No idea what people are gonna think to this but I tried to write something thought-provoking (for a change ;) ). How my love of Villa has helped me understand religion.

A couple of points that have nothing to do with the content:-


Quote
"We could have got more.... it certainly payed dividends...Leicester have gotten to where they have"


You used the past participle 'got' and 'gotten'. One or the other, preferably the former; you are not American.


Prefer 'paid' to 'payed' which is used in a specific nautical context (You are PAID monthly but the seaman PAYED out the line).


Quote
Tony Pulis' Stoke team


I prefer s' with common nouns ending in 's': The players' lounge but 's with proper nouns: Tony Pulis's team.


Quote
7 points is possible


Grammatically,SEVEN pointS ARE possible.


Quote
We're certainly showing there's some fight left in us, and if we are to


Stylistically, I avoid mixing contracted and uncontracted forms. Use one or the other, preferably uncontracted in the written form.

Decent read Chipstick - I would only take issue with the statement that Gabby is a Villa fan - pretty nailed on Gooner is the general consensus

Nice article. I agree with your "I don’t expect him to win us any silverware, but he’s easily the man for the job" comment, but (in his defence) Bruce did get Hull to their first ever FA cup final where (unlike us the last couple of occasions) his team actually turned up on the day.

Very good point about the final with Hull, here's hoping...
