Fulham 1-2 Aston Villa post match pint

[VillaTim]

The added time seems to have gone back to normal after the longer periods earlier in the season.

Thankfully yes. We all have lives outside football and stuff to be getting on with so the less minutes the better, we had 21 extra minutes at Anfield last year.

I loved Dean Saunders, I wish he'd been with us for longer. I may be misremembering a bit but it felt like he was deadly, give him half a chance and he'd score. That lob was unreal - who shoots from there?!

Or hit the bar...

Sorry to be pedantic but i think the goal you're talking about was against Sheffield Wednesday in a quite majestic performance, 2-0 not flattering us at all. A cracking team, and if we'd have had a couple more in the squad as back up we'd have surely pipped those dirty manc bastards to the title. Well, and if they hadn't had Fergie time in their home game against Sheff Wednesday.

You are correct, as shown in the video (March), the 21 pass goal was in the SW match. However the point still stands that the Deano lob was beaten by the well worked and possession-retained goal in the same Ipswich match, which they chose as it was "a good team goal". (Which is also in the GOTY for Feb.)

I felt sorry for Saunders when he scored against Ipswich with the outrageous lob, only to then be pipped for GOTM by Yorke finishing off an 18 pass (or so) move in the same match

Not quite. The Yorke goal in that game was a header from a move that came from a Norwich corner. Two or three passes at most. The Yorke goal from a multiple passing move was against Sheff Wed.

Edit: whoops! Ipswich not Norwich.

[Chap]

I think they were different games? Ipswich and Sheff Wednesday?

Nope, this shows all the GOTM for the GOTY list and the Ipswich one is in there. (As well as the Sheffield Wednesday one). We had four up that season but as it was also the season of rain at Selhurst Park, the winner was already chosen in October.

And not a commentator orgasm amongst them!🤣🤣

But doesn't contain the Dean Saunders goal against Ipswich which was described as the goal of the decade by John Motson when it happened.

I will never forget watching the trajectory of that goal from the back of the Holte.

That goal against Wednesday was always my favourite, it would have been even better if Deano hadn’t tried the cheeky flick before it came to Yorke.

I saw some random info graphic that backed that up, apparently most away goals for Villa is Yorke, Benteke/Saunders and now Watkins.

I could do all competitions buts a bit fiddly to do, so I haven’t, but in league terms Ollie is now level with Yorkie (and Charlie Athersmith) regarding away goals. Before he became fat and useless, Gabby scored most of his goals away from home when we played on the break under MON. Here is my all-time list:
Away League Goals – 1888 to present:
74 - Hampton H, Walker WH
64 - Waring T
61 - Bache JW
60 - Devey JHG
56 - Houghton WE
55 - Dixon JT
40 - Agbonlahor GI
37 - Broome FH
36 - Hitchens GA, McParland PJ
35 - Capewell LK, Garraty W
33 - Hateley A, Stephenson C
31 - Astley DJ, Shaw GR, York RE
30 - Brown G
28 - Graydon RJ
27 - Little B, Withe P
25 - Athersmith WC, Watkins OGA, Yorke DE

That's a good list, thanks!
