'Would you bet against us'?
P.s. Is my question mark in the correct place? I've often wondered.
-
And it must be, and it is!!!!
-
"Look at the Holte End! Listen to the Holte End!"
After Delph's winner against Chelsea.
-
"Mortimer, Shaw, Williams, prepared to adventure down the left. There's a good ball played in for Tony Morley. Oh, it must be! And it is! Peter Withe! Villa in the lead!"

"We'll be okay".
Paul Lambert at some stage during his first season.
-
"We go again"
-
' Great bunch of lads.'
-
'I had a great bunch o lads at Leeds'
-
"The place was a shambles "
-
'I thought we were excellent, I couldn't ask for more from the players' - Lambert, after pretty much every match where we got our arses handed to us by the likes of Stoke.
-
'We can't compete with the likes of Charlton'
-
"The chairman is living in a timewarp"
-
'Would you bet against us'?

I think not. Mr. Pedant says, "Would you bet against us?"
-
"Gentlemen, you got us into this fucking mess, now you get us out of it"
-
'If I had a gun I would of shot him'. JG on Yorke.
-
You heard that booing at the end? I started it.
Kent Nielsen? Lightning slow......
Our three Bulgarians were on show today, Wouldov Couldov and Shouldov.
I could be here all day quoting BFR.

The top one has to be Ron Saunders after the Ipswich game, followed by SGT at half time against Crewe. Followed by Peter Withe in the dressing room before the crucial Boro game in '81 when the players were saying they were our bogey team and he bluffed that he had never lost to them and always scored against them. Helped by the fact he was suspended when we lost to them earlier in the season. We won and he scored. I still like BFR on the BRMB phone-in the night he got the job in 1991.
Caller "Ron, are you gonna win us a trophy like the blues have just won"?
BFR " hope I don't win you the Leyland Daf cup"!

Shortest thread ever. Winner with the first post
-
"Give it the full bollocks" BFR
-
'we have tried but can't seem to come up with a response that reflects terribly well on us'
-
'we have tried but can't seem to come up with a response that reflects terribly well on us'
What was the context for this again please? I know it was something to do with the unwashed?
-
"Villa have amazing support. If you hung 11 Villa shirts on a washing line five thousand fans would turn up to watch them."
Tommy Docherty.
-
"We're not allowed to call it the dugout"
-
"No one man will ever own Aston Villa again". HDE circa 1968.
-
the name says it all ... and you were so right Ron
-
Withe and shaw went together like bacon and eggs! And they sizzled! ! Gerald sinstad on the history of aston villa dvd.

Correct berneboy.
Eddie: the question mark is part of the quotation so it goes inside the quotation marks.
I used to teach English...back in the day when we taught punctuation and stuff.
Don't get me started on the apostrophe!
-
'If I had a gun I would of shot him'. JG on Yorke.
I'm on a roll here - "would have" or would've".
There's no such usage as "would of".
Write out 50 times and lock yourself in the cupboard under the stairs.
Great choice itbrvilla!

"Every time you come back here it must bring back memories Pongo” I said. He stared out for a long while. I thought he’d forgotten I was there. “Aye,” he said suddenly, “aye, they’re a great club…the greatest.” I stood and looked with him, this old man whose goals had set the Villa crowds roaring so long ago. It was not quite dusk on that March afternoon and I saw them too…they were out again, the old ghosts…Jack Hughes, scorer just about one hundred years earlier of Aston Villa’s first goal (perhaps to the very day)…George Ramsay…the Hunter brothers…Willie McGregor…Denny Hodgetts…legion upon legion of them on parade now, filling the field with claret and blue…the century with pride.

Good choice VID, you can almost feel the words and the atmosphere they were created in.
-
Uncle Frank knew Pongo pretty well.
Great choice ViD.
Bugger, got a bit of dust in my eye.

Mine isn't from a manager or former player etc but from a group of Chelsea fans when I was in the playboy executive box for the 2010 semi.
3-0 down totally outplayed and all you could hear 10 minutes from the end was "yippee yiiii yaaaay" the one turned to me and said " that's one hell of a support you lot have got" the others just nodded in agreement

"Fuck off Delph you ******" - me.

He still called it back in january, mind. Took a bit of stick on here too.

-
'Like a new signing'
-
"I'm a loyal guy" - Fabien Delph
-
''Don't tell me, show me'' BFR

''Don't tell me, show me'' BFR

Many that have been mentioned but this one always makes me smile.
"We've done em, we've done em." Brian Clough on commentry as the final whistle sounds in Rotterdam.
-
"There was only one side in it and they lost"
BFR on Sunderland as they somehow managed to lose 4-0 to Villa after a Mark Bosnich master class.

Are you sure? Wouldn't the question mark inside quotation marks make it.."bet against us question mark"?
-
"If you speak to Nicola Keyes she will be happy to help" GK. Here. 2008.
-
I don't remember it verbatim, but the one where JG was apologising for being top of the league.
-

"We've done em, we've done em." Brian Clough on commentry as the final whistle sounds in Rotterdam.
(for the last 10 minutes or so - Brian Clough again "just keep it"
-
We're not fickle, we just don't like you. Not a sound bite. I'm such a sugar bag.

Best personal one
Doug Ellis) What will you have Brian?
Me) Pint of lager please.
Ellis) That will be Ł5.50 please.
Best public one David Unsworth "I can't play for the Villa. My wife expects me home for my tea."

"You're like a son to me." Herbert to almost every player or manager summoned to the rose garden for a farewell handshake.

Not the best one, but always liked:
"And Olney! It's astonishing, this!"

I always liked that one - was in the old Trinity Road that day - Neville Southall's face as he's picking the ball out for the 5th and 6th goal was a picture !
"If there's not a better example of what football's all about, then I don't know what is - they could have been three nil down - and Peter With put that goal - absolutely brilliant"
(Brian Clough on us taking the lead in the ECF - after well - shall we say - quite a bit of Bayern Munich pressure in the proceeding 10 minutes).

oooops Peter Withe
