superb Dave. There was a time that when we went a goal down it was curtains. We've shown now how far we have come not just evidenced tonight but over the past two seasons. We are never beaten, we have players now who will fight to the end and give any team in the world a game. We are still a few players short of crossing the finish line in the PL or CL, but a closer than we have been in a very long time. Deep breath, regroup and focus on the FA Cup and qualifying again for the CL. The hard work means we will earn that versus deserving it.

Great summary of a night we will never forget. Surely that was the loudest Villa Park has ever been?

Good summary. I said on the way out that we need to be in this competition next season. Not just because we belong but we'll be a better team for it.

The first thing I said as we left the ground last night was that we need to be in this competition next year.
We want it again.

6 more league performances like last night and we can do it.

I seem to have been blocked from reading it, any suggestions on how I can get past that?

Or can someone cut and paste?
