Must admit, I do prefer looking like we can score every time we attack and looking ropey in defense rather than looking tight at the back and shit going forward. And yes, I know there is a happy medium but sod it, I want to be entertained.

Just panning round the crowd on Bet365. Lots of villa fans there.

Agree PWS. It's like having Keegan in charge at times, but it seems like ages since we've had entertaining, attacking football

Did he just ask if that was an iconic cheer, rather than ironic? I have the volume low.
Got a link?

Completely agree. But it's frustrating if the difference between silverware and lower mid table plucky triers for instance, is one quality centre half. We always seem to have one or two departments sorted but lacking in one vital area.

However, if we're going to have a bias, I'd much rather it was swashbuckling devil may care football like this.

We haven't played all that well. We haven't moved the ball around that quickly, Shamrock hav e found it too easy to close us down. The nice thing is that even when a bit below par we have the punch up front to get goals.

Re the 19th minute, it was a fitting tribute to the man when he needed it, I'd rather there were a conscious decision to stop rather than let it fizzle out. Now is an appropriate time.

That is what I love about us now, we haven't played that well and have scored twice and easily could have scored a few more.

The only interesting thing Woodward has said all day - McGrath in the crowd signing autographs
