Ugh that is the only time in my life I have punched a wall in anger.

He's not getting carried away - I like that a lot. Showing some class and not celebrating like its a cup final, unlike a certain owner who couldn't resist saying his club would finish above villa.

When does Whelan play?
-
I would take a point but I feel 3 points is within reach. They will get forward and attack at home which will open up space for Hogan to cause some havoc. That would be Marvel-lous.

I think Bruce learned well from the reverse fixture at St. Andrews. From memory we played Whelan in the middle and he got the s**t kicked out of him all game and didn't win a single header. When Jedi came on at ~60' that day we looked a different team and got a hold on the game. Really encouraged that Bruce opted to start Jedi this time even with BB being the inform player (as he is more similar to Whelan) and was rewarded with THAT performance. So nice to be able to rotate positions as required and not just trot out the 'best' 11 each week regardless of opposition style.

I'm hoping for Jedinak to start. In the reverse fixture we were bullied in the midfield and won nothing in the air until Jedi came on at 60 minutes. Our normal tactics don't work well against physical opposition who like to break up the play with fouls, as show by the Shef Utd game recently which was a slog until the wonder goal.

They sound Villa through and through.

If we go up this season Bruce WILL be manager next season in the premier league...people need to come to terms with this. To think the board won’t show loyalty after what will have been a complete turn around of the team is very very unlikely.
-
Did we see the down side to our loan policy at about 65 minutes today? Bruce making a double substitution in a game that was ‘won’ bringing on two loan signings who probably have minimum games/minutes clauses in their contracts? I thought that was a pretty bizarre decision which badly upset the balance of the team, so I’m wondering if there was more to it...or just a snafu from Brucey? Hope I am wrong! Good performance and win otherwise!

I must say I laughed when certain pundits said we could get consecutively relegated as our club was so badly run under Lerner, but Sunderland look to be heading that way under Short. The sale of the club was so important.
-
This really is a damn shame - can only hope they do not pick up any injuries, cards or general fatigue before our game
-
Clearly living on the good work of his predecessor. Now we’ve hit a bad patch it’s all gone to pieces. #GroundsmanOut

Call the ticket office and buy over the phone? It sounds like a website glitch.

If he wasn’t bleeding the club dry I would feel slightly sorry for Richards, and others like Rodwell. Almost constant injury has derailed both their once promising (yes really) careers to the point where they should really just retire. Presumably they only continue the constant nightmare of repetitive injury and recovery because they were handed long lucrative contracts. Be interested to see what they do when there contracts run out now that they can’t fool anybody that they are fit (literally) to play professional football.

Wonderful. We're going to sack 2 managers in one season for the second season running, aren't we?
-
Another brave away draw / loss beckons. Welling up with pride
-
Asked where he sees Villa in five years' time, Xia said: 'The top club in Europe with the highest number of fans all over the world.' When another fan quizzed him on what would constitute success this term, Xia said: 'Promotion is the first and only priority'. .... You can't really blame the fans for high expectations when the most optimistic rhetoric comes directly from the top down.
-
Full time was an absolute mercy.
-
What a f'in come down. I was so optimistic today after the signings this week. Have well and truly learnt my lessons about having expectations about Villa!
-
Lads, it's Norwich. 0-3 victory.
-
Time for Tish to step up with a big performance in place of Jedinak.
-
Poor Tish. What have they done to you!
-
I Havn't seen that brand of anti-football for many years since the heyday of Tony Pulis' Stoke. Whenever the ball was on the deck we drew a foul, blues lumped EVERYTHING long and eventually we gave up on trying to play it on the ground and started lumping it back, to zero benefit. In light of that, a point was a good result.

Could help reading this in Alan Partridge voice: "Scum, sub-human scum."
