Gabby MOTM Gutsy performance, very pleased with the result, even though we were 2-0 up. We all knew they'd come back, it was always going to be about not losing, and we didn't. Massive away point at a top club, 2 goals on the trot for Benteke, Weimann's best game this season, Bertrand very good, Holt fluffed his first chance, but he was probably feeling pressure in front of the Villa supporters. A turning point?

Didn't see that coming...fantastic first half until the end, maybe the best I've seen us play this season. Totally bossed them all over the pitch. But I can't help but think we are going to be punished in the second half. We may see Holt on for Gabby straight away, too.

Zappa taking the piss-

Very sorry to hear that, Daz. My old man was diagnosed with Stage 4 Small Cell lung cancer back in September. He's been in chemotherapy which has given him extra time, but his time is starting to run out. He will die soon. My understanding of prostate cancer is that it's very treatable? I hope this is so, and that your father has success in treatment. Take the time to tell him things that you might have thought too sentimental before, let him know how much he means to you. Even if he he comes out of it fine, he'll know how much his son loves him, if he doesn't already. I hope your grandmother is ok too. Wishing you all the best

Jermaine Defoe and Michael Bradley to Toronto...

I have to admit I've never heard of him, but he sounds decent enough. Would prefer a permanent deal though, instead of these rinky dink loan moves...

Fair play would be worth a shot for 250k... I mean what can we lose? 250k

FIFA should take note of what's happening at the Australian Open right now. Even the ball boys are collapsing with heatstroke. I wish all the federations would boycott the Qatar idiocy and demand a switch of hosts.

3-0 to them

Is this wildcard only good through January?

Besides the ripoff ticket prices, the Super Bowl is probably the worst playoff game to see live, cuz 1/3 of the seats are scooped up by corporations and sat in by people who don't care who wins. And usually the game is played in a dome or in sunny warm weather. The conference championship games are the best. Give me cold, ice, rain, wind, and fans that bleed their team's colors.

I need some good old fashioned VillaTalk expert medical advice. I have sporadic sharpish pain in my right hand, and it radiates up my arm as high as my shoulder...it's not terrible, but it's a bit annoying. I can't recall doing anything to hurt it... Any theories, docs?

The difference now is you no longer play in the Kingdome. Your stadium now is what I consider to be the best stadium in the league, and you guys have surpassed Arrowhead as the loudest in the league. You will win this game, the pressure and noise will get to Kaputnik.

What's the tune that is sung to, I hear it at every game these days

I wonder what the over/under on player deaths will be?

Fantastic stuff!

I as Villans fan, would enticement be Defour on loan. The average Belgium closely toward English club, should we not?
