Ratings & Reactions: Villa v sha

[blunther]

I thought dropping Bjarnasson was harsh, and putting Jedinak in would be lowering ourself to their level a bit. Wrong. Jedinak wo absolutely everything today, but obviously can’t look past Grealish for MotM. Everything good we do goes through him. He and Albert seem to have a lovely little understanding. Great day.

I had a touch of the man flu this weekend, but at 2.00pm felt instantly cured?   The healing qualities of Aston Villa never ceases to amaze me!

One of the best games I've been to in ages.

Wasn't always pretty, when we had to go back to basics we did and fought hard.

But we turned it on when we needed to and apart from about a 10 minute period, we dominated throughout.

 

Grealish MOTM. Best performance he's put in since the FA Cup Semi.

Well done to those who went the atmosphere seemed absolutely fantastic. We don't need flappers to build a atmosphere losers.

A brilliant occasion with an incredible atmosphere. Jedinak was outstanding in the first half when the heath still looked like they thought they could do something. The weight Grealish puts on his passes is perfection, it's incredible. Graft, courage, quality and an amazing goal - a beautiful day and a lot of credit should go to the manager. Part of the pride indeed.

Horrible video here.  I watched the whole match.  Missed every card, every goal and about 20 min of second half.   I enjoyed what I saw, but anybody got highlights that can be viewed abroad?  (Sky highlights won’t show). Thanks in advance

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.

Post of the season.

I see your Tweet about this(*) is also top of Tweets about Steve Bruce! Over 3,000 likes so far. 

(*)I assume it’s your yours unless someone has plagiarised your post.

We've only got one mouthy nose at work. In years gone by I've usually had to deal with 3 or 4 after a game. That said he's so very mouthy he makes up for 3 or 4. He usually walks up to me once a year offering to shake my hand then saying Happy Enkleman day. 

I am so looking forward to totally ignoring him tomorrow and acting like the game never happened. He won't be able to resist sidling up at some point though.

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.

who on earth would try stamping on the Jedi when stood next to John Terry

Image of the season without a doubt.  What an emotional rollercoaster it's been so far for all of us.  I hope Steve gets a better nights sleep this evening knowing that he's made a helluva lot of people happy today.  Thank you for all your hard work to date Steve.  UTV

The KRO match thread makes entertaining reading.
