Other reasons for our current temporary demise?
I'll go for the shirt sponsor change from acorns to FxPro.
Any others? Or shall I just go to bed now?
-
Go too bed!
-
Or the terrible kit.

To lighten the mood :-)

We are on Santa's naughty list. It might be my fault...
-
I happen to think our terrible form can be traced back to the huge thunderstorm on the opening day. Despite the result, all I could think was 'Doomed! We're doomed!'

Playing a left back at left back and playing a right back at right back, who in their right mind would try this? No wonder were f%*?!ed

Nothing so prosaic Leeg. It's because I lost my lucky hat. My younger son took a number of our old shirts to give to street boys in Cuba. In return they gave him a Fidel Castro cap which he in turn gave to me. The first day I wore it was the day I got the text telling me those wonderful words "O'Leary gone" It was rarely off my my head during the whole heady period of Ellis toddling off, Randy coming in, Villa on the march. The day I lost it was the day I got the text "O'Neill gone".
If I can only find it everything will be alright.

A few missing, but I really enjoyed watching that. Thanks.

I used to have some lucky green boxers. They fell apart during the 1999-2000 season, much like the team.

I'll willingly help you look for it, Bri. When did you have it last...?

I mantain we always have shit seasons when we have claret shorts instead of blue in case of a clash with the white home shorts. I'm no statistical genius, but I can recall a win or even a semi-decent season with claret shorts. It was unusual to wear a full change at Citeh - look what good it did us...

On the day 250 years after the French capitulation at Montreal, Houllier was confirmed as manager.

Thanks for posting this, I was just thinking it was the socks... great Villa montage too

We lost 4-0 at West Ham on the day in 2005 when England won the Ashes, and a future player of ours got a hat-trick. Maybe we'll sign Balotelli?

The Binmen are working to rule ?
Karlos - Good youtube find !
Everything will turn out ok again with The Villa ! Its just an unwanted blip.
Chillax everybody. Kick back and enjoy a Happy New Year ! 8)

Legion you have a point here. We have gone from the noble cause that is Acorns to (allegedly!) double dealing, shady sharp practicing money exchangers. Bad karma is circling us! I say we all repent now.
-
Moving the North Stand screen was a BIG mistake.
-
I think this may be my fault. I was in the Holte Suite one day and I found this green hat. Didn't look like much; looked foreign and I fear anything from overseas. Nevertheless, I keep wearing it in the hope we may get some luck. If only I could locate the Nice owner.

It's the curse of the post-Word Cup season. 1982-83 only finished sixth and only won the Super Cup. 86-87, relegated. 90-91 and 94-95 struggled. 98-99 started well and fell away badly. 2002-03 struggled. 2006-07 looked in danger for some time.
-
Man city scoring only through penalties and a goal-that-never-was.
Grrr.

Oh that does not surprise me that it's your fault...again!

When England win / retain the Ashes in Australia Villa get relegated (see 1986-7)

Thank you!!! Despite us currently being a point from relegation, that managed to put a big smile on my face! Just the tonic I needed (I've saved the vodka for the morning)
-
We didn't sack the last manager. Things invariably turn out better for the new manager if the previous one is sacked rather than resigns. We should as a precaution announce MON's sacking on New Year's Day.
-
Listen we've been sh!te for about 3 months and we're still not in the bottom 3 - how bad must they be?!

Bring back Arcade Fire....

I've just been translating some of Nostradamus' quatrains and came across this:
Century XXIV
29
When the Kilrea man will give way to none,
With wish to abandon the villans chalice;
Americans will panic in the last glows of summer,
And a Gallic ruler will take the throne.
30
A night encounter with opponents blue,
Will leave the bitter taste of defeat;
The cup no more, the battle lost,
The fleet return to lick their wounds.
31
More grief will come in the once strong land,
And the ugly one will claim victors spoils;
A visit to the Northern lands,
Capitulate as 13 strikes.
32
And the holders of the golden keys;
The chosen ones in the battle dress,
Will throw down their weapons in despair,
And Gerard will be left to fight alone.
33
By night will come the sound of scribes,
Wailing and revenge and plans of protest,
A divided army with no real faith:
The ghost of McGregor looks down in pain.
34
Division reigns and stories abound,
Of monied men in golden towers;
But the Gaul will not bow down to them,
And releases his hounds of hell.
35
The ragged army goes forth,
At the turning of the year;
Expectation of oblivion and numbers high,
A shining light is then revealed.
36
No more thought of leaders past,
Of eyes of four and celtic voice;
Or loss in drab sties and hovels grim.
A wave farewell to the alliance again.
37
On the Festival of Matthias the Apostle,
The silver will be adorned by ribbons claret;
Hoisted aloft by the Slav,
A new decade for the proudest ones.

Claret socks.
-
Just 5 wins since the General election.

Hi Rog Sorry not to have replied about my hat and thank you for the offer to help find it. The last time I had it was in the Holte Suite when I met TimVilla and his Dad. I know I had it then because Tim's dad was just about to move from Marlow to our part of the world in Grasse and I said I take my hat off to you and doffed my lucky hat in what I thought was a very gallic gesture.
My big concern is that it is not widely known but that great mane of jet black hair I have is a syrup of fig and really I am as bald as Baldy Ireland. I suffer from Creeping Alopaecia which makes all your hair fall out. It is very contagious so I hope nobody is actually wearing my hat unless it is a Bluenose or Stephen Ireland.
-
It's my fault i seem to have an albatross with me wherever i go, as anybody got a gun that i can shoot the pesky thing.
-
Claret socks.
Seconded. We always seem to be shite when we have them and I was well pissed off when the new kit was announced.
-
Definately Claret Socks
-
I think it's because we're sh*t and we know we are. Hope the parking has improved at Watford.
-
After being single for ages, I got together with my current on 24/9 and we've been shit ever since.
Should I dump her just in case?

Get Looking and dont stop till its found.........................

I had grown a beard by the time of West Brom.
I shaved it off just before the Sperms game. Sorry.

I'm going to have a muffin and Earl Grey before the Sunderland game. Knock the balti pie on the head. Something needs to change. And there's never a queue.

It looks a little too like ExPro for comfort. Another vote for the claret socks. And I think we should always have light blue collars.
-
Not found the goal sweet. The magic sweet that when eaten villa score. Dam u tin of roses....
-
I blame the council, I pay my poll/council tax,
I want my bins collected, my roads gritted
& my team to win!!! :)

Now that's something that can only be solved on the Conundrum thread.

Not for me to say what you should do. However you need to think about this. This is an issue about the love of your life and nothing and I mean nothing should come in the way that is going to harm the wonderful relationship you have. Love can not be traded and must never be compromised. You may have already started on the road that could ruin the very thing you cherish. THINK SERIOUSLY and DO THE RIGHT THING.

The love of his life is surely The Villa. He should dump her!

Better to have loved and lost... apparently!

Definetely, she is clearly no good for you (or the team).
Following the loss of my virginity I found Villa made continual progress eventually culminating in the most successful period in their history.
-
Look, we need to negate all the positive voodoo.
The timing is just too coincidental. She is bad Karma.
Think about it- who have have you loved longest? This Witch or the Villa?
See, easy decision and your club and all of us thank you. Very public spirited.
P.S. Can you send me her pic and e mail. Ta.
-
or......
to ensure that any curse is lifted. Take her to bed an make her wear a green hat and claret socks.
