I’m sorry but had to post somewhere. watching my team over the last 8-10 years has been a depressing thing, until last night. This isn’t meant to upset Liverpool fans but the Villa destroyed them last night. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Liverpool weren’t at their best but still, to concede 7 against my little team who only just avoided relegation a few weeks ago by 1 point. I was speechless. I know it won’t last but can I please have this moment? Thank you.
The only trouble with Villa is that they wear the wrong colours. Now, I get wind-up cards with my new niece wearing a Villa top! Yes. they deserve everyone's praise for doing Liverpool in such a classy way - they just need to change their colours!
change their colours, wash your mouth out sir! Change their colours indeed. I’ve never been so offended! (No, really I haven’t, maybe it’s because I’m thick or I just don’t care, I can’t decide)
And actually, thinking about it, I think that Villa may be my nearest Premiership team! Nothing going West to Wales and I have to go East about 90-odd miles to Stamford Bridge. Villa can't be more than 70 miles (We don't do premiership in the West Country!). I can't find sufficient enthusiasm to investigate further but I think that the chances of Bristol City, Swindon, or Reading getting to the Premiership are pretty slim! My closest club is Stroud (Forest Green Rovers). They are crap but sponsored by Stroud Ales - which makes them OK, by me!
Bristol City aren’t a bad side and have flirted in and around the play offs. Yeah come on, be a Villa fan, we need all we can get!
When West Ham had a "holiday" in the Championship, I did go and see them play City. They were very reluctant to give me a ticket as they didn't know me and saw it as a "dangerous" game. I did get a ticket in the end through a City season ticket holder. I was supposed to be in a "home" stand. Suddenly about 30 people around me got up and revealed their West Ham colours and all hell broke lose! They were all kicked out but I kept my head down! West Ham won!
I think yr getting us Baggies confused with the Yam Yams further down the road. I hate to admit being an Albion fan but Olly Wadkins has paid back his £28m fee back already. Boing boing
