Do you mean fun whilst watching the Villa play football ilo miserable 90+ minutes every other week.... now that would be FUN.

PSA: The family fun zone isn't open on Saturday.

Hopefully the fun zone has moved inside the stadium now

Very good

43,000 for a midtable clash in the Championship against Swansea. The players need to put a bit back in now.

Just imagine how good things could be if we got promoted.  The owners and all involved should be busting a gut to get us there, then build the ground to a 50k before we win the Champions League in 2023.  A journey starts with just a single step.

For the third time....

The good feel factor will see us home 2-1 with us scoring within the first 5,minutes but t hanging on a bit at the end

Be happy with a draw tbh. That defence still scares the shit out of me.

I had decided not to go until Bruce was gone and know a few more that had said the same.
Back in Blighty and going down the Villa.

I think we’ll win. But even if we don’t, it won’t be because we haven’t tried to. And most importantly irrespective of the result what I am confident of is that long term we will be in very good shape and a PL club again before too long.

[Drummond]

Gutted I can't go and that it's not on TV. There's nothing like a capacity crowd all desperately willing everyone to do well.

Which usually means one thing....cue last minute opposition winner. This is the Villa after all.

Feels very strange to be enthusiastic and positive about a game. Even with our rag tag defence, I think we'll sneak a win. Be good to see round pegs in round holes and a couple of youths on the bench.

Imagine the outpouring on here when we see Jedi at CH on Saturday!!

Chester had a solid game for Wales last night, granted Ireland's forwards are very average but was best I've seen him play in a while. Don't think we have players to consider playing 3 at the back like Wales for now unless Elmo could be converted to one of the three.

Kicking myself I'm not around for this game. Would have been my first since the Wolves one which was the only one I managed last season.
