The Moment of the Season
« on: May 06, 2015, 09:04:27 PM »
Lot of time to reflect this week and the impatience of the wait for the Wet Spam match.

1) Surprise at Dave Woodhall's thinning hair on Midlands Today ?

2) Benteke's rolled penalty vs Albion ?

3) Weds evening yellow ticker tape sky sports -Lambert sacked?

4) Delph's winner at Wembley?

5) Bacuna's pass for Super Tom vs Toffees?

For me personally it was the Scott Sinclair goal against Albion, just a massive out pouring of emotion.

So far, Agent Foster's intervention.

1. Seeing Gerrards` name on the team sheet at Wembley
2. Seeing Gerrard blowing out of his arse during the game
3. Seeing him blast the free kick high into his supporters towards the end of the game - at that point I knew we had won


Easily the top moment was seeing VCTM Jnr`s face during the final minutes when the roars from the Villa faithful became more and more frenzied - at the final whistle we hugged each other whilst jumping up and down like mad things

That was a proper "Dad and Lad" moment  - I shed a few tears of pride and looked up to the heavens and said "Dad were gonna do it this time" - I was born 1957 and my late father was at the `57 Final

In no real order:


1) Being allowed back on to H&V
2) The whole Wembley semi weekend
3) Lambert getting the tin tack
4) Benteke's last minute penalty
5) Sherwood being appointed

Hard to argue. If one rush of blood to the head turned a football club around, that was it...

oh, and Delph signing.

A bolt of hope deep out of the blue, when everythig felt so bleak.

Off to bump the song for Delph thread. Talk about a literally unsung hero  :o

Lambert's sacking.  Nothing positive that has followed since - or may still happen - would have been possible with him in charge.

yep and then the subsequent arrival of Sherwood has changed everything. Throw in Benteke's hattrick freekick vs QPR too and it's pretty good since.

There was a point in the semi towards the end of the game where I noticed that the Liverpool players were standing off Jack Grealish. They were afraid of him.

Same for me.

We deserved to win that game for the first half alone but looked like another winless game. It started the ball rolling for the Sherwood era and fcuked the Albion aswell.

The scenes at the final whistle against Albion in the cup. If anyone watching that didn't get the pride,passion and potential of AVFC then they just don't understand football.

Hopefully the moment of the season hasn't happened yet
