The most perfect, satisfying trip to the Villa I've taken despite the God-awful weather. Flew over from Dublin, stayed in a B&B somewhere near Edgbaston. Got off at Witton station with me mate, an Italian on his first trip to VP, pissing people off with our luggage bags getting in the way of people making their way to the ground. The staff kindly minded them at the entrance to the North Stand where we had a great view of the three second-half goals. Couldn't have gone much better really.

Scary to think it's been five years. Christ, you'd fit the entire career of The Smiths into a similar timespan.

From memory the day was overcast and drizzly but don't recall really bad weather, could be wrong.

Great game though. We were a bit slow to get going first 10 minutes but once Young got the opener it was a destruction. Barry had one of his best Villa games that day, midfield masterclass from start to finish.

My Birthday's next week so I always enjoy derby games against them around this date as we always seem to win them.


We beat them 6-0 on my eighteenth birthday so beat that! ;)
