Nowt wrong with Hinckley, it's town centre has lots of dull chains and boarded up shops after being given a kicking by the out of town retail parks, but where doesn't these days?

How did we get onto this by the way?

I might be on my own here, head on chopping block. This isn't ment to provoke, but it's my opinion. I think we're looking back at Steve Stride's time at villa through claret and blue coloured spectacles. I can remember him making some dodgy decissions (please don't ask me to name them, it was long ago and I can't remember them specifically) in his time, and thinking its about time he moved on and out the club along with Doug. The all seemed old school, an not in a good way.

I'd like to see someone like David Dein roll up at villa park than Steve Stride. Someone with more of a vision, it's no coincidence that since dein left arsenal they've not been the fighting force the once were.

I think we need to move forward, not look back. And certainly not back to Steve Stride.

I've been to paradise but i've never been to me.

Gone a bit downhill, I've heard.

They paved paradise to put up a parking lot.

Might as well be in Dudley.
