Nazareth. Terrific band. Saw them at the Town Hall in the very early 70's. Deafened me and my brother to the point that we were yelling enthusiastically at each other on the bus home. Fantastic.However, try googling 'we feel football' or 'the drum.com' .The Sun have come up with a sad fans advert for next season, featuring the Villa and 'love hurts' as wailed by Dan McCafferty and the lads as a soundtrack. Still fabulous.HoweverThey (the Sun) have no idea about our secret weapons.Heh heh heh....
I was at that very same concert Louzie, I think it was 1973. I loved Nazareth- "Broken Down Angel" 's the track that comes to mind first. That could have been unfairly applied to a Villa player at one time, with a little alteration in pronunciation
The Villa support ironically singing this tune whilst putting teams to the sword next season would be delightful. Stick it up the London press boys Villa.

I think Sutherland Brothers and Quiver supported, on the night?Chicago Lion, the Sun are running TV adverts for their football coverage based on the idea that some Premiership teams are on the losing side more than average, but that their fans still love them through the suffering. I posted it in here because Villa are prominent in the 10 second short ones as well as being part of the longer version I originally found. The Guardian agrees with them.The Telegraph are altogether more bullish about our chances, though,Mr E, predicting 10th (!) and especially if we get Sanchez as well, it all looks rather better than it did a month ago! Hence the secret weapons comment.

Hence the secret weapons comment.Looks better than 3 days' ago, to be fair.A lot of so-called expert pundits have gone for the lazy / obvious relegation candidates.I was reading Matt Le Tissier's predictions on Sky today and - guess what - Villa, Leicester and Burnley are his drop-candidates (Sourhampton definitely won't drop, apparently: you heard it here first, folks). And - quelle surprise! - Chelski, Citeh, Manure and Arse are his top four predictions.
