Well done Clark

How the the conversation changes on this thread amazes me. This is the best thread for any ex-pat to log onto, on any site. This site gives me eyes, like i was back home, at Villa Park, tonight.
Few beers with the lads befpre the game, after doing a 6-2 shift. Walking from the Eddy or the Vine to the game.
Getting in sight of the Holte End now.
There we go, i can see the brickwork and the badge now, i'm safe.
'' Burger with onions please mate""
'' That's 3.50 please mate''
'' Cheers mate. Se you after the game for another.''

And then you get to the steps and the handrails.

There is no better place to be in the World to me, nowhere.

Your in. The atmosphere builds, minute by minute, until you can't wait any longer. Up the stairs you go.

And then it hits you. YOU ARE IN THE HOLTE END AT VILLA.

And there you will spend the rest of your life, no matter where you are in the world.

HOLTE ENDERS IN THE SKY.

UTV tonight everbody.
Please move this to the Old sloppy bastard thread. Cheers.

We've stunk this division out for too long now.

[supertom]

If we get out of this one at less than 2-0 I'll be amazed. We should be 3-4 down by now.

[Chris Jameson]

Clark sucks. He needs to sit.

What does that even mean?

[ez]

They just wait for our moves to break down.

[PaulWinch again]

Weimann that is poor.

[aev]

No threat at all.

[PaulWinch again]

Good move Villa.

[aj2k77]

I'm fearing what kind of ''tactical changes'' Lambert comes up with to change this game. Something needs to be done though.

[Nev]

Bring erm......move erm thingy, oh fuck it.

[Oscar Arce]

Experience would lift us.
Shameful stewardship of our club, our defence is appalling.
Looking very ragged atm

[Malandro]

Clark sucks. He needs to sit.

What does that even mean?

Yeah man he needs to sit

[Ross]

[Nev]
