]

Jacob Ramsey is going to be one of the greatest players to ever pull on our shirt.

Steady on 😯

Motd running order prediction? I reckon we'll be 4th behind Wolves, Palace and Liverpool.

[oldtimernow]

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.

you wouldn’t think so according to Sky pundits

[PeterWithesShin]

The more they ignore us, the more they underestimate us, the better.

[Nev]

The attitude and approach today only serves to convince me further that the Manager wasn't really fussed about the League Cup. And maybe we need to understand that our desperation for a trophy and fondness for that particular one just isn't shared by him.

Today was just outstanding and you can see players developing, particularly at the back. Konsa is growing into his role without Mings and Torres is improving game on game. Injuries aside we need to keep that back four for at least the next two games. Stability breeds confidence.

[AV84]

He said something post match about the league and Europe being very important to "us". I don't know if that was him saying he didn't care about losing midweek, or if its just because for the moment they're the only 2 competitions we're in.

(I still think the team he picked midweek should have beaten Everton)
