Can anybody tell me what happened today from minute 85

[Brazilian Villain]

Just watched BBC iPlayer highlights. Villa get 8 minutes, Everton Liverpool 13 minutes.

Did you like Gabby's outfit?

Can anybody tell me what happened today from minute 85

You told us you felt physically sick twice?

[Brend'Watkins]

Sometimes, as a club we should realise that substitutions might not always be a good idea. I can understand it if players are flagging, McGinn probaly might have been. Watkins wasent, he was on fire.

Sunderland were decent and always a threat, there was an aire of, we’ve got the job done from us, it’s something I really hate about us at times. As good as we were for part of the game we did our best to fuck it right up.

Sancho can’t be trusted.

I know but I appeared to be hallucinating as well.

Equally we’re fighting on two fronts and if Ollie or SJM get injured everyone goes mad that we didn’t use the bench. It was a bit of a freak situation today, but we came through it.

Le Bris post match interview was very good.  I am amazed he’s not being linked with bigger jobs already.

Sancho buying Tammy and Emi a Guinness after that.

I wouldn't trust him to do that without spilling the beer.

Sunderland showed why they are level with us on most points gained from losing positions. Just glad we stopped them going first in the table.

But they didn’t look threatening until Sancho came on

That's why Sunderland brought Sancho on

[Le Lapin]

I ran around the house twice when we scored.

From a Mackem on RTG:

We had arguably a better first half than Villa. They were better second half overall. We never gave up, scored 2 late goals when we’d been written off yet again. We could’ve won it but they did, because same as us, they never gave up.

They are a great team but we were able to score 3 against them. We made mistakes, but so do Arsenal, so do Man City. We can’t expect our lads to be perfect and make the right split second decision every time, because the top teams don’t every time either. The fact that this game could’ve been 3 points to us today shows how far we have come and should give everyone encouragement. Villa are a top 4 team, established, in Europe this year fighting for a trophy and in a Champions League qualifying place and we matched them. Anyone can pick fault, but take a step back and see how far we’ve come.

This sort of level headed sensible comment wouldn’t be well suited to here

I was stunned for a moment. Couldn't believe my eyes!

They'll prob give manager of the year to Pet Gladiola at Citeh or the spoilt manbaby at Arsenal if they somehow get over the line.

But Le Bris should be in contention for what he's done there.

They didn't match us though. They were pretty poor second half and the game had felt won since Rogers scored. We probably should have scored a couple more. It wasn't quite a case of a side being so bad, like Go Ahead, that we totally fell asleep, but out of nowhere Snacho gifted them goals and a belief that they'd never have generated themselves.

We deserved to win.

Of course we did.

We had a mad 60 seconds or whatever it was, but we were well in charge of that match and cruising.

And even then, even having fucked up so badly, we still managed to win.

Good teams win matches when you really don't expect them to.
