Ratings & Reactions: Villa v sha

[MikeAVFC]

Fabulous performance from the team, particularly Jack though. His best performance in a Villa shirt. Bursting with pride, we're going to do this!

Worth another look at this, I think...

One of the images of our season was Steve Bruce crying after the first goal.  In the last two weeks his Mom has been hospitalised and his Dad has passed away, but today he got everything absolutely spot on.

When Sky showed this, I cried with him.  What a massive effort he's put into this football club.

Yes, that was a very emotional moment.

Seeing John Terry celebrate like that at the end brings a tear to my eye.

Say what you like about him off the pitch but on it he is a leader in all aspects, his passion for winning games is unreal.

Colin Calderwood just confirmed: "the ball doesn't know we've won seven in a row", so it's 50/50 if we win the next one still 

 

Thanks Colin for clearing that argument up, might need to be quoted again for the next pre match thread, whatever it might be called

Superb performance. Always looked like we were going to win. Birmingham were very poor - we were really up for it and right in their faces from the off.

Grealish MOM but everyone played their part.

Second is ours to lose.

Probably the best performance I've seen Villa put in since i've been a member here. Played some great football and solid as a rock defensively. Looked every bit like a team who are going to gain automatic promotion. 

When I saw the team sheet I thought the manager got it wrong with the inclusion of Jedinak but he was absolutely immense today and its the best i've seen him play. Kudos to the manager for that.

Grealish put in the type of performance that truly belies the fee Man City were going to pay for Mahrez. Reminded me of Chris Waddle at his best and thats some compliment. Villa will need to go up to keep Jack and even then if he keeps playing like that Pep will take notice.

The city is ours.

Was a bit  worried we were creating a fair few chances but not taking them. Then when Terry slipped over and they hit the post I actually started to relax a bit. In the past those chances always seemed to go against us but after that we really didn't look like conceding. 

Glad NDoye got a red at the end. Didn't look like he did much wrong there with Jedinak but he deserved a straight red earlier in the game for stomping in Grealish's leg. 

Can't go past Jack for man of the match, but Jedinak was just about the best I've seen him for some time.

I'm out of likes ffs, it's been that kind of day.

[pacbuddies]

For the first time since we hammered them 5-1 I watched a derby game totally relaxed and never once felt that we would lose it. A solid team performance all around.

[Harry]

Only disappointment for me was not being at the game today, on holiday:( 

Mind you my son came home from Uni specially for the game. I think I brought him up properly.

[TheAuthority]

Oh and a special thank you to the folks at ESPN in the US who forgot to turn the feed back and kept looping ads for the first 20 mins of the 2nd half. You absolute bunch of cockwombles.

I wonder if Harley Dean still thinks that he signed for the biggest club in the city?

Absolutely massive result! These guys are not cracking under pressure. We're going up.
