I enjoy a trip to Villa Park whoever we’re playing, still get the same buzz when the stadium comes into sight, more than anything though I enjoy my day out with my son, if he didn’t support Villa I doubt I’d go to any matches. He enjoys going to watch Harrogate Town with his mates these days and I can see a time when he isn’t bothered about going to Villa matches, reckon we’ll get to a game before the end of the season though.

 Well done again to Steve Bruce on an important win, he didn't do the post match interviews due to him mother being taken ill. All the best to your family Steve.

It must have been hard for him to fully focus on the game last night so fair play to the chap.

Is it about time we removed the poll?

Or renew it as the poll is only renewed after a couple of defeats and never after a run of wins?

Is that really the case? If so it should be renewed now for balance.

Get rid, it’s embarrassing. We’ve just won 5 games on the trot with a real chance of automatic promotion. After the 7 years we’ve just had it feels like a breath of fresh air.

Hang on, I've just changed my vote. Let the internet bask in this fact for at least a short while!

We're on a five game winning run, and Legion wants to change something?!

Every time we change it, we start playing like an Erik Black Dream XI.

So keeping the same gets my vote.

If anyone wants to start a new thread with Bruce at the right hand of God, then crack on.

We are playing well, results are great and his job is secure which makes the poll redundant.
