Cool pic from the game, they're all perfectly in sync.
The thing that struck me was that yes it was Luton, but it was exactly how a top top side wins a game like that. Minimum effort, pretty much complete control, and you just knew he could have gone through the gears.

Disappointing if he's been told to change his style/tone just to appeal to a demograph of our fanbase as it's very unnecessary. It's something you'd expect to hear at a Reading or Fulham.Not quite as bad as that one time we played music after scoring a goal which led to a revolt against Krulak on here but I'd rather it just got cut out and he announced the goalscorer in his normal professional manner.I thought the same. Very cringeworthy. He’s no doubt had instructions from above.Yep. He sounds so uncomfortable doing it and it's cheap, tacky and classless.

Another win for us roll on Notts Forest.

Its kinda weird supporting Villa right now. As a fan of over 40 years, I am conditioned to the 'Villa way' of raising expectations, only to fall at the simplest hurdle.So While Luton are who they are, I saw this as a bit of a banana skin. And apart from the Chuckle Brothers at the back making the decision to keep up our recent habit of scoring four per game, there was nothing like a banana skin in sight. Nothing.So delighted with the result that gives us a bit of a cushion from 5th spot to 6th.One thing that did piss me off about the game on Sunday actually had nothing to do with us at all, but the people over at SkySports talking about two games in particular. On one hand, you had Robert Earnshaw with his cock in hand, spraying semen around at the excitement of Liverpool dicking Forest. On the other hand, you had Clinton Morrison, practically crying & talking about how boring it was that Villa were dicking Luton. They really are scum...

Very little about our superb run of form and that we've now cemented outselves in that top 5 pack.
