Relegation
What they Said
"Aston Villa need this kind of thing at the moment like a hole in the head.
"Steve showed dissent to the referee and you can't expect to get away with that.
โI thought we should have had a penalty but Steve's action was irresponsible and reduced us to 10 men."
Graham Taylor.
