Do you want to bet against us?
« on: March 26, 2011, 10:27:11 PM »
This quote from Ron Saunders has been built up by some of us Villains so much that the circumstances in which it was said have been somewhat lost. In this brilliant season 1980-81 review by Danny Baker, there is footage of the actual quote (from 7:03 in):
&feature=related

It was said just after we lost 0-2 at home to Ipswich.

I am a bit drunk but I think the whole attitude of 'Do you want to bet against us?' should be taken into the last few games by the fans, and hopefully we'll beat relegation.

Up the Villa. Hic!

Would've been two all if the referee hadn't turned down the most blatant penalty appeal of all time.

Wish i'd been alive to witness this.  The boys should be sat down and shown this sort of thing to remind them of who they are playing for.  Not that i'd imagine they'd give a damn mind.

Awesome support on that last day. I've heard estimates of anything between 14000 and 27000 villa fans at Highbury on that day. Also supposed to be record figures for away support at an English domestic game. Can anyone confirm?
