Villa post match thread

[Kinell]

riera's finish was world ****ing class.

to hit a dropping ball with topspin and have it get up and drop again within the distance he had to goal was just stunning.

Nearly as good as Keane's against Arsenal.

His performance today was of a player re-born. Fantastic to watch.

1pt off when most thought it would be 7. Down to the wire this one.... We have the easier run in and better goal difference

[pondus]

Buzzing!! Great game today, Gerrard is the new King!

What a ****ing steal Mascher is at £18 mill

Arbeloa, what £3.5 mill?

Aurelio!!!!

Agger is back, and Carra + Skrtel is rock solid at the back

Reina! Fantastic save from Carews header. He is a tiger

Riera finding form again? Great game!

Kuyt, brilliant, so important for the team

Alonso, pass master indeed

Gerrard, well what can you say? THE KING!

Torres, bit of an off day I thought, but good nonetheless

Rafa, best there is

I'm a very happy man as you may have noticed

Glad we give villa a good fu*king spanking, top 4 team my arse! Im hoping us doing that to them will give them a kick in the arse and they'll go to united well up for it and hold out against them, unfortunately villa usually let everyone down!

Get the **** in .

Massive win, got at the from the start. Great to now be ahead of Manchester United on goal difference as well, just over a week ago when Ronaldo put them 1-0 up we were 13 behind!

My housemate supports Villa, he was at home today so with 15 minutes left I text him saying he ought to check the Villa score and he replied saying the ref "obviously supports Liverpool" I told him it wouldn't have mattered and he said all our goals were lucky and I shouldn't be supporting Liverpool anyway, because I live over 100 miles away .

Bare in mind I once had to tell him the score when Villa beat Arsenal. Going to be fun when he gets back tomorrow...

See martin O'neil has not been interviewed by sky sports! Oh yeah just thought i would say i ****ing hate Chelsea and their scumbag fans with a passion! They are as bad as Mancs and i hope Roman leaves them high and dry.

I thought they would have been 10pts?

Lovely game and the momentum we now have should make things very interesting. I'd like to raise the issue of Sky TV, specifically that they are a stain on the name of broadcasting. Keys is a strategically shaved monkey. Did anyone else hear his quip re: Rafa's wind? Am I overreacting? Possibly. [censored].

The nadir was referring to the Benitez press conference as a rant. It's been consistently downhill from there. Watch him suck a lemon if he has to pundit Gerrard lifting #19.

Back after the break the Fulham games been moved to the saturday with United playing on the sunday. We can go top for ****s sake. I never thought we'd be in that position again this season after the 'Boro game. Immense

Thats becuase of sky HD mate. They have to shave him.

Massive win. Great for our confidence and even though I don't think we need Barry, he must want to join us now. Bit sad for Friedel as it was a harsh sending off I thought. He will miss the United game but maybe our players could have urged the ref not to send him off? Not sure.

Riera had his best game for us. He tormented them and is definitely a confidence player. Some of his touches were incredible.

Kuyt was Kuyt, hard working, woeful first touch, but smashing finish for the goal.

Thought Alonso was imperious! My MOM, dictating play and conducting the game like an orchestra. Some great tackles as well. He is just so important to the team.

Masch was fired up, Arbeloa looked like the right back we crave getting forward. I thought Torres and Gerrard were relatively quiet actually!!! Nice to see the others step up. Great to see Agger back and he looked comfortable.

Still not sure about Lucas and NGog, they didnt have much time but I thought they were completely off the pace when they came on. Lucas needs to impose himself on the game if he is replacing Xabi. Instead he takes the safe option. Interesting that Babel wasnt on the bench. El Zhar was ahead of him!

That was our strongest first 11 starting out. Shame about the international break. We could have done with this run continuing.

better than keano's but quite similar i think. keane just buried it whereas riera's was a more intricate and classy finish

Who cares now mate it is down to 1!

[kev776]

Quiet reserved satisfaction.

An excellent display.
