Ratings & Reactions: Villa v SHA

[NeilS]

Always good to win, especially against that lot. It is rarely a pretty game, except the 5-1 of course. Happy to win again after a few bad results.

On a side note, as the players are running off to celebrate the goal in that clip, look out for their number 4 (Robinson I guess judging by the other photo) taking a swipe at Chester.

Tony Morley just made an excellent comment on the radio (Not verbatim) "If you need a player to come on after 70 minutes to make a tackle and put some effort in, then something is wrong"

GAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYY!

Redknapp moaning that their keeper didn't have to touch the ball second half. He did when he picked it out the net didn't he 'Arry!

Saw that. Red card if the ref saw it, looks like he went to punch him.

TBF i don't think he realised he was there. Just swung out in anger and caught him, seemed to apologise/aknowledge him straight away

I think he kicked out at his legs as he ran past to celebrate, although you are also right that his arms were swinging as well.

It's great that we won, and despite all that's gone on with him I'm genuinely happy that Gabby scored. But what happened with the rest of the match? Why did it take Gabby coming on to put some fire in their bellies?

Haha, I thought I was a miserable word removed until you turned up!

Just got back. Put bluntly we were dreadful and Blues were worse. But a win is a win and against Blues it sure is sweet.

How much do you earn a week Gabby? 

Oh hang on - you got the winner against blouse? 

Heres a pay rise  

UTV!

It was a derby against the blosers. I've seen more dire matches in that series than I've had hot dinners. You don't normally get El Clasico.

Not a selfie unless one of them has a really long invisible arm

You don't know what a selfie is, do you ?

Graceless word removed Mr Candleface has had a word with the media:

'“They’ve not had a shot in the second half – apart from the goal. It’s the only one they’ve had,” said Redknapp.

“You can’t say Villa were good. If that’s the best they can do, Steve’s clearly got a lot of work to do.'

**** off you pleb, we won.

That was the most drab quiet Derby of all time.  

Gabby comes on and bam!  As soon as he chased, smashed that ball into touch and won a throw the place came alive!
