I didn't hear them from the Holte and that's surprising considering there were so many Blose in the Holte in disguise wearing claret and blue colours.

They were in the Holte singing along with the Villa fans. That's the only explanation as to why we were so loud. I'm surprised they haven't claimed credit for it.

Regarding the bleating about the difference in what the two teams cost and the way they played etc.  Correct me if I am wrong but, didn't Notts County cost less than the Noses then came along and put it up to us and when they eventually lost never mentioned a word about how much more our squad cost as opposed to theirs.  Notts County came with, and left with dignity.

Each time they wheel out that excuse the value of our squad seems to go up. Lerner and Fox must be chuffed with Sherwood. In the past few days every one of his summer signings have doubled in value.

Hate playing the chumps, but fuckin LOVE beating them.
They've conveniently forgotten how their amazing support performed in the 5:1 game when the away end emptied after the third goal went in.
They need to let it go now and move on, it'll just eat away at them otherwise.

About 140 years too late for that.

They're back on form I see.  And Lambert can fcuk off as well, because no matter how much in the shit we are at the moment we have still had a better 9 months than if we were still being subjected to your 'excellent' brand of football.

Are sending a photographer to the rededication of George Ramsey's grave on Monday. Not sure who is writing the accompanying story.

Trust website has full details if you want to pop along.

I,ve stopped buying the Mail for the past 2 months & just dont miss it at all.
The layout of the paper seems to have morphed into the Metro, & as everyone has pointed out  they seemed to have a higher than average number of
journos lining up to have a pop. Going back a few years, I think it was a Roger Skidmore?, He loved a Balance of Power piece regarding ourselves &
Small Heath.

This weeks entry for the Mails 'A new journalistic low' award. Any Villa fan buying this bilge wants his head examined.

This hatred of Aston Villa probably started with our first ever game at Villa Park in 1897.The hacks arrived only to find tables had been provided but no seats whatsoever. They had to stand and it has never been forgotten!

Yep. I don't profess to be a master of the English language, but I can't recall seeing the phrase "gotten into" appearing in a published article before.
