Crying over the Villa

[Steve kirk]

Being a biggest softie on H@V here is my list of blubbing over Villa
1969/70 Leicester away, blubbed when I got home (McMahon goal disallowed)
1971 League cup final against Spurs, cried tears of pride
1975 League cup final v Norwich cried when Ian Ross lifted the cup.
1981 cried when radio announced we were League champions
1994 cried at end of penalty shoot out against Tranmere
2000 cried at end of F A Cup final when we didn't turn up.
Numerous other times I was close to blubbing over our club, just the way I am.
Beat that !!!!

The replay final against Everton when we equalised and then went behind very quickly afterwards in the 3-2 League Cup Final win.  I was only about 10 at the time. We are going down now but they only deserve anger, not my tears.

Pedant alert: the scoring didn't quite go like that.

0-1
1-1 (Nichol)
2-1 (Little)
2-2
3-2 (Little).

Nothing wrong with it. If it can move a person to tears during the good times such as a cup final then there is nothing wrong with it during bad times.

April 2012 when Wigan beat United and it looked, for the first time in my lifetime really, like villa could seriously go down and there would be a Premier League without the villa, I posted here that it hit me and I had a tear or two. It's been coming in a while so that shock factor that was there in the McLeish year isn't there at all now.

When Spartak beat us.

No tears for this lot of numpties only for the young kids who have been introduced to this wonderful club by caring fathers and have had to put up with all sorts of grief from other kids at school.

That's where my sympathy lies.

The players, nothing but contempt for the so called experienced premier league chancers who brought us to this.....professionals they don't know the meaning of the word

If there was an inkling of a chance we might stay up, i'd expect to be emotional about it. But we've been going down since November time. I won't say I'll take it with a shrug and a smile but by and large, the sting's been drawn.

Although from my previous post you can see i'm very prone to crying over Villa there will be no tears this time when were officially down.

Thanks Percy. I must have been cheering at going 2-1 up and then getting pegged back. What a game!

Fantastic. Probably my favourite ever.

Double pedant alert, Nicholl

Someone seemed to have collapsed on the hill up to Aston Pwrk after the game today, was being attended to by paramedics, anyone know what happened?

If you mean near to the school, I didn't see what led up to it but I saw the paramedics arrive and tend to someone.  It was a child who they walked to the ambulance with.  The child was holding his stomach and looked very pale but I would guess it wasn't anything major.

I definitely had tears in my ears after Dion scored that penalty in 2000.

Never cried at football but that was definitely the most emotional moment for me.

[dave shelley]

Thank you, Mr Green, it was all greatly appreciated. Three and a half years in remission now and life is good so I am not going to let the useless bastards masquerading as a football team bother me.

Is it really that long Chris?  Fantastic, long may it continue.  Mind yourself.

Good news, Chris.

Keep it going!
