Our Aston Villa fans here in the Transfer Tavern have got big smiles on their faces at the moment after they beat Birmingham City in the derby yesterday at Villa Park.
The Villans went into the game as favourites, of course, with the Blues struggling down near the bottom of the league, but they still needed to perform in a typically vociferous atmosphere.
And, of all people, it was Gabby Agbonlahor who reminded us he can still play football with the winner for the home side.
The striker has been widely criticised in recent seasons for the way he has seemingly let Villa slump without him really doing anything and so, naturally, fans were quick to react to his showing yesterday afternoon.
Here, then, is the best of the reaction:
