Bookies made a fortune with all the favourites having poor results.

Aye... That is what I meant to say

Not how betting works!

Yeah... Said it the wrong way

 

[AirMo]

We have been terrible for years. Fixing it is going to take years. We are clearly moving in the right direction under Moyes. He was always going to try and fix the out of possession stuff first, it is what he is good at. Will we be consistent, no, we are playing in the hardest league in the world and everyone else is trying to improve too.

Yeah, this. I read a post a week or so back saying this time last year we were sacking Dyche and looking at relegation again. We’ve already come a really long way without actually changing a whole lot of the players. Moyes might make mistakes but he’s been excellent for us.

You can only beat what you can beat. But yes, you’re right, it is progress.

It was a snarky comment...not praise.

 

[Librarian]

Garner, O’Brien, Barry the stand out players tonight

 

[Mikey O]

Fantastic performance from all involved.

Massive plus is the goal for Barry but also the manner in which he scored; lofting it over the keeper as it show confidence and ability.

Everyone contributed including those previously heavily criticised like McNeil and Patterson. That said Ndiaye needs to come straight back into the team.

Well done Blues

 

[Melchizedek]

Disappointed I didn't get to watch the match. Very pleased to check and see that we won.

I am of the opinion that we alway have a chance, even when we don't have all of the favored 11.

It was a snarky comment...not praise.

So was mine.

We're investing in youth, with cheap unknown players. The exact thing people were asking for. Patience

Exactly, everyone was saying to fo a Brighton. This is what it looks like

Yep would add Grealish. Villa wave after wave and Grealish's wave after wave of free kicks.

 

[Blue 1]

Villa Park has been a bit of a fortress this season. That's a really decent result.

We deserved it, too. Fought hard for it.

 

[Ring master]

It was a error ridden game from Villa. So many mistakes and thankfully we took advantage of it for once

Yeah used to drive me mad all the free kicks he got when playing against us. Great when he's on our side. Also unreal that he got boooed
