Fantastic time to get a goal!!!!

Performance of the season!!!!!

They will need to change their game in 2nd half. Provided our defence don’t screw it up we could get another few here. Unlike the SB days we will stay on the front foot. Who is on our bench?

Our defence is shredding my nerves! Great going forward but at the back, especially during set pieces....!?!?!

Think it was from when he was putting on his makeup during three of N Forest goals

I was at the Spurs Villa game in 66. Tony Hately was massive in the game, scored a great header iirc. Pitch was a quagmire! Spurs were 5-1 up and we should have won at the death but ball got stuck in the mud. The late Alan Deakin also scored. An incredible game!

Couldn’t make it tonight as I had another event down here in Bournemouth and only had intermittent 4G. My son was texting me: 1st text: 0-2 down 2nd text; 3-3 3rd text: Tammy hatrick 4th text: This is crazy!! 5th Text: 3-4 6th Text: 4-4 Tammy!!!!!! 7th Text: 5-4 El Ghazi!!!!!!! 8th Text 5-5 I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING!!!

Thanks a lot!

Yes Michelsen, That would be great - Thank you!

That would good, thanks Dave

Mods, Apologies in advance - please move if this should be elsewhere. Hi All, In January my wife is going to work for ten days at an orphanage in Sattenapalle in Andhra Pradesh, India. When the boys (10 - 16 years old) were asked what they would like from the UK, they all said 'football shirts'. If you have any old Villa shirts for children that you would be happy to donate, please send them to my company: All you need to do is put my company's Freepost address: FREEPOST, EUREKA on the envelope exactly as shown and it will get to me. (No postage needed and you do not need put my name on envelope.) Please DM if you can help. A number of our staff have already donated several for other clubs and my wife will obviously be taking photos which I will submit when she returns Thanks Mike UTV!

My condolences to Mr Ellis's family. However, he was never "Mr. Aston Villa", and made a life of misery for a generation of Villa fans and I will not mourn his passing. I can think of absolutely nothing to thank him for. He refused to acknowledge the legacy of winning the European for 25 years. Got rid of some of our best players when we should have been building on our success. Destroyed Tony Barton. Refused to protect the historical integrity of the Trinity Road. Named a stand after himself. Constantly interfered in the football management of the club and failed to support managers at critical junctures. He took out £ millions but put little in apart from the pittance he paid to Bendall. He profited hugely through the club's share offering while ordinary supporters saw their shares plunge in value. paid himself over £20 million in dividend payments between 1998-2003. Took salary of over £4 million between 1985 and 2006. Made £29 million selling the club to Randy Lerner. He was only ever Herbert Douglas Ellis who viewed Villa as his personal cash machine and as means to boost his ego. Ta ra!

I am so tired of the **** we have experienced over the last 9/10 years that I would be happy to see Henry and Terry. Henry may get the best out of our attack/midfield and we know Terry’s motivational and defensive skills. That said we need defenders from somewhere whoever comes in.

Bruce MUST go!!!!!!!!

WTF is wrong with us? We dominate the game, then throw it away AGAIN!!!

Ref is really, really poor!

About time Dirty b*stard

Shocking from Nyland yet another self inflicted goal!!

McGinn was excellent! Need to desperately sort out the defence - Jedinak is a liability

I am currently in Italy, will I am be able get AVTV via my IPad?

I have had a couple of corporate season tickets through my business for quite a few years. My account manager has been chasing me to renew, so yesterday I asked her to let me know today what assurances I would have that the money would be safe or the tickets valid in the event of the club going into administration. She didn’t respond today as promised. I am assuming that as yet, they can give no such assurances.

I know Collymore can be full of shit but his claiming 'one employee' (Wyness?) was trying to get into club administration in order for another consortium to buy back makes some sense.

The number of £4.2 million in back taxes has been bandied about. However, it could be that the total money needed is significantly greater to meet running costs, players wages, bank interest. I would not be surprised if Xia needs at least £12-14 million to pay off the tax due and cover costs for the close season. I fear we are going into liquidation unless a white knight rides up!

According to the Daily Heil: “The club insist the matter will be resolved inside 48 hours - with an initial payment of £2m - but Sportsmail understands there are allegations owner Dr Tony Xia has failed to put cash into the club for three months, raising huge concerns. Xia is said to have been struggling to get money out of China following a government clampdown. It is said Wyness, in his duty to find financial alternatives, was trying to raise funds through minor investors but Xia reacted badly to advice and temporarily dismissed his top executive. In an alternative version of events it has been claimed Wyness was attempting to bring together a consortium to buy the club without Xia's prior knowledge. The Chinese businessman then found out and acted.” Which ever bit (if any) is true, we are basically in the sh*t!

“Billionaires” don’t need time to pay a £4.2 million tax bill.
