Ah. The cornalty.

Found it in the new English dictionary Lee....

Cornalty. A passage of footballing play whereby Aston Villa FC's opposition win a dead ball set-piece situation in one of four corners of a football field which is inevitably converted with a headed goal.

We need a word now for the Westwood floaty corner which drifts into the box with all the menace of a beach ball.

The only enjoyable thing about last season was the party against Newcastle.
They expected revenge or at least a laugh, we laughed at ourselves.

Agree with Robbo.
I can't remember how much it cost for flights from Oz and dodgy scalped ticket for 2015 Cup Final so that was worst for me but watching the 0-6 to Liverpool on TV was sickening.
Reading through all the posts is pretty depressing as I have tried to forget a lot of it.
Onwards and upwards now.

The long list of players brought in who've just been taking the piss out of this club and its supporters. It's not hard to see that agents soon discovered that Villa was a goldmine for their turds.

I went down to VP to get a cup final ticket. There were a couple of days to spare and a few hundred tickets left, and the queues had disappeared completely. They still wouldn't sell me a single ticket because I didn't have enough booking refs. By the Saturday night I couldn't have been more grateful to the twats.

Thinking about it, the biggest low was the cup final. Not the result but finding out Drummond had been scammed, he'd found me a ticket too.

If I'd known at the time, I'd have given him mine.

I was excited when I saw this thread thinking it was going to be about WWE and favourite finishing moves.

I thought it was about Lynsey de Paul

I thought it was going to be a thread about which Villa player had the biggest arse. McCormack's gets him into the fringes of the Aston Villa Fattest Arses XI

At a game towards the end of the season, we were awarded a corner at the Holte End. Guy in the upper tier yells to Westwood as he trots over to take it "FLOAT IT IN." He does. It's cleared. "BRILLIANT."

Also, I refuse to believe that the decline of the club in the latter half of Lerner's tenure was down to deliberate sabotage. Neglect and disinterest certainly but not a wilful act of destruction.

What was the game where inflated beach balls and blow-up dolls were batted onto the pitch? All that was missing were Postma's dildos.

I think a Westwood corner should be a Fetherlite, like the condom.  In it goes.  No ultimate end product.

Hopefully in future, Bruce will use the withdrawal method.
