To lighten the mood.......

1. The Les Sealey rant at George Courtney.
2. Gary Megson waving at the Holte in response to the ginger twat rendition.
3. The Gustavo Cisneros link.
4. Michael Neville's revolutionary new idea - broadband.
5. A song I will never forget being sung by one solitary man in the away end at Newcastle.  'Bobby Robson smells of wee.'  It was just so surreal but funny at the time, no one including the Geordies could do anything other than laugh.

Randy had bought the Villa, O'Neill was the manager and there was a refreshing optimism in the air,

it was first game at the Emirates v Arsenal, Mellberg had scored to put us one nil up and the noise in the away section was excellent (as usual), we were positioned in the away end at the front near the corner flag and Thierry Henry comes over to take a corner and we started pointing at him and singing you'll never play for Villa....he just shrugged and smiled...

IT was funny...you had to be there, I suppose :)

The bloke in a Panda costume at Sheffield United in 90/91 agreeing wholeheartedly with the chant "are you Gascoigne in disguise".

The Craig Bellamy hamstring 'pop' followed by pretty much everyone laughing

Les Ferdinands two yellows & a red in 30 seconds for Leicester

Deano & Parker taking pot shots at the Rover being driven round the track during warm ups

Paul Tait....

One that would only be funny for neutrals not us was the standard of reffing vs Celta

Rodney Marsh (or was it Stan Bowles) dropping their shorts when the Holte end sang about his wife and the milkman.

David Dunn trying to do a fancy flick between his legs, missing and falling over, then the camera scrolling back to Steve Bruce who was pissing himself laughing.

Duff scoring the own goal that relegated Newcastle.

Bouma's miss-hit shot, that trickled past an injured Shay Given and crept into the net.

The 5-1 against Blues  ;D

Coventry throwing away a 2-0 half-time lead and losing 3-2 and pretty much relegating themselves in the process and the bloke with the 'we'll be back' sign.

A guy dressed as Michael Jackson, dangling a toy doll over the top tier of the away end, at Bolton, chucking it up in the air, spinning around and catching it again. I did a LOL.

Not a great memory but seeing Santa Claus falling from the Trinity Road.
Alpay telling, by gesture, the people who paid his wages to be quiet.
Two adult men in their 40's with beer guts wearing Villa onesies.
Seeing Pele and Santos at Villa Park
Watching Vinnie Jones throwing a punch at Paul McGrath, missing, and then immediately apologising for this grave error of judgement.
Holte End balloons at the beginning of matches in the 70s.

The mass pelting of wolves fans with snowballs from us in the south bank in the in the late 70s.
Then the police trying to stop it vain absolute classic.
