Your interest in the villa

I like to go away some weekend for salsa congress. 

I can't seem to come up with an answer that....etc.

I've tried to give the villa up once or twice. I've found it impossible tbh. Despite how shite we've been, I still enjoy going down the place.

It is a very good dance though, salsa.

My son and I are house painting.   Last Saturday we spent from ten in the morning until about ten past four in the afternoon teetering on the tops of ladders and talking about the Villa.   I cannot recall anything else being talked about but that is the way it always is, why talk about anything else when you can talk about the Villa?   At about 4.07 Southampton's first goal went in followed in rapid succession by another three.

To a casual observer we must have looked like two catatonic madmen up ladders somewhere in Suffolk or perhaps like Men In Black, aliens had devoured us and inhabited our paint covered skin and clothing.

My son's wife appeared at this point and it became truly surreal.   Lovely, warm, smiley, friendly, buxom young woman observing two catatonic madmen up a ladder only able to gurgle "Four f*cking one" and "to f*cking Southampton".

It is my own fault.   When I don't go to a Villa game I do the sensible thing and spend the period of the game wandering around a field in total silence.   Serves me right for allowing work to come between me and my obsession.

Listening to the Villa fans at the beginning of the game and when the first goal went in, I really wished that I was there. It took me back to when I went to the games (was there when we won 3-2 after 2-0 down when Davis scoring the winner). I was really nostalgic. But I was even more nostalgic as their goals started flying in!!

It's been full on for me since the third division days. I'd say the only thing that's changed as i've got older is
realizing that 'we' the fans are Aston Villa not the players. This was even more apparent to me after chatting to some of the current squad in philly and chicago in july. Made me really think about the unbelievable support this amazing club has had over the years and the places I'd been to just because.
Win or lose we will still be there regardless of who's playing in the shirt.

I love Aston Villa Football Club , for many reasons  , the main one rightly or wrongly it was has been part of my life for so long .

My Parents , Aston Villa, My Wife and kids  My Country ...  they are all integral to my make up and my kids make up .
...
some scruffy  arsed kid living in big Blues areas , never bothered me , I was blessed Villa  through thick and thin .......... 

I will always love ASTON VILLA , but i honestly hate the product our great club has become in embroiled in due the Commodification of OUR game

I want  a club to buck the financial trend , I pray that as history has shown Aston Villa can once again become that Club.

come what may , Aston Villa is not a club it is an institution ......

Nights like tonight. That's why.

Hence let's savour it as we don't see this kind of performance often.

[Claret trim]

Let's just say that after last year's aberration, the Villa are just getting back on my radar of interesting things to do with my time.

About time too.

Sums it up perfectly.
