Proud history, Bright future

[alanclare]

Read the history. Listen to the old men's yarns of days gone by. Forty years ago we were in the Third Division. Ten years later we were European champions. That's the delight of it all. The unpredictability, the depressions, the elations, the friendships forged in adversity and triumph. The great soap opera that is Aston Villa - and you have a part in it.


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Or is that the answer to the thread, "I wonder what Randy is thinking"

Jack Hayward syndrome is kicking in here already.  Unbelievable.

Rudyard Kipling - If

i have always thought rudyard kipling was full of shit! He was the one who had taliking panthers and bears isnt he! If is a desperate poem about possibilities!
I would prefer a poem about a chairman who got his chequebook out and a manager that does not see an image of Franz Beckenbauer in Richard Dunne! My 9 year old who was freezing with me at anfield last night even noted that richard dunne should not be given the ball to try and start playing so why the fuck can houllier not see it! Damn Shambles and rudyard can get fucked too!

There once was a man called Randy
Who wrote a cheque that came in handy
The next time we won
The manager dropped Dunne
And all ended up fine and dandy

I still back Randy but the board haven't covered themselves in glory since August tbh and they're probably getting the season they deserve for that.

Hopefully this is a wake up call, I expect quite a bit of money to be made available in january.
