What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

"I have had a conversation with him.

โ€It shall remain private as far as I'm concerned. If Nigel or sources close to him want to divulge what was said, that's up to him or them.

"That's how I'm going to end it."

Martin Oโ€™Neill on Nigel Reo-Coker.


"I would never take anything like that [team spirit] for granted, particularly in this day and age.

"I never have done as a manager and I wouldn't be foolish enough to believe that [would be the case] all the time, even when things are going well."

Martin Oโ€™Neill seems worried.


"Nigel is in the squad. There is nothing else to say.โ€

Martin Oโ€™Neill on Nigel Reo-Coker following their training ground bust-up.


"I don't concern myself about not being fantastically popular.

"I think it is important to have some distance.

"Players are in power and I will never begrudge the top quality player getting well paid.

โ€But when it is handed down to very average players who have that kind of power it can become a bit of an irritant."

Martin Oโ€™Neill doubles down.


"I think Guzan performing as strongly as he is, is keeping Friedel on his toes.

โ€Iโ€™ve got a lot of time for Guzan. I think he is going to become a real proper keeper. With him arriving at the club, Friedel is performing as strongly as ever."

Martin Oโ€™Neill on his โ€˜keeper options.

*Gabriel Agbonlahorโ€™s third-minute goal booked Aston Villaโ€™s place in the fourth round of the Carling Cup.*

Agbonlahor back-heeled John Carewโ€™s low near-post cross after Cardiff had clumsily lost possession in midfield.

Gabor Gyepes and Joe Ledley headed just over for Cardiff, and Jay Bothroydโ€™s late effort was ruled out for offside.

James Milner wasted a glorious chance to put the game to bed early in the second half when he hit the post from the penalty spot after Gyepesโ€™s foul.

For the second game in succession, there was no place for Nigel Reo-Coker in the Villa squad after a training-ground row with manager Martin Oโ€™Neil.

Cardiff included three former Aston Villa players in their starting XI, and it was a mistake from one of those Villa old boys that led to the opening goal.

Riccardo Scimeca was the culprit as his misplaced pass allowed Carew to race 40 yards down the right flank unchallenged before finding Agbonlahor at the near post.

The strikerโ€™s first-time back-heel flick gave goalkeeper Peter Enckelman - another returning to his old stomping ground - no hope.

Cardiff responded well as Gyepes and Joe Ledley headed just over in quick succession, while Gavin Raeโ€™s deflected shot warmed Brad Guzanโ€™s hands in the Villa goal.

With Bothroyd used as a lone striker, the visitors made the most of the extra man in midfield and caused their hosts plenty of problems from free-kicks and crosses into the box.

But the decisive touch was missing and the half ended with Stiliyan Petrov forcing Enckelman into his first save of note.

Villa almost started the second half as they had the first, but Carew could not match his strike partnerโ€™s accuracy as he headed an inviting Milner cross wide.

The visitors were then handed an even bigger let off on 58 minutes when Milnerโ€™s penalty hit the post after Petrov had been felled by Gyepes.

Cardiffโ€™s response was to send on top-scorer Michael Chopra from the bench.

The change had little effect as the meanest defence in the Premier League stood firm to secure victory, but they were thankful for a marginal offside decision which denied Bothroyd and the need for extra time.

*Aston Villa manager Martin Oโ€™Neill:*

โ€œI think that Cardiff were never out of it, and played some nice football, but we seemed to be in reasonable control, and I am delighted to have won and avoided another defeat in the competition.

โ€œAgbonlahor is on fire at the moment, he is playing brilliantly for us. He has got so much confidence now.

โ€œThe goal he scored was maybe the sort he would not have attempted three-quarters of the way through last season, but he has so much confidence.โ€
