I am convinced the ship has been steadied. Yesterday was the most settled and assured we have looked as a club in two years. Last season (and the season before) there was a sense of constant crisis and dread. Villa Park always seemed nervy, on edge. Yesterday I felt we started to look to the future with confidence.
Armchair 'fans' knocking the atmosphere.. pisses me off nearly as much as Small Heath Fans.
When it comes to judging atmosphere, I think he has a point. I do think you have to be there.In my opinion, the atmosphere was second only to the Man Utd match.
on espn you could hear every Arsenal song, and when the Villa are live on tv, its very rare you hear the away fans!!!

Maybe it was the weather? It was utterly grim today. I *was* in it for two hours! Try standing in it for two hours. Not before the match you weren't. I actually was. It wasn't pleasant. I thought the Holte sounded noisy at times, I was hoping the Paul Lambert claret and blue army chant would catch on where we were because that one sounded ace. As ever the acoustics of the ground probably have a part to play.

As ever the acoustics of the ground probably have a part to play. It still wasn't the wettest ever. Middlesbrough in 2008 wins that award.
