What have you done to help the Villa?
« on: April 28, 2012, 11:39:35 AM »
This morning I put my right sock on first - something I havent done since the Enkleman debacle. I've also emptied the dishwasher top shelf first.

Come on Villa.

I have pledged to buy ONE Aston Villa mug for every point gleaned during the last three games. It is on Twitter so it must be true.

Drew a little orange dot in my planner on the bit that's for 3pm today.

I'm not a religious man, but I'm going to say a short prayer prior to kick-off.

I've tried a sartorial change as well, turn ups on my jeans.

It's the little things.

It might prove to be too late but I'm going to go back to parking where I always used to up until a few years ago.

Immediately after the famous Russian Exchange game (when they sent a team of top students over here and we shipped class 4b off to Moscow) I made the decision to start cutting back on my Villa outlay. So for the Stoke game I abandoned the £10 a time car park and found one for a fiver. Since then I've been cutting back every season and I now park in a dodgy back-end street and let a little ginger-haired lad mind my car for a £1 a game.

Watch is on the right arm because it's an away game. It has been thus since about 1998. We'll say it has been a 'hit and miss' strategy.

I've shook like a shitting dog since I woke up at 5:30. I haven't done that since the last game.

Spent an hour defrosting the freezer with a kettle and hairdryer.  Up the Villa!

Ignored Jeff and the boys' jolly japes on Sky. Intend to go shopping during the time of the match.  Inspired by our Darren... UTV!

I am going to try to stop moaning and be positive.  I think we can win this one if we play to our strengths and just go for the fucking win.

Come on Villa.

Noooooo! You can't empty the top shelf first, it gets water all over the lovely dry plates on the bottom!

Frankly, the sacrifices some people are ready to make for the club move me to tears...

Leaving it disgustingly late to leave home.  Not getting a train until 1.28 pm and that gets us to the Hawthorns far too early for my liking.

Never left so late for a game before so it has to be a good omen.

I like that.  Made me smile.  See, we're definitely going to win now.  UTV
