WOW! I can't get over the buzz, great vibe and fantastic mood on here the last few days, what a refreshing feeling. I can't put my finger on it but the relatively low cost, slightly unknown signings of Tonev, Okore and Bacuna have given me some unfounded joy that you would think we agreed a triple swoop of Bale, Ronaldo and Lewandowski.
It has taken the majority of us to learn and come to terms with our financial status, followed by our lowly league position of late. But something about Villa right now makes you not give two hoots about limits and restrictions...we have a manager, scouting network etc that for once over the past 6-7 years has a plan he wants and seems likely to put together.
Congratulations Aston Villa football club in being proactive and forward thinking...it makes a change and you have put a lot of smiles on the supporters faces.
Thankyou and keep up the great work. ;D

Hear fucking hear!
-
Yup!!.
-
I think at this time of optimism we should spare a thought for our poor beleaguered neighbours in Small hea.... actually no, fuck `em.
-
Imagine when the like of Ireland and Hutton f**k off too ;)
oh and Holman
-
I haven't heard a peep out of any Albion fan for weeks. They must be dreading next season. 8)
Oh that's right, they're after Weinmann. Ha ha ha!!! ;D
-
In before someone hijacks the thread with misery...
-
Yes it's very good at the mo, now if we can just sign Benteke up.
-
It's always felt good to be able to say, 'I support Aston Villa', but it's been a while since I've felt so positive about nearly everything about the club! Happy days!

I have a feeling they won't be wearing those t-shirts next season. And they will be a song down.
-
We are the coming force.
We can all sense it.
-
On a darker note.
Sales of bedsheets and tins of black gloss paint have hit an all time low in Erdington say disgruntled local traders.
-
It will be interesting to see the results of my 24 hour blood pressure monitoring that I've been doing today!!

I am next out in Stour on Saturday. I look forward to debating football with any Tesco bag wanker that wants to talk to me...
-
Renewing the ST's is looking like the best £450 I've ever spent.

Don't forget to ask them when they expect to sign Weimann.
-
Shortly after Benteke has done his strolling over hot coals stint to get there surely?
-
Not for long

Its because we're not actually playing, there i did it.
-
I am as happy as a pig in shit at the minute. I can't do any bits for the mag. They will be too cheerful!
-
I felt many times even during last season that there was no way I would swap the bulk of our team (with some obvious exceptions) for any other. I love what Lambert is doing, and its great we are getting early quality signings which promise more of the same, plugging some of the gaps and providing more strength in depth. Now if only we can get Benteke over the line... we will be a force to be reckoned with next season on a more consistent basis.

I'm as happy as Mike Baldwin at the swimming gala.
Not sure if that works actually

It doesn't, because you mean Len Fairclough don't you?

Blimey yeah. Had forgotten about him and his misdemeanors
-
Can't wait for the season to start, shirt out well early too not October as has happened before. If Benteke signs up on a new deal too will be even better
-
Enjoying this summer, well done to the Villa.
-
I was/am very excited by it all.
I don't know what will happen though. I believe top 8, i.e. 8th, is doable, but I really don't know how we will do, but I have faith.
It would be very exciting to go somewhere first day of the season and mop the floor with somebody, having gone under the radar and for people to sit up at the thought of playing us again.

I find- 'Do not adjust your set, normal service will be resumed' works quite well.
-
Just think we need to manage expectation levels a little. I think we'll do better than last season if we keep Beneteke and he stays fit, but we need to remember most teams will be significantly strengthening their squads this summer with all the extra tv money.
-
ah but after yesterday's joys we will be on a real downer when we don't sign anyone today
:'(
-
I hate all this. I find it impossible to extract any joy from life at the best of times.
I'm heading over to Off Topic to argue with the twats over there and I'm not coming back until Ireland is given a new contract.

What is off topic ?

Why aren't we moaning about stuff going wrong? That's when we are most creative.

Aston Villa, summer 2013. The quiet revolution.
They won't know what's hit 'em.
Roll on August. Come on you Villa boys!
-
If/when we get the big man to commit for at least another season I will need to have my smile surgically removed.
-
We're going to be very good, I have faith.
-
Yes happy times indeed. Genuinely looking forward to the start of next season. Even thinking of throwing away the medication. At times last year it was terrifying but never boring.
In the past couple of seasons I have barely watched motd (crap I know but won't pay SKY subscription any more).

Hoepfully he will look at the 2 newbies and think that is where I was last year and see the club being consistent with a blend of British and European young players and also seen who has been released / for sale and thinks this is the place for him for at least another year.
The future is looking better.
-
Hold on to your seats!!!!!
-
Expect a LB - probably Cresswell -and a new young goalie (maybe the lad from Norwich) - then it all depends on Mr Benteke.
Can't believe we haven't signed anyone today yet. Lambert out.
-
a new young goalie (maybe the lad from Norwich)
We're looking at Jesus so I've heard.

He'll be an expert on crosses

He's had enough time to get some in. Pre season starts in 3 weeks. What is he playing it?

I said yesterday that this is the best pre-season I've experienced in a long, long time.
Our kits aren't outrageous (a la lime green - although I did like it, you have to admit it was hideous), and we've made three signings already. I personally think these young hungry players are what's going to get us anywhere. As long as we don't suffer any 8-0 hammerings again, that is, the confidence, believe, energy will be second to none in the Premier League.
This new scouting system PL has in place is clearly doing it's job, if you look at some of the players we got last year (Benteke, mainly) then I have massive hope they're doing it again by bringing in players with potential, and bringing them in early. This will hopefully give them a full two months ay Bodymoore with their new colleagues and let them hit the ground running on day one!
Keep it up! I'm a happy Villain.

Yep a decent left back and another good goalkeeper as well as offloading the remaining high earners will please me no end.
The Villa buzz is back - I have even persuaded rob_bridge's old man to attend a game at the start of next season (aged 79 as he will be). 1st game he will have been to this century.

Did you hear this from Dan?
He's our pet prophet ;)
