My favourite line: I've been waiting for someone official to admit it for a while. Hopefully he's the man for the job.

Club statement: New Chairman. http://mobile.avfc.co.uk/default.aspx?s=news-display&aid=5273031

VP needs to get rocking on Saturday. Cold evening in the Midlands. Get the place rocking to the sound of the Villa and it might motivate them to get something. Same as Palace. If we win we win, all I want is the fight and for them to make the badge proud.

Come on Sunderland!

Sounds good. Versatile player so could push Richards out to RB or push Sanchez out. Good for a start but more please.

We should be able to use the confidence and hopefully put a performance in on Saturday. I learned a lot last night, as I hope Remi did. - Kozak is a much better player than Gestede. A few rusty moments, but the man hasn't had regular Premiership football in ever. - Cissokho going out on loan was a stupid idea. He put a shift in and is by far our best, fit LB. - Bunn should keep his spot between the sticks. He didn't have to make any saves yesterday, but I had a tonne more faith in him than I would have in Goose. - January doesn't have to be a spend it up feast. We just need precision. We played a good game of football, and with a more clinical, accurate, proven goalscorer spearheading the attack, we might have scored another. I enjoyed last night a lot. We don't need to spend billions this transfer window, we should need a proven striker and a good goalie. The rest would be good, but in my eyes, not urgent. Let's keep a lot of this team playing, motivated and let them find passion and flow with each other.

We won a game! I'm crying. I'm going to put my claret and blue back on, eat a steak and bang the missus. WE WON A GAME!

I'm shaking from nerves. Moet is on ice.

Sounds like we need subs.. Careful, skilful subs..

Oh God oh God oh God. We need this so bad. For our sanity!

I want another 2 to be comfortable. Until that happens I'll just wait for the inevitable.

Take the game to them. Look lively and as though you care. Even if you lose, we'll mark everything on effort tonight. Make the shirt and fans proud. Come on lads! UTV!

Was paying no interest. Then I saw the line up. I admire it. Really hope it works.

You say we have a squad of Championship/Low-level Premier League players.. That's why we're in this mess. I wish they were that good.

Probably now has enough money to buy the club. And sign himself.

Talk to me when he's unconscious in the street after a heavy night. Bacuna's of the few players who puts a shift in. Deserves a life off the pitch.

Obviously Guardiola is coming then. I don't condone sacking Remi this soon but hopefully Pep can get a result this season. Might be smart thinking from Rudolph.

Give Iwobi half a season at VP and he'll be more a 'I wonder what happened to that kid'

Probably not something Garde has ever experienced. He's never been involved in such a failing outfit. That being said, I wouldn't do what these fans did, but the frustration is understandable. There is no other way to show how you feel than on the day. There are no fan representatives meetings with the owner or direct communication. I get the frustration but there's nothing me or a handful of fans can chant to change it. Lerner wants out. Telling him to leave is a waste of time.

If we win, will the slight boost in confidence carry over to the prem - Who am I kidding, we're not going to win. It'll be a cup upset if we do.

We need a manager who is experienced in getting teams promoted. What's Paul up to these days?

He played the exact starting line up we all asked for. He made the substitutions we all wanted and we looked a threat during large periods. The blame isn't Garde's. People should stop looking for a quick easy point of blame and just wake up to the fact that the players aren't good enough for this league.

I'm going to the pub. I may be some time.

Something tells me this will be a quiet thread this evening.

Sunderland were shite, we were shitter and the ref had a howler. Sums up our season.
