We won on penalties 3-3 (two goals from diouf, and a penalty from macheda), and then won 3-2 in the penalty shootout, with foster saving two and scoring one himself.

Ole is proving to be an outstanding success. At the very least he should be in the frame as assistant manager when Fergie leaves.

Yeah I went, Diouf scored twice but missed a few also, was a good game. Foster was excellent on the shootout, when I saw him go to take one my initial reaction was- "What the fuck" then he booted it into the back of the net then saved the next one.

Were Diouf's goals any good? I've been wondering why he hasnt been playing for the first team, or even been on the bench recently. And how bad were the misses?

It was a pretty entertaining game, I actually thought in the 1st half that Villa could quite easily win but our goal just before HT sorted us out a bit. Good spirit from the team and they are deserved winners in the end. Well done to Ole and all the lads this season. Kozzie he had a couple of one-on-ones with the keep that you know he should have done better with because he had a bit of time to take it. But both his goals were well taken, especially the 1st one.

i managed to get down yesterday i was sat right behind the macheda family lol kiko was our man of the match, tho i had to put up with sum dick head giving diouf abuse for most of the match because to be honest he missed a shit load of chances he should of buried most of which were one on ones he scored 2 but he should of scored 5! everything he done was right it was just his shooting that let him down, was great to see him shut that fella up by scoring just before injury time, because when villa scored in the 82nd min i think it was everyone started to walk out (muppets) but then kiko laid a great ball off to diouf who could not surly miss another point blank range effort, was sad to see obertan hobble off after being on the pitch for about 5 mins, gotta give it delfonso for taking his chances well haha was funny to see him at the end with his william gallas like strop after his shocking pen! as for the pens well gotta give it to ben foster lolol i was sat next to the family stand with all the youth team and younger players and when he smashed that one in boy did they enjoy that lol then he saved the next 2 pens haha quality he did fuck up for their 3rd goal but hopefully fergie will give him another chance and he can become our new pen taker

Searched everywhere for a stream but to no avail... Had to make do with following the updates on twitter... Anyway, well done to the lads and esp Ole who has had an outstanding start to his managerial career... Looks like Kiko set-up all three of our goals and should have had more but for Diouf's not so great finishing... btw, what a pen by Foster...
For those interested, there's a video of all the goals and the shootout as well as a photo gallery from the official site...

Nice to see that the club is consistent with its treatment of its "customers"
And to think some people are still going to renew with these people in charge.
The mind boggles.

Yeah his two goals where quite good, his first was the better of the two. His finishing was lackluster at times and I counted at least 4 chances that he should have put away that he didn't. Not taking anything away from him though, he proved with his two goals and his positioning he has the potential. The reason he hasn't been on the bench or first time is he's been injured for a month or so I think.
