So how excited are you about the new season?

[HK Villan]

10 - extremely excited about Villa this season. 

Even last season even though it was a horror show at times I found it gripping especially as we got in to the last few months.  We could see what PL was trying to do starting to bear fruit and after yesterday's performance I think we can genuinely fear no one.  We won't win them all but Villa are BACK!

If you cannot get excited on the morning of the first game of the season, an away game no less, a good away day too, then you should consider the services of an undertaker, because surely the blood has stopped pumping through your veins.

We had a really nice day out in Liverpool, checked the scoresa couple of times and was happy to see Villa won but still can't say I was 'excited' the football season has come round again.

One thing the new season did remind me of though, Stoke City really do seem to attract a very special breed of Neanderthal.
