Those Villa fans that sung "We'll meet again at Carrow road when we relegated them will have a bit of egg on their face if we fuck it up".... No dignity in that...
That's part and parcel of being a supporter. Nobody can win every game. The dignity bit comes with people's behaviour if the worst thing happens.

 I like the sentiment, but I am struggling the reality of our posiion. there is no dignity in being relegated.

I sang 'we'll meet again' at Norwich with gusto. It would be pathetic to start raging at their fans for returning the compliment. That is my view.

I thought you believed we could not go down.

Warm-heartedness reinforces our self-confidence – giving us not a blind confidence, but a sense of confidence based on reason. When you have that you can act transparently, with nothing to hide! Likewise, if you are honest, the community will trust you. Trust brings friendship, as a result of which you can always feel happy. Whether you look to the right or the left, you will always be able to smile.

Can we have the Dalai Llama as our next manager?

We will have to totally give up possession(s) if we do!

Imagine no possession
I wonder if you can
No defending from corners
No picking up your man
Imagine the opposition scoring all the goals

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope for another three points
But at a push I'll live with one

 ;D V.G. But I think you got the wrong thread Damon.
And it should be 'live with nil-one'.

I didn't think we would go down but it has become more of a possibility as you know.
