I've woke up feeling calm and serene this morning,  today could have been sooooo different though!

I feel confident we will win 3-1 and finish 12th which would be far better than most could hope for back in February.

In Manchester with a contingent of German Villans and just off to Wetherspoons for breakast before getting the train to Wigan.   Everyone completely relaxed. If this match had counted for anything the tension would have been unbearable

I woke up with a hangover.

I've woken up, bloody stupid time to be up on a Sunday!

: Just as you lose faith in modern football, Villa fans go and create this banner to take to Wigan. Bravo http://t.co/CIaYJCwPP7

Lets win well- finish mid-table and put this season to bed and then all enjoy the summer !

The landlord had to choose last night for an epic lock in!  Ms rjp is not impressed but as long as I make the train I think she'll forgive me.  I have no idea if it's nationwide or just a Leicester thing but Mild May has been brilliant so far (unless you're my liver).  I hope everyone behaves today, I'm really looking forward to it.  UTV

If you see Mr Retro wandering around in the vicinity of Wigan today that will be me in my '81 away shirt and '82 trackie top.

And poor Mr Sox has been somewhat forced to agree to a scarf out the window on the drive up.

A scarf out of the window should be made a compulsory law for the last day of the season. Even though I was someone who absolutely refused to consider the possibility of anything riding on this last game in relegation terms, I can't help feeling a small sense of anti climax though.

So strange to wake up on a matchday feeling calm and relaxed, normally as soon as I open my eyes it's full on anxiety, even managed a lie in till 10.30.
3-0 Villa.

That was my thinking, Mr Sox wasn't so keen until I threatened to cry and moan all the way. I think he gave in just to shut me up!

I am so looking forward to today, i'm currently feeling much love for all things Villa.
