Now there's a guy doing his best to keep his excitement in check and not quite succeeding.  ;D

"Something's stirring at Villa Park" well something is definitely stirring at Arsenal, the fallout after our win is bordering on the hysterical

Nice article Dave

Oh I saw a post from a Spurs fan which tickled me "In Arsene We Rust"

Good article, Dave. I think you make this point well:
The very fact that the team’s first instinct when they had the opportunity was to attack rather than hang on tells you everything you need to know about Paul Lambert’s philosophy for the season. Not every performance will be this good, nor every result as satisfying, but Villa will be aiming to score more than the opposition instead of trying to concede less.
On the evidence of their first half against Hull, Chelsea will score a goal or two against us, but who's to say we won't score one or two as well?

Regarding the bit about 'the most expensive tickets in the country', Dave, at least they didn't overcharge our fans. Very reasonable. It is a pity that Chelsea can't be a bit more reasonable.

Especially with Chelsea being run by one of the richest men in football.

Great stuff Dave. I like the last bit... Something is stirring at Villa Park. It sure is! I think we are in for a very good year.

Good to read a Villa celebration after the predictable 'where Arsenal went wrong' groanfest in the dailies, today! Thanks, Dave.
