Great picture of Villa Park too!

and the end of a season that contained so much hope at Christmas now can’t come quickly enough

This for me is such a disappointment. Before Christmas we were good. We didn't just get good results, we genuinely were good. We played with zip, verve, creativity, good movement.

Then the covid outbreak and since then, well, we've turned back into Aston Villa. I miss that other team from the start of the season and I hope we see it again next season, and for longer.

I don't agree with the last sentence as Leicester have managed it. However, I fear that may be me being optimistic rather than realistic.

One of the most depressing things I have ever read!

Dave there's a MAaty cash typo on the third from last paragraph.
