Wadey: Sweet relief at last.. I am not sure I have felt such a sense of relief since I last had a burst on my banjo.

Obviously, a win would have been fantastic but the fact that it was what they call a wonder-strike, gave us the excuse to claim that Villa did well enough to win all the points, and only Holman's tired legs and Ben Arfa's outstanding technique, earned Newcastle a point they might realistically feel grateful for.
