Come on give him a chance, I actually quite like him. He's trying hard to adapt to a big club. He's a nice guy and has a brave heart. He has also had a lot of bad luck this season.  His kids are also trying their best and have being thrown into the deep end.

Give him until the summer to get the act together and make a judgment at Christmas. If no good we can send him to the zoo in Dudley.


we dont want him, he wouldn't fit into our pride

Do I remember many years ago, the two mascots getting married on the pitch before some other 'bad' mascot tried to steal her and a chase around the pitch ensued? Or can I blame it on some particularly powerful disco biscuits I may have had the night before?

I have never seen Hercules and Dave Chance in the same room together. Coincidence? I think not.

I have no truck with these modern new fangled mascots dressed in furry clothes going round patting our junior followers on their heads and gawping at their claret and blue painted faces.  When I was a kid at Villa Park I didnt need a mascot coming round and my Dad taking a picture. I had a rattle and rosette, later I had a thin silk scarf which had to keep me warm at wintry games in January. I can put up with Sky taking over the game and paying £45 for away games but these mascots having been pissing me off too long - Sack them now !

Oh, and while we are about it if we do want some sort of iconic image to worship which contains all that the institution known as Aston Villa Football Club represents then bring back The Villa Villain !

I've still got him on my key ring. These modern mascots are just big pussies. (Am I allowed to say that?)

Could I say that to Bella or have I got the wrong thread?

No, that did happen.

Only two half-times stick in my memory. The lion wedding and the fall of Santa.

What happened to the old lion that gave Bella away ?

All we get now is the hamster-ball racing
