So how excited are you about the new season?

[oldtimernow]

Looking forward to this season with anticipation not experienced for years....a 7 point haul from our first 3 games could go a long way to us challenging for 6th spot finish at the very least...C'mon you Lions

If you cannot get excited on the morning of the first game of the season, an away game no less, a good away day too, then you should consider the services of an undertaker, because surely the blood has stopped pumping through your veins.

You might want to moan like fuck come five o clock, but for now, who cares?

know where your coming from Deano's Mullet (great name btw, and he was one of the best players ive seen down the Villa) and that's the kind of reason im scoring a 10 as I believe we have a bunch of young talent that warrant enthusiasm. I was there against Malaga and I thought we played some good stuff. yes weve got arse chelski and red bin dippers, but im not going into todays game saying were not going to win, cuz I seriously think we can get at em. if the worst comes to the worst, I will remain up beat as I believe in what this manager is doing.

Is this the "I hate modern football so much but am still going to spend thousands of hours on here talking about it and several afternoons at matches watching it" thread?

There's a difference between being interested and being excited. I won't make many (if any) aways this season so next week will be my first game and I will probably start getting excited on the walk to the ground, after a couple of pints. Today I'll be keeping an eye on things but in amongst doing other stuff.

Of course I reserve the right to take a completely different view should we be 3-0 up at half time.

You can actually hear some of the old boys in hear letting out accidental farts under their tartan blankets as they sit in the window waiting for something to moan about to pass the day before they get to go back to sleep again.

Its the morning of the start of the season, we have a great young team, a forward thinking manager, one of the best 3-4 strikers in the league and all the potential to be something really special. Weve got a team we can finally relate to and no a single tosser anywhere near the first team.

Yes we may get smashed and the world may look bleak at 5pm but untill 3.01pm this afternoon we could do anything. West Brom were in the top four for a third of the season last year ffs.

If you have answered anything less than 8 I think you need to have a long look at yourself and workout whether this is really for you anymore. Its not an accident we support the best team in the world.

F**king 10. C'mon Villa.

Most incongruous opening paragraph ever...maybe that's just what happens in Middle Earth?

Roughly 7.3682543 for me.

I'm nervous and excited now. As long as we don't get thumped today. I am not ready for Hansen and Lawro spending ten minutes patronising us and ripping our defence to bits and I don't want a man/afghan hound predicting our relegation for shits and giggles. This is going to be our year to run amok and very few people other than us realise it.
Come on you young Lions, get amongst it!

[Gregorys Boy]

8 and that is only because we are unlikely to get a point until mid September.

Aside from our start I am buzzing to see how we do!

Not even at least a point at home to Liverpool? I fancy us to win that one.

[Karlos96]

I'd probably say a 3, not missed it at all during the summer. 

[eastie]

I'm hopeful of a top half finish and some exciting times ahead for us this season , the first 3 games are tough but I'm confident we can pick up points - lets hope its a season to cherish.

[Drummond]

I'm slightly more excited than I was......

[supertom]

Eleventy out of 10.

[Rudy65]

Im orgasmic. 48 years young and jumping around the room like a demented fool. Happy days, gotta enjoy results like this

[KevinGage]

I'm slightly more excited than I was......

Ditto. 

Thought it would be September at the earliest before we got any points on the board. 

Anything from the next two games is a bonus, but we'll have confidence going into them.

[VILLA MOLE]

Eleventy out of 10.

out of 10?  don't you mean  twelvety
