cold indeed...we don't wear trousers here unless it gets to -15C.




Kidding off course. The worst I've been in here was -52C (with the wind chill) in Ottawa in 2002. So cold that your nose hairs would stick together as soon as you walked outside. But there's something about the English cold that just gets into your bones. It's the dampness that does it. Something I don't really miss.

It pissed down before, during and shortly after the West Ham game this season as well.

There was a Biblical proportion thunder storm half-way through.

Saturday wasn't that cold was it? Certainly first half when the goals went in kept everyone warm I thought. My youngest did complain of the cold when walking back to the car however!

The coldest i've ever been at a match was on a sunny day at Boundary Park in the early 90's. Bloody freezing it was.

As cold as I can ever remember being at a match. I lost contact with my feet about half an hour into the game. I think it was the wind-chill that did it. There was a bloke next to me with his young daughter, and the poor kid was shivering uncontrollably for most of the second half.

Liverpool last Christmas with the horizontal snow. I've even bought myself a thick waterproof jacket because I am sick of being cold and wet and at the Villa.

I should have been at that game with my daughter, but had to cry off, what with having the swine flu. I reckon the weather would have finished me off that night.

It seems every time I have walked out of Villa Park for about a year or so now the weather has been dreadful.
