This has been the first pre season since I was very little, that I've not been able to have the "How will the Villa do then!" conversation with my Dad. There aren't any rules to how we deal with the loss, none that mean a damn anyway! Anything that works is allowed (Well you know within the laws of the land and all that!). Nine months down the line it's easier to deal with, doesn't mean you forget him for a minute, just that you honour his life by living yours. So give em a shout on Saturday for your Dad for mine oh and for me cos a niggling bloody illness is stopping me going! UTV!
