Things to look forward to next season

[Risso]

1) Beating Sunderland 3-0, as our swift passing and movement off the ball proves to be too confusing for them.

2) Beating Liverpool 3-0, with Stewart Downing carrying on his impressive form of last season.

3) Seeing crowds closer to 40K than 30K

4) A renewed sense of togetherness from the owner, manager, players and fans.

5) A top half finish, with a sniff of the top 6.

[Monty]

Actually trying to score those, urm, what-d'you-call-'ems...begins with a G.

[PaulWinch again]

Attacking and a tangible sense of hope around the club again. Hopefully we'll spend some money again and positivity will return. Villa Park is a formidable ground when the whole club is pulling in the same direction.

[not3bad]

Goals scored from a corner.

A Plan B.

Going into games with the so-called 'big teams' thinking we've got a chance.

[Toronto Villa]

Seeing everyone (well almost) much happier again! What a relief that will be.

[curiousorange]

Another crack at the FA Cup, five months after Lambert's new direction for the club is commenced.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Believing we can win and trying to win any game we play in.

[The Laughing Policeman]

Walking towards Villa Park pre match  with a sense of optimism rather than the dead hand of fear.
Having fun in L8.

This X 100

[N'ZMAV]

I'm looking forward to drinking more beer on a matchday.

[Merv]

Not knowing the outcome of the game the day before kick-off.

Players working themselves into the ground.

Team picked on merit, not reputation.

Widespread feeling of optimism.

The end of defeatist post-match interviews.




That's just a handful of things that spring to mind....

[Lambert and Payne]

Not feeling so apthetic towards every game
Having a go at one of the cups
Not fearing the oppostion
Players fans and manager on the same wavelength
Decent attendances and some atmosphere created thats joyous not poisonous

[JUAN PABLO]

Me , actually wanting to go down VP for a change

[philthebar]

Win, lose or draw, excitement and effort linked with some optimism.

[dave.woodhall]

Coming on here and not having to wade through pages of how we're doomed forever.
