Two turning points for me.

1. The signing of Sylla which we all took the piss out of has turned out to be an extraordinarily important signing for protecting the shambolic defence prior to that.

2. The launch of my plot an escape from relegation thread shortly after the Newcastle game when no one gave us a prayer :-).

1: Some weren't impressed with his signing. But some were.

2: And some of us did!

Interesting to look back on this thread. The "Will Sylla and Dawkins help keep us up" thread.

Really is a good read that, cheers for resurrecting it. And fair play to glasses for calling it almost exactly as it transpired (albeit it not particularly confidently)!

Some of the posters on that thread seem to have vanished for some reason.

I remember the mere question left me mortified at the time, so convinced was I that the answer was no.  Glad I was wrong!

That first half was the finest I have seen a Villa team play for many many years.

Agreed.

Hated it when half time interrupted a brilliant performance.
Odemwanky's equaliser was almost inevitable in a shit 2nd half though and I came the closest I've been for years to punching someone in the face - a fat, smug Boggie's fan singing  - just out of reach - that "We know what we are" shit!
We're coming to get you Stripeyfilth!
UTV!
