Christ that 89/90 season review brings back some memories.

The video got me wondering whatever happened to Elton Welsby. Check out his Wikipedia page. Partridge-esque in places.

Still painful after nearly 25 years!!  Considering we had Cowans, McGrath and Platt pretty much near their peak, a top striker might have been the difference.

As for the present, it would be nice to think we will at least show some attacking intent.  Would like to see a bit more of Grealish and Robinson.

Gotta sign off with style go out with 5 at the back, huff and puff till about 40 mins then let one in, look around at manager and coaching staff then at each other, and decide lets defend for another 60mins and lose 4-0, well that's the Villa style now isn't it.

I'm sure we've got one last embarrassment left in us this season and as it's on Sky I'm sure we'll oblige.  4-0 Spurs.

I cant help but think if we have a go at them we may have a chance. Wet Spam beat them easily, Spurs don't seem too interested. Why cant we have a go at them, Lambert?

I think they need a point to qualify for the Europa Cup so they may put some effort in. As Albrighton is probably out our lot will not show much attacking intent and probably lose 2-0.

But who cares.? Tomorrow is all that matters for Aston Villa. Or maybe even tonight!

This the last game of the Post MON era. Take a good look at it and remember what it was like.

The key thing is that both Hull and WBA drop points below us so we can finish as high as possible. I don't hold much hope we'll win today but i'd like to think the teams below us will only draw or lose so we finish as high as possible. Win and we'd be above West Ham whom you'd imagine would lose today.
