They are rock bottom, with just two wins from 23 league games.

Not the best start to an article. It's not like we've won so many that the three that we have won are easy to forget.

Share your feelings with the group. Don't edit yourself. So says the hippy teacher in Beavis and Butthead.



Alright, then.

This must have been written a while ago. After 23 games there had only been two wins. We're now at 26 played. He's wrong about O'Neill though, painting him as some sort of bespectacled seer and not the spendthrift, tactical dinosaur who kicked away the foundations as he left the building with the family silver under his arm.

Good point.

As for the O'Neill myth, it's one of those things that is going to be repeated so much that it just becomes accepted truth. Like carrots helping you see in the dark.

How it feels to follow Aston Villa?

To have won the lottery of life. The greatest honour and privilege that can be bestowed upon a human being.

I used to be convinced that was true, would have put money on it. I was there to 'witness' it, but apparently not. I do remember he had a nightmare that day, or perhaps he didn't?

Sorry if its already been posted

My son is the one with his head in his hands at the Norwich game near the start of the video!!  You can get a glimpse of my greying head of hair behind him!!  And again later when he standing up gesticulating!
