That gives us a chance to build on back-to-back wins against Morecambe and Fulham by attempting to make it three wins out of three games by winning at Aston Villa this afternoon.
Positive? Yes although I don’t know why… The reality is that we’ll do well to get a point against Villa although as ever I’ll be over the moon if we manage to exceed my lowly expectations. Safety mode again, expect defeat and anything else becomes a bonus. How about that for sapping the positivity away? There is an actual positive though…
And that is the fact that we have almost a full squad to choose from. We could actually name our strongest team all at the same time for the first time in what feels like ages. Even Alan Pardew is claiming that he has a “selection headache” ahead of the game, which is more than likely caused by wondering how to shoehorn Jonas Gutierrez into the side at any cost! We’ll soon find out however as team news will be added in fully below as and when it becomes available.
If you’re looking for a bit more information and some background regarding the match then why not take a look at the match preview linked at the bottom of this article? It features news regarding injuries for both sides, some history and some stats and facts for you to peruse at your leisure.
That’s about it really. Now it’s up to our team to do the talking for us. Will they make us happy come the final whistle or will we be feeling deflated once again? We’ll soon find out.
Howay the lads!

Penalty 👿
Big Dave(Quote)
Ben Arfa got fouled that was a penalty !!
Munich Mag(Quote)
That looked like a pen.
We should score another here. We could regret it, late.
Stuart79(Quote)
MM Brooking was trying to say he went down 😯 noway
Big Dave(Quote)
EASY PENALTY ON BENNY
HBA39(Quote)
Have said it for so long now. He really is the weakest link in the team. He is not an optional outlet when going forward so we have to limit ourselves. We have the players not to rely on his (supposed) poaching. He is useless when he is not scoring. really Remy and Goof are a far superior pairing in truth and we should not need to have to carry Cisse especially if he cannot guarantee us at least goal.
Michael12(Quote)
that was a clear penalty
Big Dave(Quote)
Just seen the replay, might have been soft, but definite pen.
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
wow we look like a different team 2day. Our passing is slick..
mark(Quote)

Goal aside Benteke didn’t get a sniff.
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
Glory glory. **** you villa! Good play, was a bit shaky for a while there but we did well overall. Give Benny that new contract, was the most important thing we should have done in the summer as far as i’m concerned.

Phew. Chuffed with that, even if the ref did miss a blatant pen at the end.
I may well be on Ian Wright’s show on Absolute radio shortly; keep an ear out!

Aston Villa had 1 shot on target one goal so they can be very happy this result

8th 😆
mark(Quote)
What a win!!!!
Ben Arfa ran the show again.
Our fans were in fine form.
Krul had a bit of a **** game
Cisse was better but still not good enough to lead our line.
our 3 midfielders were all pretty beast. Anita has that starting spot cemented now for me like.
WHAT A FUCKING WIN!!!!!!!!! Yeeoooo

@The Kid

You and i have been fighting his corner since he arrived he was our best defender today like.
Santii(Quote)
Yanga MBiwa reminds me of P Albert. confident in the air. cool on the ground, takes his time and likes to get forward..
Sunderland bottom. Villa in bottom 5..
mark(Quote)
Whey, Hate villa with a passion so its always nice to get one over on them absolute cunts
P.S. Beat Hull and were on 10 points from 5 matches, I would have all snapped your hands off for that scenario pre season…
CC(Quote)
@Santi
He has always just needed time. He is a leader and a class act.
Very happy to see Anita keep his spot too. His passing is always so slick and measured.
Ben Arfa needs to be given a three year extension on his contract ASAP.
