Ha, great stuff.

Although if does stray pretty close to suggesting armchair know alls should turn it in a bit, and I'm sure we all agree that's not on.

I agree with everything DW has written. I'm exhausted and glad I'm exhausted.

one of your best pieces Dave because it properly sums up the worst, the worst, the worst and then why we crawl back to it like some battered wife.

I love that. I'm an absentee fan; I can't afford to go to Villa Park currently, but my eldest is 5 next year and I cannot wait to bring him. He is going to love it. Football for me is Villa.

I would just like to say that Ben Foster is the greatest player in the glorious history of world football.

Bar none!!!

The last few years I have grown more and more cynical about top level football. That hasn't changed one bit.
I had also grown more apathetic about our own failings. By telling myself that I cared less I would be hurt less.
The last 15 minutes or so last night made me realise that I am still just as vulnerable riding the emotinal rollercoaster that comes from being in love with Aston Villa.

Excellent article, brought a smile to my face even though I'd guessed the last line before reading it.
