Is the return of this iconic symbol with a spelling error necessary?
-
Why do u have to mention the mistake ?
Thats what gives it its magical and mystical power
-
I'm a pedantic git. Can't help it.
-
Definately
-
That should be definitely.

When did it last work?
-
Which one?
-
The main one.
-
No idea.
-
We haven't been relegated in any season in which the orange dot has been in use. It must be lucky.

We haven't won every game either. It's a jinx, burn the witch!

How about we keep the relegation-dodging orange dot for the rest of the season, and then research different-coloured dots for next year's treble-winning campaign?
-
Would it not be more appropriate to have a claret and blue dot? Or a fluorescent green one?
-
Marcelino you're new here. Lesson 1 don't question the dot.

How about we just stop believing in such superstitious mumbo jumbo? Anyway, touch wood we'll be fine as we have my lucky 1982 tackie top, plus the fish pie if things get really desperate.

When I saw it had returned, I immediately stood up straight, crossed my arms above my head, and slowly but purposefully began repeating: 'orange, orange, orange, orange, orange...'
We'll stay up I think.
-
We can't fail now. Safety is assured!
-
There's no spelling mistake.
Concentratre is from the Latin:
Contrare adv.
1) To f***ing concentrate on the f***ing orange dot.
-
Nonsense. I think we'd do better finding out where Sunderland are staying and banging pots and pans outside their hotel all night,
-
At the end of the first half against Manure I asked if anyone had seen the orange dot lying around. The mere mention of the dot directly improved our performance in the second half and United failed to score again. I rest my case.
-
Randy has an orange dot tattooed on his other ankle
-
I do believe in the power of the Orange Dot, but, for Monday's game and Saturdays game can we have the fish pie as well, just for some back up ?
-
I 'm all about the red dot now. And it's going to be alighting PDCs forehead.
Any members of the security forces watching may disregard this as a joke.
-
Anyone got their prayer mat out yet??
-
NEVER question the Orange Dot
-
Dont Diss The Dot !!!
-
All hail!
-
All hail the dot!
-
I touched the dot for the first time ever tonight. Make sure it's around this Saturday lunchtime!
-
Believe in the dot
-
Told you the dot was a load of superstitious guff!
-
All praise the dot.
-
Shhhhhh...... we don't want too many people to cotton on to this dot thing
-
Get your dot out
-
Lambert broke it.
-
but Tim said that, statistically, he is the best manager with the orange dot.

Bless you
-
If Villa have a problem, it's the number of crap teachers that support us.
-
I am going for a hike up in the Pyrenees today; I may be gone some time.
-
Can't we have the orange dot pinned to the back of the opposition goal denoting where the ball has to end up?
-
Assumption being that our lot could hit it?
-
Hoping some of the A3 directional arrows have made the journey North today.
-
Are you sure that's orange? Looks white and gold to me.
-
Are you sure that's orange? Looks white and gold to me.
Of course it's not, it's black and blue.
-

Just get it in the vague direction, the dot will do the rest
-
I've studied the dot for ten minutes and will do so again before the match and at half time. I fully expect to see herds of obese geordies leaving the stadium with 15mins to go.
-
It looks like the giant orange balloon they used in that series with Patrtick Magoohan.
-
I'm pinning this up in the dressing room.
Must win today, must win today....

Doesn't fucking work!

Doesn't fucking work!
it was working until the spiral thing counteracted it.

I think I put it upside down.

Easy mistake, but unfortunately one that has left our league status under threat. Fall on your sword.

Bugger
-
Don't put up something to hypnotise me and then say "bugger".
The missus is livid.
-
That's whirling around in ever increasing circles. I think you will find that Villa are actually going around and around in ever decreasing circles.
-

The missus is livid.
She'll get over it, in time.
-
I'd put the dot behind our own goal. Surely we'd go the right direction then.
-
I think the orange dot should be our new shirt sponsor
-
I feel I must defend the honour and integrity of The Orange Dot...the Orange Dot has been proved to have magical powers over the years.
Scientific research has proved that it has contributed to important wins, too many scrapes with relegation and has been behind many an important goal at crucial times.
That said, like any wonder drug and celestial being TOD has a limit to its powers and quite frankly one could justifiably understand it if TOD was to say "Sorry, this mess is beyond me"
That loaves and fishes thing may have appeared to have been some kind of miracle so could Peter Crouch getting off with Abi Clancey but do we expect any miraculous occurance being great enough to see us secure sufficient points to survive ?
Please therefore go easy on TOD there are limits to its powers.
Thank you...
-
I'd have the orange dot in the team ahead of Agbonlahor
-
Is the orange dot just another form of homeopathy.
Where the treatment is based on the memory of substance.
I remember us scoring a goal and even winning a long time ago and that memory lingers on but it doesn't mean that it works
Anyway I watched Pompeii with a baggie's fan and the God Vulcan spoke and Villa twice were mentioned and Albion not once. so 2-0 is the result.
Mind you the Villa collapsed down into the sea but we were still near the cup and nothing was mentioned again after the 75th minute
-
Wasn't the Orange Dot, Lee Hendrie's nickname?
-

The Orange C**k, possibly. (I like Lee)
-
I've not put my dog through the humiliation of his villa shirt in a while, perhaps that will change the teams fortunes.
-
Possibly the orange dot is exhausted from too much use-could it be bought off the bench in the second half as an impact player?
-
I can't remember the last time the Orange Dot did it's magic.
Looking back, the last time we won a game SoccerHQ started the Match Thread but it was a cup game, not the all important league game we have tonight.
League wise, we have to go right back to December when Toronto Villa started the Match Thread against Leicester for a win, though he obviously used up all his powers on that game as every other thread he's started since has either been a defeat or at best a 0-0 bore draw.
In fact, looking at the records of those who have started Match Threads, all have a tainted record... except one person.
Drum roll...
Step forward, PaulWinch again.. 100% success for the Villa this season whenever he starts a Match Thread. Okay, he only posted the one and it was the first game of the season away at Stoke but right now I've more faith in him than the Orange Dot.
Over to you, PaulWinch again. Do us proud.
-
Sorry missed it, but I'll say I did it in spirit!
-
You're banned.*
*For starting Match Threads. I'm now in the Dave Fan Club (Official South West Europe).
-
Change the colour of the dot?
-
Keep the colour and change the shape. A sweet potato comes to mind.
-
Change the colour and the shape. How about an ace of spades?
-
You may need to change it to a sausage roll shape
-
To inspire Gabby, you mean?
