Great result marred by stupid idiots masquerading as Villa fans (probably noses).

Way, way more effective than Cissokho going forward - maybe Lowton needs to be deployed as a left midfielder in a 4-4-2, if that's what Sherwood wants to stick with? He has good energy and shows a bit of doggedness and determination. Very good at crossing the ball, shame our regular full backs can't cross like this guy, although they can defend well, so there's a balance I guess...

Hope he doesn't play for us again.

Strip that idiot of the captaincy, he's not worthy of representing our great club.

Stupid idiot.

I can't really get a definitive answer from the last couple of pages, but was the video genuine? I'm guessing if he's been interviewed then a deal is in place (barring any very very last minute hitches)?

Interesting topic - I think it's good that the club have allowed this meeting to take place. Hopefully it'll be a constructive one from which they'll implement some improvements to their (currently) quite poor service... For me personally, I've only ever really used AVTV during pre-season, to gain access to new player interviews or streaming of games. Outside of this period, however, AVTV is definitely not worth paying for, since the content is quite bland, of poor quality and doesn't really tell you anything different to what you might get on your mainstream websites like BBC Sport. I think the whole thing needs a complete revamp, new presenter(s), new presentation/graphics, new and more exciting types of content. Captain Jack, as endearing as he might be at times (something that's up for debate...) isn't really someone that likes to ask (or isn't allowed to) tough questions, or at least ones to elicit interesting information. Maybe he'll do well with a co-presenter, but there's definitely a lack of personality coming across. I'll reinforce the point made by someone else earlier about the presentation on videos coming across as dated, and I'll agree with that. It's just middle of road, and utterly bland. It could be argued that some Youtubers that are fresh out of school can present their material way better. We're obviously paying someone too much. Video quality is also damn poor for an organisation that turns over millions of pounds every year - I mean, just get a better camera! (can't be a problem with encoding...) The most crucial and important point is about the content itself... Now, we all know that Premier League footballers are multi millionaires that are detached from the rest of society. Producing videos that maintain the status quo isn't really a great thing. I think fans would appreciate these guys putting across their "human" side more, and especially their personalities. Heck, it might fail completely but why not have players interviewing other players (or perhaps use some respected ex-pros to do it). That would be pretty cool. Behind the scenes stuff, historical features/mini documentaries on the club (researched and done properly), stuff like that would be much more interesting than what we have now. My final point is regarding the delivery platform - Youtube is certainly a more visible and accessible platform (especially globally) than the club website. It would be interesting to see how many people actually pay for AVTV outside of season ticket holders. It can't be all that much, probably enough to cover Jack's wages... It's certainly something that should be explored.

Good draw, could have been much worse I think. I'd put Leicester and Bournemouth on par with each other in terms of talent and ability. If we can beat Bournemouth quite comfortably and create a decent amount of chances and put TWO of them away, then we should be able to do the same against Leicester - think this could be our lucky year.

Like Antonio Luna? Except the ones called Antonio. You know what? I totally forgot about him!!! Bloody Tony Moon.

Welcome Carles! Do we only ever sign Spanish players that have a name that is either Carlos or Carles?

That Albrighton guy is doing alright for Leicester... we should buy him...........

Seems like it's we're going to take The Long and Winding Road if we're to Get Back to where we once belonged.... but right now It's All Too Much for me to take.

We need a Revolution... of the #10 variety, forget the #9!

If he's not going to start against Palace then I don't think we'll see him start this season in the Premier League.

I wouldn't shed a tear if a Championship club came in for him next month.

Don't think the red will get rescinded as the ref will argue it was a dangerous two footed challenge.... So that means we're without Delph and Westwood for the next few games. Richardson is back soon and we still have Cleverley..... FFS!

Sanchez MOTM and honourable shouts for Grealish and Bacuna for making us look a bit more threatening going forward after Delph was dismissed. Cleverley and Weimann both need dropping, urgently.

Benteke decided to back track to the edge of the box instead of staying around the six yard area, which is where Grealish played the ball (and what a good ball it was too).

Vergini sounds like vagina... *giggle*

Ooh ooh Grealish alert.

What has zog done in this half? I wasn't too impressed first half tbh. Created nothing. Was the right change for me He's been more effective than Weimann, that much is certain. Weimann needs to come off!

Lambert needs to go to a better optician. He obviously can't see which players are playing decent and are the ones that aren't....

Bacuna coming on... thank god. Hopefully for Fatty Weimann.

If we lose this now....

"I feel like joining in with the boos, to be honest" - when the commentator says that, you know it's been a poor half.
