Post by: Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle on November 26, 2023, 09:25:39 PM: Great write up. Listening to the radio commentary, it was inevitable as halfway through the second half, the list of Spurz injuries was read out as though they were the only team suffering loss to key players. I also wryly smiled as the comment "amazingly at this time of the season Villa find themselves one point behind Man City" was trotted out.
For some reason the appearance of the Villa in the top four has eyebrows raised whereas, we the fans, could see what was happening from the very start.
While the media waits for us to fail, I'm happy to enjoy the ride and can only see more joy ahead.
