I don't think us scoring early is good. It just means there is more time for the opposition to equalise. If we can keep scoring the winner around the 80 minute mark then that'll be great.

Biggest one for me is April 10th 1993.

"What if...................?"

Is that the day you got married  ;D

10th April 1993 should be etched into every Villa fan's memory as 'a day that will live in infamy'!

That is the last game I went to until I started taking the children in 2005/2006. A watershed in many ways.

It's not a Villa game I'm talking about.

I think it was a 'Big Ron-ism' from his commentary days "The good news for Arsenal is that they're 2-0 down very early in the game."

These sort of scenarios going through your head is quite common. I used to do this all the time when I was ...11!

If he'd have scored against Everton is the major IF for me.....

Really? We scored five minutes later through Benteke to make it 3-1 and fucked it up then.

There's nothing wrong with me or my sense of humour. 

I can't see how the opening post is in any way humorous anyway. It's just a highly flawed hypothetical scenario that you, presumably, wanted peoples opinions on.

I gave my opinion on it, and my reasons for that opinion. Nothing more to it than that.

I think it's pretty pointless but if thats what gets you through the day there's no harm in it.

Good old Telly, taking time out from admiring Birmingham's blossom to murder this song by Bread.



I've had better days than today, this has made me laugh out loud. Did his brother ever burst into song?

Ohhh yes.   You can't stop those Savalas boys.

He had a top ten hit ......... in Greece.

Well we have trouble hanging on to leads so perhaps the later we open the scoring the better. Can't see us hanging on for 89 mins

I agree. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that football with all it's money is just like Wrestling. The result being premeditated, and the footballers themselves are just entertainers. The Sepp Blater is the Vince Mcmahon of football.
