It's all a bit doom and gloom around here at the moment so I thought we could all do with a bit of collective cheering up.
I'll start - last time we played in Division 3 we won the league, winning 32 of 46 games and were English and European champions within a decade!
-
We'll piss League One.
-
Part three.
-
We'll piss League One.
Like we were going to piss the Championship.
-
We're due to give somebody a real hammering soon.
-
That it is the usual overreaction to a contest last night between two evenly matched teams, one of which is suffering from severely low levels of confidence.
-
One day I am going to die and then I won't get annoyed about the Villa anymore :-)
-
Once we gel...
No, we love Aston Villa, one of the most storied, magnificent clubs in football. The team are shite now but we'll always be Aston Villa.
-
Bayern Munich bumbled around in the regional leagues and weren't selected for the Bundesliga when it was formed. Then some bloke from 1860 Munich smacked Franz Beckenbauer during a youth team game and this convinced him not to sign for his beloved Lions and join Bayern instead.
You never know what's going to make your fortunes turn for the better. We can't always get worse.
-
I wouldn't put it past us.
-
You do though Richard. When I was having a brush with the Grim Reaper a couple of months back all I could think of to live for was getting out of the second division. Death is only injury time.

They will probably show last season and this season around the clock in Hell just to torment me.
-
Trevor Francis will be in charge by then so you could be right. If it is Savage it will be him on Strictly on an everlasting loop.
-
I'd prefer that Brian to be honest, to the unremitting shite currently on offer. I just know Benty's going to be giving it large in front of L5 on Saturday.

Beelzebub has a devil set aside for us.
-
Nah, Mr U. No chance with Mad Tom marking him.
-
Owen Coyle is suddenly available!
-
At least the Villa didn't ruin my weekend this time.
-
I'm having a bag of chips later......only thing that will cheer me up
-
Donna from Suits has offered to show me if her collar and cuffs match.
-
I don't get what you guys see in Donna. Be like sleeping with a motorbike.
-
The red head?
-
Yep. The bony one built like a bentwood hatstand.
-
Bit too angular, like a Picasso painting. Nice eyes though
-
More like the horse in Guernica I thought. Agree she has nice minces. Probably contacts.
-
We haven't gelled yet.
-
Les demoiselles' d'Avignon I was thinking. Christina Hendricks is hotter although a fake ginge
-
"Somebody is overdue a thrashing soon".
-
Someone is due a thrashing
Gollocks
-
I bought a bottle of Sol (not for me, don't start) and a pint in the Bigg Market after the game for £3.75.
And the curry house next door to our gaff was top hole.
Other than that, a pox on the Villa's house.
-
We have better players than most of the league. There's a high chance we will start to get results. Compare this to last season where we had the worst group going.

That makes it more frightening, like there's some supernatural, predestined shit going down.

Part three.
Why don't you get back into bed?
1,2,3

Logic says that, we will pick up and end up mid-table.

Bloody hell based on what?
Being over 30 points off top spot, 20 odd off the play offs, lost 8 out of 9 with the worst current form in all four divisions, they lowest scorers away from home in the league, no team spirit and a clueless manager.
Apart from that someone is due a tonking

I think so too. A poor season but hopefully we can put together a bit of positive momentum now.

Makes you realise why bookmakers take their holidays in Barbados. The fundamental truth about sports betting, whether it's horses, dogs or football teams is that winners go on winning losers go on losing.

When my adorable great granddaughter is with me, when she is with me my desperate Villa gloom disappears for a while (she is 2 in May)
-
Hutton's contract is up in the summer.

Hutton's contract is up in the summer.
Starting to think we need him, now. MOM for us last night, for me.

When my mum brings round a dozen homemade cupcakes this teatime, because "We lost again son but don't worry, it's only a game".

I thought he did ok last night one of the few :-\

If we want to finish 16th next season yes we do.
-
Do you really think a deLaet returning from a season-long injury will show more ? Or a 19 year old rise to the challenge ? We need some FIGHT here, guys. ( p.s. just like we didn't get last season, I know ! ) OMG UTV
-
I have no idea.
But if those two can actually stay fit for five minutes Hutton isn't needed as he has zero quality. Wake me up when a cross of his doesn't go into row F of the Holte.
-
We're not blues that's enough for me

I sometimes get the feeling you're taking the piss BOB, no offence.
-
Certainly no offence taken, but I think Hutton should get credit for his willingness to put some effort into it. He is close to becoming - if not already - the next Westwood, for some folks on here.
OK, so his end product fails more often than not leaving him out of position. I can accept that he is not a good player, but he is one man who actually makes you think " well he's trying and the others don't appear to be ....." No ?
We really need Tavernier from Rangers, IMO.
-
This unexplained decline, which is gathering in pace after the 5 years of gentle drain circling in the PL is taking us somewhere.
If you can detach yourself from the sheer misery of it, it's kinda interesting.
Where exactly are we going? How far will we go down? Lg1, Lg 2 - non league?
Actually, standing still in the Championship for years who be far more boring than continuing decline.
Also, didn't we enjoy the speculation at the end of Lerners days? Surely one day, if the decline continues, Xia will disappear fairly abruptly (from what I know of Chinese buisiness culture) and we can enjoy months of ownership speculation again.
-
and who could blame him?
-
I have been supporting Villa for nearly 50 years now. The wife keeps telling me "why do you keep putting yourself through this." I just tell her she doesn't understand. I've been delving into some Villa history lately, when we had a decent side, to make myself feel better.
As someone else said on here recently, they can't take our memories away.
-
good for you, like many I suspect, my affliction is traceable to my family history - once it's in the blood, you can't get rid of it.
-

No, that happens naturally at my age.
-
I'm going on holiday next month.
Can't think of any Villa -related reasons to be honest.
We fucking suck.
-
I'm getting married.
-
I'm getting married.
Congrats!!! Best thing I ever did!
-
Congrats, N'ZMAV.
Don't pick Villa Park for the reception, you'll be divorced in six months otherwise.
-
and who could blame him?
I don't think it would be voluntary though.
-
my Dad was, I think, the last person Doug Ellis gave permission to for his ashes to be scattered at the Holte End, in October 1995. He told me last night he's now happy to leave.
-
Hutton....He is close to becoming - if not already - the next Westwood, for some folks on here.
No he's not. Hutton has been crap for at least three seasons now
-

Problem is I actually thought we had a better group of players at the beginning of the season. I hope I'm wrong but I'm not impressed by the quality of this squad at all.
EDIT: whoops this is meant to be the cheerful thread, so erm - Green doesn't look a bad prospect.
-
My Decree Nisi has FINALLY come through. Effective 8th March.
-
I'm getting married.
YAY! I will be soon.
-
A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome we can spare it - Villa Park.
-
Bloody bigamist. Wait until 9th March.
-
Absolut 6 weeks and 1 day after is what we are now waiting for. Something to look forward to.
-

That's a long time to wait for a Vodka.
-

Woah! No you haven't.
It was my birthday yesterday and I was (still am) ill. Get in! Happy days.
-
I've got a gastric bug. Spent 25% of the last 24 hours in the lav.
So an improvement on Monday...
-
the wild shites?
-
The season will be over soon.
-
We have won five more games than we did last season.
-
It's not Saturday yet.

Coleshill Town are in the semi finals of the FA Vase for the first time in our history.

We will

Good luck. Fuck South Shields.
-
If we win every game from now until the end of the season then we'll make the play offs.
-

I like your style!
-
Villa the most successful club in the land with 16 titles (and a record 22-0 win in the history books), are unbeaten since November 1st, one point off top spot and in with a shout of the title for the first time in 13years. The land in question being Uganda.
-

I bet we wouldn't (and won't).
-
Near ruin in the summer, new ridiculously rich owners and ditch Bruce. We are very fortunate.
A client gave me a Glenmorangie Signet, I’ll have a bit this evening as a booster. UTV.
-
Thank fuck for Small Heath.
-
My new girlfriend is way out of my league but for some reason she likes me. No doubt at dinner tonight I’ll get Swansea’d and some fucking grotesque hobbit will steal her away from me.
-
Some us cool kids have RD2 and beer to blank out today.
-
I drank that Glenmorangie while you were throwing cold water over those Carol singers. I replaced it with Tizer.
-
Good luck with that TV. Do a Tommy Hitzlesperger. Pull out your big one.
At the appropriate time of course.

Sorry about that pal, it's not my fault I've got a massive cock you can see through my trousers.

You did seem keen for me to do it this year.

I go and watch them now and then. They play in claret and blue
