Leicester v Aston Villa - 7.15 pm Sunday 18th October

[McParlandTheGreat]

Impressed. That's what I call a mature win. Ground it out against a Leicester side who we know can be dead dangerous. Didn't let them in. Kept up the pressure. Got the goal when it mattered.

So, Lawro, this was when it was all going to come crashing down?

 

[Villan57]

just fantastic nicked it at the end but what a performance, we looked like a proper team

 

[Divine_islet]

Just one top drawer addition to the squad in Barkley and we do that. Hard not to get excited about next season's transfer window already and this will excitement will only get stronger as the season progresses assuming we continue playing well right until then.

And even I wasn't around for that!

And me neither.

 

[Bikini Inspector]

We are going to win it all. We are back.

 

[Fulford]

Best GD in the league too.

 

[Bonker]

Another clean sheet too!

Drink it in:

 

[BobVilla]

Gave them a damn good thrashing!

 

[danvilla2]

I think the Hourihane or Barkley is now well and truly dead?

It’s absolutely quality that for 90 minutes, Ross has kept shape, put in a defensive shift, won balls and tried to get from box to box without much luck but give him one chance to open up and get a shot off and he finds the back of net.

This is the Ross Barkley I remember from Everton, what a player.

 

[sirdennis]

We are 10 times the team we were last season

Just said in a text we are unrecognisable from last season.

 

[Villan57]

And even I wasn't around for that!

are you sure John

 

[Villa 4 Ever]

Chelsea will be looking at this game like agent Barkley taking points away from their competition, We're going to miss him when we're against them.

 

[ironside]

It reminds me of when we ground out wins in ‘81. Anybody remember the game against the Baggies?

 

[DeanoVilla]

Smith Out!

 

[Fulford]

We were easily the better team.

 

[gdav]

What a time to be a villa fan!!

What a signing Barkley is, hope we can keep hold of him.

 

[Melon Donkey]

Just said in a text we are unrecognisable from last season.

I can confirm this on all counts.

 

[Villa 4 Ever]

Traore did well coming on, holding the ball up well and finding a few nice passes.

 

[gator]

Tell you what though.

We've hardly been great, but Leicester haven't really troubled us and we're all a bit fucked off because we should be winning.

Isn't that progress?

Massive progress

 

[Fulford]

We are winning games that we could only dream of winning last season.
