Crying over the Villa
« on: April 02, 2016, 05:49:51 PM »
When the inevitable happens, there won't be the usual middle aged guy crying on Sky as we have been down for a long time. This season we could have easily shed a tear every weekend, but when did Villa last make you cry ?

Mine was 1987 aged 9 when we sold Mark Walters.

I cry before every game when I'm setting out and then after the match when my girlfriend tells me I've had too much and have to leave the pub.

I haven't cried over football since England lost to Argentina in 1998.

The camera will still catch some numpty bawling his eyes out next week. Why would you cry though? We've been down since December.

The last (only?) time I cried at a Villa game was during Abide With Me at Wembley last season.

I definitely had tears in my eyes after Dion scored that penalty in 2000.

I cried with happiness when we won the league & again a year later when we won the European cup.
Relegation just makes me angry!

I was welling up before both FA Cup Finals but not crying.

My boy, aged 10, cried his eyes out when Arsenal went 3-0 up.

Oh and I definitely cried before the 2000 final, my mom died less than a year before and I stood outside the ground looking at the twin towers thinking of her and my dad, who passed a decade earlier, and blarted like a girl for about a minute.

When we were last relegated. I was about 14 and I think we lost the West Ham.

I don't think I cried but I was welling up then too. As I was momentarily after the final whistle in the semi.

Sheff Weds, I didn't cry but I welled up a bit leaving The Holte. I'd not long turned 16.
