Brilliant (140th Anniversary)

[darren woolley]

Brilliant I really enjoyed it.

[Pat McMahon]

The exact date doesn't matter. We were formed in 1874 (probably), so let's just enjoy it.

Correctamundo PWS. Cracking video , though disappointingly Bradley sounds somewhat northern. Do we have any famous Villa fans who are Brummies other than Benjamin Zephaniah? Kennedy, Merv and Prince Billie  are all from out of town, and Tom Hanks is a bit fair weather for me.

Paul,of course, you mean other than me and you?

Aftab, I am not even famous in my own family, though I have been recognised by a couple of Chinese people in Shanghai this morning. Looks like the famous Brummie Villa fan tag is on your shoulders

Yes, it's great but it doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know.

Maybe I'm cynical (infact I know I am) but they can make all the shiney, corporate type videos they like until the people who manage the club show an ounce of ambition, nous and commitment these things just leave m e feeling a little, well meh really.

Remember "Proud History, Bright Future" being regurgitated at some American college by the  General.  Sorry but after that this stuff feels hollow coming from them lot.

[Mortimer's Bear]

We get so many things right off the pitch, wonderful piece of film.

Exactly. Looks very much like all they can do now is look to our proud history.

I disagree. Highs and lows have permeated Villa's history, and undoubtedly there are more to come, whoever owns and manages the team, but there's always time to remember why you support them, no matter how they might be getting on at this moment. So I think think this is a great video.

Here's our contribution from across the pond:

They've just shown it on Sky Sports News.

I want to see our own version of Factory of Sadness done. Then again, this is probably not the time or place. Nice video.

[PeterWithesShin]

Nice video from our American friends, although I think it would have been better without the background singing.

Things can always be better/worse.
Good on you folk for actually getting it together, happy memories of watching the villa in a pub in LA including with the Ozzy signed flag (yes I know Geezer is the real fan...)

Also glad to see such a decent official video, that has been shared widely by me.

I've just said hello to Cowans, Rimmer and McNaught in the pub. :-)

Only thing wrong with video was Deadly trying to mention his bicycle kicks.
