MATCHDAY QUOTES
“Villa deserved to win.”
Everton boss and former Villan Gordon Lee.
"You can see good games like this every Saturday because we've been taking part in matches of this nature week in and week out.
“If they start changing the rules and regulations it will be a backward step, not a forward one.
“The problem this season is that although there has been a tremendous amount of good football played around the country the recession has meant it hasn't received the publicity it has deserved.
“They don’t see football like that on the continent.
“This is the best in the world.
Ron Saunders.
