Yeah he was crap in it but it was something like his 12th game for us and he had started a few before that. The Norwich game was the end of November 1992, his debut was August '91.

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.

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.


They may be doing the old ''tailoring the stat to show how bad they are'' i.e we won on the first day of the season but in every game since we've only won two..although in that case he could have been even harsher and said two wins from twenty five.

I'll tell you how it feels to follow Aston Villa.

This season no other supporters would swap their club for ours.

Over a lifetime all but a handful would.

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. 

Good answer.

A pride that no other football supporter of any other club in the world could even begin to imagine.

I'll tell you how good it feels
Fucking brilliant
This club has taken me to Wembley about 11 times has one of the few iconic grounds anywhere with a support to match.
Has taken me to the highest point looking down on all the other clubs in European football

As the banner says "You don't choose Aston Villa, Aston Villa chooses you" and it's an honour to support the greatest football club in the world. We all get it...in a way that other fans don't. These are dark days at this great grand glorious institution of ours...but whoever said supporting the Villa was dull. Honoured.

I'm quite looking forward to next season.A new chapter in our rich history, a history some clubs can only dream of.It actually feels great to be a Villa fan and I wouldn't change it for the world.As the kids say, let the haterz keep hating or words to that effect.UTV☺

The thing that is starting really annoy me now is you would think we were the only team going to be relegated. Have the fans of half a dozen other clubs and the media not realised two others of you are coming down with us you morons! The only solace I draw from this is that all this attention must mean we are/were important...

Not a great article. Opinions are everyone's prerogative I guess.

My second home game of having a season ticket. Aged 7. Where does the time go?
