romavillan Posted September 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2012 Would have been a nice game to watch. Highlights (poor quality) cheers for that, followed it on the beeb on a phone in a restaurant up the road from here outside rome and NO-ONE could understand what i was so distraught and then excited about. fiorentina v juve was on int he place... so chuffed, we need to follow this with a win in the league but this is good. even a man city team with 10 changes in has quality all the way through it. we bossed the possession over 120 mins. something an AM side could only dream of.

briny_ear Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Welcome back, Gabby! (Our "fourth choice striker" as someone described him on the main board) Well done Zoggy - you've always been my favourite Villa player! And thanks Agent Barry. Your work really is done now, old git. Wouldn't half fancy a decent cup run now. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockport_Villain Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Just got back from the match. Fantastic result fantastic support Special mention for Delph who I thought was MOM. Didn't put a foot wrong all night with some fab interceptions and nice bits of skill. Honourable mentions to Bennett and Gabby who looked like the player we all think he is. Superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted September 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2012 Fantastic result! Sods law I missed this, feckin work :cry: How did we line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 well well well. I must have more belief in Villa you know - I have got so used to us crumpling after a bad result and not bouncing back like this. This is an even bigger win than Swansea, and we MUST turn the corner against West Brom. Gabby was immense, lets hope he keeps this up. I think Bent has just lost his place! This sets us up on a nice cup run now. Woopeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 At work, checking the tele text on the mobile. 2-2!?! I thought that we'd at least get away from this with our heads high. LAter on 2-3! Maybe we'll just get out on penalties. Then, 2-4. Couldn't believe my eyes. I think I told almost everyone at work that we'd one. What a great result. Love it. UTV!!! Glad for all those who could watch it. Must've been a wonder game to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I fully believed we would lose until that 4th goal went in. When it was 2-2 I thought they'd get a late winner before ET. When it was 2-2 in ET I thought they'd get a late winner then, and when it was 3-2 to us in ET I thought they'd get a late equaliser and win it on penalties.

Macca_UTV Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 just got back from the game. So proud to be a villa fan tonight. So happy to wipe them smiles off them horrible arrogant mancs. Think they have the right to win every game. Delph and Gabby were outstanding!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Ah remember this, just 18 months ago: Houllier said: “First of all, you play against a bigger team than ours. Sorry, Manchester City at the moment, and this is our challenge for the future, are above us.” Houllier then admitted that they could have nicked a draw at Eastlands before confessing that he did not much fancy a replay, presumably with Premier League survival still at stake. He said: “I thought we could have a draw there and if you draw you have to replay. That means you play Saturday, Wednesday, Monday and maybe Saturday. You have to take that into consideration.” Houllier was then asked if he thought his strongest team could have beaten Manchester City. His answer will shock Villa fans and should set alarm bells ringing at both Premier League and FA headquarters. Houllier’s response: “No. Honestly, no. It would have been difficult. I knew they would put their best side out and their squad is better than ours, but look at the figures. Look at the players they have.” Okay it was a later round, so City probably cared more & we had other concerns at the time, but even still it is nice we now have a manager who is not defeatist about such games. I'm certain even if we were in relegation battle, Lambert would never be so negative about our chances of winning a one-off cup match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Obviously delighted with the result, but we conceded the same goal again and it is starting to get worrying now. We seem to stand off the opposition when they have the ball 30-35 yards from goal and we are being caught out time and again with it. Balotelli scored with it tonight, Southampton tore us apart with it on Saturday, Brad had to make a spectacular save from Nathan Dyer against Swansea because we didnt press the ball and Newcastle scored with it too. It seems to be a real weakness that needs to be addressed, but it strikes me as it's something Lambert is aware of and is just a by product of something else he is asking our players to do. Does he think keeping shape there is more important? Am I just reading it wrong? It just seems that we are especially vulnerable to a player with the ball 30 yards out at the moment.

chappy Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Was at work and then was walking home as the game concluded with the internet on my phone broken so had no way of keeping track of it. **** GET IN though!! So happy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgs Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Kicked off at 0445 over here. Set the alarm which duly woke me. Thought about getting up... took in to account the opponent, venue and competition and rolled over for more slumber. Woke up again just after half time and nearly rose out of bed, but.... nup. So very filthy with myself but the result doesn't half quell the bitterness! Think I'll get up for the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Got to love that picture. *Edit: someone posted a link allready. Great picture but - if I can just introduce a small fashion comment here - the new shirts look incredibly ill-fitting. Hope we didn't pay too much for their design and manufacture. (Hope they can find one that actually fits Gabby, too.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
