we will have to accept that with more goals for will come more goals against but i reckon if we do go down it won't be with a whimper.

Shakespeare quotes applied to Villa; I like it:

And worse I may be yet. The worst is not
So long as we can say “This is the worst.”
(Edgar in King Lear)

There's more of course the great Bard penned to sum up the optimism and subsequent realism of Tim Sherwood's first match from All's Well That Ends Well :

"Oft expectation fails, and most oft there
Where most it promises; and oft it hits
Where hope is coldest, and despair most fits."

I hope it doesn't come to the quote from Julius Caesar:
"If you have tears, prepare to shed them now."
