At least Hanks will know what it's like to be a proper Villa fan now...

We should cash in our chips while his stock is still high.

Bin this guy. Too greedy and can't finish.

Would Cameron Archer be one of the best strikers in the Portuguese league right now? Probably.

Sell Watkins in the summer, get a proven goalscorer in and let Archer and Duran fight for the second striker spot.

I blame the idiot who made the video about Kamara being press-resistant because he certainly wasn't today. Jinxed it.

Let's face it, there's a slim chance we might get sucked into the relegation places. The only thing that has suffered significantly is the quality on our bench. Most of those players were surplus to requirements anyway. Aside from losing Ings it might prove to be a good window but we won't know until the end of the season when it's all done and dusted. Can't be arsed with all the panicking! We must have enough faith in the younger players to take the spots on the bench and it will be good to see them play as well. I'd rather have them there than some rubbish Championship level players who don't want to play for us. I think we will invest heavily in the summer, and the success of obtaining our targets will inexplicably be linked to our final position in Premier League this season.

Does anyone have a time machine so we can just skip the crap and pretend it's 1st Feb?

We've got time to make some signings now without it interfering with game prep, so I hope we can make the most of this opportunity.

Stop being a dick, Emery! (absolutely love the guy but been waiting to say that for ages and couldn't find the right time to do so)

If he doesn't get his work permit, can we loan him to Villareal and then when it's all sorted he can come back to play for the real Villa?

I thought this was John Duran....

This guy is going to hang around at the club for a while now, like a bad smell. Won't be shifting him I think.

Should change her job title to the EDL officer instead, sounds way more appropriate.

Been a fan since 1990 but for some reason I've leaned more heavily towards players that have been with us more recently. Laursen Grealish Martinez Yorke Benteke

We could have won that if Bailey hadn't kicked air instead of the ball twice.

Makes me proud to say that the best keeper in the world right now plays for us.

We wouldn't like it if other teams did it to us but we should embrace every tactic we can to see a game out because Brighton would have beaten us today if we hadn't done what we did and if Gerrard or Smith were in charge. It's all about marginal gains!

More like Earwig.

The only other manager we've appointed in our history that comes close to Emery's achievements is Houllier but he was way way past his best by the time he joined us. Emery is still only 50!

Never thought I'd see this much love for a Bluenose! If this is the only game he ever takes charge of then he should be very proud of himself.

Awful game, crap way to win and this probably means he has some credit in the bank to lose 5 on the trot and not get sacked. I sincerely hope not though, I can't stand seeing us serve up this crap every week.

Still out for me, but the next two games will be a test of his skills and if he wins both then maybe, just maybe, he might turn it around. I'm not fooled by one decent performance against a team that failed to put away their chances.

For the first time in ages, I honestly couldn't give a crap about a Villa signing.

Can we send them McGinn instead?
