Great in the air. If it was 1986 and everyone still had a target man centre forward, he'd be the best centre half in the country!

After tonight hes two further places down the centre forward pecking order. Shame.

Weve put second string teams out against that sort of oposition in the past and come unstuck. Never looked like happening tonight. Jeez, these kids gonna be banging on the first team door real soon. Gotta find room for them!

We signed him for comparative peanuts and hes improved every season hes been with us.  I cant really criticise that.  Dont think he should be starting, but dont think he will when all are fit.

If he never scored another goal at Villa Park he could dine out on the banger he scored yesterday for several lifetimes. 

Funny enough I was thinking yesterday how many overhead bicycle kicks have been scored towards the North Stand??? I could only think of 3 off the top of my head. The first one I remember was Paul Davis(Arsenal) v Villa in 82/83 if I'm not mistaken. Think it was last home game of the season and we won 2-1 with Davis scoring a consolation overhead kick that the whole ground applauded. Then there was Benteke v Norwich and now Ing's. I can't remember any others but I'm sure there have been more??

Think i remember benito carbone getting one for wednesday

Actually surprised Bruce hasnt tried to take him to Newcastle

He's an ugly, bitter, balding little gobshite. Fits the profile of a bluenose. Maybe that's it.

I saw an interview with him a few years back where he said he always hated playing at villa park.

I assume we gave him some abuse at some point. Big baby.

Lots of west ham fans on twitter think we have bid. Theyre not happy with us. Which is obviously funny

I remember going to Goodson in the 90s. Midweek evening game, that deckchair green away strip, Neville Southall applauding us away fans at the end of the game for making a racket non-stop, and I mean, genuinely did not stop for a moment throughout the game. Anyway, we had a team that was mostly black players. I’m not sure it was 9, but maybe 7 started. I think we won 2-0, but it might have been a draw. I’m trying to recollect the the team in my memory. Brian Small, Earle Barrett, God, Yorkie, Dalian, Bozzie, Deano...anyone else remember that game?

Yes. Didnt we have midfielder called mark blake play that game too?

Also best crosser of a ball at the club!

I think we dodged a bullet with this. Know a few baggies and they think he is crap

All my baggies supporting mates think hes crap. I told them he was great for us. One of my mates said "yeah, but he was behind John Terry then"

Wait a minute. Jimmy Rimmer was understudy at utd and then pat jennings understudy at arsenal, before being villa's no. 1.

I want the kid off west ham. Just coz it'll really upset my west brom supporting mates.

What other examples are there of keepers that have spent ages on the bench then transition back into a Number 1?

There must be some.

Hart - Not Really
Heaton - Was he #1 at Burnley before he signed? If not it wasnt for long I guess
Begovic - That worked out badly for Bournemouth I think
Foster - How long was he a #2 for?

Youve missed out Gareth Bale? If that wasnt a "come and get me villa" plea last night then i've learnt nothing from football manager.

This is a good game! I like this!

Ian Olney?

Really like the look of Swift in the albeit little ive seen of him. Cant say ive taken much notice of Cash. 

Good news. We can stop worrying about Joe Hart for another 12 months.

The bournemouth goalie

Pretty sure we lost every time we wore that yellow shirt. Think the players decided they didnt like it

I remember having a corporate in the north stand against sheffield wednesday. He scored an overhead kick for them, and there was a sheffield fan and his little lad with us. Kids about 10 and gets proper mouthy.  Anyway, we won 2-1 me and the lad i was with (a west brom fan) were winding his dad up. The kid ended up crying.  Not sorry.
