Chelsea away. Best new years ever. Topped off with a cracking night.

Keane vs Wolves.

Bristol Rovers away.

And wigan at home.

Weimann's goal v Fulham. I wasn't even there, I was up a stepladder listening to the radio, but it's moments like that which are the reason I follow the Villa.

The applause every 19th minutes since Stan had to finish his season. And also the reception that the opposition fans have also given. It's great to see (and hear). I also thought that there was a great mutual appreciation between the fans for Fabrice and Stan during the Bolton game's applauses for both players. Touchingly observed.

On the pitch, not a lot. Chelsea away. Robbie Keane robbing us a win over Wolves. Some questionned whether Keano had enough impact on our points tally. Those 3 points may well be the difference for us. It was game we were struggling in and could easily have lost.

How's the broken neck by the way? ;)

Sums it up for me, both about Stan and the on-pitch affairs.

Winning at Norwich, staying up and AM getting the sack the next day.

It could happen!

Yes this'll be the day I also win the lottery and look down to find my old chap has doubled in size. Quite what I'll do with a 20 inch luncheon meat sword is beyond me though.

Taking one of my nephews to his first ever football match (Wigan) and seeing the lad transform from "quite liking Chelsea" to plastering the wall next to his bunkbed with Villa posters and scarfs and playing for his local footie team. We can say what we like about our shit season but the Villa can still fire the imagination of 8 year old boys.

Chelsea away and having a copper coming running into the toilets to tell me we'd scored a third.

I remember you telling me about that.

Were'nt you having a shit at the time?
