we win 4-3 in what is later voted as the game of the season.  Four goals scored by four different players, all worthy of goal of the season.  At the end everyone is hugging each other and laughing.  Because we were so fantastic, a deal is ratified to extend the league to 21 teams for next year.  Our new owner is revealed to the fans and is instantly worshipped as the new messiah, but even better is his announcement of our new manager.   On the way home Zombies start appearing and take over the world....oh wait im sleep typing again

It's the day when the booing stops as we away fans look to our right at the Graham Taylor Stand and pay homage to the great man who turned our club around last time we were in this state. Anyone who was at Goodison in 1990 will remember the incredible way Villa fans thanked him that day.

I'm so disappointed that Fabien Delph doesn't play for Elton Johns Watford.
We could explain our displeasure about him leaving Villa.
But then again.
Will a Delph hear reason?

My meds have kicked in.....villa 3-2. Or Watford 3 nil. Guzan and Lescott involved in another spat with fans as they see who can chuck Grealish the closest to the touchline. Bacuna to score an impressive own goal from one of our own corners, thus cementing his place as the biggest tw@t in a villa shirt this century.

Guys I think we've been to the dark side of the moon, but now the bitch is back. We're going to get the win.

If there's a God in heaven, we're going to break our losing streak.

For these players sorry seems to be the hardest word. And the club has been like a runaway train all season. But finally I think things are looking up.

Avfc 2, Watford 0. Both goals from Ashley Rocket Man Westwood.

It's the circle of life.

Worst PL Teams:

1) Derby 11 points
2) Sunderland 15 points
3) Villa 16 points*
4) Sunderland 19 points
5) Portsmouth 19 points (after being docked 9 points)

*3 games to play

If we lose this game, I think we can forget overtaking Sunderland and Portsmouth's totals and the chance to 'only' be the 5th worst PL team.

How will he ever get another 'Cuckoo-Job' again???

The fact that he is useless, intellectually about footie, and just put out the cones for 4/5 years for Steve Bruce at the others, maybe talked about player's buttocks... :D.....who knows...???
It doesn't make him a capable pair of hands~~as a MANAGER. Caretaker 5th time or not....

HE and WE...have to win this one... and to make sure, I've imported Deeney-Bluenose...as Capt, in my Fantasy team.... to make bloody sure we win.

ps  Them 4 - 1 Barstewards   'Nose Deeney to score the opening goal in his own net (again) - only to atone later on by bagging a 6-minute hat-trick in front of the assembled Villa support . Other goal tapped in at some unspecified stage, by a random Hornet, after a trademark defensive calamity. Triffick.
