Does anyone do desperate and devoid of ideas quite as well as Villa? There's probably toddler sides out there with more composure than we ever seem to have. And yes, perhaps we have been cursed by MON. The devious fucker. We're possibly the best side in the history of football, at looking beaten after 50 minutes when 1-2 down. Most teams get to the dead and buried stage around the 3rd or 4th. We look done after the first.
