Welcome. Hope you're more successful than the last few.

 

Is this what Alan Nixon was talking about or is there something else?

Yes this is what Nixon was talking about, what a crock of shit!

We were all hoping for a player to be announced and we get this bollox!

It's the worst January Transfer Window ever

I don't get Ayew and I'm struggling to see why people are so impressed with him.

Yes he puts in 110% effort and yes he wears his heart on his sleeve but why does he not get in the box?

Several times today there was a knock down or a ball across the box and he was no where to be seen.

I know people's opinions on Gabby but you can guarantee if played he would be in the box and on the end of these chances.

Surely it's time to give Gabby a chance?

He's no worse than we have already

Garde has always said he wants to build from the back and he is now doing that with the run we are on.

Unfortunately it is not enough as we need to start putting away our chances.

We don't need one Striker we need 2 and if Gestede has pulled his hamstring he will be out for at least 4 weeks.

It's sad that both Strikers we could have bought in the summer have both scored today (Austin & Afobe).

I'm looking forward to the rebuilding in the Championship but am not sure we will bounce straight back up

 

Off topic but I see Afobe has just scored again!

People laughed when I said I would love him at Villa, sad times for this great football club.

Sherwood wanted him.....

And yet again the board didn't back him! No surprise

Afobe has scored again, would have been a great signing for Villa.

Sad times as can't see us doing any business this month

Off topic but I see Afobe has just scored again!

People laughed when I said I would love him at Villa, sad times for this great football club.

We are not only desperate for a striker, but we are desperate for one with pace. 

Our team is simply not creative enough and we saw from that word removed Vardy that someone with pace can create chances for themselves and turn a bad pass, or hopeful lump forward into a chance. 

Given that we aren't going to attract a lot of players in our predicament, I'm warming to an earlier suggestion of the boy from palace, Gayle is it? 

Gayle would be a great shout as he has pace and can beat man.

With Ayew & Gestede/Kozak he could certainly help our goal scoring situation

Badly need a CM in asap

A CM with a bit of height and strength.

Gil, Westwood & Gana looked tiny today up against Leceisters midfield

Gestede winning every ball in the air. Needs a pacey little bastard playing off him

Could that pacy player be Dwight Gayle, Palace have said he can leave if its a permanent deal.

Always looks lively.

A front 3 of Gayle, Ayew and Gestede

Referee is a scumbag how the hell did he or the linesman not see the foul on Kozak

Charlie Austin for 4 million is a steal if you can keep him fit.

Don't see Long leaving as the rumour is Pelle leaving to go back to Italy.

Gutted we've missed out on Afobe & Austin 2 players I would have loved to see at Villa.

As for the Andre Ayew rumour if he goes for 10 million I would snap him up after all we paid 18 plus million for Bent when we were in the shit

If there is any truth in the rumour that Sunderland are going to be making a bid for Andre Ayew I would hope we would try a sneaky bid.

Would love to see the Ayew brothers playing in Villa shirts

What a game of football, I wasn't expecting to see a game like that this season and at long last Remi has all 11 players singing off the same Hymn Sheet.

If we can carry this very fragile confidence into the next game the only way is up!

Kozak needed 90 minutes and came close to scoring, imagine what he will be like with another 2 or 3 games under his belt.

Great Team performance and at last we've found our voice and are starting to fight like lions! UTV Villa til i die

Sensational 1st half every one of the players actually looks like they care and want to give 100% to the cause.

Play like this for the rest of the season and we may even win a game or 2 UTV!

Don't worry about the lack of activity at least we haven't just wasted 12 million on Shelvey.

The Newcastle fans think he will be there saviour hahaha

Gabby will be off to Wolves as soon as the Afobe deal goes through.

Knowing our luck we will have to give him a golden handshake as well

Just feel that Afobe would offer more upfront with Ayew than Gestede.

With Afobe going wouldn't surprise me if Gabby will move to Wolves

Ayew is fast becoming the fans favourite as he actually gives a S***!

Just a real shame he will be the first out of the door in May more than likely joining his brother at Swansea

Why is Fox not on the phone to Wolves to try and get Afobe, at 10 million he is a bargain considering we will be in the championship next season.

Pay 10 million and give them Gestede as part of the deal.

When are the board going to realise that Ayew can't keep the club up on his own

I like their manager seems a decent sort. Give him the job.

I was thinking the same thing, get Ainsworth in the coaching set up as Asst Manager and then when Garde moves on give him the Managers job.

Showed passion kicking every ball on the side line and his tactics were spot on.

I would get him I asap

I honestly feel sorry for those that have made the journey up to Sunderland, I take my hat off to you!

I turned off when we went 2-1 down as knew that was it and any hope of survival had gone.

What happened at the end with handbags?

It's a sad day in the club's great history but we will be back and we will hopefully be in a better position. UTV!

And that has just relegated Aston Villa FC.

Time to look forward to the Championship next season

Its sad times when we cant score against Norwich.

From memory is it only twice this season weve scored 2 or more goals in a game?

Scumhampton away was always going to be a tough game and on their day Scumhampton are a very good side. To get a point away after the 6-1 thrashing last season is definitely a step in the right direction.

Villa did a brilliant job today and its a well earned point! (As is said in last weeks Ratings & Reactions I could see us getting some points out of the next 3 games and we've started with a point) We are becoming a team with ideas and this is obviously down to Garde and the coaching being done at Bodymoor. 

Yes we rode our luck in the first 20 minutes but you could see the team grow in confidence and once the belief was there then they started playing football. 

Its a long road to get out of this position but I honestly believe that if we carry today's confidence into the next 2 games we could get another 4 points on the board which would help close the gap before the January window when unfortunately Mr Lerner we are going to need investment.

Arsenal at home next week is a huge game but you can guarantee Remi will have the team fired up as he would love to get one over on his former boss. I just hope we have a solution to the LB role as Bacuna will get ripped apart by Ozil and the like, perhaps play Gabby in front of Richardson as Gabby will track back to cover.

Keep the faith Villa will improve and will fight until the final whistle of the 38th game of the season!!!

Villa til I die UTV

I don't think I have ever seen the away section so empty!

It's sad times for AVFC if the away support drops in numbers
